Take away our kids and grandparent’s Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires? NO F*#&ING WAY! LISTEN UP, CONGRESS: Families of every race and every place should have the freedom to get the healthcare we need. Call 866-426-2631. Tell Congress #HandsOffMedicaid

Withholding these bills is blatantly unconstitutional and a slap in the face to Michiganders who expect their officials to act transparently and lawfully. The constitution is clear: “Every bill passed by the legislature shall be presented to the governor…”
Michigan Democrats’ pension, retirement bills in limbo amid GOP ‘legal review’ | Bridge Michigan
Michigan Democrats approved the bills last month but didn’t send them to the governor. House Republicans aren’t doing it for them.

Actions speak louder than words! 😤 Blocking teachers' healthcare and corrections officers' pensions shows your anti-worker true colors, no matter what words you say #MiLeg #Michigan #Solidarity #SolidarityForever #1u #SupportWorkingPeople @aftunion.bsky.social @seiu.org @aflcio.org

On one of the last remaining days to vote on legislation before the end of the year, House Republicans have walked off the floor and are refusing to vote. Democrats are in the chamber and doing the work, because we will never stop #PuttingPeopleFirst

Michigan House Republicans just walked out off the job to hold a press conference instead of staying to vote on important legislation supporting hardworking Michiganders.

We have work to do and I hope they will come back and do their job.

Most workers would be fired for walking off the job in the middle of the day. House Republicans hold a press conference with Santa instead of doing the job tax payers are paying them to do. We have a clear naughty list. #MiLeg

Passing our #wateraffordability legislation not only is the moral thing to do for Michigan families struggling to pay their bills.

It's also the smart thing to do to protect our public health.

It's the prudent thing to do for the stability of our cities and townships' water providers. #mileg
