Members of YDM spent the last few days learning, growing, and discussing how to lift up our communities — it’s safe to say Michigan was well represented at #YDAPhilly!

Thank you Governor Whitmer for your support of our state’s delegation and everyone attending #YDAPhilly!

Congratulations Joshua on your election this week at #YDAPhilly!

Today was a session day BUT Michigan Republicans didn’t show up to work. There were no votes in the State House and no budget negotiations happening. Wya, MAGA? #mipol

Young Democrats of Michigan strongly condemns the attempted firebombing of the Dickinson County Republican Committee office in Iron Mountain. We are grateful no one was harmed in this incident. Political violence, regardless of its source or motivation, has no place in our democracy.

Michigan House Republicans are skipping work AGAIN and leaving all of us wondering when a budget will be passed..

Has anyone seen Speaker Hall? It’s been pretty quiet in Lansing since the July 1st deadline to pass a state budget was missed. The delay affects local governments, schools, and other entities that rely on state funding to plan their budgets. Stop the games, Matt!

🚨 If the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” passes, 453,101 Michiganders will lose their healthcare. We have to stop this bill. Call Congress at (202) 224-3121.

#Juneteenth is not just a holiday. It’s a celebration of resilience. A call to remembrance. And a reminder that the fight for justice continues.

YDM stands with our friends in Minnesota and all affected by the horrific, politically motivated assassinations of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. We also send our support to State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, as they recover from their injuries.

The attack on Senator Alex Padilla by federal agents is a chilling escalation in Donald Trump’s abuse of power — a direct assault on our democracy and free speech.

Members of our Board had a great time at the @michigandems.bsky.social Legacy Dinner last night! We joined in celebrating the Young Dem of the Year—congrats to MSU Dems on the well-deserved honor! We also had the privilege of hearing from keynote speaker, Illinois Gov @jbpritzker.bsky.social.

Minnesota!!! Members of our Executive Board were in Minneapolis this weekend for the @youngdems.bsky.social Spring Meeting. We met with fellow organizers, exchanged ideas, and laid the foundation for Democratic victories in 2026. #YDAMSP

Statement on First Amendment Rights, Peaceful Protest & Mahmoud Khalil

Donald Trump came to Macomb County — and YDM was there with hundreds of others to send a message: hate isn’t welcome here, and neither is he.

Recently, the Center for American Progress released a list of budget cuts made by the Trump administration and DOGE by congressional district. These aren’t just line items in a budget, they’re lifelines for Michiganders, and we won’t stand by while they’re being torn apart.

We are thrilled to hear the news @peters.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov have pledged to oppose the SAVE Act. Call their offices to thank them for protecting our right to vote! Peters: 202-224-6221 Slotkin: 202-224-4822

Happy 420! Earlier this month, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the smell of marijuana alone is no longer sufficient probable cause for police to search a vehicle in light of the legalization of recreational marijuana here in 2018.

Happy birthday, @dananessel.bsky.social!

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 Republicans in Washington DC have put forward a dangerous bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. Call @peters.senate.gov + @slotkin.senate.gov to urge a NO vote on the SAVE Act because we shouldn’t be making it harder to vote.

Our Chair @austinmarsmanmi.bsky.social is up in Sault Ste Marie this weekend presenting at the @michigandems.bsky.social Rural Summit — Young Democrats are organizing in ALL corners of our great state!!

The best part of John James running for Governor is knowing a Young Democrat will replace him in Congress. #MI10

The stock market is crashing because Republicans continue to treat the economy like a game.

Throughout Michigan, thousands rallied for the nationwide #HandsOff protest this weekend, and the Young Democrats of Michigan proudly showed up to support!

Off to The Yoop! 🚙 I can’t wait to join the @michigandems.bsky.social Rural Summit in just a couple weeks where I’ll be hosting a session all about the ✨ youth vote ✨. We’ll dive into organizing, building power, and making sure everyone’s voice counts — regardless of where they live.

On Tuesday, @corybooker.com wrapped up an incredible, historic and record breaking speech on the Senate floor to hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable. This is what momentum looks like and we are just getting started. Will you join us?

We’re excited to be joining young people from across the country tonight to rally behind @joshweil.bsky.social, who is running for Congress in the #FL06 special election. See you soon, Florida! www.mobilize.us/joshweilforc...

Bill Huizenga has failed Michigan. He’s refused to stand up to Trump and Musk as our democracy is under threat. He’s turned his back on protecting the Great Lakes and our environment. We won’t stand by while he ignores his constituents. #mipol www.mlive.com/news/kalamaz...

Same guy who said he supports Trump "2000%” #MIGOV 🤔

👋 Welcome to Michigan, JD!

📻 This week, YDM Chair @austinmarsmanmi.bsky.social went on the @leftoflansing.bsky.social podcast to talk about the road ahead and how young people can meet this moment. Listen in wherever you get your podcasts!

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 Republicans in Washington DC have put forward a budget bill that gives Elon Musk and President Trump a blank check and cuts vital programs our families rely on. Call @peters.senate.gov + @slotkin.senate.gov to urge a NO vote on this destructive and dangerous CR.

Bernie Sanders’ visit to Warren this weekend had over 10,000 attendees. We’re seeing the energy and passion against this administration. The ultra-rich shouldn’t be able to buy our futures. We’re fired up to keep fighting for a government of, by, and for the people... not the powerful.

Roses are red, violets are blue. Bill, you have a job to do. And we will keep calling you. 😘

YOUNG DEMOCRATS OF MICHIGAN ON TRUMP’S JOINT ADDRESS TO CONGRESS LANSING, MI – From the moment Donald Trump took the stage it was clear: his vision for this country is out of touch with the needs of everyday Americans.

Ready to save democracy with us? Senator @elissaslotkin.bsky.social has the playbook: 1️⃣ Don’t tune out 2️⃣ Hold elected officials accountable 3️⃣ Organize and engage

Lower costs, more jobs, and better results. When we #ThinkMichigan, we think opportunity. #MISOTS25

Buying a house is hard. As young folks, we know what that’s like. @gretchenwhitmer.bsky.social sees us, and we’re ready to build baby build! #MISOTS25

“My fellow Michiganders, the state of our state is strong, and it is on all of us to make it stronger…and kinder too.” #MISOTS25
