🎥 “We’re tired of the establishment. We’re tired of the status quo.” Ryan Grim spoke with Michigan state Rep. Donovan McKinney, who is challenging Rep. Shri Thanedar in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, about the state’s other closely watched Democratic primaries. McKinney defended Will Lawrence against accusations of racism over remarks arguing that an older generation of Black Democratic leaders has helped legitimize a party establishment that serves corporate and imperial power while blocking the left. “He’s not totally wrong,” McKinney said, pointing to Democrats bailing out banks instead of Detroit homeowners, abandoning police reform after George Floyd, and failing to protect voting rights as examples of why younger Black voters are losing faith in the party. McKinney also said he has met voters misled by pro-Haley Stevens ads into believing Barack Obama endorsed her. Obama has made no endorsement in the race between Stevens and progressive challenger Abdul El-Sayed. Donavan McKinney | Ryan Grim

NEWS: After sitting out new endorsements in 2024 to defend the Squad from AIPAC’s multimillion-dollar attacks, Justice Democrats are making their first 2026 non-incumbent endorsement — backing Donavan McKinney in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District (MI-13) against incumbent Rep. Shri Thanedar. McKinney is running on a Bernie Sanders-style platform, including support for Medicare for All. Thanedar has flip-flopped throughout his political career. In 2018, during his run for Michigan governor, consultants reportedly advised him on whether to campaign as a Republican or Democrat; he chose the Democratic label and presented himself as a Bernie progressive. After losing that race, he self-funded a successful campaign for the state legislature in 2020. Two years later, in 2022, he spent millions more to win a seat in Congress. Earlier in his career, Thanedar ran as a pro-Palestine progressive. But after his 2022 congressional race, and after AIPAC poured millions against him, despite winning, he flipped and aligned himself with pro-Israel positions. Ryan Grim and Krystal Ball discuss what this means for the Democratic party. Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball

🎥 “For me, this is deeper than politics.” Michigan state Rep. Donovan McKinney told Ryan Grim that his family moved more than 13 times while he was growing up in Detroit, at times living in cars, shelters, and on the street. McKinney said those experiences and his grandmother’s insistence that he “never fight the urge to give” led him into public service. Now challenging Rep. Shri Thanedar in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, McKinney said residents are being forced to choose between rent, food, and medicine while Washington funds “bombs and weapons to kill families and children overseas.” His campaign rejects corporate PAC and AIPAC money and has raised more than $1 million, with an average donation of $30. Here’s part of his conversation with Ryan Grim on Breaking Points. Donavan McKinney | Ryan Grim

Michigan reporter Sam Robinson joins Ryan Grim to break down the kitchen-sink attacks against MI-7 candidate Will Lawrence, including claims that his past comments about the “corporate Black establishment” were racist. Robinson says the controversy lit up “the Politicos,” but appears to have barely registered with ordinary voters, noting that even in an interview with prominent Black journalist and commentator Roland Martin, much of the comment section sided with Lawrence and criticized the Congressional Black Caucus over Israel.

🗳️ Mapping the 2028 Democratic Field Ryan Grim says the 2028 Democratic presidential race begins taking shape with tonight’s primary results, which will show whether anti-war populism has real electoral momentum. AOC has a credible “free shot” at the nomination and, Grim says, may take it because “it’s just right there.” Newsom could win by wearing Democrats down and scratching their itch to watch Republicans get mocked. Jon Ossoff is also gaining attention as he mounts a strong Senate reelection campaign in Georgia, a state crucial to any Democratic path back to the White House. The results tonight will help determine if the 2028 field believes it must move toward a base increasingly to the party’s left. Ryan Grim | jeremy scahill

Then an Oracle-OpenAI joint venture threatened to sue the township into bankruptcy, forcing officials to fold and settle. “And after all that,” Lawrence said, Michigan Gov.

Incumbent Rep. Tim Moore, her primary opponent, says the move is intended "to deceive or fool Republican voters," and adds, "I mean, that's fraud at that point."

🎥 Queens Democrat Chuck Park Takes Aim at AIPAC, ICE, and Rep. Grace Meng Chuck Park is a former U.S. diplomat running against incumbent Rep. Grace Meng in the Democratic primary for New York’s 6th Congressional District in Queens. His congressional campaign is built around three fights: opposing ICE, securing universal healthcare, and opposing U.S. spending on wars and Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Park told Breaking Points that Rep. Meng has taken more than $2 million in AIPAC-linked support over her time in Congress. “She’s joining Republicans to defend Netanyahu against prosecution in the International Criminal Court,” Park said, noting Meng has been backing “unconditional billions” for Israel as families are bombed in Gaza. Park also described ICE raids in Queens, saying parents are still being detained outside courthouses, schools, construction sites, and parking lots. “The activity hasn’t stopped… There are dads being disappeared from Home Depot parking lots. A mom and a kid thrown into a van. This is daily.” Chuck Park | Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball | Emily Jashinsky

🗳️Zeeshan Hafeez is a progressive running for Congress in Texas’s 33rd District, “an entirely winnable seat,” he told Breaking Points. The race is defined by unusually low turnout. “Only about 22,000 people voted in the Democratic primary” in 2024, he said. Hafeez is running against two establishment Democrats, Julie Johnson and Colin Allred, “who have received a combined $700,000 from AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby,” he highlighted. With the Democratic field fractured, the establishment vote could be split, and “fewer than 10,000 votes could put this race into a runoff,” host Ryan Grim noted. Hafeez tied foreign policy to domestic priorities, asserting that voters are “dealing with an affordability crisis at home,” and calling for federal investment in public transit, housing, wages, and education rather than endless foreign wars. His stance on Gaza has become the campaign’s strongest mobilizing issue, he said. “This is the issue that gets standing ovations… It’s younger people, it’s older people, it’s people of color, it’s everyone, anyone of conscience.” Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky | Zeeshan Hafeez

Breaking Points spoke with Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, who is running for Congress in Philadelphia’s 3rd District, where he said voters are looking for authenticity and anti-establishment politics—and candidates willing to reject corporate PAC money, call the destruction in Palestine a genocide, and back policies like Medicare for All. Rabb said Democrats must connect foreign policy to material concerns at home, saying money spent on war could instead fund childcare, housing, and other urgent needs. His foreign policy positions include calls for the release of thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli torture prisons, support for the Palestinian right of return, and an end to the U.S. blockade on Cuba.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in her state senate race, whether she has spoken with AOC about her speech at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, where AOC said then-Vice President Kamala Harris was “working tirelessly to secure a cease-fire in Gaza.” Attention has since returned to the remark among critics who viewed it as a betrayal of the anti-genocide movement, particularly after AOC recently criticized former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) over Greene’s claims of solidarity with Palestinians.

🎥 Ryan Grim and Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman debate the backlash over AOC criticizing MTG’s recent comments on Gaza. Romman argues MTG is receiving outsized praise for “doing the bare minimum,” noting she previously refused to back measures like the Block the Bomb Act and only in 2025 introduced a failed amendment to cut weapons funding to Israel - an amendment that received just four votes. She says people can admit someone is “right and sincere,” and “right 10% of the time,” without “lionizing” them or overlooking the broader political forces they’ve long supported. Grim counters that broad opposition to the genocide matters politically, but agrees MTG quitting Congress undercuts claims she sacrificed her career over Gaza. Ryan Grim | Ruwa Romman
