We're not sure what the budget deals we're hearing about will mean for us. One thing we do know is that we wouldn't be in this situation, with lawmakers scrambling to to avoid a government shutdown, if it weren't for Matt Hall's clownery and failure to pass a budget on time.

Too many people already struggle to get the healthcare they need. MAGA Matt Hall and House Republicans want to make it even more difficult.

Wishing a happy Rosh Hashannah to all who celebrate!

Michigan Republicans are driving us closer and closer to a state government shutdown—and our new polling indicates that most Michiganders still don't know about it! Our full statement: progressmichigan.org/2025/09/new-... #mileg

Our kids deserve better than a budget that would gut public school funding.

Happening tomorrow!!! 👀 https://actionnetwork.org/events/detroit-sun-day-fun-day/

House Republicans' budget would be a disaster for local communities across the state. We must demand better from our elected officials!

Climate change is affecting farmers' ability to grow a wide variety of crops—and everyone eats, so if it's affecting farmers, it's affecting all of us.

Michigan still doesn't have a state budget, thanks largely to House Republicans' failure to do their job—and now, GOP Rep. Jaime Greene has abandoned her duties to go cozy up to war criminals in Israel during an ongoing genocide. (Source: @mirsnews.bsky.social). #mileg

Just your periodic reminder that House Republicans' budget would wreak havoc on our communities. Michiganders deserve so much better than this.

J. D. Vance is spewing dog whistles and threatening to bring the national guard to Detroit—an offer to which the people of Michigan say, "Hell no!"

We're losing count of the many reasons why MAGA Matt Hall's budget would be a disaster for our state. Here's one more.

Immigrants are welcome here. Fascists are not. We're glad to see so many Michiganders stepping up to defend our immigrant community.

Matt Hall is a poor excuse for a leader, and people across the state are going to pay the price for his political games.

Just a few friendly reminders for anyone who needs them about handling breaking news situations without spreading or falling for misinformation.

ICYMI: Shady stuff from Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain...

Michigan Republicans are playing political games with the state budget—and our kids are suffering the consequences.

The House Republican budget becoming reality would be bad news for all of us—but the cuts they're proposing would be especially harmful to Black communities across the state.

More than 100 caregivers and support staff at Optalis Health & Rehabilitation Center of Bloomfield Hills represented by SEIU Healthcare MI will begin a three-day unfair labor practices strike on Tuesday, September 9, following threats of mass layoffs and wage slashing. MORE: seiuhcmi.online/hla

Michigan Republicans just passed a bill showing they are more concerned about what school bathroom children are using than whether or not their school has enough money to keep the bathroom lights on. #mileg

Kristi Noem bringing a motorcade to car-free Mackinac Island is fitting. Let's just hope she doesn't put any more animals in misery.

The people of Gaza are suffering, and our lawmakers have been complicit for far too long. Michiganders recognize that inaction for what it is: a moral failure.

While students, educators, and school officials are struggling with a wider variety of very real challenges—including the fact that they're expected to plan for the school year without a final state budget—House Republicans are busy trying to demonize and exclude trans kids.

Trans patients deserve better than this. Michigan Medicine must reconsider their decision.

This isn't governing. This is a hostage situation.  #michigan #mileg

We're tuning in to this morning's meeting of the House Education and Workforce Committee, where we've heard they'll be discussing a hateful, regressive anti-trans bathroom bill proposed by Republicans. We'll keep you posted. #mileg

People already face enough difficulty trying to access the healthcare they need. Republican lawmakers' inaction will make the situation far worse. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

Michiganders understand that allowing the people of Gaza to starve and suffer without medical care is a moral failure we cannot accept. Our lawmakers must stop making excuses for the Israeli government's reprehensible actions and step up to do the right thing. www.metrotimes.com/news/most-mi...

It's on all of us to fight back against fascism and keep pushing toward the bright, inclusive future we all deserve. https://www.northernexpress.com/news/opinion/fringe-fascism-and-the-future/

The countdown is on: Thanks to MAGA Matt Hall and House Republicans, we are now 40 days away from a state government shutdown. The GOP is throwing our communities under the bus to score political points and we all deserve better.

Packed house here at the Board of State Canvassers meeting (the overflow room is nearly out of seats) for Michiganders for Money Out of Politics, a ballot initiative aiming to ban political contributions from utilities like DTE. Follow along for live updates!

Michiganders deserve leaders who will fight for all of our needs. MAGA Matt Hall and his fellow Republicans are throwing our kids under the bus instead.

MAGA Republicans' irresponsible funding cuts are already causing chaos and uncertainty across the state.

MAGA Matt Hall is holding our state budget hostage, and people across the state will suffer for it.

Fascism is on the rise and it's on all of us to fight back. See what our ED, Sam Inglot, had to say in his latest op-ed with the Northern Express:

Stand Up for Progress is only a month away. Make sure you get your tickets before they're gone! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/progress-michigan-presents-stand-up-for-progress-featuring-usama-siddiquee-tickets-1513470183059?aff=oddtdtcreator

HAPPENING WEDNESDAY: A virtual townhall to discuss ongoing threats to our voting rights and how they could affect you. Details and registration here: www.mobilize.us/vnp/event/82...

Trump's funding cuts mean less access to nutrition education for people across the state—just one of many ways MAGA Republicans' billionaire first agenda is making our lives worse.

Our lawmakers should be accountable to the public, not corporate utilities—but how can we trust that our leaders will put ratepayers first when so many of them are taking donations from the same companies they're supposed to regulate?

Corporate utilities have been getting their way far too long and we need leaders who will hold them accountable. We hope and expect that new appointee Shaquila Myers will be a strong advocate for ratepayers and our rights.

In case anyone needs a reminder of why House Speaker Matt Hall and Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt are the worst

In which right-wing agitator Garrett Soldano is arrested for drunk driving...

Between heat and wildfires, the climate crisis is making our summers harsher, but it's not too late to reverse this trend and chart a better, more sustainable path forward.

MAGA Republicans are ripping away people's access to healthcare, and Michiganders aren't having it.

Do you have plans on September 12? We do, and we'd love to see you there! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/progress-michigan-presents-stand-up-for-progress-featuring-usama-siddiquee-tickets-1513470183059?aff=oddtdtcreator
