Thanks to President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill", eligibility for the SNAP food assistance program is being restricted starting today. If you're on the Food Assistance Program in Michigan, this could affect you.

I also introduced this resolution to raise awareness of a state resource that provides qualifying adoptive parents with cash and medical assistance. If you or a loved one might qualify, check out the Adoption and Guardianship Assistance Office today. #mileg

This week I introduced a resolution declaring November as Adoption Month. People sometimes tell my husband and I that we're special because we adopted, but I disagree. The truth is that our daughters adopted us. They gave us the family we longed for and the life and love we cherish #mileg

Unsurprisingly, the Republican-controlled House refused to adopt my resolution defending Michigan's naturalized citizens. After all, Speaker Hall defended a member of his caucus who claimed that Michiganders of non-European descend cannot be loyal to the US. #mileg #resist

Today I am calling on the US Department of Justice to end their targeting and demonization of peaceful naturalized citizens. Naturalized citizens are NOT second-class citizens, and I will not stand idly by while the Trump administration tries to take away their rights. #mileg #resist

Thanks to pressure from Democratic governors, Trump has agreed to obey the law and fund SNAP throughout his shutdown. But he's only agreed to fund it at half its normal level, because he wants as many Americans as possible to starve while he builds his ballroom. #trumpshutdown #mileg

The Trump regime's decision to halt SNAP benefits will mean thousands of children and seniors across Michigan going hungry. I am outraged for them. And what makes this situation all the more outrageous is that it was completely preventable. (1/3) #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
