If tonight’s news is true, Michigan’s 1931 state law banning abortion would snap back into effect, making any abortion illegal in our state — even if the mom will die, or if she was raped by a family member. No exceptions. 1/2

Come on, Mike. In your 14 years in Congress, you co-sponsored FOUR bills — the last one with Jim Jordan in 2013 — that would have the same effect as the Alabama Supreme Court’s IVF ruling, making it impossible for millions of couples to have a family. You don’t get to run away…

My mom was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer in 2009 – and she didn’t have health insurance. She had let it lapse and paid some other bills. For years, the insurance companies had gouged her because she happened to have a pre-existing condition.

This one I’m particularly proud of: I’m grateful to have the endorsement of @GabbyGiffords and @GIFFORDS_org . Gun violence is a uniquely American disease – and one that takes an immeasurable toll on communities, families, and our kids.

In today’s debate, @RepMikeBishop claimed he supports protections for those with pre-existing conditions. But let’s be clear: his votes gutted those protections for people like my mom, who had breast cancer as a young woman and struggled for years to afford care. #MI08

Today I joined @KamalaHarris in Detroit as she talked about the importance of getting vaccinated. It’s critically important, not just for your own health, but to help prevent strains like the Delta variant from spreading through our communities.

Three years ago today I was sitting in my living room in Holly, Michigan watching live CNN coverage of a Rose Garden ceremony celebrating the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Senator McCain would later go on to cast the deciding vote to kill the repeal.

JUST IN: Toyota today raised the wages for all its U.S. factory workers, I've confirmed for @axios . This obviously comes immediately following the Detroit Three's settlements with the UAW, which may try to organize Toyota factories next.

For an '80s NBA fan, it doesn’t get better than getting out the vote with MSU legend @MagicJohnson in Lansing. After a career of model sportsmanship, he’s helping us get to the polls for this critical election. Thanks, Magic! #GoGreen .

Today was the first day of "orientation" for new members of Congress. It was great to get together with fellow Michigan Democrats to talk about what we're going to do to prioritize our state and the Midwest in Congress.

Michiganders spoke loud and clear last month--they are sick of political parlor games and want their elected officials to get to work. Which is why the antics during the Michigan lame duck session both undermines the system and the will of the voters.
