This White Shirt Day, we remember the brave union workers who organized to give us the 8-hour workday, the 40-hour workweek, overtime pay, and a ton more. We owe a debt of gratitude to Michigan's hardworking union members, past and present. #whiteshirtday #unionstrong

On Tuesday, February 24 I will be hosting a virtual know-your-rights training with @acluofmichigan.bsky.social. With Trump using ICE to punish us, it is more important than ever that we know our rights when interacting with immigration enforcement. Register here: bit.ly/4qsapnm #resist #meltice

One year ago, our community lost a five-year-old boy when a hyperbaric chamber exploded while he was receiving treatment inside it. While the owner and manager of the treatment center face criminal charges, there is nothing we can say or do to bring him back. My thoughts are with his family today.

ICE has created a nationwide crisis using dangerous and unconstitutional tactics, to the point of killing American citizens. We owe it to the people of Michigan to protect them from this violent and out-of-control agency. I'm a proud co-sponsor of these bills to reign them in. #mileg #resist

I was so inspired by the students, parents, and teachers who participated in today's MLK Jr. Day of Service events at Troy Athens High School and Clawson High School. Today we truly lived up to Dr. King's immortal words: "The time is always right to do what is right". #MLKDay2026 #mileg

Dr. King stood up for justice and worked endlessly to create the change he wished to see in the world. Today, we honor his vision and renew our commitment to creating lasting change. #MLKDay

My statement on yesterday's killing of Renee Good. Trump's ICE force is reckless, poorly trained, unprofessional, and focused on terrorizing the president's political enemies. They are making Americans less safe, and the officer who shot Ms Good must be fired immediately. #mileg

Today's ruling confirms what we already knew: House Republicans' attempted theft from new mothers, sexual assault survivors, and other vulnerable Michiganders was not only unethica,l but unconstitutional. Thanks to the AG's swift action, the funds will be restored. #mileg

Last night's illegal invasion of Venezuela was just our weak President's latest attempt to distract from his many crimes and domestic policy failures. There is no sane justification for this, US Congress did not approve this, and the American people did not ask for this. #NoWarInVenezuela #resist

Like all demagogues, Trump seeks to divide Americans against each other by race, religion, and national origin. And like all nations that have gone down the dark path, we would be worse off if he succeeds.
SCOOP: The Trump administration plans to ramp up efforts to strip some naturalized Americans of their citizenship, according to internal guidance obtained by The New York Times.

Thank you, Michigan Senate Democrats, for standing up for young moms, kids with cancer, abuse survivors, and local infrastructure. Thank you for saying no to cruelty and heartlessness. This is what REAL leadership looks like. #mileg #resist
Thanks to Senate Democrats for fighting back against House GOP attacks on these vital work projects. Republicans like Matt Hall and Jim Runestad should be ashamed of voting to rip away support from countless communities across Michigan—we won’t forget

House Republicans unilaterally slashed funding for a program that provides therapy to children who've been sexually assaulted. That program wasn't "waste, fraud, and abuse". Their actions are the abuse. #mileg

Just 2 weeks before Christmas, Matt Hall and House Republicans ripped away funding for moms, infants, and KIDS WITH CANCER. And in line with their usual hypocrisy, this move was one of the least transparent maneuvers in state history. #mileg

MAGA Republican tariffs mean fewer gifts for Michigan's kids. Merry Christmas, I guess?
