Voting early will never get old! Here’s me, voting on a Sunday 🇺🇸. Thanks to the passage of Prop 2 in 2022 and my Democratic colleagues and I codifying its provisions into law, we Michiganders enjoy 9 days of early voting. So, get out there and vote ahead of the August 4th primary! #OpeIVoted

Write it on my f****** tombstone.

Today is the 6th anniversary of this tweet, revealing that the threat of political violence could happen even inside a state capitol. Months later, our nation’s capitol was attacked in one of the most devastating displays of political violence in American history.

I have been fighting for my constituents since 2019. “It's time to fight, and the fight is now."

Thank you to Governor Whitmer for signing my school cell phone bill into law this morning! This goes to show that we can work across the aisle and across chambers if it means doing what’s right for kids.

The people of Michigan deserve leaders who have their best interests at heart and stay true to their word. GOP House Speaker Matt Hall has proven to do just the opposite, attempting to rob my constituents of the resources they were promised from the state with bicameral, bipartisan agreement.

Today we honor the American heroes in the U.S. Capitol Police department and other law enforcement officers who were beaten and crushed while defending the United States Capitol against a domestic attack on the day Congress was certifying the Presidential election.

For POTUS to vow to make Venezuelans rich while Americans can’t afford groceries, health insurance, or homes is an outrage. How does perp walking a foreign leader make Americans rich? Does any American really believe this gold mine for his friends in oil will somehow “trickle down” to them?

Michigan House Republicans consider fixing Inkster’s Community Center roof to be “waste,” “fraud,” and “abuse,” so they clawed back the funding Inkster was set to receive to fix the roof. This is what happened last night at the Dozier community center. Inkster’s mayor and residents are devastated.

"Thank you, Mr. President. I rise today because I’m sickened.

Yesterday, my caucus, the Michigan Senate Democrats, asked Attorney General Dana Nessel to weigh in on the legality of House Republicans’ clawback of over half a billion in funding for kids with cancer, food assistance for seniors, and support for child abuse victims.

Our President is a fucking psychopath. Here’s a definition to help MAGA out.

On @repmatthall’s chopping block for my community are building renovations to open a new branch of the Kids-TALK Children’s Advocacy Center.

Just finished telling some of the mayors in Senate District 5 that unspent dollars for long-term work projects that were awarded to them in fiscal year 2025 will be clawed back by @RepMattHall. These projects will go unfinished. 💔ing day.

“We’re not doing FOIA [for legislators]," Hall said during a Nov. 6 Capitol press conference. "We’re just not going to do FOIA.”

God, grant me the freedom from “imposter syndrome” that actual imposter Pete Hegseth enjoys as he berates an actual Navy Captain and Astronaut.

Are we supposed to view “saving” food programs that already exist for low-income Americans as a big win? Nothing on preserving affordable ACA plans? This misses the mark.

Groundbreaking and Ceilingsmashing!
