After immense pressure from primary opponent Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., Abdul El-Sayed has released tax return information in advance of the August 4 primary in Michigan. Both Stevens and El-Sayed are running as Democrats for the open U.S. Senate seat to replace retiring Democrat Sen. Gary Peters.

El-Sayed’s tax return information was shared on Wednesday with WLNS. This is a pivot from El-Sayed previously saying that his returns would not be out until after the primary, a move that he blames on his wife’s family owning property abroad, and which he tried to justify by saying taxes can be “complicated.”

As mentioned in the local news report, the joint tax return information from the couple shows a reported total income for 2025 of $686,069 and an adjusted gross income of $675,246. That’s $130,749 in wages, $262,299 in capital gains, and $292,881 in additional income.

The 2025 financial disclosure estimated a net worth between $580,000 and $1.7 million.

The information shared was not enough for Stevens, who posted extensively to X throughout Wednesday, from criticizing El-Sayed to being wealthier than the average Michigander, to the vague “additional income” information and property.

According to her tax information already released, Stevens’ 2025 adjusted gross income was $169,970.

She continued to post on Thursday as well.

Beyond providing fodder for party infighting over personal finances, the tax return information shows that such wealth also flies in the face of El-Sayed’s image of being “Mr. Socialist Worker Man,” as Tony Kinnett pointed out during Wednesday’s “The Tony Kinnett Cast.”

“I love it,” Kinnett said of the primary battle. “I love it when Democrats start going after each other like this because they earned it. Because after all of the young socialists went after anyone who wasn’t pro-Islam and pro-open Marxism, they would go after all of the other candidates in the most vile ways that they can find. And it has truly upset Haley Stevens and her team,” Kinnett added, as he read from Stevens’ many posts on X.

Kinnett also pointed to El-Sayed’s capital gains, which he said “means that he’s a big stock market player,” which also could be in conflict with the Democratic Socialists of America who want to ban the stock market.

Stevens has her own baggage, particularly her goofy mannerisms on the campaign trail and during her time in the House, as Kinnett covered on Tuesday and Wednesday’s shows.

WLNS points to questions with Stevens’ own release of tax return information. Although the report mentioned she “volunteered her tax returns ahead of Tax Day earlier this year — which is not required by law — and has introduced legislation that would require members of Congress to publicly disclose their returns,” she also has “requested extensions to delay her annual financial disclosure filings every year since she entered Congress, even as her campaign criticized El-Sayed for delaying his.”

Stevens is currently ahead in certain polls, as Kinnett referenced on air, despite how “awful” she may be, and despite El-Sayed having previously led Stevens significantly, which Kinnett said “is a major warning.”

Stevens has herself promoted polls where she’s up, with a Detroit News/WDIV-TV poll showing her up by 7 points against El-Sayed, 48-41%.

El-Sayed is also faring particularly poorly with black voters, which Kinnett said could be due to do with the candidate’s criticisms of former President Barack Obama.

The winner of the Democrat primary will face former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., who was also the nominee in 2024 and lost to now Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., by 0.3%.

Newton’s third law indicates that every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. In Virginia politics, that is showing up in the push-and-pull over data centers.

The state is already peppered with data centers, and developers are rolling out plans to build more. In almost every location, local residents quickly rally to oppose their expansion.

“Virginia hosts the largest data center market in the world and is home to 35% of all known hyperscale data centers worldwide,” according to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership. “Virginia offers an exemption from retail sales and use tax for qualifying computer equipment purchased by data centers that meet statutory investment and employment requirements.”

A debate over whether to keep that tax break, which is in place through 2032, held up approval of the state budget for months. In the end, lawmakers and the governor agreed to maintain the break, but they will increase taxes on the energy that data centers consume to raise revenues.

A recent report from the Virginia State Corporation Commission, which regulates utilities in the state, provides a preview of the scope of the problem. Electric utility Dominion Energy has approved 111 new data center projects that it said will be connected to the grid by the end of 2031. It also has 200 more projects in the approval process. If all these data centers were connected, they could draw 70 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power more than 60 million homes.

Amid the concerns over power needs, protests against the spread of data centers are becoming more frequent. Last week, dozens of citizens converged on the Virginia Capitol grounds to demand a pause on permits for data centers. “If you won’t pass the guard rails we need, then you must put an immediate pause on all state data center permitting,” activist Sarah Ahmed of the Virginia League of Conservation Voters told WTVR. “Until then, we are watching and we are organizing.”

