Michigan Democrats stand in solidarity with the 750 nurses and caseworkers represented by Teamsters Local 332 in their fight for higher wages and safer nurse-to-patient ratios.

While you're heading home and getting dinner ready tonight, Mike Duggan will be sipping champagne at an invite-only big dollar fundraiser hosted by a MAGA megadonor who's been linked to corruption scandals involving city contracts. www.metrotimes.com/news/politic...

Lol Tesla's fake robotaxi is asking riders to tip. Comical shit. sfstandard.com/2025/09/15/t...

1. Azerbaijan hasn't been at war with Albania. Trump confuses Albania with Armenia. But he wants credit, a Nobel Prize, for ending a war in which he can't identify the parties. 2. The Fox hosts are too ignorant or too sycophantic to correct him. 3. Imagine if Biden had said this.

Second week of school. Text from my kid, who's been through so many drills, shelter in place warnings and full on lockdowns that they're just the normal course of business now. This is the world people like Charlie Kirk worked to create.

Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!

Pretty amazing how they can "precisely" target someone but every hospital, school, place of worship, refugee camp was an "accident."

I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

This was A+

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

'a gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.' Who wouldn't want to vacation over the slaughtered bodies of tens of thousands of children? This is so sick. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Dear elected Dems who support Mike Duggan.. Good luck with your independent campaigns... 🤣

if you've never seen a guy try to sound tough while whining about getting his ass kicked by 90 year olds, check this out

Louder for the folks in the back: Republicans don't believe in democracy. They believe in dominance. And until we get our shit together and smash them into the ground a few times, they'll keep pushing the envelope farther and farther into fascism.

Laura Loomer's latest victim? Visas for critically injured Palestinian kids The “proud Islamophobe” waged and won a days-long campaign against treating child amputees from Gaza. Here's what to know for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tim Dunn is a Texas oil billionaire with ties to the Christian nationalist movement. He dumped $5 million into Rogers' campaign. On top of that, he has lived in Florida for the past 10 years. He doesnt care about anyone but himself.

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves. And when he drove away, they opened fire on him. This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

From one Big Ugly Bill to another. This is your reminder that the Save Act is awaiting a Senate vote. Contact your senators now and demand they vote NO. www.senate.gov/senators/sen... www.lcv.org/blog/the-sav...

If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:

These kids were amputees and badly burned CHILDREN

Gaza is the size of Detroit and home to the most child amputees per capita. HEAL Palestine is an organization that evacuates these children and provides them with much needed medical care. This is beyond cruel, but I expect nothing less from these sadists. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

It was such a privilege to be in the beautiful Upper Peninsula this week, hosting an important Town Hall with Chair Hertel and colleagues from the Michigan Democratic Party. We had meaningful conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing their communities. I can't wait to go back.

In Iron Mountain, we stood with AFGE workers fighting back against VA Secretary Doug Collins’ anti-worker, anti-veteran move to rip up their union contract. Michigan Democrats are showing up in every corner of the state to support veterans and union members

From skyrocketing CEO pay to the crushing costs of housing, childcare, and wages that don’t keep up — families were sold a bill of goods by Donald Trump. It’s time to make life a little easier for everyday Americans. Hear more from MDP Chair @CurtisHertelJr.bsky.social at PartyOnThePeninsulas.com

"To have somebody that is your own congressman, who is supposed to be looking out for you, refusing to meet with his constituents and addressing their pain, while voting to give tax cuts to billionaires and cutting services in his own district...it’s simply wrong." www.myupnow.com/news/residen...

We marched with UAW members today after Cleveland-Cliffs made a contractual promise to invest $300 million in the historic Rouge steelmaking facility, and broke that promise. Starting on July 15th, Cliffs decided to idle all but two departments, resulting in the layoffs of over 500 UAW members.

We hit the UP, talking to people about the issues that matter most. It was awesome being up there and meeting so many people. Michigan Dems are showing up where Republicans refuse to.

Another journalist I followed was killed. Just last month, Anas shared he'd been threatened by the IDF for doing nothing more than his job. Now he and his colleague have been killed. Over 200 journalists in Gaza have been killed or are missing- more than any other conflict in this amount of time.

“Working people have no illusions about what just happened at the Department of Veterans Affairs: By cutting off union contracts, the Trump Administration has launched a disgusting attack on working people and veterans everywhere..." - @seiupres.bsky.social statement: www.seiu.org/2025/08/seiu...

Take action today to support Michigan's Hmong refugees facing deportation. Call ICE's Detroit Field Office today. @maixiong.bsky.social @michiganimmigrant.bsky.social @risingvoicesaaf.bsky.social

Habeas corpus protects individuals from unlawful detention by requiring the government to justify holding someone in custody. This administration is not well, so speak up. Now is not the time to be polite about your politics. techcrunch.com/2025/08/06/k...

One monarch caterpillar ready to pupate and another ready to eclose. I understand the controversy around "raising" monarchs, but they are outside and until more people plant milkweed (their only source of food) I feel the need to do whatever it takes to guarantee survival.

Mike Rogers’ top backer is a Texas oil billionaire and “avowed Christian nationalist” linked to white supremacists and antisemites. A Super PAC backing John James got millions from the DeVos family. MDP Chair @CurtisHertelJr.bsky.social breaks it all down on PartyOnThePeninsulas.com

Today is Primary Day for some parts of the state. Did you know the Michigan Democratic Party is one of the only state parties with a Voter Protection program and a hotline open year-round? If you encounter issues at the polls, or have questions about voting, call 1-833-648-6837.

Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because his fragile ego can’t handle criticism. Hear more from MDP Chair @curtisherteljr.bsky.social on this week's episode at PartyOnThePeninsulas.com

The ugly reality of Trump's economy.

We’re losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting but worry not, the part-time golfer president is getting a golden ballroom.

Democrats cannot expect to gain back the voters they lost in 2024 if they continue to refuse to admit or realize that aiding and abetting a genocide is a red line for a lot of people. If your humanity is not enough to understand why this matters, then hopefully your taxes being used for it will.

We're bringing the People's Town Hall to Michigan's Upper Peninsula! Join MDP Chair Curtis Hertel and fellow Yoopers to discuss the issues that matter most to you and your family. Sign up here: michigandems.com/YooperTownHall

Join Chair @curtisherteljr.bsky.social with special guest @petebuttigieg.bsky.social for the Michigan Democratic Party’s signature fundraising event in West Michigan on Saturday, October 4th in downtown Grand Rapids. Tickets can be purchased at michigandems.com/botw2025

The Freedom Flotilla, carrying a Michigander, was on a mission to deliver aid and raise awareness for babies and children starving in Gaza. They were sailing in international waters. michigandems.com/chair-hertel...

Too many in Congress hide from their constituents. Mark and I are here in Michigan’s 10th district for a town hall to hear directly from Americans about what’s important to them.  The Michiganders we met today are demanding real change, and we’re right there with them. #MI10

Want to know how we hold Trump and Republicans accountable? It starts with getting involved now. We can win back the House and Senate in 2026 if we put in the work in places like Macomb County, where Republicans are choosing loyalty to Trump over their constituents.

Just had a great discussion at our Michigan town hall about how Trump's big bill is great for billionaires, and terrible for everyone else. Folks here and across the country are seeing how Republicans in Congress aren’t standing up for them. It’s time to put them out of a job.

Michigan Dems hosted a powerful town hall in MI-10 with @gabbygiffords.bsky.social, @CaptMarkKelly.bsky.social, and Chair @CurtisHertelJr.bsky.social to call out the damage Trump and Republicans are doing to Michigan families. While John James hides, we’re standing up and demanding accountability.
