Today in #mileg - we were given approximately 20 minutes to review a budget bill that cuts school funding in Michigan by $5.1B. To the kids in the gallery today, I am profoundly sorry you watched the House GOP vote to defund your school.

PS: I’m fine w/ govt transparency, efficiency & delivering better services. But when massive wholesale changes affecting millions are done without warning, leaving citizens & others in this world without homes, food, financial stability, or health care - it’s reckless & inhumane.

I don’t mind healthy policy debates- they are helpful. I mind alienating allies. I mind indiscriminate firings of thousands of workers. I mind creating needless suffering in the name of American dominance. That’s not leading. It’s bullying on a global stage. We are better than that.

I’m not happy about withdrawing from @who.int or the Human Rights Council or MANY of the things this administration has done & I won’t pretend to be. News flash: humanitarian aid slows illegal immigration, stabilizes global conflicts, reduces drug & human trafficking & does in fact help the US. 3/

The President spewed partisan rhetoric, degraded Democrats, made up some crap about curing a disease that would wipe nations out, & then expected those on the left to thank him for it. That’s a gaslighting, middle school bully mindset. 2/

I admit I am biased. But this is a Joint Session of Congress, not a campaign speech. Removing a sitting member of Congress for rightfully calling this out is utter bullshit. 1/

Oh look. Our country’s executive is ignoring scientific research, putting a corporate timber lobbyist in charge, & destroying the environment. What a shocker. Enjoy your wildfires and polluted water!

I will not celebrate hardworking Americans losing their job & benefits, nor be callous or indifferent to a family facing bankruptcy or eviction. These are our families, neighbors and friends. These are people who chose a life a service to their country - and this is no way to repay that. 3/3

These are often middle class fathers and mothers, veterans, young folks just starting out - and in roles like research, cybersecurity, and education. Will they find themselves on unemployment? Medicaid? Out on the streets? Nobody knows…because this hasn’t been thought through. 2/3

The number of people telling other hard working federal employees that those fired should be glad because of how much money taxpayers will save astounds me. The lack of empathy and compassion for families that suddenly find themselves without a paycheck and healthcare hits hard. 🧵1/3

The “Happy Camper” expression is a timeless look. Persistent throughout the ages, it’s most commonly found on the faces of annoyed teens wishing they were anywhere else. Like “Mooooooomm, I literally I think I might collapse under the weight of my own angst.” Or so she was thinking. Probably.

"Over 200,000 students with special needs could lose access to $533 million in federal funding that helps pay for their education." Thank you @kellybreenmi.bsky.social for joining us to make the danger of a Trump-McMahon agenda clear. Our kids and our communities can't afford this radical plan!

My husband was right. It’s warmer in Alaska than it is in Novi. I hate it when he’s right.

Shout out to our MI Senate Democrats for staying up all night to pass bills that will help Michiganders. They deserve capes. And gift baskets full of donuts and coffee and booze and puppies. I’m so grateful they passed our bipartisan school safety package! Thank you! #mileg @senpolehanki.bsky.social

Weird how this year the “Tin Foil Hat Flat Earth Brigade” is strangely silent on election fraud.

I’ve been on Bluesky a whole half day & not once has a random guy wished me harm, called me names, or threatened to take away my right to vote. This is really refreshing.
