#Michigan #Republicans introduced bills today to "make discrimination legal again" and undo progress we made last term to protect #LGBT Michiganders. We don't have time for this crap!

💯💯💯 the general public - and a 60% majority of voters! - want #MedicareForAll and big, structural change, not incremental nibbling like a public option. Overhaul the system now!! #HealthcareForAll #MiCare #SouthPark

More bills coming soon to protect Michiganders from the lawless overreaches of the Trump Administration #UnmaskICE #Lawless #Overreach #Trump #SecretPolice #Michigan #MiLeg

🚑🚒🚓 It was great to meet the campers in the 2nd Female First Responders camp in Jackson last week! High school girls from the area attended and tried their hand at working in fire, police, and EMS, and now, many are considering careers as first responders! We need you!! 💪🏻👮🏻‍♀️👩🏾‍🚒 #FirstResponders

#HousingOverHandcuffs #HealthcareOverHandcuffs I'm appalled at the latest Trump EO criminalizing homelessness and addiction 😤 The parallels to 1930s Germany are so blatant #Homeless #Homelessness #Healthcare #Addiction #SubstanceUseDisorder #Outrageous #SyringeAccess #HarmReduction #MentalIllness

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

Exclusive | RFK Jr. to Oust Advisory Panel on Cancer Screenings, HIV Prevention Drugs The task force determines which preventive services insurers must cover at no cost to patients.

MSU to lay off 100+ workers due to SNAP-ED cuts LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Michigan State University is set to lay off more than 100 workers — due to massive cuts in federal funding for the SNAP-ED program. Those cuts came with the enac…

Trump's cuts just cost 100 Michiganders their jobs. SNAP-ED is a successful program that helps food aid recipients learn how to make the most of their benefits AND make the healthiest choices. How does cutting this program make America healthy? www.wlns.com/top-stories/...

As I said a month ago:

Yes, RFK Jr. wants sick Americans to die.

That’s what MAHA means: Kill off sick people and the average living American is healthy by definition.

It’s eugenics pure & simple.

Michigan Republicans say they stand with Trump, backing policies that raise costs for working families and cut school meals, which save parents $850 per child. Michigan Democrats are focused on passing a budget that puts money back in people's pockets!

Meanwhile, Dems are fighting to protect things that our families rely on, like school meals

🖍📓📚✏️ As parents eye back-to-school shopping, they're weighing family budgets. Thanks to MAGA Republicans in DC and Lansing, families are making decisions to:

❌️🍞🥛🥗 forego groceries
❌️🏈🏀⚾️ skip after-school programs, clubs, and sports

These cmte hearings are just a distraction from the fact that Speaker Hall couldn't pass a full budget on time like the Senate Dems did. House Republicans do not have the votes and would rather take money from hard-working Michiganders and give it to their billionaire buddies, like the #DeVos family

Instead of talking about backfilling Medicaid or ensuring as many people as possible fulfill Republican-imposed paperwork requirements to keep medical coverage, we're having hearings on documents that are already publicly available 🫠 house.mi.gov/legislativel...

Here is CBO's final score of the Republican megabill. It incudes their estimate that there will be 10 million more people uninsured. But, we don't yet have any details of coverage losses by year or by type of coverage.

Quote graphic for Michigan State Representative Carrie Rheingans, who serves the 47th House District. Next to a picture of Representative Rheingans, her quote reads, “Michigan needs investments that puts people first — not the House GOP’s obsession with defunding schools, health care, and critical programs to line the pockets of their billionaire donors. Our kids, working families, and seniors can’t wait.”

House Republicans had one job: pass a revised budget that funds schools, health care, and programs Michigan families depend on. They blew the July 1 deadline — deliberately. Then, just days later, their allies in Congress passed a brutal bill cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid and .. 1/2

It also covers two-thirds of all nursing home stays.
