@JaneCastor As a gay woman with parents in Florida I have grave concerns about going. Who’ll guarantee my safety? My parents know they can’t unless I never leave their house. There are literal travel advisories for LGBTQ people telling us not to go to Florida.

@ChrisDJackson And yet he doesn’t wear a big cross around his neck or quote the Bible incessantly or try to govern from a pulpit. Seems like he respects the original intent of the Founders…separation of church and state.

@wyonaf Two reasons. One to prevent trans females from being involved in sports with girls and to make sure he keeps track of whether these girls are getting pregnant to make sure they don’t get an abortion.

That’s your opinion. The people of Michigan disagree. Recent polling indicates a very high approval for our state legislature and governor. You had 40 years.

Psssst this is what being really pro-life and pro-child looks like.
Our latest budget includes $160 million to offer every Michigan public school student free breakfast and lunch. Let's make Michigan the 4th state in America to get this done.

@MaryLTrump On a smaller scale the male dominated press in Michigan is blaming the governor for the covid surge. They seem to forget that the GOP led state legislature took her powers away and then she or anyone who tried to do anything was threatened with violence. This surge is on them.

@MNLakesGirl @nazuzuwin @sparksjls @BlackBag1 Interesting you mention the Tylenol scare. I remember people dying of AIDS and no one cared because it was mainly gay men. A few people die with Tylenol and all of a sudden they care. It’s all about who’s directly affected.

@Mpolymer I’m not a moderate but I’d be ok with this. Japans gun laws are my favorite. You must undergo a psych evaluation, take gun classes, pass a test (like with cars), get a license, register guns and can only own a handgun and air rifle. And every five years you renew.

Dr. Offit is a preeminent epidemiologist and I trust him a lot more than Brain Worm Boy.
Dr. Paul Offit from today's Roundtable on Vaccines:. "The problem is not only that we've largely eliminated these diseases. we've eliminated the memory of these diseases. Parents are now more scared of the safety of vaccines, real or imagined, then the diseases they prevent."

Michiganders remember this? I do.
Please remind people of Trump’s behavior with certain Democratic governors during the height of Covid. Specifically ask @GovWhitmer, who had to beg for supplies because Trump is incapable of serving anyone but himself.

My state is led by three women. They know how to get stuff done. Thank you to Governor Whitmer, AG Nessel and SoS Benson!! We also have a ton of women in our state legislature-including our State Senate Majority Leader, Winnie Brinks!!.
This month, we celebrate women – and there’s a heck of a lot to celebrate. Our state is home to countless leaders, innovators, and changemakers who not only made history but are shaping our future. To the women of Michigan: your strength is the backbone of our state.

MI-10 the state of Michigan has said no to Betsy DeVos and school vouchers many times now. John James didn’t get the memo. Let’s show him the door and put @MarlingaForMI10 in office!!.
John James has once again turned his back on our public school teachers by supporting tax credits for religious schools. He has consistently supported diverting funds from public schools, harming our students and our teachers. Michigan deserves better.

Hey DNC this is how you win. You need leaders like Governor Whitmer. You need someone who tackles the social issues and the economy-you can do both. In fact, they’re inextricably linked.
Democrats need to start talking up the Michigan miracle. Because Whitmer's party is providing a real roadmap towards saving this country. She's not falling into all the traps Democrats often fall into.

Boom. Yes she is a hardworking governor. She’s incredibly hardworking. She also has delivered consistently and puts Michiganders’ needs first. I will always stand with her.
I'm Gretchen Whitmer — a proud mom, lifelong Michigander, and hardworking governor. I'm running for re-election in a swing state where special interests are pouring millions to unseat me. There's so much at stake in this race, but I'm ready to fight back.

This is what a leader sounds like folks. So very proud she represents my Michigan.
Today is #TransDayofVisibility 🏳️⚧️. In Michigan, we’ll fight for your freedom to live your life, and be yourself without fear of discrimination. While other states are engaging in the business of bigotry, we’re taking action so every Michigander is free to be who they are.

Bigotry is plain wrong. On top of that, it's bad for business. In Michigan, we’re taking action to ensure our state is welcome to all by enshrining LGBTQ+ legal protections into law. We’ll continue to compete for talent with any state that’s attacking people’s rights.

Just a reminder: This is how a leader talks. Learn it, love it.
My top priority has always been doing what's best for Michigan. Sometimes, that looks like fighting to protect access to fundamental freedoms. Sometimes, it's fighting to bring good-paying jobs home. No matter what, I'll never stop putting Michiganders first.

@LarrySchuler @ladacyn I’ve said it a few times but I’ll say it again. Since it’s very hard to get rid of a constitutional amendment they’re using abortion to curb women’s voting rights. In many states if you commit a felony you can’t vote…abortion becoming a felony means women convicted can’t vote.
