I’m running to be your next State Senator because Michigan — and America — are in crisis. And we need to face that reality, step up, fight back, and dream big again. Let's Do This! Join the Movement! https://t.co/qYBPhVICgV

It’s Free School Lunch Week. Just a reminder: Michigan Republicans tried to kill free meals for kids, but Democrats stepped up, fought back and saved free, universal breakfasts and lunches! Nourished kids thrive in and out of the classroom. Here’s what people are saying:

I too suffer from believing that facts, data and logic will work with people. But, I can’t stop. I won’t stop.
I have a mental illness that makes me think that people will change their minds if I present the correct arguments with the appropriate facts and data.

Jessica: I wanted to go over a few of the things people who are going to be out there on the streets peacefully protesting are upset about. Starting with the basics: Signing an executive order to do away with birthright citizenship which is literally in the constitution.

The University of Michigan should reject this horrific deal. If the Big Ten crosses the Rubicon and goes forward without us and tries to sell itself to Wall Street, then all options must be on the table, including Wolverinexit.
The University of Michigan's Board of Regents opposed the Big Ten’s capital deal, calling it "reckless" and "short-sighted." "Make no mistake: In five years, we would all regret this deal." — @JordanAckerMI

Trump’s illegal tariffs have increased prices dramatically, for both imported AND domestic goods. Republican hare-brained and chaotic economic policies have reignited inflation and are killing jobs.

Trump’s cuts in the “Big Ugly Bill" threaten Medicaid recipients in Michigan. So, Democrats fought back against Republicans and protected Medicaid in Michigan's budget to ensure seniors, children, and families can keep their healthcare. Winning for people!

I went over to @MI_Republicans & @MISenate socials & not a single elected Republican has had the courage to condemn their “youth” wing for claiming they "love Hitler" and want to send political opponents to "gas chambers.” It shouldn’t be hard for Americans to ostracize Nazis.

God bless you, @ChrisChristie. When so many Republicans have taken the cowardly path of subservience and sycophancy, Christie joins a small pantheon of conservatives who have kept their honor during these dark Trump times. Congrats, you brave few.
Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”
