Mirror tweets from Unapologetic Congresswoman fighting for justice for all. Proudly representing Michigan’s 12th District in the People’s House. [Public service journalism; not affiliated with government officer.]

We’re paying the price for Trump’s trade war with Canada—literally. Michiganders have already paid $3,800 more this year because of Trump’s policies. Attacking a close ally with strong labor standards makes no sense. He’d rather rename Lake Ontario than lower (cont in image...)

Starbucks has violated labor law more than any company in modern history and has been delaying contract negotiations for nearly 5 years. I’m proud to stand with Starbucks workers. Every worker deserves wages they can live on, strong benefits, and a voice on the job. It’s (cont in image...)

Everyday something new is being recalled because Trump and RFK Jr. don’t believe in science or research. We know he can't handle outbreaks, that’s why he was fired after letting millions die from COVID. How many more have to get sick and die for Congress to take (cont in reply...)

Today marks a year since the Trump administration began its vile campaign of assassinating civilians across the Caribbean and Pacific—an illegal campaign of terror that has claimed the lives of over 225 souls. We cannot normalize this. It must end. We need justice. Quoting (cont in reply...)

Today marks 6 months since the Trump administration launched its illegal and immoral war on the people of Iran. This act of imperial aggression has claimed thousands of innocent lives, put the U.S. and global economies on the brink, and caused suffering for millions. No more (cont in reply...)

Islamophobia is on the rise all across America. Families in Dearborn should be back-to-school shopping. Instead, they’re being terrorized by racists with AR-15s. We can’t normalize this. Democratic and Republican leadership must speak out against this Anti-Muslim fueled hate.

Imagine if our government invested in clean air and water, childcare, and healthcare like it invests in death and destruction abroad. Imagine if it cared about building schools here more than bombing them in Gaza. What kind of world would we be able to create for our children?

I was proud to secure $500K to construct the workplace development hub to provide critical education and workforce development programs to our community in Dearborn. Dearborn is home to a vibrant hardworking community, and these investments will ensure that it stays that way.

The richest 1% worldwide have more wealth than the bottom 95% of humanity. The 1% want us divided by race, religion, and everything else so they can keep on hoarding wealth and power. It doesn’t have to be this way. There are more of us than them—and we’re stronger together.

I stand in solidarity with the PanAmerican Congress gathering today in Uruguay. With authoritarianism on the rise across the Americas—fueled by Trump's renewed Monroe Doctrine—we must build strong bonds between our peoples to fight for freedom, sovereignty, and justice.

I'm proud to have secured $1.2 million for Dearborn Public School’s Community Career Center and Green Schoolyards Project. This funding creates career opportunities in automotive tech and new outdoor learning spaces for students. Our children are deserving of these investments.

Our fight is not with our neighbors. It is with the one percent. The world’s first trillionaire lives in the same country where the government guts Social Security for seniors, steals food from children, and slashes healthcare. It’s shameful. We can and must do better.
