Republicans like @JohnJamesMI put thousands of Michiganders' lives in jeopardy when they voted to cut Medicaid this month, including Kyle and Taylor's six-year-old son, George.

The GOP’s budget bill is a big betrayal of the middle class, terminating healthcare and food assistance for millions of people across the country. That’s why I joined my fellow Democratic governors to hold Republicans in Congress accountable.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” that Republicans just signed into law will significantly weaken both our state’s and country’s finances. Here in Michigan, we can’t backfill the massive hole in our budget that this will cause with state funding alone.

We’ll keep watching how national tariffs and budget fights could impact our momentum—but here in my state, I'll keep doing everything in my power to make sure Michigan remains on the move.

Michigan is on the move, and I couldn't be prouder. According to CNBC, we’re now a top 10 state for doing business! We’re creating jobs, fixing the damn roads, and investing in workers.

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will:.❌ Rip health care away from millions of people.❌ Put millions in medical debt.❌ Cut care to fund tax breaks for billionaires.❌ Add trillions to the national debt. There’s nothing "beautiful" about raising costs and putting people's lives.

Passing this bill not only rips health care and vital resources away from hundreds of thousands of Michiganders, it cuts billions in federal funding that our state relies on.

Medicaid provides a lifeline to millions of Michiganders—including people fighting cancer, seniors in nursing homes, new moms, and veterans. @JohnJamesMI, @billhuizenga, @tombarrettmi7, and every Michigan representative who voted to rip health care away from their constituents.

Gutting Medicaid means leaving millions of Americans without healthcare. We’ve got to tell Republicans in the House that Medicaid is not for sale.

Instead of fighting to rip away health care, we need representatives who will fight like hell to protect access to Medicaid, reproductive rights, and so much more. Donate now and let's recruit and train the next generation of leaders:

Senate Republicans just voted to pass a bill that would rip away access to health care and food assistance from millions of people. But the House still has a chance to do the right thing. Michigan: Take a moment right now to contact House Republicans like @JohnJamesMI,.

If the GOP’s "Big Beautiful Bill" passes:. - More than 200,000 Michiganders would lose Medicaid coverage. - 4 of our rural hospitals could be forced to close or drastically reduce services. - More than 300,000 would lose access to SNAP food assistance. - We would lose $16.2.

In Michigan, we believe in letting women make their own choices about their own bodies. From reproductive care to cancer screenings to mental health services, Planned Parenthood provides essential care to people across our state—and I'll fight like hell to protect that access.

Here in Michigan, we believe that everyone has a right to be who they are and love who they love. That's why I've fought hard to protect LGBTQ+ rights, and we’ve made historic progress—establishing the first-ever statewide LGBTQ+ commission, expanding protections under the

Yesterday I took action to make it clear that all Michigan hospitals will continue providing adequate and appropriate reproductive care to patients. Here in Michigan, we trust women to make decisions that are right for their bodies, lives, and futures.

Three years ago, Americans had their constitutional right to abortion stripped away when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Here in Michigan, we fought back. We enshrined abortion rights in our state constitution and repealed the 1931 abortion ban. I promise that I'll
