Tipped workers deserve a pay raise, not a pay cut. As the pro-worker party, House Dems are introducing amendments to #MILeg House Bills 4001 and 4002 to fight for increased wages and earned sick leave for the working class. đź§µ

Trump's reckless funding "freeze" is creating chaos for Michiganders. Childcare programs closed. Layoffs at government contractors. Research stopped at UM and MSU. Trump's chaos is bad for Michigan and bad for America. inc.com/kit-eaton/smal…

The U.S. Education Department is scrapping a policy from the Biden administration that threatened to upend colleges’ plans to pay athletes for their name, image and likeness by making those payments subject to federal Title IX rules. apnews.com/article/nil-co…

Why deal and not leave the law as the people of Michigan voted for and the MI Supreme Court upheld? This is because greedy corporations and the Restaurant Association have spent millions lobbying in Michigan to get people to think paying fair wages to tipped workers is wrong.

Shawn Fain hit the nail on the head. We need people in office to represent the working class. That isn’t even close to the standard with the current state of the Democratic Party.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

The massive turnout at the Bernie rally should be a wake-up call for Michigan’s moderate Dems. People aren’t looking for lukewarm leadership—they want fighters. We need leaders who will champion fair wages, take on fascists, and actually meet the moment.

Under the "leadership" of Speaker Matt Hall, the Republican-controlled Michigan House has spent months on nonsense hearings and political games... but gotten virtually nothing done. They're more interested in playing MAGA games than helping Michiganders. bridgemi.com/michigan-gover…

At yesterday’s #HandsOff rally, we stood up to say: no more cuts to the services our communities rely on. They’re coming for Social Security next—and we won’t let them. Fems for Dems is in this fight.

Our healthcare system is too often defined by broken bureaucracy and corporate greed instead of compassion and care. Michigan families deserve a healthcare system that works for them, not against them.

Senator Dayna Polehanki This spark of joy doesn't come from earning subminium wages and living paycheck to paycheck. Perhaps if our officials like you don't vote down pay increases we would have more of this here.
