Having referred to him up to this point as “Abdul El-Sayed” in its press releases, the National Republican Senatorial Committee this morning goes with “Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed,” The Bulwark reports.

Abdul El-Sayed, who declared victory in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, said that “there’s a lot of healing to do after a hard-fought primary like this,” CBS News reports. Said El-Sayed: “But I have said that this is a big open movement. We welcome anybody and everybody who understands that we need a government of the […]

“Eight of the world’s largest shipping industry associations urged the United Nations and International Maritime Organization to oppose any compulsory tolls or transit charges in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that such a move could set a precedent for similar fees at other key maritime choke points,” Bloomberg reports.
