#IStandWithIlhan Using your platform to inflame hatred & endanger the life of anyone, let alone a member of Congress who has had multiple death threats against her, is reckless, irresponsible and dangerous, Mr. President. Context on Omar's remarks:

Happy Korematsu Day! On Jan 30 we celebrate the legacy of a civil rights hero, Fred Korematsu, who defied US government orders to report to a Japanese American internment camp in 1942. His court case was a landmark. He later received a Presidential Medal of Freedom #korematsuday

So this week we have Enbridge rods left in Straits of Mackinac, an old contaminated site partial collapse into the Detroit River, and erosion at the Lake Michigan shoreline because of high water levels (ahem. climate change). We are the Great Lakes State. We must do better.

We are in for the fight of our lives -- to make sure every person who can become pregnant can control their own bodies and futures. We have marched. We have rallied. We have voted. Now we must continue to march. We must organize and get people out to vote like never before. 1/

Thank you to the Taipei Economic and Culture Office in Chicago for facilitating Taiwan's donation of 100,000 masks to the State of Michigan! This will make such a huge impact on people's lives and we Michiganders are grateful for this positive relationship. @MOFA_Taiwan

Today I reintroduced legislation that would require car insurance companies to prioritize 3 driving factors when setting your car insurance rate: driving record, miles driven that year, driving experience. Every other factor would be weighted less. #mileg

"Losing access to clean water is coming at a time when COVID-19 cases are at their highest level ever in MI, higher than they were at the time Gov Whitmer issued her water restoration order on March 28. Water bills are piling up." - @mudowp @BridgeMichigan

Opinion | To protect all Michiganders, maintain access to clean water | Bridge Michigan

The Legislature should pass Senate Bill 241 now to protect the public’s health.

I've known Pete Martel for at least a decade. He is a good man, smart & talented leader, and someone who deserved this chance. People who are formerly incarcerated shouldn't be shut out of key positions. We should value the skills & experiences of qualified people like Pete!

CORRECTION: I made a motion to adjourn, to spare Michiganders for the time being, from laws that would make it harder for seniors, people with disabilities, and low income people to be able to have their vote be counted. Thanks to your 3 members who joined us in support.😉

I left the Capitol sad & disappointed tonight. I've left the Capitol feeling sad (or angry) many times before, but today was different. We should be fighting on the same team - to save lives, protect workers, help the most vulnerable. If a global pandemic can't teach us this...

Immigrants are human beings. Immigrants are deserving of dignity. Without immigrants, our country's agricultural sector, overall economy & healthcare system would crumble to a halt. P.S. Undocumented immigrants commit less crime than citizens.

Two committees within US Dept of Homeland Security say the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. They note that there is no evidence that any voting system was compromised or that votes were lost, deleted or changed. #ProtectTheResults
