Food isn't a luxury. People need #SNAP and food banks can't make up the difference. "...when you pull $15 billion a month out of a national economy and expect charity to step in and nobody miss a beat. That’s unrealistic.” - Phil Knight @fbcmich @MichLeague

Michigan's budget does make some progress, but there are still some major gaps, including early childhood funding. Cuts to Michigan's Great Start system are especially alarming. #MiLeg

Michiganders need health care. We need to protect the enhanced premium tax credits. Opinion | Protect Michigan families’ health care not tax breaks for the wealthy

Small business owners, self-employed workers and middle-income families across Michigan would face impossible choices. Some would be forced to drop coverage altogether.

Young adults are already struggling and don't need to see their healthcare premiums DOUBLE. @EconomicSecProj
@nataliefoster
For young adults facing crushing student loans, rising rent and grocery bills, and one of the toughest job markets in years, rising healthcare premiums could be the breaking point. Starting Nov.1, 24 million people who receive their healthcare insurance through the Affordable

The Michigan House budget causes real harm to people and communities, on top of the devastating federal cuts. #mileg

Eliminating Head Start does nothing to help kids and families and will also have a negative impact on the economy. We already have a child care crisis in Michigan & this makes it worse. #Childcare #HeadStart

It was an honor to speak to early childhood advocates at the Washtenaw Success by 6 Great Start meeting. With the looming federal cuts, we have a lot of work to do. #KidsCount

This is 💯 patently false. The #BBB cuts #Medicaid & puts everyone’s healthcare at risk because hospitals & health clinics will close.
Lisa McClain: "If you have a disabled child or you're a single mother or you're disabled yourself, I would think you would be screaming at the rooftops to pass this bill, because we need to pass this bill so you can continue to get your Medicaid."

The Senate voted to add $3.3 trillion to the national deficit & decimate the social safety net all to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. Bezos doesn’t need more money for ridiculous weddings. People need food & healthcare. https://t.co/F6fJn7aYZU

Among the most expensive pieces of legislation in years, the Republican bill could reshape the country’s finances for a generation.

Thank you @SenGaryPeters for taking the time to read the stories from thousands of Michiganders concerned about #Medicaid cuts. Michigan’s GOP delegation would not commit to reading any of the stories from constituents.
Hundreds of thousands of Michiganders could lose their health care if Republicans cut Medicaid. They're shouting from the rooftops about the devastating consequences they'd face. Here are some of their stories.

The Big Beautiful Bill is even uglier than first thought. It's getting worse, not better. Read the latest ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
New Congressional Budget Office (CBO) numbers confirm what we already knew – the reconciliation bill is getting worse, not better. The Senate bill will cut health care more deeply than the House bill and leave more people uninsured.

Today with members of @ProtectMI_Care we dropped off nearly 16,000 stories from residents concerned about #Medicaid to @RepTomBarrett Michiganders don’t want Medicaid cut & are scared about losing their healthcare. @MichLeague
This will be @RepTomBarrett first federal budget. He can vote two ways: ✅ Protect healthcare for over 150,000 Medicaid recipients in his district ❌ Terminate coverage for Michigan’s most vulnerable We hope these stories from Michiganders help you make the right choice.