Kathryn Hatam traveled from Botetourt County to attend the rally. Google wants to build a massive facility in the county, where it would be the sixth largest in the country and could use 2 million gallons of water daily. That raises concerns. “Our Spring Hollow Reservoir, which is a smaller reservoir that serves the greater area, is 19 feet below pond level,” because of the state’s ongoing drought, Hatam told WTVR.

In Goochland County, land-acquisition company Tract has filed a pre-application for a conditional use permit that would allow it to build the Tuckahoe Technology Park along Route 6. Last November, the county approved a Tech Overlay District that allows the construction of massive data centers in the region. Tract plans to hold a community meeting next Thursday at Goochland High School, where it is likely to hear complaints from nearby residents.

In May, county and local officials agreed to a massive project at the Berry Hill megasite. Stack Infrastructure, the company developing the site, expects it to be a $100 billion investment that will eventually create 2,500 high-paying jobs. Matt Rowe, economic development director for Pittsylvania County, said the project “would represent one of the most lucrative single economic development projects in the U.S. for the host locale.”

In Loudoun County, a builder plans to build a taller-than-usual data center. “The three-story design provided a balance between real estate utilization, construction cost, and future growth flexibility,” the company writes. “Most of the multi-story data centers within ‘Data Center Alley’ are limited to 2-stories due to the prevalence of air-cooled systems and the lift limitations of refrigerant-based systems. Though multiple cooling architectures were considered, an innovative solution was ultimately developed to efficiently serve a three-story data center.”

This week, Franklin County residents demanded details about “Project Flash,” which may involve building data centers. County leaders haven’t provided any details about the development. “As the people, we should have the right to know when they’re going to make these decisions,” Danae Crosby told WSLS.

Prince William County is losing a pair of proposed projects: the Dulles Cloud South data center and the 1,760-acre Digital Gateway. Supervisors voted against allowing rezoning for Dulles Cloud South, while legal challenges blocked Digital Gateway. The county already contains more than 40 data centers, and more may be in the works.

Both of Virginia’s U.S. senators told WDBJ this year that they are concerned about data centers. However, neither support a federal moratorium on the facilities.

“I think that they need to make sure that they’re not overusing water. I need to make sure that their backup generators are not adding to pollution in the region,” Democrat Mark Warner, who is running for reelection, told the TV station in March.

Virginia’s data center policy will be handled at the state and local level for the foreseeable future.

The rise of socialism in the Democrat Party is "dangerous" for the country, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” from Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to Victor Davis Hanson’s own YouTube channel to watch past episodes.

Jack Fowler: Bill Jacobson, my pal—I love Bill. He’s the founder of Legal Insurrection.. 

He’s just a great guy. He posted this on X about this New York City immigrant enclaves map put out by the Mamdani administration, which said something like this had already been put out by the prior mayor. 

But Bill says, “Understand what’s going on here. It’s to erase European heritage in New York City. Children will grow up thinking New York City was created by the Third World. It’s symptomatic of what has happened in our education system.” 

So infamously here, there’s no Little Italy. New York has five boroughs—The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island—and each of them has their Italian enclaves, but you won’t find a Little Italy in any of them. 

No. 

The huge Irish community that’s still in New York City—I grew up in one, Woodlawn—it’s not there. But you’ll find Little Tibet, Little Bangladesh, Little Ecuador, Little Guyana, Little Manila, Little Odessa, etc. 

So Victor, two things. Is Bill right? Is this part of the willfulness? And while it’s fine to have ethnic neighborhoods, is this also anti E pluribus unum in some way? Your thoughts. 

Victor Davis Hanson: Yeah, oh, it is. But you’ve got to remember that this guy, [Zohran] Mamdani, is not a modest person. Most people would think it was a fluke that he got elected to the greatest city in the world, but that’s not how he thinks. He thinks this is a stepping stone to much greater, wider things. 

And so he is talking globalist all the time. He weighs in on global issues—Israel, the Palestinians, Iran. Mamdani says he’s going to arrest Netanyahu when he steps foot in New York. 

