Last week, we honored Michigan’s first responders—those who risk their lives to keep us safe. MI Senate Democrats are fighting for the issues that matter to them: fair workloads, respect for their service, and policies that ensure they make it home safely.

WATCH: Hunger isn’t a partisan issue and never should be. Sen. Sue Shink sends a clear message on the Senate floor: the federal government must do its job and fully fund SNAP now before millions of families suffer.

WATCH: Sen. Mallory McMorrow calls out DC Republicans for choosing to weaponize food for families that need it in order to score political points. It's time to put an end to the chaos and deliver the basic needs Michiganders and families across the country need to survive.

WATCH: On the Senate floor, Sen. Sean McCann urges leaders in DC to do the job they were elected to do - fully fund the food assistance programs millions rely on to eat and protect people from devastating surges in their health care costs, because we can and must do both.

WATCH: Sen. Jeff Irwin slams DC Republicans for refusing to fund food assistance for hungry families while lining the pockets of billionaires and foreign leaders. It's time for the federal government to step up and and protect the 1.4 million Michiganders who rely on SNAP benefits to eat.

WATCH NOW: Sen. Rosemary Bayer and MI Senate Dems passed a resolution calling on Congress and the Trump Administration to stop politicizing basic human needs, to fully fund SNAP for families here in Michigan and nationwide now.

WATCH: Sen. Darrin Camilleri calls out Congress and the President for failing the 1.4 million Michiganders who rely on food assistance to feed their families. Today, MI Senate Dems passed a resolution urging Republicans in DC to fully fund SNAP before millions go hungry in just a matter of days.

Today, Leader Winnie Brinks called on Congressional Republicans and the President to fund SNAP in full before 1.4 million Michiganders have the benefits they depend on to eat cut off by the Trump Administration.

ICYMI: Yesterday, the Senate Health Policy Committee heard from Michiganders on what losing the ACA premium tax credit would mean for our state. The effects would be devastating - sending insurance premiums through the roof, making healthcare access more expensive and less accessible for everyone.

As we kick off Health Care Quality Week, Leader Winnie Brinks and the MI Senate Dems remain committed to ensuring Michiganders can access the care they need, when they need it — even in the face of uncertainty and unprecedented attacks by Republicans in Washington.

ICYMI: We didn’t just patch problems in our road funding plan — we laid the foundation for Michigan’s future with smart, sustainable investments and long-term solutions to ensure Michiganders get where they need to go.
