One year ago, our community lost a five-year-old boy when a hyperbaric chamber exploded while he was receiving treatment inside it. While the owner and manager of the treatment center face criminal charges, there is nothing we can say or do to bring him back. My thoughts are with his family today.

Today is the Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution, which commemorates Fred Korematsu’s life of advocating for all Americans’ civil rights. #mileg #resist #FredKorematsuDay

ICE has created a nationwide crisis using dangerous and unconstitutional tactics, to the point of killing American citizens. We owe it to the people of Michigan to protect them from this violent and out-of-control agency. I'm a proud co-sponsor of these bills to reign them in. #mileg #resist

My first Community Conversation of 2026 is in two weeks at the Troy Community Center. I hope to see you there! #mileg

I was so inspired by the students, parents, and teachers who participated in today's MLK Jr. Day of Service events at Troy Athens High School and Clawson High School. Today we truly lived up to Dr. King's immortal words: "The time is always right to do what is right". #MLKDay2026 #mileg

Dr. King stood up for justice and worked endlessly to create the change he wished to see in the world. Today, we honor his vision and renew our commitment to creating lasting change. #MLKDay

My statement on yesterday's killing of Renee Good. Trump's ICE force is reckless, poorly trained, unprofessional, and focused on terrorizing the president's political enemies. They are making Americans less safe, and the officer who shot Ms Good must be fired immediately. #mileg

Today's ruling confirms what we already knew: House Republicans' attempted theft from new mothers, sexual assault survivors, and other vulnerable Michiganders was not only unethica,l but unconstitutional. Thanks to the AG's swift action, the funds will be restored. #mileg

Last night's illegal invasion of Venezuela was just our weak President's latest attempt to distract from his many crimes and domestic policy failures. There is no sane justification for this, US Congress did not approve this, and the American people did not ask for this. #NoWarInVenezuela #resist

Wishing a Merry Christmas to all who celebrate in our community! May your days be merry and bright 🎅⛄

Like all demagogues, Trump seeks to divide Americans against each other by race, religion, and national origin. And like all nations that have gone down the dark path, we would be worse off if he succeeds.

Thank you, Michigan Senate Democrats, for standing up for young moms, kids with cancer, abuse survivors, and local infrastructure. Thank you for saying no to cruelty and heartlessness. This is what REAL leadership looks like. #mileg #resist

Merry Christmas from MAGA Matt Hall! #mileg #mipolitics #resist

MI House Republicans just ripped funding away from the Troy Historic Village. This is a slap in the face to our community and our history. They must reinstate the funding and apologize now! #mileg #resist

House Republicans unilaterally slashed funding for a program that provides therapy to children who've been sexually assaulted. That program wasn't "waste, fraud, and abuse". Their actions are the abuse. #mileg michiganadvance.com/2025/12/12/t...

BREAKING: Michigan's mini-Trump takes from kids with cancer, two weeks before Christmas. #mileg #resist

Just 2 weeks before Christmas, Matt Hall and House Republicans ripped away funding for moms, infants, and KIDS WITH CANCER. And in line with their usual hypocrisy, this move was one of the least transparent maneuvers in state history. #mileg

With the risk of icy roads and extremely low temperatures, the Michigan State Police encourage Michiganders to make a plan for winter weather emergency preparedness. To learn more about how to prepare, check out the MIREADY Winter Weather Preparedness page at michigan.gov/miready #mileg

My final Community Conversation of the year will be next Monday, December 15th in Clawson. I'm excited to take your questions and give a review of the 2025 legislative year. I hope to see you there! #mileg www.facebook.com/share/1G6pzX...

Had a great time earlier this week at Clawson's annual Christmas tree lighting! It's always so heartwarming to see our community getting into the holiday spirit together 🎅🎄

MAGA Republican tariffs mean fewer gifts for Michigan's kids. Merry Christmas, I guess? www.detroitnews.com/story/busine...

Thanks to President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill", eligibility for the SNAP food assistance program is being restricted starting today. If you're on the Food Assistance Program in Michigan, this could affect you. Visit MDHHS's website to learn more: www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/assist...

