Today, I eliminated the tampon tax to lower prices for Michiganders. Repealing this unfair tax has been a long time in the making, but this is the year that we pulled everyone together to get it done.
Sometimes it’s cat videos that get me through a long and stressful day. She kept observing how to get the water out so she can do it on her own 🥺 #CatsOfTwitter#cats

No ICU beds remain available in Trauma Service Area O, which treats patients in Hays and Travis counties. COVID-19 conditions have strained emergency room services. Doctors want residents to know where to go when in need of medical attention. @bswhealth
How often do women know they are pregnant prior to the 6 week mark? Does the bill give these victims enough time to process their trauma and take action? And more importantly, why do women have to have a traumatic experience to feel validated for getting an abortion? #AbortionBan
