Not nearly enough discussion of how the Trump indictment points to racism in Trump's conspiracy. His conspiracy complained of >100,000 fake votes in Detroit, an Atlanta election worker handling ballots like they were "vials of heroin," that 30,000 noncitizens had voted in Arizona
Just a really great profile of @SarahAnthony517
Senator Sarah Anthony, a Lansing Democrat, has made her mark in Michigan politics. Not only is she first Black woman to lead the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, but she helped to usher in the state's historic $82 billion budget and the first D... mlive.com/politics/2023/07/m…

Go, @ltgovgilchrist!
The Soo Locks play a crucial role in Michigan's economy. They provide thousands of jobs and facilitate millions in trade each year.
This new Lock is just one example of how we're rebuilding Michigan's critical infrastructure.

Today, @GovWhitmer signed the bipartisan education budget for FY24 that makes the highest state per-student investment in Michigan history, ensures all public school students get free breakfast and lunch, and takes the first step toward free pre-K for all 4-year-olds.

Hey @StellantisNA, your modified @Chrysler Pacifica is an excellent van for transporting individuals in wheelchairs. My parents bought one for my brother.
Could you work with a dealer to donate one to MSU shooting survivor Nate Statly?

Today, Governor Whitmer signed our two rail grade separation bills into law.
For decades, train delays have cost Downriver residents their lives, livelihoods, and a lot of wasted time. Our legislation will finally update our infrastructure to meet the needs of our communities.

Legislative director for Whitmer and former State Senator Curtis Hertel Jr. has filed to succeed Elissa Slotkin in her Lansing-based seat.
With the support of Slotkin, Whitmer, and Stabenow, Hertel is likely to cruise through the primary, and may face Tom Barrett in November.

This week @Vote4Morse and I reintroduced legislation to expand our state’s Bottle Bill to plastic waters bottles and all other non-carbonated beverages except milk containers. This would promote recycling and help keep bottles and cans out of landfills.

My EV charging bill just passed the House with no fewer than 100 votes! This bill will unlock millions in federal funding for the building of EV charging infrastructure all across the state. Next stop - the Senate! #mileg #demsdeliver

BREAKING: Our #MajorityForThePeople just passed a fiscally responsible, equitable #BudgetForThePeople that prioritizes education, public health & safety, the economy & more. We're making once-in-a-generation investments in MI families & strengthening our state for years to come.

Democrats are just over here passing amazing legislation to allow Michigan the power to protect or precious dunes, rivers and lakes and undoing some bad old Republican lame duck shenanigans. But it’s budget week, so almost no one will notice. 🤷🏻♂️ – at Lansing, MI

Did you donate to a Democratic candidate for MI House last cycle?
If so, you helped make this happen ⬇️

Let's go, @JeremyAllenMoss & @MISenDems ☀️
After advancing early ballot processing bills this morning, Michigan Senate Elections Chairman Jeremy Moss says a set of transparency reforms are next on his committee’s agenda.
He listed campaign finance, implementing financial disclosure + FOIA. #mileg
