Rx Kids, a program that offers pregnant moms cash assistance, is growing quickly in Michigan. It will come to Detroit next.

BREAKING: Rx Kids is coming to Detroit! Welcoming a new baby shouldn't come with impossible choices. Providing families with real support is all about dignity, stability and the opportunities to thrive right from the start.
Last month, Republicans unilaterally cut $645 million for kids with cancer, firefighters & police, and moms & babies. Now that they see what a huge f-up that was, they're scrambling to get money back, but just for their own neighbors.

We're fighting for a future where health care can bring peace of mind, not sticker shock. Without action from Republicans in DC, families are being hit with higher monthly costs or forced to choose between seeing a doctor and paying the bills.
Health subsidies expire, launching millions of Americans into 2026 with steep insurance hikes

Car prices are expected to stay high in 2026, and #TrumpsTariffs are a big reason why. Higher costs on parts and materials mean higher prices at the lot. Michigan families shouldn't pay more just to get to work.

Brace yourselves, Michigan: higher health care costs are on the horizon. ACA tax credits that have helped nearly half a million people afford life-saving coverage are set to expire because Republicans in DC failed to act. No one should be priced out of care.

Dems believe in taking care of our neighbors. MI House Republicans don't. Their actions speak loud & clear: it sure isn't neighborly to rip away money from local nonprofits that help vulnerable Michiganders — families, seniors, kids.

Protecting kids should never be political. Michigan House Republicans cut funding from organizations that support children going through the unspeakable — programs that provide care, counseling and justice. Survivors deserve compassion and support, not cruel GOP clawbacks.

House Dems believe everyone should be able to put food on the table. Thanks to Trump's SNAP changes, millions in food aid could slip through the cracks here in Michigan, putting our neighbors and communities at risk — all for political gain.

Health care is supposed to be about people, not politics. By stripping millions in resources, the MI House GOP pulled the rug out from under local hospitals that are already stretched thin, especially in rural communities. House Dems will continue fighting for accessible care.

Let's be real, families are stretched thin. Matt Hall ripped away $645M in already promised funds that could have helped communities across the state. Sending Michigan dollars back to DC while people struggle isn't leadership; it's a choice.

You can tell a lot about someone by their priorities. With costs up for, well, everything, House Republicans decided now was the time to claw back $645 million in community funds. Less help for Michiganders, more political games.
