All across Michigan, temps are on the rise.

As we push through this heatwave, here’s some tips to stay cool and stay safe.

Pride is not just a month. Authenticity doesn’t stop on the 30th, visibility doesn’t hide away till next June — supporting the LGBTQ+ community never stops.

As we close out Pride Month, the fight for equality continues. To LGBTQ+ Michiganders, know you are accepted 24/7, 365 🏳️‍🌈

Ensuring public safety takes all of us. When we work together on commonsense gun violence prevention, invest in community safety, and support for our law enforcement — we keep each other safe.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Clinton Township native, Emily Barker, who lost her life while fighting a wildfire in Colorado.

My condolences go out to Emily’s loved ones. Her bravery in the face of danger kept people safe and will not soon be forgotten.

Michigan’s elections are safe and secure, and any attempt to suggest otherwise is an attempt to take away Michiganders’ constitutional right to vote and invade their privacy.

I want to thank @MIAttyGen Nessel and @MichSoS Benson for standing up for the rights of Michigan voters.

[Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel @MIAttyGen]

@miattygen Dana Nessel has secured two victories defending state elections and protecting the privacy of Michigan voters from the Trump administration. Read about both victories: https://t.co/rLjGEbhtBy
