@MalloryMcMorrow Refreshing to hear a politician say she doesn't have THE answer but is willing to work with people and try different things.

Can vintage license plates help fix the roads?

People are tired of hearing the same old ideas regurgitated. As an industrial designer, I was trained to explore unexpected solutions to problems, and I bring that approach to legislation.

@MalloryMcMorrow Social media thrives and makes money by promoting anger and hate. Mallory is not one of them which is one among many reasons I support her.

Our children deserve better than leaders who give a stage to hate and tear people down. They deserve leaders who focus on the real issues facing families every day instead of throwing a birthday party and handing to the microphone to a man who spewed a vile racist lie about Michelle Obama - all while the people he promised to fight for are hurting.

Mike Rogers wants you to see the Carhartt jacket and the shop class ads. They’re spending millions to make sure you do.

Not the part where he praised Trump for threatening to keep the Gordie Howe bridge closed. Not the part where he praised Trump after he said, “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

It’s on all of us to be clear-eyed about this - Rogers will always work for Trump, not for Michiganders.

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

BREAKING: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez destroys far-right Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito after he goes full fascist and announces his belief that Congress has "no authority" to regulate the court, meaning that he thinks the justices are America's dictators.

This one starts off disturbing and turns hilarious after AOC gets her punches in...

Angry that Democrats are pushing to institute an ethics standard for Supreme Court justices, Alito gave an interview in which he flaunted his lawlessness.

"I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it," said Alito without shame. "No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court — period."

It absolutely must be noted that Alito's own corruption has been completely exposed by now. We know for a fact that he accepted at least one luxury fishing trip from a Republican billionaire who brought cases before the court. He is bought and paid for.

AOC, never one to shy from a fight with the fascists who have taken over the Republican Party, pounced immediately.

"What a surprise, guy who is supposed to enforce checks and balances thinks checks shouldn’t apply to him. Too bad!," said Ocasio-Cortez.

"Corruption and abuse of power must be stopped, no matter the source. In fact, the court should be *most* subject to scrutiny, bc it is unelected & life appointed," she added.

Soon after AOC, followed up with a brutally hilarious jab.

"Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be 'I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not,' she said.

She added that the opinion would be "boosted by some billionaire who secretly thinks voting rights should only belong to landed gentry."

Well said AOC. These justices cannot be allowed to rule over us. We fought a Revolutionary War to rid ourselves of monarchs.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the Supreme Court MUST be held accountable — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

In 1955, Mamie Till insisted the casket of her son, Emmett, be open so the world could see how grotesquely her son, 14, has been beaten & mutilated by a white mob in MS.
It was a watershed event in the civil rights movement.
I wonder how Americans would react if they similarly were confronted with images of innocents torn apart by AR-15s?

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Have you heard the news? 👀

In Michigan, we've:
💰 Repealed the Retirement Tax
✊ Restored Workers’ Rights
🏳️‍🌈 Expanded the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act
🔒 Signed 2 commonsense gun safety bills

We'll continue working together to get big things done for Michiganders.

Kevin McCarthy is LIVID that Social Security has increased 8.7% under President Biden. He would HATE if you retweeted #HandsOffSocialSecurity and got it trending number one.

@Nnedi I went through the same thing with Game of Thrones. Got really sick of people telling me I HAVE TO WATCH IT! Sorry but gratuitous rape is just not entertaining.

Thank you @POTUS for this incredible honor.

One of the most interesting museums in America can be found in Dearborn: the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and Greenfield Village. A must see if you are in the great state of Michigan.

@ANNELAMOTT Slow Horses and Three Pines.

Absolutely worth your time.

[Dana Nessel @dananessel]

With his nonexistent prosecutorial experience, his efforts to overturn the will of voters, problematic professional history & vow to prosecute abortion with NO EXCEPTIONS, my opponent Matt DePerno is far too dangerous, ethically challenged & unqualified to serve as MI AG.