There’s a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Higher prices from MAGA incompetence aren’t on the list! #mileg

It was my honor to present a tribute to the Michigan Cricket Association USA, signed by Governor Whitmer and Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, congratulating them on their 25th anniversary! #mileg

This week I introduced a resolution declaring November as Adoption Month. People sometimes tell my husband and I that we're special because we adopted, but I disagree. The truth is that our daughters adopted us. They gave us the family we longed for and the life and love we cherish #mileg

Happening tomorrow! #mileg

Unsurprisingly, the Republican-controlled House refused to adopt my resolution defending Michigan's naturalized citizens. After all, Speaker Hall defended a member of his caucus who claimed that Michiganders of non-European descend cannot be loyal to the US. #mileg #resist

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

Today, we honor our veterans and their families who sacrificed for our country. Thank you to all who served. #VeteransDay

Today, we honor our veterans and their families who sacrificed for our country. Thank you to all who served. #VeteransDay

Trump and Republicans in Congress are using healthcare and hungry families as hostages during their government shutdown. Stop the political games, obey the courts, and fund SNAP now!! #mileg #resist #trumpshutdown

Michigan is home to 375,000 naturalized citizens - people who work hard, pay taxes, and love America so much they they left their country of origin to make it their home. I won't stand idly by while Trump persecutes and demonizes them. #mileg #resist www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

My next community conversation will be on Saturday, November 15th at the Royal Oak Senior Community Center. I hope to see you there! RSVP here! www.facebook.com/share/1FCqqq...

Thanks to pressure from Democratic governors, Trump has agreed to obey the law and fund SNAP throughout his shutdown. But he's only agreed to fund it at half its normal level, because he wants as many Americans as possible to starve while he builds his ballroom. #trumpshutdown #mileg

Washington Republicans are stopping SNAP benefits (aka the Food Assistance Program in Michigan) starting November 1. If you need help, call 211 or visit one of these sites to find a food bank in your area: mi211.org forgottenharvest.org/find-food/ feedingamerica.org/need-help-fi... #resist #savesnap

Trump's pause of SNAP payments takes effect on Saturday, Nov 1st. If your benefits will be impacted, call 2-1-1 or go to their website to find the nearest food banks to you: mi211.org #mileg

I am deeply saddened to learn that Jeanne Stine, Troy's beloved former mayor, passed away yesterday. Mayor Stine served her community for decades and made history as the first woman to be elected Mayor of Troy.

Republicans in Washington are taking advantage of the government shutdown - which they started - to take food off the tables of 1.3 MILLION Michiganders. #mileg

The great @staterepsteph.bsky.social and I agree on 99% of things, but here's where we disagree: U of M is winning tomorrow night!! #GoBlue

Happening tomorrow. I hope to see you there! #mileg www.facebook.com/share/1QXbzu...

The Michigan House's U of M alumni showed some school spirit before Saturday's game. So did the other school's alumni, but WE know we're the Leaders and Best. #GOBLUE!! 💙💛

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

Women with disabilities earn just 56 cents for every dollar earned by non-disabled men. On this Disabled Women's Equal Pay Day, let's commit to closing the wage gap and removing barriers to success. If I've learned anything as Chair of the Disability Caucus, it's that systems need to change. #mileg

Wishing a happy Diwali to all who celebrate! May your homes be filled with light, laughter and love🌟🪔 #mileg

Tomorrow millions of patriots who love their country and their Constitution will rally for one simple principle: that we, the people rule. #NoKings #NoKingsInAmerica

My next community conversation will be on Saturday, 10/25 at the Troy Public Library. Stick around afterwards for a tour led by library staff. The TPL is truly a crown jewel of our community! #mileg www.facebook.com/events/41682...

I stand in solidarity with SEIU healthcare workers at the Optalis nursing home in Bloomfield Township as they negotiate for fair wages. Optalis' owners must bargain in good faith and treat their workers with the respect they deserve. #mileg

Last week I went on the Wayne RESA Roundtable podcast to discuss my guardianship reform legislation. Listen to learn about how this legislation would help people with developmental disabilities. Thank you to Beth Santer of Wayne County RESA for hosting me! #mileg open.spotify.com/episode/2r8p...

In this year's budget, I am proud to have secured an over $10 million funding increase for school districts in my community. #mileg
