This week, I was proud to vote YES on legislation to create a Prescription Drug Affordability Board in Michigan - one important tool to bring down the costs of lifesaving medication! Thanks @darrincamilleri.bsky.social @sueshink.bsky.social @vklinefelt.bsky.social for your leadership!Onward. #MILeg

Truly the best of us here in Michigan. Thanks to Senators @sarahanthony.bsky.social and @darrincamilleri.bsky.social for their continued leadership.

"It is creating a level of uncertainty that is very scary for our families and our educators who just don't know what to expect coming out of Washington, DC." @darrincamilleri.bsky.social warns that school lunch programs that feed 860k Michigan kids are in danger

This anticipated executive order from President Trump to dismantle the Department of Education poses an existential threat to our public education system and our state finances. My statement ⬇️

The Governor’s focus on infrastructure and education are two things I’m most focused on coming out of tonight’s State of the State address. We’ve made great strides these last two years in those two areas — and I’m committed this year to doing even more for Downriver and Western Wayne County.

Coffee, flowers, bananas, and many other items are about to be at least 25% more expensive because of Trump.

To help kick off 2025, I’m continuing my tour across Michigan with more Purpose Driven Community Conversations to hear what issues matter most to Michiganders in 2025. This week, we stopped in Canton w/ Rep @ranjeevpuri.bsky.social and Downriver w/ Sen @darrincamilleri.bsky.social.

Democrats were elected to fix Michigan’s problems. We’ve solved many over the last two years, but there’s more work to do. Read my op-Ed in today’s @freep.com:

THE DETROIT LIONS ARE THE NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE PLAYOFFS! Go Lions!!! 🦁

Join me and @jocelynbenson.bsky.social next week in Brownstown for a Downriver Community Conversation

Happy New Year 🥳 Here’s to a 2025 filled with good things for you and your loved ones!

The Senate is here working through the night to finish the work of the people, including major priorities our colleagues have worked on for years.

Four years ago the Michigan House Oversight Committee and the attempt to undermine the results of the 2020 election was parodied on SNL. I feel like I’ve lived multiple lifetimes since this moment. And the parody never fully lived up to the real thing.

I want to be on the record to say that I don’t think it’s appropriate for the president to pardon his own family members or any political allies. It’s ridiculous that we’ve come to this point.

We’re hiring a District Director! Join our team in Lansing/Downriver and Western Wayne County senate.michigan.gov/media/ssyi2o...?

It’s Small Business Saturday! We have so many amazing small businesses in Downriver and Western Wayne County, and I wanted to highlight two of my favorites today: Chelsea Menswear in Wyandotte and Super Baked in Southgate! Check them out as well as your favorite small business today.

[email protected], @darrincamilleri.bsky.social and I recently introduced the Teach MI History bill package in the Michigan Senate! If passed, these bills would ensure that Michigan students learn the history of communities of color. #mileg 1/3 www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

We’ll take the win. Happy Thanksgiving!

Donald Trump just told us that he’s going to raise costs 25% on a huge amount of consumer goods. What a disaster for Americans’ pocketbooks.

Week 12 ✅ #OnePride

Why aren’t right wing organizations and legislators demanding that our legislative oversight committees do a forensic audit of the election? Because they only sow doubt in government and our elections when they lose.

I cannot understate how bad it will be with a former WWE Executive as Education Secretary. Students are no longer going to be the priority — if confirmed, her only goal will be a right wing agenda focused on destabilizing public schools.

Congrats to the thousands of nurses who work at Corewell Hospitals across our community – including nurses at the Trenton, Wayne, and Taylor campuses!
