it should look like the future you are dreaming

@RepValDemings @PBS just showed a documentary. It should be required viewing for everyone.

Thanks to the work we’ve done together, abortion remains legal in Michigan. We’re fighting every damn day to keep it that way.

60/ We’re over it, Republicans. A new America is being birthed from the ashes of the Reagan Revolution and you can’t stop it much longer. https://t.co/GgpuKxSHua

When I filed a lawsuit to protect abortion rights in Michigan, I heard often that it was too soon or not necessary. But we anticipated the urgency for the Michigan Supreme Court to act, so we got to work.

Good thing I didn’t listen to the critics. And I’m not backing down.

@TheRealHoarse Absolutely yes.

The only thing that can stop a bad politician with a vote is a good citizen with a vote.

My heart goes out to the families and small businesses impacted by the tornado and severe weather in Gaylord. To the entire Gaylord community—Michigan is with you. We will do what it takes to rebuild.

Since 2020 election officials on both sides of the aisle have faced an unprecedented barrage of threats and harassment for doing their jobs with integrity.

This is a five-alarm fire. If we do not protect election officials from violence and harassment, we will lose our democracy

ALERT: Michigan Court of Claims judge suspends enforcement of the state's 1931 abortion ban, which could be instated if Roe is overturned. Says Planned Parenthood has "strong likelihood" of winning an ongoing legal challenge over the law.

"This shouldn't have happened."

Those in the GOP and right-wing media who work subtly and overtly to radicalize their supporters must be held accountable.

[Jocelyn Benson @JocelynBenson]

We’ve got a lot of work to do to make sure every citizen knows this year’s elections will determine the future of who we are as Americans.

That’s why we all must spend every day through November 8 talking to voters about what’s at stake: our democracy, our freedoms, our future.

@MeidasTouch "Republican opponent Matt DePerno saying he will prosecute women & their doctors for abortion with NO EXCEPTIONS for rape,incest,or medical emergencies. Women in Michigan should be terrified right now. Vote like your life depends on it."Dana Nessel

NPR reached out to the NRA and provided it with transcripts of the audio we used in this story. To protect our source and in keeping with prior practice, we did not provide the tape. An NRA spokesperson called the story a "hit piece" https://t.co/Jy4VmF7utr

Joe Manchin represents 0.5% of the population. How about we don't let him single-handedly dictate what's best for the other 99.5%?
