Some great Black Friday deals out there! But those that seem too good to be true? They probably are. Learn more about Black Friday scams and tricks—and how I’ll fight to stop them as your next AG.

AG Nessel is entirely correct about the stakes here. As a result of a recent Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions, Michigan *must* participate in lawsuits that harm the people of this state—or risk being left out of any relief ordered by a court.

As I’ve written, it was always unlikely that SCOTUS would reconsider marriage equality in this particular case. But make no mistake: there remains a real appetite to erode LGBTQ equality. And—even with today’s welcome news—we must vigilantly fight back. elisavit.substack.com/p/equality-i...

Many of our residents and clients rely on SNAP to afford food - just like millions of Americans. We are thankful that our Washtenaw County Prosecutor is fighting for us all. Thanks, @esavit.bsky.social!

BREAKING: The Trump Administration has filed an “emergency” appeal of a court order requiring it to pay SNAP benefits. And just now, we’ve joined over 80 local governments & officials in filing a brief urging the continuation of those benefits. /1

Forced to read a script written by Gen-Z interns…I think I did okay?

Voter #11 at my precinct this morning (I voted YES on our local school millage for career and technical education). If you’ve got local elections today, get out and vote!

Friends, we have a fundraising deadline TOMORROW. Because I don’t take corporate PAC checks, it means I’m spending basically every moment—even in the car—calling human beings to ask them to chip into our campaign. If you can help out, link is in comments below 👇🏻.

No Kings in America! See you out there.

Please consider chipping into an AG fund that’s *not* my campaign’s. NY AG Letitia James has been indicted. Other AGs who challenge Trump may face similar fates. This legal defense fund protects AGs & their staff who are targeted for doing their jobs.👇🏻 secure.actblue.com/donate/dagal...

This morning, I was honored to receive the Frank Kelley Consumer Advocacy Award from the Michigan Bar's Consumer Law Section. Named for Frank Kelley (who served 10 terms as Michigan AG) the award's presented annually in recognition of outstanding efforts to protect consumers. /1

Ball don’t lie! I’ve never taken a dime in corporate PAC contributions—and I won’t.

Today is #ConstitutionDay, so I took a bit of time to reflect on my favorite constitutional provision (yes, I have one), the values it reflects—and the path ahead for our republic. elisavit.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

I’m so honored to have the support of 100+ elected and community leaders from across Michigan. /1

Today, SCOTUS allowed the government to seize those who look Latino, speak Spanish/accented English, & work a (legal!) low-wage job. More litigation ahead. But this decision—& what it allows—is repulsive to our Constitution & freedom. It'll be remembered as such for generations.

We’re facing unprecedented threats to due process & civil liberties at the federal level. And so it was my honor to join Rep. Carrie Rheingans, Sheriff Alyshia Dyer, & advocates and legislators from across Michigan to introduce the #DefendMIFreedoms package of bills in the Legislature. (1/2)

Proud to stand with striking Teamsters 332 nurses at Henry Ford Genesys today. And it bears emphasis (on Labor Day!) they’re striking for us all. They’re fighting not just for fair working conditions, but for safe nurse-to-patient ratios—so those needing medical treatment can get care they deserve.

Happy Labor Day! There’s never been a more important time to stand with working families—or the unions fighting for economic justice for us all. Proud to walk with AFT Michigan in today’s Detroit Labor Day parade, and to stand with labor today and every day.

The University of Michigan’s decision—under federal threats—to cease providing gender-affirming care to young people is bone-chilling. Gender-affirming care’s legal in Michigan, & federally. Yet Trump’s executive order & sham “investigations” cowed a major provider into not offering that care. /1

Was great to join @leahlitman.bsky.social on the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social podcast this week! Give it a listen…to hear us talk marriage equality, BUT ALSO to catch up on the latest SCOTUS insanity, and to (improbably) hear me talk about Doja Cat.

MICHIGAN PEEPS: I'm co-hosting a fundraiser for Eli Savit (who's running for Attorney General of MI) on *September 6th* at 4:30 PM at Casa Dominick's. Come join us! Link is here: secure.actblue.com/donate/savit...

Right now, the government’s holding hearings on a Trump proposal that could eliminate climate regulation in the US. State AGs can—& must—fight back. I will. I’ll fight to stop Trump’s EPA from toppling the first domino to end climate action. And I’ll fight at every step to protect our future.

And (hopefully!) the next AG of Michigan!! www.eliformichigan.com

With same-sex marriage back before SCOTUS, I have an op-ed in Pride Source on protecting marriage equality in Michigan. Our next AG must fight for marriage equality—and I will. And we must amend our Michigan constitution to protect against future SCOTUS decisions. pridesource.com/article/eli-...

