It is despicable the lengths the Trump Administration will go to to block food assistance for 42 million Americans, including families, seniors, veterans and active military. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

I am grateful that Judge McConnell recognized this for what it is, an emergency for American families created by the Trump administration that is choosing to withhold funds from the SNAP program. www.abc12.com/news/state/m...

Reducing electric bills and making energy affordable is essential. www.wilx.com/2025/11/06/ag-nessel-intervening-dte-looks-get-approval-data-center

Eli Lilly has relied on these past Supreme Court decisions that twist a narrow exemption into something far too broad. michiganadvance.com/2025/11/05/m...

I am relieved that the Court has once again ruled that the Trump Administration cannot illegally threaten states by withholding critical transportation funding. www.wilx.com/2025/11/05/j...

The Home Help Program provides essential support to help some of our most vulnerable remain in the comfort of their homes and avoid the need for costly long-term care facilities. www.uppermichiganssource.com/2025/11/04/r...

FEMA was created to ensure the federal government would stand with its people in times of crisis, not abandon them. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mJs_...

Everyone deserves protection from sexual abuse, and Michigan has laws in place to keep people safe in our correctional facilities. My office will continue to hold accountable those who seek to use their positions of authority to abuse those under their care. www.mlive.com/crime/2025/1...

The SNAP program feeds nearly 500,000 children in Michigan every month. Last week, I sued USDA to keep the program running. By Friday, a federal judge ordered USDA to release the funds. As USDA finalizes their plan, Michigan leaders know what's at stake:

People said Trump was “joking” about Project 2025 before he implemented the bulk of it. To believe he’s joking about serving a third term is naive. @dananessel.bsky.social

Although I secured a court order releasing emergency funds, the delay of SNAP benefits will still be felt over the coming weeks. If you’re able, please support your local food pantry either through monetary donations, non-perishable food items, or with your time by volunteering.

Providing food assistance to residents in need is not just a moral issue, it’s also a legal one. I am grateful that the court has agreed that the USDA is obligated to spend available funding to support food assistance and prevent Americans from going hungry. www.mlive.com/news/2025/10...

More than 1.4 million Michiganders risk losing food assistance because of the shutdown. It’s cruel and illegal to deny families food. I’ll keep standing up to the Trump Administration’s reckless disregard for people’s lives.

SNAP benefits will not be paid out effective this Saturday, leaving 42 million Americans to wonder how they’re going to put food on the table next week.

Emergency funding exists for exactly this kind of crisis. If the reality of 42 million Americans going hungry, including 1.4 million Michiganders, isn’t an emergency, I don’t know what is. www.wlns.com/news/michiga...

The Trump Administration should use all available funds to ensure SNAP benefits are not paused and be upfront about how they plan to move forward so Americans continue receiving the support they need during this time of uncertainty.

When law enforcement officers abuse their authority and compromise that process, they not only betray public trust but also put innocent owners at risk. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

Have I got news for you! Thanks for having me on the show! www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/p...

When Trump and his allies say “there’s a plan” for a third term, we can’t ignore them. This is serious, and it’s on all of us to speak out against such a blatant violation of the Constitution.

Protecting public safety and securing justice requires uninterrupted prosecution. www.9and10news.com/2025/10/23/m...

Voting twice undermines our democratic process. My office will continue to prosecute those who violate our voting laws to ensure Michigan voters have confidence in the integrity of our elections. www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

On the latest episode of Pantsuits and Lawsuits, @krismayes.bsky.social and I sit down with former U.S. Attorney @barbmcquade.bsky.social to discuss the culture within the DOJ, leading under pressure, and how institutions can balance legal risk with their core values.

In America, we have no kings. #NoKings

It was powerful to see so many people across West Michigan standing up and making their voices heard today — thank you Paw Paw, South Haven, and Holland! #NoKings

The No Kings protests happening across Michigan and the country are powerful opportunities for people to make their voices heard. I encourage everyone who wants to participate to make signs, bring your friends, and stand together for what you believe in.

