I was honored to receive @K12Michigan 2026 Champion for Students award this week. I first decided to run for this position on behalf of my students who were constantly being shortchanged by decisions in Lansing...

During my time in the legislature, I've always worked to advance policy and budgetary priorities that put our kids first. Receiving this recognition from school leaders who are out in the trenches every day fighting for our kids means so much to me ❤️💪

Congratulations to the @UAW Local 2093 members on reaching a TA with American Axel after over a week on the picket line! This is proof that when workers stick together they have the power 💪 #solidarity

"30 by 30." That's $30 by 2030. That's what UAW Local 2093 members demanded. And that's what they're going to get. UAW Local 2093 members have always known their own power at American Axle. They recognized that it was their sacrifices 18 years ago that kept this plant alive in Three Rivers, MI, after the Great Recession. And they flexed that power on STRIKE -- to win their fair share of all the success this company's seen in recent years. Congratulations to these brave men and women for lifting up their entire community with this victory!

The UAW and the labor movement have protected Michigan working families for decades. I’m proud to earn @UAWRegion1 endorsement of my campaign.

Incredibly honored to be endorsed by the Michigan AFL-CIO. Together, we’re going to make sure that every worker in this state is paid the money they are owed, has access to the benefits they’ve earned, and enjoys safe and dignified working conditions. Onwards!

They probably needed to build a whole new data center just to make this ad
Michigan Republican candidate for governor (who polls at or near the bottom of the race) is using artificial intelligence for a video ad that doesn't even show his face, but features AI-generated @JocelynBenson, @Tim_Walz, @gretchenwhitmer, @GavinNewsom, @dananessel and, of course, @BuffMikeRogers.

As the first LGBTQ Michigan Senator, I sponsored the law that finally added sexual orientation and gender identity in the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act to ban discrimination against our community. Watch this historic Pride moment as it passed in 2023:

BEWARE OF TRUMP'S "EDUCATION FREEDOM TAX CREDIT" 🚨 The Republican lawmakers who wrote the "Education Freedom Tax Credit" included in President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) designed it primarily to fund a Betsy DeVos-style scheme that provides vouchers (which they call "scholarships") mostly for private and religious schools. NOT EXCLUSIVE TO LOW-INCOME KIDS 🚨 Families/students eligible to claim the vouchers can earn considerable incomes; in fact, a family of four in Livingston County, Michigan, can earn $319,800 and qualify for a voucher. PASS-THROUGH ORGS WILL BE SET UP TO FUNNEL MONEY FOR TUITION TO PRIVATE/RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS 🚨 What is likely to happen if Michigan opts in to this program is that many new "Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs)" will be created to fund private/religious school tuition, as direct cash transfers for tuition are easy to execute. IT'S NOT "FREE" 🚨 The more this voucher scheme is used, the less tax revenue the federal government collects. If private/religious schools and their backers are successful in mobilizing large numbers of individuals to partake in this program, the loss of federal funds available for Title 1-A Grants to local districts and the IDEA Act (students with disabilities) state grant program will place very real pressure on state budgets. ncpecoalition.org/obbba
A coalition of organizations representing Michigan's educators and advocates called on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer today to keep Michigan out of the federal "Education Freedom Tax Credit" program. For more information, visit: bit.ly/4t91pVx

Today, we gathered to urge Michigan's Supreme Court to uphold the rule of law and transmit the stalled bills to Gov. Whitmer for her signature. These bills will help hundreds of thousands of hardworking Michiganders — who are already dealing with increased costs and rising gas prices — make ends meet. It's time to get it done. “The sanctity of the Michigan Constitution and the separation of powers in our state hinge on the outcome of this case,” said Ron BIEBER, president of the Michigan AFL-CIO. “We are not only fighting for the workers impacted by the stalled bills, but also for the rule of law in Michigan. There are no kings in Michigan or America. We urge the Michigan Supreme Court to follow Michigan’s constitution.”

My heart's breaking for the entire Jewish community. I can't imagine the anguish of parents while their children were in lockdown. The hate & anti-semitism has to stop. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"
When I was growing up, antisemitism was primarily in history books and black & white film reels. Today it was in real color right up the road at Temple Israel. This is a fire that will take all of us to snuff out. We must stand up to the unacceptable rise in antisemitism.

Our worst nightmare. Growing up at Temple Israel shaped me into the person I am today. I have so much to say but right now my heart is with our entire TI and West Bloomfield community. Thank you so much to WBPD, WBFD, and the incredible law enforcement and security response —

I want to share with everyone here that I will not be seeking re-election this term. It has been an incredible honor to serve the people of District 5 (& the constituents and communities of former District 6 (23-24) and 27 (21-22)).

Public service isn't just about holding a title, and I look forward to continuing to serve Michigan while also having more flexibility to focus on the needs of my family.
