She’s getting stronger, better and tougher through this process (and she was already one of the toughest and strongest political leaders in the country).
Dear MAGA,
Imagine you go to a store to buy an avocado, and it usually costs $4.
But because of Donald Trump's tariffs on Mexico, the store has to pay the government a fee, so now the avocado costs $5.
The store will pass that extra cost onto you, so you end up paying more.
Tariffs make things you buy more expensive.
I’ll never forget how some of those who claimed to be his “friends” turned their backs on Joe Biden when he needed them most.
Still pisses me off. He deserved better.
Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services said during the campaign that he would stop research on drug development and infectious diseases for 8 years.
What could possibly go wrong?
I appreciate many people reaching out to express support.
As a woman of color who grew up in America, hearing people use racial slurs is unfortunately not at all a new experience for me.
However, in my almost ten years in the Michigan legislature, no one until today used the N word in a legislative committee hearing.
Gaveling that man down was the easiest quick decision I've made in a while. Racist slurs are completely unacceptable, especially in our state capitol.
The election of Trump is emboldening hate across our country and we must shut that hate down wherever we can.
As a mom of two young girls of color, I truly hope one day they will live in a society where hate has no place to thrive. Let's make it happen.
Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but if a bank teller were under an ethics investigation for having sex with minors, but then quit right before the boss could see the report, they probably wouldn’t hire the guy back and put him in charge of the entire fucking bank.
Right?
6-7 million people didn’t vote for Harris because of Gaza and Israel.
Now they are complaining about Trump being worse on the issue.
I have no fucking words..
"Trump team skipping background checks on some cabinet picks"
"Trump team using private companies instead of FBI to vet some picks"

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
So, you’re driving around in your F1-50-bucks-left-in-your-bank account, honking, shouting shit about “owning the Libs”, blaring country music and letting your THREE American flags on the back gate get ripped to shreds by wind and weather because you’ve finally “stuck it to the elites” by electing a billionaire who has just tasked two other billionaires with taking shit you rely on away, so that they, can make more billions.
Do I have that about right?
I grew up in a family of medical scientists. I represent a district of healthcare professionals. RFK, Jr. is a conspiracist & quack who threatens the health of Americans. He’s not simply angling for more sunshine & exercise (no one disagrees with that). He seeks to overturn evidence-driven, peer-reviewed research on medicines & more. I will fight back in Washington to protect the integrity of the FDA, the NIH, and the CDC.
MASS LAYOFFS EXPECTED AT CNN—RATINGS PLUNGE AT MSNBC
Younger people aren’t watching televised media, and legacy outlets lost the rest of us by ditching real journalism. We stood by as they boosted Trump. Election night—the final straw!
A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Blue state attorneys general are planning to fight Trump:
In Washington state, Attorney General Bob Ferguson's team has studied Trump's campaign promises and Project 2025 to prepare lawsuits to block federal actions.
In Arizona, Attorney General Kris Mayes said she "can't imagine a single Democratic attorney general in this country that won't be involved in fighting unconstitutional behavior." https://t.co/FT3XQFNUgs
