On Indigenous Veterans Day, November 8, we honor First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans whose bravery and sacrifice have supported Canada through conflict, peacekeeping missions, and disaster response, sometimes while confronting discrimination and prejudice. Lest we forget. #WeRemember

Ain’t that the truth.

Monday in Grosse Pointe, come learn about #healthcare effects of the #GOPShutdown and the #BigBullshitBill and how #MiCare could be a new way forward after our health care system totally collapses #M4A #HealthcareForAll #MedicareForAll @verostaterep10.bsky.social @donavanmckinney.bsky.social

Michigan State budget update.

State revenues budgets update!

The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research —a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling — represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from. (Published April)

Tonight I joined community activists to hear Sen. Kevin Hertel talk about state budget & negotiations. #housedistrict10 #michiganbudget He’s active in his District—from Grosse Pointe Park to Algonac & Harsen’s Island. I appreciate residents attending meetings and their interest in state politics.

Michigan Republicans’ budget includes $50 million for a UP township; ends funding for autism, cuts funding & jobs for state police, water infrastructure & lead lines. #DefundRepublicans www.uppermichiganssource.com/2025/08/29/m...

Republican Speaker of the Michigan House says he would have had a budget done in time if there was a provision saying he had to. But there’s not, so he didn’t. Tell Matt Hall to get to work — he shouldn’t need a law to force him to do what he was elected to do.

Even my House Republican colleagues believe they shouldn’t be paid for not presenting and passing a budget. 2 weeks ago they canceled session for the week. House Republicans would rather be on vacation than work this summer. Hold Republicans accountable — tell Republicans to get to work!

Michigan has same-day voter registration, which means that you can still register to vote on Election Day! Visit your local clerk’s office by 8 p.m. today, bring proof of residency, register, and cast your ballot. Michigan.gov/Vote

Flaco Jiménez, a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and accordion virtuoso who was widely regarded as the king of Tex-Mex music, recording material with acts like Dwight Yoakam, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, has died. He was 86.

Thus sayeth the Lord.

Former President Joe Biden warned that the country is facing "dark days" under President Donald Trump's watch, saying the executive branch "seems to be doing its best to dismantle the Constitution." cnn.it/41kEnQk

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

Wear Orange Day in Grosse Pointe Woods. Calling for an end to gun violence.

Local elections are happening ONE week from today on May 6. If you still need to register to vote, you can do so in person at your clerk’s office now through 8 p.m. on Election Day. Visit Michigan.gov/Vote for more information.

A two year old. A f*cking two year old U.S. CITIZEN. I have a two year old — there is nothing dangerous, nothing scary about a two year old. And there is nothing legal about deporting a U.S. citizen. This is what Trump’s brown shirts are doing with our tax dollars and in our name. It has to END.

Director John Ratcliffe broke the law. He must resign.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Today is Cesar Chavez Day - Michigan holiday! Please join me in celebrating his advocacy and work for the rights of agricultural workers and civil rights.

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.” But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children. If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

This is a link to my Facebook post that explains my “No” vite yesterday for House Resolution 19 which I understand to be a weaponization of government. www.facebook.com/share/15poS9...

There have been some truly awful and egregious headlines on Gaza in the New York Times over the past 16 months but we may have a winner, folks. ‘Gaza Development Plan’

This afternoon I live-streamed the rally for democracy and against Musk’ and Trump’s coup and disabling Americans. View it on my Facebook page. You will see/hear my colleagues speaking. @dylanwegela.bsky.social @reprheingans.bsky.social @emilydievendorf.bsky.social www.facebook.com/share/v/18g8...

I'm glad to announce I was appointed to serve on our House Agriculture Committee, as Minority Vice Chair. I love this committee because agriculture addresses issues from food to labor. I was also appointed to the Finance Committee and look forward to sharing proposed legislation w/you.

Love my @mihousedems.bsky.social caucus! 💙💙💙💪🏼

Martin Luther King, Jr.’s mission was peace, equality, civil rights of all. The irony is we celebrate him as a President who opposes that vision is inaugurated. This reminds me the struggle continues for our country free of malevolence & hate, & that with fearlessness & purpose we shall overcome.

Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year, District 10!
