Today I am calling on the US Department of Justice to end their targeting and demonization of peaceful naturalized citizens. Naturalized citizens are NOT second-class citizens, and I will not stand idly by while the Trump administration tries to take away their rights. #mileg #resist

Thanks to DC Republicans, we’re now in the longest government shutdown in US history. To make matters worse, it’s open enrollment for health care and many are seeing their premiums skyrocket. Are #MiLeg Republicans focused on ending the pain? Of course not. 🧵

The Trump regime's decision to halt SNAP benefits will mean thousands of children and seniors across Michigan going hungry. I am outraged for them. And what makes this situation all the more outrageous is that it was completely preventable. (1/3) #mileg

Around 2am, we passed a 1-week spending bill & the Governor should sign it shortly, keeping #Michigan open to serve you until Oct 8, by which time we should have a full FY26 budget. The flags are still raised over the Senate and House while we're at recess for a few hours #MiLeg
