We need better transparency and anti-corruption laws in Michigan. Republicans have prevented these bills from passing for years. Hopefully, this is the year we can get it done.

I sponsored the first Senate bill of the new legislative session — allowing the public to request the inside records from the Governor & Legislature via FOIA. Michiganders deserve honest, ethical & transparent representation. Let’s finally get this done. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…

When disasters happen, we should come together to support people, whether it's fires in CA or floods in NC. Unfortunately, Trump is a conman who just says whatever he thinks is politically beneficial. That's why disaster response is now all politics. He's a big embarrassment.

Seniors: Democrats gave you $35 prescription drugs and Republicans are already plotting to take it away. Elections matter.

My public statement regarding a critical piece of legislation that I championed in the 102nd Legislature: Speaker Matt Hall stated today that he will not formally present nine remaining bills from the 2023-24 legislative term to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, pending legal review.

Republicans first action in control of the Michigan House is to violate the Michigan Constitution.

Another week in America: Something really bad happens, Trump lies & lies & lies about what happened, his cheerleaders, including the owner of this platform, use social media to spread those lies, & presto! The lies are believed by way, way, way too many.👇cnn.com/2025/01/09/pol…

Senate Bills 1 and 2: Allowing you to access the inside records of the Governor and State Legislature via FOIA. Over the last decade, too many leaders in Lansing have been unwilling to embrace a more transparent state government. Our Senate majority is prioritizing it.

Are Republicans really going to violate the MI Constitution as their first substantive act?! legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objec…. The next decision point after the #mileg votes is when the governor decides whether to sign it, not the clerk deciding whether to kill the bill independently.

Michigan Republicans first substantive action in control of the House is to withhold bills helping firefighters, teachers, police officers, and corrections officers with healthcare and pensions. Democrats will make them follow the law. #Michigan #teacher. #police #🚒

Speaker Matt Hall and House Republicans’ first order of business this year was to block NINE important bills from being sent to the governor's desk. 🧵🧵

The grand irony of our time: Wealthy elites ran a populist campaign promising to rid the government of being run by wealthy elites only to win and install their own wealthy elites to run the government in a way that will only benefit wealthy elites.

Trump's SCOTUS rules against free speech. Another sad indicator of America's slide into oligarchy and oppression.

There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

In '61, John F. Kennedy was Inaugurated on the Capitol steps, in windchills of 7 degrees. It was almost as cold for Obama in '09. In fairness, Trump IS more than 3 decades older than JFK & Obama were. Or did he just fear small crowds?

Republicans are starting to get specific about tax changes they want to make. As expected, these changes increase your taxes and the cost of goods but greatly lower the taxes of billionaires and multi-millionaires. Other changes threaten to shutter hospitals & slow the economy.

Of course, Trump was lying.
