Weâre paying the price for Trumpâs trade war with Canadaâliterally. Michiganders have already paid $3,800 more this year because of Trumpâs policies. Attacking a close ally with strong labor standards makes no sense. Heâd 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. Iâm proud to stand with Starbucks workers. Every worker deserves wages they can live on, strong benefits, and a voice on the job. Itâs (cont in image...)
Flock cameras are being used to spy on us and violate our privacy. Our neighbors don't want their tax dollars used to terrorize our Black and Brown neighbors or stalk and harass women. We must immediately ban mass surveillance.
Hundreds of my residents are experiencing DTE power outages during this heat wave. My office is working hard and urging DTE to be more proactive in restoring peopleâs power. If your power is out, you can report it to DTE at 800-477-4747.
Everyday something new is being recalled because Trump and RFK Jr. donât believe in science or research. We know he can't handle outbreaks, thatâs 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...)
Nobody wants the ballroom. Quoting POLITICO
Corporations and their bought politicians are the ones hurting our communities with high prices, endless war, and tax breaks for billionaires. Condemn them, not the Democratic Socialists who are fighting to make life easier for working families.
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...)
The House voted on a funding bill to send more money to DHS. Republicans voted yes so they can go back home & beg for votes ahead of the elections. Democrats voted yes because they deem it “good enough.” I voted NO. I will not fund the DHS deportation machine.
The aftermath of the Nepal-Tibet floods is heartbreaking. We must take action against climate change to prevent more of these catastrophic events from robbing lives and destroying entire countries. I am praying for those who have lost loved ones. https://t.co/bXh3niEAbV
This brave postal service whistleblower reveals that Trump's plans for mail-in ballots would be a catastrophe that disenfranchises voters and derails the midterms. We cannot allow this fascist government to throw out our votes and steal elections. Quoting NBC News
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...)
63 years ago, Dr. MLK Jr. marched on Washington for our right to vote. Those hard-earned rights are under attack today. The Billionaires running our country are desperately trying to cling on to wealth & power, but there are more of us. We will continue fighting to pass the
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.
Trump has 57 ultra-millionaires and 8 billionaires in his administration. His government is of, by, and for the 1%. This is oligarchy. The rich got huge tax breaks, while the rest of us got another war, rising costs, and giant cuts to healthcare.
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.
We are in a climate crisis—and AI Data centers are making it worse. Even if one hasn't popped up in your community yet, polluted air and dirty water affects us all. Congress must pass my No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act, now!
Our tax dollars should be used here to build new schools, invest in clean air and water, and provide healthcare to all. Nobody wants to finance Trump’s endless wars, pay to bomb schools and hospitals abroad, or build a ballroom that no one has asked for.
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.
Nolan Wells should be celebrating his 19th birthday today. Instead, his family is still wondering what happened to him, and if justice will ever prevail. Nolan deserved to blow his candles out today—and his family deserves answers. Justice for Nolan Wells.
The Trump admin is ending funding for nonprofits legally representing unaccompanied immigrant children. Instead, they gave $158M to a group founded by an ex-ICE agent to represent these kids. They’ve rigged the system and targeted vulnerable children.
While CEOs of huge corporations get richer and richer, the workers that keep their businesses running struggle to make ends meet. The consolidation of wealth in our country is fanning the flames of facism. Congress must pass my Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act now.
The solutions to many of our problems have already been identified. Now, we just need elected officials to have the courage to pass them into law. We can start with raising the minimum wage to $25/hr, passing Medicare for All, and ending the genocide in Gaza.
My statement on the Islamophobic white supremacists' march in Dearborn.
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.
The Southwest Detroit community mourns the loss of Beto, a beloved leader and ally who helped build a lasting legacy, including the annual Cinco de Mayo parade. Sending love and condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew him. His legacy lives on.
Mike Brown should still be with us today. But 12 years ago this week, he was murdered by a police officer in Ferguson. Our fight for justice and an end to white supremacy, police violence, and mass incarceration continues. Black lives matter.
