Today in #mileg - we were given approximately 20 minutes to review a budget bill that cuts school funding in Michigan by $5.1B. To the kids in the gallery today, I am profoundly sorry you watched the House GOP vote to defund your school.

I admit I am biased. But this is a Joint Session of Congress, not a campaign speech. Removing a sitting member of Congress for rightfully calling this out is utter bullshit. 1/

Oh look. Our country’s executive is ignoring scientific research, putting a corporate timber lobbyist in charge, & destroying the environment. What a shocker. Enjoy your wildfires and polluted water!

The number of people telling other hard working federal employees that those fired should be glad because of how much money taxpayers will save astounds me.

The lack of empathy and compassion for families that suddenly find themselves without a paycheck and healthcare hits hard. 🧵1/3

The “Happy Camper” expression is a timeless look. Persistent throughout the ages, it’s most commonly found on the faces of annoyed teens wishing they were anywhere else. Like “Mooooooomm, I literally I think I might collapse under the weight of my own angst.” Or so she was thinking. Probably.

"Over 200,000 students with special needs could lose access to $533 million in federal funding that helps pay for their education." Thank you @kellybreenmi.bsky.social for joining us to make the danger of a Trump-McMahon agenda clear. Our kids and our communities can't afford this radical plan!

Enjoy your Snow Days, Novi kids!!!

My husband was right. It’s warmer in Alaska than it is in Novi. I hate it when he’s right.

Shout out to our MI Senate Democrats for staying up all night to pass bills that will help Michiganders. They deserve capes. And gift baskets full of donuts and coffee and booze and puppies. I’m so grateful they passed our bipartisan school safety package! Thank you! #mileg @senpolehanki.bsky.social

Michigan fans are going to be absolutely impossible for the foreseeable future.

Have fun at work today, England! (And Happy Thanksgiving to all!)

Weird how this year the “Tin Foil Hat Flat Earth Brigade” is strangely silent on election fraud.

Mood.

Just waiting for this guy to get nominated to head up the National Institutes of Health.

I’ve been on Bluesky a whole half day & not once has a random guy wished me harm, called me names, or threatened to take away my right to vote. This is really refreshing.
