I was thrilled to welcome @SecretaryPete to the Lansing area today! The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has been a game-changer for road construction in Michigan, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to show off our progress.
Very happy to see hostages released and the war ending. Big thanks to our friends and partners in Qatar who played a crucial role in today’s release of Israelis held hostage in Gaza. Grateful for their tireless efforts to bring everyone home and end the war.
I'm thrilled that Lansing will receive a $1 million grant to develop a plan to cap I-496! Building the freeway destroyed flourishing middle-class Black communities, and I'm grateful for investment from the Biden-Harris administration to help repair the rift.
NEWS: @SecretaryPete announced nearly $5 billion in grants for 560+ projects in all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories through seven priority programs funded through President Biden’s historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. https://t.co/3mnl85EMi3

I am so humbled and overwhelmed with emotion right now. It is an absolute honor and privilege that President Joe Biden selected me for the esteemed Presidential Medal of Freedom award. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that this kid from Lansing, MI would one day grow up and receive one of the highest civilian awards of the United States.
To be in the company of so many remarkable individuals is both humbling and inspiring. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to President Biden for his leadership and for recognizing the contributions of so many who are working to make a difference in our nation, especially inner cities of America, and across the world.
This award is not just mine; it belongs to everyone who has helped me become the person and businessman I am today—my parents Earvin Sr. and Christine, wife Cookie, my kids Andre, EJ and Elisa; my brothers and sisters, friends, mentors, and colleagues. It also belongs to everyone who has dedicated themselves to the causes of freedom, justice, and equality.
I accept this honor with a deep sense of responsibility. It serves as a reminder of the work still ahead and the change we can all help bring about! I promise to keep working to make a positive difference for our country and the world.

Building Lansing's I-496 destroyed flourishing Black middle-class communities. I'm grateful for the opportunity to sit down with @StreetsblogUSA to talk about it as we apply for Reconnecting America grants to repair the rift.
