On Indigenous Veterans Day, November 8, we honor First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans whose bravery and sacrifice have supported Canada through conflict, peacekeeping missions, and disaster response, sometimes while confronting discrimination and prejudice.

Lest we forget.

#WeRemember

Ain’t that the truth.

Monday in Grosse Pointe, come learn about #healthcare effects of the #GOPShutdown and the #BigBullshitBill and how #MiCare could be a new way forward after our health care system totally collapses #M4A #HealthcareForAll #MedicareForAll @verostaterep10.bsky.social @donavanmckinney.bsky.social

Michigan State budget update.

My Hispanic Heritage Month resolution given in the House last week. @mihousedems.bsky.social @votolatino.bsky.social

State revenues budgets update!

Same problem here in Michigan.

White House Proposal Could Gut Climate Modeling the World Depends On Potential funding cuts for NOAA and its research partners threaten irreparable harm not only to climate research but to American safety, competitiveness, and national security.

The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research —a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling — represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from.

Tonight I joined community activists to hear Sen. Kevin Hertel talk about state budget & negotiations. #housedistrict10 #michiganbudget He’s active in his District—from Grosse Pointe Park to Algonac & Harsen’s Island. I appreciate residents attending meetings and their interest in state politics.

Michigan House budget includes $50M requested by Wakefield Township, could help fund Copperwood Mine project The township hopes an investment in its infrastructure will allow projects like the Copperwood Mine to move forward, boosting its population and its economy.

Michigan Republicans’ budget includes $50 million for a UP township; ends funding for autism, cuts funding & jobs for state police, water infrastructure & lead lines. #DefundRepublicans www.uppermichiganssource.com/2025/08/29/m...

Republican Speaker of the Michigan House says he would have had a budget done in time if there was a provision saying he had to. But there’s not, so he didn’t. Tell Matt Hall to get to work — he shouldn’t need a law to force him to do what he was elected to do.

Even my House Republican colleagues believe they shouldn’t be paid for not presenting and passing a budget. 2 weeks ago they canceled session for the week. House Republicans would rather be on vacation than work this summer. Hold Republicans accountable — tell Republicans to get to work!

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

A two year old. A f*cking two year old U.S. CITIZEN.

I have a two year old — there is nothing dangerous, nothing scary about a two year old. And there is nothing legal about deporting a U.S. citizen.

This is what Trump’s brown shirts are doing with our tax dollars and in our name. It has to END.
