#Michigan #Republicans are planning to shut down the state government - and have been since the term started. They're not even trying to prevent it! #MiLeg #Shutdown #GovernmentShutdown #HouseRepublicans

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

#Republicans want to come in like a #WreckingBall to our healthcare - only 8️⃣ days until they shut our state (and federal??) government down, harming healthcare workers and patients #MiLeg #Michigan #Medicaid #Healthcare

Our schools have made it clear: we need a budget that funds critical services like school meals and rural transportation for kids NOW. It’s time for Republicans to stop playing games and stay to negotiate a full state budget. #MichEd #MiLeg #ForOurKids #FundOurSchools

Shanah Tovah! Wishing all who celebrate a sweet, healthy and joyful New Year. 🍎 🍯

“Federal regulators can fine hospitals hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars if too many of their patients get hospital-acquired infections. Some hospital leaders, realizing that if they don’t look for infections, they won’t find them, are discouraging testing, clinicians told STAT”

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

BREAKING NEWS over in Inside Medicine: Censorship at the CDC. Again. Two dozen websites were removed, including resources for health equity, disability, and LGBTQ+ care. Here’s what we know:

A lack of faith in the soundness of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new direction has led states to explore enacting their own vaccine policies. A patchwork of divergent recommendations and requirements could result. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

🧵Indivisible Memphis Condemns National Guard Deployment in Memphis Today, Indivisible Memphis unequivocally condemns the deployment of the National Guard to our city. This action is not about safety - it is a targeted attack on Memphis’ majority-minority community.

We still want the Epstein files btw

#MedicareForAll #M4A #HealthcareForAll #MiCare #BernieSanders I met Sen. Sanders for the first time two years ago today 🤩 #UAW #StandUpStrike #Solidarity #SolidarityForever #MiLeg #Michigan #UnionStrong #UnionsForAll @sanders.senate.gov

“US navy has launched a 2nd military strike on a suspected Venezuelan drug boat, killing 3.” Asked for proof, Trump said: “All you have to do is look... big bags of cocaine & fentanyl all over.”🤔 In international waters. Judge, jury, executioner. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

#Michigan K-12 funding is still not finalized and schools run out of money Oct 1. Superintendents told us that at-risk funding is most important to their districts and it was one protected fund that was cut by #MichiganRepublicans (I voted no)... 1/2

Thank you to U-M Students for a National Health Program for hosting such a wonderful conference today! I loved talking about #MiCare, #Michigan's state-level #HealthcareForAll bill (HB 4407) 💖 #UniversalHealthcare #M4A #MedicareForAll

This Guardian quote from an anonymous person who said he knew Robinson in high school years ago, but hasn’t spoke to him in several years, who said he was supposedly a leftist, has been retracted. This single anonymous quote has been posted by thousands of right-wing accounts.

Trump: “We’re going to Memphis. I’m just announcing that now.” Earhardt: “National Guard?” Trump:” National Guard and anybody else we need. And by the way, we’ll bring in the military too if we need it.”

9/11 is a solemn reminder of bravery, sacrifice and unity. We honor the first responders who answered the call then—and the local first responders who continue that mission of service in our community today. #unity #NineEleven

“A new peer-reviewed study examined the impact Indigenous territories have on human health in two categories of diseases, finding that municipalities located close to Indigenous lands with intact forests have a reduced risk.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said “everybody can get” a covid vaccine. The statement contains an element of truth, but it ignores critical facts about the barriers people could face accessing and paying for it. @politifact.bsky.social + KFF Health News rate it Mostly False. Here's why: bit.ly/4mg4rnv

It was only last month that a guy mad about covid vaccines fired 500 rounds into the CDC building in Atlanta, btw

In #Michigan, I was proud to co-sponsor Rep. Coffia's bill in the state house to ban masks on federal agents #JusticeNeedsNoMask #DefendMIFreedoms #UnmaskICE

Whoa. www.ft.com/content/9af0...

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

“We’re not doing polio shots anymore. But you do have iron lung coverage.” This seems to be RFKJ’s vision for public health in the United States. Cartoon by @dennisgoris.bsky.social

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states. This is completely unhinged.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

RFK: "It's the biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural healthcare in American history." Sen. Bernie Sanders: "You know why? Because you're cutting $150 billion for rural hospitals and putting $50 billion back. That's not an infusion — that's a loss of $100 billion."

#MichiganRepublicans are obsessed with where kids go to the bathroom, but not where they'll get their next meal #MiLeg

🇺🇸 We must go on offense against the federal overreaches from DC. It's time to #DefendMiFreedoms of #DueProcess and #HabeasCorpus - our Constitutional freedoms of liberty from being arrested or jailed with no reason given, indefinitely. The Constitution applies to everyone alive on US soil

#Solidarity with the #Nurses at #HenryFordGenesys who are #OnStrike due to #UnfairLaborPractices - too many patients per nurse - which is unsafe for patients and for nurses 😔 We need to pass the #SafePatientCareAct!

#DefendMIFreedoms of #DueProcess and #HabeasCorpus - every person alive in the #USA and #Michigan has these Constitutional protections of our #freedoms and we must defend them! 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

See you soon!

1/ The FDA just changed the Covid vaccine access to 65+ and immunocompromised. I'm getting a lot of questions, so I’m going to do my best to answer them with the information that is currently available. Here are a few of your top questions answered 👇
