In this year's budget, I am proud to have secured an over $10 million funding increase for school districts in my community. #mileg

Republicans wanted them out of this year's budget. House Democrats fought back and won. #mileg

My statement on the continuing resolution passed yesterday. While we aren't out of the woods yet, I am proud of House Democrats for standing together. Due to our efforts, I am confident the final budget will avoid many of the dangerous cuts proposed by House Republicans. #mileg

September is Kinship Care Month! This month, we recognize the grandparents, family friends, and more who raise their loved one's children. Thank you for helping keep families together 💙🫶 #KinshipCare

Today I hosted Saylee Nitin and Lakshmi Vadlamudi of the Hindu Community Relations Council as my guests on the House floor. Thank you to Saylee for giving today’s House invocation on behalf of the Bharatiya Temple in Troy. #mileg

Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday's community conversation in Clawson! #mileg

Last week, school districts across Oakland County sent out this pledge asking the legislature to pass a school aid budget that preserves funding for special education, free school meals, and other services that our students need. I completely agree and signed the pledge. #mileg

I will be holding my next Community Conversation on Monday, September 15 in Clawson. I want to hear from YOU about your vision for Michigan's future. If you haven't yet, please make your voice heard by taking the Michigan House Democrats' Vision Project survey.

Trump's tariffs and general incompetence are already destroying the blue-collar job market. And soon, his Medicaid cuts will start destroying the healthcare field. #mileg

Senate GOP leader Aric Nesbitt thinks he can pick on teachers and students in my community. Aric, Michiganders are tired of politicians like you who want to shred our freedoms and tell others what to think. Take Royal Oak's name out of your mouth and mind your own damn business. #mileg #resist

Speaker Matt Hall and his MI House Republicans want to check your child’s gender before they enter the bathroom. They also want to cut hundreds of millions of dollars from our school funding. I care about students, not this political nonsense. #mileg

The House Republican budget would mean:
Hospitals closing
Kids going hungry in school
Police off the streets
Sick moms and babies
Polluted water and air

In other words, Republican priorities!
#mileg

I voted NO on Matt Hall's cruel joke of a budget. Now we know why House Republicans blew past the July 1st deadline for getting a budget deal done: they were embarrassed to show their proposal to the public. It's a cruel attack on our people and our values. #mileg

House Republicans back Trump's disastrous tariffs despite the damage they're doing to family budgets. Thank Trump and his cheerleaders in Lansing for the largest tax increase in decades! #mileg #TariffsAreTaxes

I'm holding my next Community Conversation this Saturday in Troy. I hope to see you there!

Thank you to all who attended yesterday's town hall on the looming federal budget cuts. People aren't just angry about the coming cuts - they're scared about what it will mean for their loved ones. #mileg

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates Black freedom, resilience, and joy.

While progress has been made, the work for racial justice and equity is far from over.

Wishing all the dads, stepdads, granddads, uncles, and father figures a wonderful Father’s Day!

Tell the Department of Energy to Stop Attacking Civil Rights and Section 504 - DREDF Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund

Trump's Department of Energy wants to eliminate a decades-old rule that requires federally-funded buildings to be accessible to people with disabilities. I submitted a public comment against this cruel proposal and you should, too. #mileg #Save504 dredf.org/action-alert...

House Republicans just killed my resolution censuring Representative Schriver for his racist speech against Michiganders of color. Speaker Matt Hall defended him. And not a single House Republican signed onto my resolution.

Why? #mileg

I want to thank my House Democratic colleagues who supported my resolution to #DenounceHate, and Leader @ranjeevpuri.bsky.social for making this a priority. House Democrats are united in standing up to bullies.

My Republican colleague's racist remarks last week were disgusting and un-American. Rep Schriver must apologize and we must all call him out, including House Republicans. There is no place for racism in the Michigan legislature. #mileg #EndWhiteSupremacy

Example of fake message mimicking the MDOT website with big letters SCAM over it.

No, MDOT is not texting you about outstanding toll fees. MDOT doesn't even operate any toll roads. Don't click on any links in these messages - just delete them.

Have a beautiful Easter! 🐰🐣

The Trump admin just announced the largest tax increase in American history in the form of tariffs. Republicans want YOU to pay $5,000 more a year for your household's basic needs. Why? To finance tax cuts for the 1% and corporations. They're looking out for the super rich, not for you. #mileg

Wishing our Muslim friends a joyous 𝗘𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗹-𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗿! May this special day bring you blessings and happiness.

Hyperbaric bill proposed after child's death in Oakland County The Oxford Center in Troy remains closed following the death of five-year-old Thomas Cooper in a hyperbaric chamber explosion, with its founder and three employees facing criminal charges. In response...

I am working with @stephanielilychang.bsky.social to help ensure facilities are properly regulated and follow safety protocol, to help make sure accidents like this never happen again.

Securing funding for a cricket field at Boulan Park has been one of my proudest accomplishments in office. Very soon, Troy's large and growing cricket-playing community will have a field fit for this exciting sport. Can't wait to watch the first match! www.facebook.com/share/p/15s1...
