How many times do the Republicans have to show everyone that they hate families and kids before people start believing them? Rx Kids is spending money from future years to cover the funds Republicans just cancelled www.wmuk.org/wmuk-news/20...

Proud to see my representative doing this. This is what government should be doing - helping those of us that need help when we need it.
House Dems across MI are filling carts & working w/ food banks to ensure people can put a hot meal on the table.
📢CALL TO ACTION:
Check on neighbors, make sure people have the resources they need to get by, & contact local orgs & local food banks to help.

It'd be a great year for candidates to borrow #MaineRaising (donate to not-for-profits and shop at small businesses, leaving a note to look up your candidate of choice)
Arguably a better use of money than donating to campaigns giving the state of affairs.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Wonderful farm to table dinner put on by Carlson Farms to benefit Bronson Children’s Hospital. Great food by area chefs, raffles, music all for a great cause of helping children and their families at a point in their life where they’re needing a children’s hospital.

Pop-Up Protest on Monday 10/6 at 1:00 in front of Advia, 6400 West Main Street, Kalamazoo. Rep Huizenga has a meeting there, so signs should call out Huizenga for his hypocrisy, cuts to health care, and whatever else you want to say!

Nice to listen to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in Kalamazoo for a 2nd time (and a bigger audience this time) as he campaigns for Michigan’s senate seat that the retiring Gary Peters holds now.
Oh, and @sanders.senate.gov was there too :)

A native bumble bee species that was last seen in Michigan in 1999 was recently seen in Kalamazoo. The bee was dead, but hopefully the species is still living in the area.

We’ll see if it holds up on appeal, but great news for now!
AMAZING NEWS! A judge has ruled that the Everglades Interment Camp must halt operations. They cannot receive new immigrants (thank GOD), and must tear down fencing and other aspects within 60 days. Essentially making it inoperable.
