Tom Barrett is doing it in DC. Michigan Republicans are doing it in Lansing. Making massive cuts to public services and threatening to shutdown the government. #WeWillWin #Michigan #Congress

I'm thrilled to announce the endorsement of Sunrise MSU, an organization near and dear to my heart. Their work to face the climate crisis and organize students on campus is absolutely essential. Students will be heard in this election!

Donald Trump himself admits to sharing "young women" workers with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump says that the notorious sex trafficker was keen on taking workers from his Mar-a-Lago "spa" to go and work for him. These connections raise urgent questions about the full extent of their twisted relationship.

Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, & disappears people into death camps—NRA is silent. Know why? Because NRA was never about firearm protection—but about white supremacy protection.

As long as ICE targets mostly Black & brown people, NRA is happy

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.
