Honored to be in this fight with State Rep. @crheinga.bsky.social.
@reprheingans.bsky.social is one of the most progressive members of the Michigan legislature. She also happens to be my state representative. Now she’s facing an absurd primary challenge. No thanks. Let’s show Carrie (and her opponent) we’ve got her back ➡️ secure.actblue.com/donate/carri...

Packed crowd in Ann Arbor to hear from @crheinga.bsky.social and me on how we guarantee healthcare in this country. Medicare for All and MiCare would finally rid us of the need for private healthcare—and offer the security we all deserve. We have a historic opportunity to get this done.

This is a disgrace and an embarrassing retreat from a critical global leadership role. This will harm our national security, in case any commander-in-chief gives a crap about the US' national security. Some of the very deadly infectious diseases abroad will be on our doorstep that much sooner

We introduced our first bill today, HB 4009, to repeal Michigan's preemption on local governments establishing rent stabilization policies. Cities across the state are asking for this because #TheRentIsTooDamnHigh ! #Rent #RentIsTooDamnHigh #A2Renters #MILeg #Michigan

If you are a federal employee or you know one, I STRONGLY urge you to make sure you are a member of your union and that your dues are current before January 20th.