Is your rent too damn high? It might not be “just the market”—it could be collusion. As Attorney General, I can’t bring housing prices down by myself. What I can do—and I will—is make sure that nobody’s unlawfully jacking up rents higher than they should be.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten….Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” -George Orwell, 1984

Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to jack prices up based on who people are—or what they’re going through. Yet companies are shifting to AI price models that could do just that. Not on my watch. As AG, I’ll use every legal tool to ensure the price remains the price, for everyone.

Wage theft is the single biggest source of theft in the United States. Thanks to For The Sake of the Argument for having me on their podcast this week to talk about it!

In case folks were concerned, a generous friend Venmo-ed me $$ so I could keep purchasing Diet Mountain Dew. So that’s taken care of! If you were debating between subsidizing my Yellow 5 consumption or contributing to our AG campaign—the latter! Midnight deadline: secure.actblue.com/donate/7_17_...

When I say I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money, I mean it. Not now, not ever.  That means a lot of time on the phones—having conversations & raising funds from REAL people. The fundraising deadline is tomorrow, so please consider contributing today! secure.actblue.com/donate/7_17_...

The federal government's eviscerating civil rights, reproductive freedom, & environmental protections. But state AGs can hold the line when Washington won't. Our fundraising deadline's just around the corner. Pitch in today—for our rights, & for our future. secure.actblue.com/donate/7_17_...

Important: I’m not taking a dime in corporate PAC money in my campaign for Michigan Attorney General. State AGs are supposed to stand up to powerful interests when they violate the law. But across the nation, we’ve seen corporate campaign cash distort that calculus. Watch for more.

Before the courtroom, I was in the classroom. I was a public-school teacher—teaching 8th grade general-ed & special-ed classes. I believed then (as now) that the right to education is fundamental. As AG, I’ll fight for that right, and for every child’s opportunity to thrive.

Solidarity with nurses & staff at OPEIU Local 40, who are striking for safe staffing levels at McLaren Macomb. Proud to join them on the picket line—because they’re fighting for us, too. Inadequate staffing levels, after all, compromise patient health. And all of us, at some point, will get sick.

As a result of Congress's actions today, countless people will die. In the wealthiest nation in history, kids will go hungry. People will die of preventable ailments because they can't see a doctor. All so that the rich can get just a bit more. A betrayal of the people.

The bill that just passed the Senate is one of the cruelest pieces of legislation in recent memory. To finance tax cuts for the wealthiest, it strips vulnerable kids & families of health & nutrition benefits. But I want to highlight another point: it's bad for public safety. /1

A thread on the birthright citizenship decision, what it means, and (yes) the importance of state AGs in this new legal landscape. 🧵/1

Alongside 63 cities, counties, and government leaders, we’ve filed a brief in federal court challenging the Trump Administration’s arbitrary cuts to National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding. /1

Tune into this!!

I’m proud to be endorsed by Mike Steinberg, the long-time former legal director of the Michigan ACLU. /1

NEWS: We have obtained a court order to protect the residents at Arbor One Apartments—a 474-unit complex in Ypsilanti that has been violating health and safety laws since at least the fall of 2024. Full details in the attached. /1

Wonderful visiting with the Novi Democrats earlier this week—and engaging in a far-ranging conversation encompassing (among other things) consumer protection, gun violence, and the Trump Administration’s unlawful federal funding cuts. Standing together, we’ll meet these challenges head-on.

THAT'S MY FUTURE MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL! www.eliformichigan.com

Joined SEIU Health Care nursing home workers on the picket line yesterday in Detroit. They’re fighting for fair pay, adequate staffing levels, healthcare benefits, and earned time off. One worker came to the picket line following six straight double (16-hour) shifts! They deserve fairness. Period

I’m honored to be endorsed by Lavora Barnes, the most recent former Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party. Under her trailblazing leadership, the Democratic Party won its first trifecta in decades. Took a majority on our Supreme Court—then expanded on that majority. Join us: eliformichigan.com

My friend - & law school classmate! - Eli Savit (currently Washtenaw County prosecutor) announced his campaign for Michigan Attorney General, and I could NOT be more excited! Eli is a smart, principled leader - and I am SO excited about what this means for MI! secure.actblue.com/donate/elifo...

The response to our launch has been overwhelming—I’m so grateful. I’m proud to enter the race for Michigan Attorney General with the endorsement of 18 current & former Michigan state legislators, including 15 who are currently serving. Let’s keep the momentum going! www.eliformichigan.com

I’m running for Michigan Attorney General. Our rights are under attack. As AG, my job will be to stand between Michiganders & those who seek to harm us. Whether it’s corporate pollutes, shady businesses ripping off workers, or Donald Trump himself—I’m ready to fight back. /1 www.eliformichigan.com

Now more than ever, glad to support the University of Michigan College Dems—and take a turn at the griddle—at their 16th annual Pancake Brunch. Thank you to the College Dems for all they do to fight for a better future.
