I'd like to remind my opponent Lisa McClain that it's not good enough whether you vote to release the rest next week, but that you didn't even have the moral compass to sign the discharge in the first place.

I remember growing up with my conservative family members, hunters, who taught me to conserve our land, air, and waters, because that's what gives us everything we care about. Having Cystic Fibrosis, I took that to heart, but unfortunately, they now call this "woke". Our kids deserve better!

DTE found its way to a loophole in the 2023 Clean Energy law that requires them to get to 100% renewable energy by 2040. Now they want to green light the project that would allow them to bypass that law WITHOUT PUBLIC HEARINGS.

Nope. DTE, show your work.

We outnumber them 10 million to one and as soon as we figure that out, there goes their way of life!

It was never about minimum wage, it was about keeping the ants in line.

🪖 Today, on #VeteransDay, I would like to take a moment to show my gratitude. Those who served our nation chose to put their lives on the line to fight for a better #America, and we owe it to them to make it happen.

Get you a candidate who's not afraid to pull up and show up 😎 I'm here for the people, and you bet I'm earning votes regardless of party. If you like what you heard me say tonight, act on it when you vote next year.

Me taunting Representative Lisa McClain on Facebook in a post where she says how proud she is to receive Trumps endorsement. My response is as follows: Oooooooo someone's a bit nervous about their midterm re-election this early 🤣 A post from Trump on Truth Social giving his endorsement to Lisa McClain in true Trump fashion, with all caps sentences and lots of boasting. McClain added this post to her social media post in addition to a picture of them together while bragging about the endorsement.

"I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!" - Larry the Cable Guy #Michigan #Politics
Representative Lisa McClain of MI-09 posted the following on her Facebook with a link to a Fox News article: I’m DISGUSTED and furious over the vile “MAGA = NAZI” and “86 47” sign promoted by Michigan Democrats. This isn’t political speech — it’s HATE. It’s DANGEROUS. And after real acts of political violence, it’s beyond irresponsible. Michigan Democrats must make clear that violence and hate have NO PLACE in our state. My response is as follows: Imma 86 your political career and take it for my own, how bout that? Your boss also posted some dumb AI video about how he would like to literally 💩 on our country. Grow up Lisa!

💭🙏 Thoughts and prayers aren't enough after another needless shooting. It's time for Congress to act, Representative Lisa McClain. Grow a spine, recognize this shouldn't be normalized, and take action to prevent more mass shootings.

Hey Lisa, for my birthday 🎂 today, you mind reading the constitution again from start to finish for me? Here, I'll start it off for you

WE THE PEOPLE ✊️😎
#ConstitutionDay #WeThePeople
Lisa McClain posting on X about Constitution Day, which happens to be my birthday as well. The irony of her posting about this while ignoring her constituents back home here in MI-09 is speaks volumes about her morals as a congresswoman.

The "Who Would Win?" meme. The images are of Lisa McClain with the text "Rich out of touch politician", and of myself, Ray Pooley, Progressive Democrat candidate for Michigan's 9th Congressional District, with the text "One chicken daddy country boi". The choice seems obvious.

I'm grateful to have spoken with @indivisiblehv.bsky.social about my vision for a brighter future, where everyone has a voice and is treated with dignity. I understand the struggles of working hard to make ends meet, and believe that it's time for a leader who will champion the rights of the people.

Two tragedies back to back really speaks volumes for how much congress has failed us over the years. I wish Charlie Kirks family and the victims and families of those in at the Evergreen High School my dearest condolences—but just as important, I also offer action for prevention.
My post on X about the shootings of Charlie Kirk and those at Evergreen High School in Colorado. It reads as follows: 💭🙏 Thoughts and prayers are a moral failure when followed by legislative cowardice What happened today with the Evergreen school in Colorado and Charlie Kirk was tragic. This isn't normal! The role of our president and congress isn't to offer condolences, it's to pass laws to prevent these tragedies from continuing. The ONLY reason we continue having these shootings is because we are allowing it to happen— Because we have a bunch of representatives who continue doing nothing to address it. Thoughts and prayers for the Minneapolis Catholic School, for Uvalde, for Oxford... How about some damn action? You have a 1st Amendment right and should be able to use it without becoming a target. Our kids deserve better than empty thoughts and prayers that don't solve anything. Our politicians have offered us nothing as things get worse. This isn't complicated, it's a choice. As a gun owner, I know we can respect the 2nd Amendment and have: ✅ Red flag laws ✅ Universal background checks ✅ Real investment in mental health The time for excuses is over. The time for action is now!

A war crime is a war crime. It meets the definition of a war crime.

This couch fuckers ok with war crimes apparently. Party of "law and order" and "pro life" my 🍑
A screenshot from X involving Vice President JD Vance advocating for war crimes against another countries civilians, Brian Krassenstein calling him out for what it is, and Vance doubling down on his moral and political failure. It reads as follows. Vance: Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military. Krassenstein: Killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime. Vance: I don’t give a shit what you call it

Dang nearly 100 followers already? 👀

Thats crazy! Anyway have this very simple explanation about how #Trump is killing manufacturing, and jobs in general, due to his #tariffs and make sure you follow me for more political shenanigans 😎
An image of my X account response to a post about how manufacturing jobs are going down under President Trump. It reads: Hi 👋 I'm manufacturer ⚙️ and I can explain in simple terms. Boss gets call from customer for 10 parts. Says he'll call back with quote. Boss calls metal plate company. 10 parts worth of material USED to cost 20k, but now costs 25k because tariffs—and no, we in 🇺🇸 don't have the infrastructure to just ramp up our own production so we HAVE to import a good portion of it (roughly 25% of steel and almost 100% of rare earths as examples), meaning we pay more to our government to bring in materials for our jobs (kindof like a tax, a Trump tariff tax). Boss HAS to quote higher now, and customer sits on it because they have to come up with more money before we can start anything. Less work flow = less work = less people needed = layoffs because we artificially said we MUST pay more for the same things. It doesn't make jobs it just hurts us for no reason.
