Michigan State Senate Majority Whip | Notre Dame ☘️ | Ray Wert’s ginger half | Noa's mom

250 years ago, our Founders built something new: a nation governed by the people, endowed with the unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The work toward a "more perfect union" is far from finished. At 250, it's just beginning. It's on all of us to keep it alive. 🇺🇸

We should take Trump’s threats to our elections seriously – but we shouldn’t let him scare us out of voting. In Michigan, we’ve made it easier and safer to vote. So find your polling place, sample ballot, and absentee and early voting info at Michigan.gov/vote - and make sure to vote by August 4th!

The same court that torched Roe, handed the President a get-out-of-jail-free card, and took a chainsaw to the Voting Rights Act, just decided that a billionaire who’s legally capped at giving $7,000 to Mike Rogers’ campaign can now give the party $132,900 to spend directly on Mike Rogers anyway.

Why was a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the Gordie Howe bridge abruptly canceled a few weeks back? The Trump administration won’t say. Meanwhile, what we do know is that the billionaire owners of the competing Ambassador bridge donated a million bucks to a Trump super PAC,...

We must document every single rule and norm that Trump has violated — that is not illegal but should be — and pass it into law. We cannot have someone else come in and abuse this office the way that Donald Trump has ever again.

The United States under President Trump forced the abrupt cancellation of a ribbon cutting ceremony and the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge. Meanwhile, a few months back, the Maroun family - who owns the competing Ambassador Bridge - donated a million dollars to a Trump super PAC.

Too many are afraid to acknowledge how we got here. Trump didn’t get us into this mess. It was years, if not decades, of policy decisions that left too many people out as politicians and the system increasingly served itself.

The President is holding hostage the most significant federal housing legislation we’ve seen in decades — canceling an opportunity to build more homes and drive your costs down in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. His ransom? Your right to vote.

How do we fix Social Security? If we lifted the payroll tax cap to ensure everyone pays their fair share, Social Security would be solvent for decades. Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire, but he pays the same into social security that a teacher does. Pay your fair share.

Your government works for YOU. And the right to vote is not a bargaining chip. It is not something that a president gets to dangle over your head until you give him what he wants. The people of Michigan are not pawns in this game.
