All of us want a state budget that is efficient with tax dollars and invests in our communities, but the House GOP’s budget proposal does the opposite. Here are just 10 of the important programs they want to cut.

Matt Hall and his Michigan Republicans are busy attacking hospitals, doctors, nurses and patients. Hall went on a childish rant today against Michigan’s hospitals because they spoke the truth about the harmful consequences of the Republican’s billion $ cuts to healthcare.

As much as Matt Hall wants to project that he is the judge, jury, and executioner of all things Lansing, the reality is that he is not the Senate majority leader, he is not the governor, and so without true bipartisan work, nothing is going to get done.

Republicans love their political stunts. Today, Speaker Speaker Matt Hall teamed up with Secretary Linda McMahon to rub his overwhelming cuts to public education in the faces of Detroit's Public School kids. Michigan needs a final budget, not a photo op and false promises. #MiLeg

Today, MI House Democrats introduced a resolution condemning political violence. House Republicans refused to entertain it on the floor. We won't be silenced — we read it out loud in the Capitol, because the message is too important to ignore. #MILeg

Last night, we took action to keep Michigan’s government open and functioning by extending the current fiscal year budget for the next 7 days. This gives us more time to keep fighting for a final budget that truly reflects our values: strong public schools, more affordable

Rep. Alabas Farhat on the #MiBudget: I do not see a Democrat or Republican budget. I see a budget that works for Michigan. I see a budget that represents the values each & every single one of us was elected to carry forward. #MiLeg

House Dems didn’t stop fighting for kids & schools until we protected what you care most about! ✅ School meals. ✅ Rural busing. ✅ Mental health & school safety. ✅ Special education & literacy. ✅ Teacher bonuses. #MiLeg #MiBudget

Last night was a very late night in Lansing as we finished a little after 4AM. The compromise, bipartisan budget for the next fiscal year is done. I heard from constituents almost daily for the last few weeks about how important free universal school meals were to them. 🧵 1/2

Just days ago, we passed Michigan’s budget, preventing a shutdown that would’ve left kids without meals & families without care. We delivered real wins: protecting healthcare, funding schools, investing in safety, cutting taxes on tips & Social Security. Now it’s Washington’s

There is a lot to unpack from last week’s budget, but I wanted to take a moment to discuss the school aid budget that passed last week, and what it means for families and children in Michigan.

Michigan passed a budget that protects healthcare, funds schools, and cuts taxes for working families — avoiding a shutdown and delivering real wins. Now, all eyes are on Washington, where dysfunction threatens everything we’ve fought for. The stakes are high, but we can’t

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Under the Trump administration, there's fewer jobs, less opportunities and an economy that works only for the rich. House Dems are fighting to bring real relief and concrete solutions to help YOU.

The best part of my job is making a difference for the families who need it most. This holiday season and beyond, my office is here to help relieve some of the burden folks are holding, from feeding our neighbors to getting relief passed in the Legislature.

In 2025, MI #HouseRepublicans… 🔪 Slashed $645 million in funding for kids, seniors and workers. ❌ Failed to deliver a budget on time. 🌦️ Refused to bring light to the #MiLeg via FOIA. 😬 Delivered the least productive year since the Civil War.