In this globalist vision, he wants to get on record that his city is just a conglomeration of all these different nations in the world, with one asterisk: In his world, immigration really didn’t start until 1965. European immigration, thanks to Teddy Kennedy’s immigration reforms, ended, and immigration from the former British Commonwealth—New Zealand, Australia, etc.—declined. 

We instead took people from what we used to call, and I don’t know if it’s a dirty word or not, the former Third World. 

So he thinks the world was started then. When he talks about immigrants, he doesn’t mean the hardworking Italians. He doesn’t mean the hardworking Jews. He doesn’t mean the hardworking Irish, all of whom came in enormous numbers and all were very poor. 

And they built the country. 

He thinks only the people—when he says immigrants built this country, that’s kind of a racist thing, because he’s only talking about people who are non-European. That’s what he means. 

And this country was, basically, with Black people making up about 10% of the population, about 85% of the population White, and about 5% Asian and 5% Hispanic for most of its history until about 1965 or 1970. 

So he’s wiping all of those people out, and he’s just saying that people like himself—the Indian diaspora, the South American diaspora, the African diaspora—these are the real immigrants who built America. That’s what he means. 

He’s an Orwellian figure. He really does want to use language and communication to wipe out large areas of knowledge. He thinks that by making maps like this… 

This map could have come right out of “1984”. It doesn’t exist, everybody. There is no Jewish community. There is no Italian community. There is no Irish community. Oh, you object? I must have forgotten. I’m sorry. 

That’s how he operates. 

He’s one of the slickest, slyest politicians, with that sly socialist smile that you’ll ever see. 

The difference is that these other communities that came here—their ethnic pride, their ethnic identities, or their national identities—were incidental, not essential, to being American. They were essentially Americans. 

They would have never taken a flag of Ireland or Italy and waved it while burning an American flag, like we see with the ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles. 

They would have never rooted against the American team because a visiting team from Ireland or Italy was playing. They would have never rooted against the American team and championed their former country, like we see with every soccer match that comes to the LA Coliseum. 

Jack Fowler: Yeah. 

Victor Davis Hanson: So that’s the difference. 

Jack Fowler: You know, Charlie Gasparino—I’m friends with Charlie. He’s a business columnist and writer for the New York Post, and I think folks see him on Fox every once in a while. He has a piece in the New York Post, maybe yesterday or today. 

Charlie’s an Italian American from the Bronx, like me. He points out these were not victim cultures. The Italians never played the victim card. The Irish didn’t either. 

And of course, I didn’t mention at the beginning that New York City had one of the largest—if not the largest—Jewish populations outside of Israel, over a million people. Where’s Little Israel on this map?  

Victor Davis Hanson: Yeah. 

Another thing I really resent when you bring that up is that in the Mamdani-Obama-AOC line of thinking, there was all this prejudice against people only because of their color, and this was supposedly unique. 

No, no. There was prejudice—maybe not based on color—but based on language and stereotypes, as there always is with a majority culture. 

This country was a majority English-speaking nation up until about 1840. The first big wave was the Irish Potato Famine, and then almost simultaneously came the Germans. 

You could make the argument that by 1860 the largest minority in the United States was German-speaking, and that remained true until almost 1900. 

Lincoln was asked why he had a couple of German-speaking generals with German names, and he said, “I have to because the German constituency wants some representation as generals.” 

My point is there was an enormous amount of prejudice. 

There were op-eds that literally asked, “Are the Irish human?” Remember those? They said the Irish were small, they supposedly, like I have, had monkey eyes or strangely shaped heads, and they were tiny people, and there was a lot of discrimination. 

Then, as you know better than I do, the presidential slogan, “We’re against Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion.” 

Jack Fowler: Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion, yeah. 

Victor Davis Hanson: Yes. The idea was that we let in all these people that are Catholics, and they were anarchists and drunks. 

The Italians dealt with the stereotype that every Italian was a criminal or from Sicily—a mafioso. 

So there was a lot of prejudice. 

Yet these people came long before the latest waves of immigration. They came, in relative terms, prior to 1965—in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s—they were much poorer in material terms. They had nothing. 

Today’s immigrant comes with a cell phone, sneakers, and a whole basket of entitlements. 

Forty-five percent of the U.S. budget is spent on some type of welfare assistance. 

There was none of that then. None. 

So I think we have to remember that this country was built by immigrants—but it’s not just the immigrants on Mamdani’s map.
