I want to thank every Michigander who made their voice heard today. Exercising the right to vote and participating in our democracy is what makes America great. Four years ago, it was Michigan’s diverse coalition that came together to reject Donald Trump’s MAGA extremism and sent me and Kamala to the White House. Because of Michiganders, we’ve been able to work hand in hand with Governor Whitmer and the incredible Democratic leaders in Michigan’s congressional delegation to deliver enormous progress. I was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with UAW workers last year as they led the fight for the wages and benefits they deserve. We took on Big Pharma and are lowering the cost of prescription drugs for nearly 2 million Michigan seniors. We’re investing in our world-class auto industry and are finally making big corporations pay their fair share after Trump rigged the economy for special interests and gave handouts to his wealthy friends. And we’re fixing our crumbling bridges and roads while creating thousands of good-paying, union jobs right here in Michigan after Trump shipped them overseas. For all of this progress, there is so much left to do. Donald Trump is threatening to drag us even further into the past as he pursues revenge and retribution. He proudly brags that he is the reason Roe v. Wade was overturned in this country. Because of Donald Trump, women’s lives are at risk, doctors face the prospect of criminal penalties for doing their jobs, and families desperately trying to have children are having access to fertility treatments ripped away. Now, Donald Trump wants to ban abortion nationwide—including here in Michigan. You’ve heard me say many times it’s never a good bet to bet against the United States of America. It’s never a good bet to bet against Michiganders either. This fight for our freedoms, for working families, and for Democracy is going to take all of us coming together. I know that we will.

A Soros-funded legal nonprofit is representing 8 Capitol police officers whom I’ve never met and never encountered on January 6th to sue me for their alleged injuries. Today we received their responses to our first line of questions for my defense. None of these people were working on the side of the building where I temporary stood outside on the grounds. One of the police officers was in his car in Maryland when I was on Capitol grounds- and he NEVER WENT TO THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6th! He’s one of the 8 suing me for assault and battery. (BTW- I was never accused of assault and battery in my criminal case, and of course I didn’t commit any form of assault or battery). This is what is happening in Washington DC. This is January 6th.
