Michigan Attorney General. I love my kids, wife, cats, and country. But not Ohio State U.
It was great to be with Ionia and Montcalm County Democrats last night.
Thanks for the warm welcome!

The SNAP program feeds nearly 500,000 children in Michigan every month. Last week, I sued USDA to keep the program running.
By Friday, a federal judge ordered USDA to release the funds. As USDA finalizes their plan, Michigan leaders know what's at stake:

More than 1.4 million Michiganders risk losing food assistance because of the shutdown. It’s cruel and illegal to deny families food. I’ll keep standing up to the Trump Administration’s reckless disregard for people’s lives.

SNAP benefits will not be paid out effective this Saturday, leaving 42 million Americans to wonder how they’re going to put food on the table next week.

When Trump and his allies say “there’s a plan” for a third term, we can’t ignore them.
This is serious, and it’s on all of us to speak out against such a blatant violation of the Constitution.

On the latest episode of Pantsuits and Lawsuits, @krismayes.bsky.social and I sit down with former U.S. Attorney @barbmcquade.bsky.social to discuss the culture within the DOJ, leading under pressure, and how institutions can balance legal risk with their core values.

The spread of outrage and misinformation online can make communities seem more divided than they are.

$1.797 Billion *quantifiable* dollars recouped or preserved for Michigan programs.
That's money for schools, disaster relief, libraries, roads, cancer research and treatment, mental health and substance abuse programs, jobs and so much more.