Ransomware can devastate residents and businesses by locking them out of their devices and demanding payment for access. By understanding how this malware works and taking proactive steps, Michiganders can better protect their data from cyberattacks. www.wilx.com/2025/10/15/a...

Even experienced sellers can be fooled by realistic prop money. I urge Michiganders to slow down, verify cash carefully, and meet in safe locations when conducting online marketplace sales. www.woodtv.com/news/michiga...

Grateful to spend time in Manistique last night with the Schoolcraft County Democrats. Thanks for having me!

I commend the Cadillac Police Department, Oasis Family Resource Center, the Wexford County Prosecutor’s Office, and our Operation Survivor Justice partners for their support in securing this sentence and providing assistance to the victim and her family. www.mlive.com/news/2025/10...

Coming forward to report a sexual assault takes extraordinary courage. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Another full and inspiring day in the UP: ✅ Celebrated 60 years of service with MDS Community Action Agency ✅ Collaborated with advocates at Tri-County Safe Harbor ✅ Met up with the Delta County Democrats

No matter where I go in Michigan, I always meet great people who are working hard to make our state better. Thank you Northern Michigan University, local health care providers, and Marquette County Democratic Party for the warm welcome to Marquette yesterday!

If individuals are stripped of their ability to enforce the Voting Rights Act, everyday Americans will have little control in protecting their own right to vote. michiganadvance.com/briefs/nesse...

I would like to thank the prosecutors from my department and our law enforcement partners whose dedication was instrumental in securing this conviction and delivering justice for human trafficking survivors. www.mlive.com/news/2025/10...

As Michigan’s Attorney General, one of my main responsibilities is to protect crime victims and fight for their justice. www.wilx.com/2025/10/07/a...

In Highland Park this weekend, I met people doing the work—supporting domestic violence survivors. But without continued federal funding, we risk losing critical services. That’s a cost we cannot afford.

Earlier this week, my office on teamed up with local law enforcement in Genesee County to equip faith leaders and community members with practical steps to protect their places of worship.

My office is working to protect Michigan residents from Medicare and Medicaid scams. Stay alert, stay informed, and know we’ve got your back.

Medical decisions belong to individuals and their doctors, not politicians and special interest groups. This ruling is a reminder that our Constitution and the will of Michigan voters cannot be struck down because anti-abortion individuals don’t like the outcome. www.freep.com/story/news/p...

I know a government shutdown can cause uneasiness and uncertainty for many families. Scammers take advantage of those fears to try to steal money and personal information. The best defense is to stay calm and verify details directly with the government agency. www.wzzm13.com/article/news...

Following what appears to be a hate crime this weekend in Grand Blanc, we must come together to confront hate and build safer, stronger communities. www.threads.com/@dananessel/...

In the wake of the heartbreaking events in Grand Blanc, the last thing our communities need is fear and disruption from copycat threats. www.mlive.com/news/2025/09...

My office has been in contact with Sheriff Swanson and local law enforcement in Grand Blanc and we are able and ready to assist as needed. My heart and prayers are with the families of those impacted and the entire Grand Blanc community.

This ruling makes clear that no administration can hold appropriated federal funds hostage to advance a political agenda. www.wilx.com/2025/09/25/a...

Mackinac Island welcomes more than a million visitors each year, and they deserve to know that the tickets they purchase online will get them onto the ferry and into popular attractions. www.fox2detroit.com/news/mackina...

Stripping away federal funding from trusted providers like Planned Parenthood will only deepen these disparities and further strain our medical system. I will continue to fight to ensure that Michigan residents have access to trusted providers who deliver their care without political interference.

This settlement lets Capital One off the hook for deceiving customers while also undermining the ability of state attorneys general to hold bad actors accountable. www.wilx.com/2025/09/26/a...

Companies cannot fail to provide the services they promised after accepting deposits or ignore rightful requests for refunds. My office will hold businesses accountable for engaging in these unfair practices. www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

I hope this sentence brings some measure of justice for the victim’s family. As Attorney General, my office has consistently stepped in to support counties during times of vacancies. upnorthlive.com/news/local/i...
