Democrats in Michigan hold power in both the state's House and Senate for the first time in 40 years. And, on the first day of the new session they proposed ending the state's right-to-work law, restoring a prevailing wage policy, and repealing Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban.

GOP bill to defund IRS enforcement should be called “The Billionaire Tax Cheat Relief Act”

This Labor Day, we stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers fighting to unionize.

Corporations shouldn't be allowed to write off anti-union activity on their taxes. It's time Starbucks allowed workers to unionize and Congress passed the #NoTaxBreaksForUnionBusting Act!

@MargaridaJorg17 said, "The ability to get access to affordable healthcare, that's actually affordable, is a fundamental quality of life issue. Regardless of where you live or age, EVERYONE should have access to equitable healthcare" #OutInFrontWithAnnette https://t.co/H6eV6VUsXz

The 5 largest drug corporations spent at least $150 million to try and stop Democrats’ efforts to negotiate and lower drug prices.

[Lower Drug Prices Now @peopleb4pharma]

Congress has passed the #InflationReductionAct.

With measures empowering Medicare to negotiate for #LowerDrugPricesNow, lowering out-of-pocket Rx costs for seniors, and making tax-dodging corporations #PayWhatTheyOwe, this bill is one for the history books.

[The Clean Slate Initiative @CleanSlate_Init]

[Lower Drug Prices Now @peopleb4pharma]

BREAKING NEWS: The Senate just PASSED the #InflationReductionAct, historic legislation that takes on #BigPharma greed and puts patients over profits.

Insulin is outrageously expensive for thousands of people who need it to stay alive and 43 Republicans in Congress just voted to keep it that way. They narrowed the $35/month insulin cap to exclude people with private insurance.

[Unrig Our Economy @UnrigOurEconomy]

43 Republican senators just voted against capping the price of insulin.

43 Republican senators just made it clear they care more about the bottom line of big drug companies who manufacture insulin than the millions of Americans who depend on it.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Kansas voters have rejected a constitutional amendment that would have allowed the Legislature to further restrict abortion access in the state.

The vote was the first statewide referendum on abortion since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/c4Mziu46Ho
