Allegan and Grand Haven - I’m headed your way this Saturday! Our brewery tour stops are free and open to all. - Come out, support your local small business, and let’s get to know each other. Link to join us in the replies. Cheers! 🍻

From our family to yours, with Yom Kippur beginning tonight at sundown, we hope you have an easy and meaningful fast.

A little bipartisan GO TIGERS as we wait for the budget votes with Rep Phil Green.

If we want to be the party of the people, we need to be out there WITH the people. Full stop.

If we want to be the party of the people, we need to be out there WITH the people. Full stop.

You will never receive more unsolicited advice than when you are walking around in the world as a pregnant woman. The LAST thing we need is RFK Jr. and Donald Trump telling us to “tough it out.” Listen to your doctor, not political hacks.

Another shooting. This time in Grand Blanc Township. As we learn more, my heart breaks for the community and churchgoers.

Happy Sunday! I’m coming up soon on MSNBC with @velshi.com on @velshimsnbc.bsky.social. Tune in!

A new wave of rising Democrats is transforming what it means to fight back in Trump 2.0. One of them, MI Senate candidate and current @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social, joins @ 10a ET to discuss how Dems should meet the moment. #Velshi

Lived experience really matters. It might be hard to admit - but things have been broken since long before Trump came along. The status quo wasn’t working – and we need leaders who understand that we can’t just go back to the way things were.

Just take it from the men and women of labor – Matt Hall and House Republicans’ budget would be a disaster for Michigan families. We’re holding the line.

I know the anxiety of trying to do everything right for your baby. When you’re pregnant, you will be pummelled with ENDLESS tips, criticisms, thoughts, concerns… whether you ask for them or not.

Michigan House Republicans say their budget cuts down “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Are our kids “waste, fraud, and abuse?” Is supporting small business owners bringing jobs to the community, “waste, fraud, and abuse?”

L’Shana Tova! Wishing an extra sweet new year to every Michigander celebrating Rosh Hashanah.

Amber Alerts save lives. But in Michigan, too many vulnerable seniors go missing, and without a Silver Alerts system, we leave ourselves open to tragedy and heartbreak - pain that is entirely preventable with the right tools.

Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we’ve seen too many use his murder as an excuse to divide, to blame the so-called “radical left,” from the President of the United States to colleagues in my own legislature.

All politics is local. And we need our next Senator to be deeply rooted in what’s happening here. And our state has a pretty good history of doing just that. In our communities, schools, and churches – not mired in the DC chaos.

Why did we make affordability the center of this campaign? Simple: I listened.

Washington needs a little more “get shit done” attitude from Michigan.

Right now, there's a budget showdown in Washington. Democrats are in the minority. It's most likely that the next Democratic US Senator from Michigan will come into office in the minority. So what do we do? Exactly what we did here in the Michigan state Senate.

John James isn't showing up for his district. We know he won’t show up for Michigan. Mike Rogers is courting cash from Texas billionaires who want to defund our schools. And 10th District Democrats are mobilizing to make sure that next year, we defeat both.

A few weeks ago, I found myself deeply understanding why so many women just quit. But we don’t. Because they matter. Their future matters. So we stay in it. For them.

People ask all the time – if I’m not able to donate, how can I help your campaign? We have a LOT of ways you can at the link in the comments. If you have a skill you want to offer up – anything from photos to postcard design to coding – we'd love that. Let’s do good together.

Clement “Fame” Brown Jr. is doing something special at THREE THIRTEEN right here in Detroit.

Senator John Damoose and I came together across the aisle to pen a joint op-ed in the Detroit News. So... what brought us together? Let me explain 🧵 www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

Ann Arbor families are lucky to have @aidansova.bsky.social fighting for them. And I’m lucky to have him alongside me in this campaign. For our libraries, for our communities, and for attracting and keeping the best talent in our state - let’s go. 💪

Here’s to Al Bartell, Mad Hatter, and the Avenue of Fashion continuing to grow and thrive.

I believe the next leaders of our party have to be with the people who are doing the work today. At No Kings protests, Hands Off rallies, Indivisible meetings. Right here in our communities. You deserve a Senator who will join you.

Every year on 9/11, I recommend reading this piece about grief, love, and meaning. An ever-important message as we honor those we lost, and all those still searching for closure and peace. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

From Ingham to Kalamazoo to Grand Traverse, these are the County Commissioners shaping the future of their communities all over our state. Welcome to the team. 💪

So... Matt Hall and Donald Trump's Secretary of Education showed up at Renaissance High School in Detroit today. They’re on their “returning education to the states” tour. Just one problem - because of Hall and Republicans, our schools still don’t have a budget. (It was due July 1st)

Proud to have you on this team, @chokwepitchford.bsky.social Let’s do good work.

We don’t have to settle.

You deserve a break on Sundays that doesn’t break the bank.

Keeping our communities safe isn’t something that just happens overnight. What if we could de-escalate tension, build community, and stop crime before it starts? What if we were proactive instead of reactive? That’s where Community Violence Intervention (CVI) comes in.

MAJOR BREAKING: Noa has tried Superman ice cream for the first time.

How do you turn a contaminated industrial site into a vibrant, thriving natural ecosystem with public lake access, fishing, nature walks, trails, and education?

Devon said it best. THIS is what teamwork looks like.

When young people ask me why they should get involved – I tell the story of Grace.

A huge thank you to Mike Aaron of Laborers Local 1191 for hosting a perfect food truck Labor Day celebration for so many families to enjoy the holiday together, and for everything you do every day.

Even in the reddest areas of Michigan, people are organizing protests. In Hillsdale County, that looks like a few folks holding up signs outside of City Hall. When people see that they’re not alone – that matters. And the leaders of our party need to be right there with them.

We did the thing.

Today I learned that Western Wayne Indivisible has a mascot. Everyone, meet Moose.

Happy Labor Day, Michigan ✊

Labor Day - these are the men and women who build Michigan, teach our kids, take care of our loved ones, and who know that we’re more powerful together than we are alone. Whether or not you’re a part of organized labor, we all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have fought for all of us.

Right now in Michigan, we’re in the middle of a budget showdown.  The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General – and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.

This morning, I attended service at the Historic Little Rock Baptist Church in Detroit. I left inspired by Rev. Antoine T. Colvin's passion and message - we cannot be passive in the face of injustice - we may need to flip over some tables.

Every day, in hospitals and doctor’s offices and clinics and in homes, nurses are there for us. That’s why I’m so grateful for the endorsement of Nurses for America – and so determined to stand with them against attacks on our healthcare system, and to build one worthy of their strength and care.

This week, I met with apprentices at UA Local 174 Plumbers & Pipefitters in Coopersville. I wanted to hear from them - what they think about our politics, about government, about the state of our country.

In Michigan, we passed a red flag law, safe storage, universal background checks, and closed the domestic violence loophole. We CAN make change. But we won’t stop this epidemic of gun violence until we elect people at every level who view our kids and communities' safety as a priority.
