It was an honor to share the stage with the Song Foundation and Michigan Nonprofit Association for the Detroit Philanthropy event at #MPC26. The everchanging federal landscape is causing real harm to people and communities. Nonprofits are trusted leaders and essential advocates.

The Trump Admin claimed that #SNAP benefits aren't available for Nov 2025 b/c SNAP’s “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.” This stands in opposition to the law & prior practice, incl. by the Admin itself. @michleague.bsky.social @centeronbudget.bsky.social

Food isn't a luxury. People need #SNAP and food banks can't make up the difference. "...when you pull $15 billion a month out of a national economy and expect charity to step in and nobody miss a beat. That’s unrealistic.” - Phil Knight @michleague.bsky.social #Shutdown #ShutdownCrisis

Michigan's budget does make some progress, but there are still some major gaps, including early childhood funding. Cuts to Michigan's Great Start system are especially alarming. #MiLeg @michleague.bsky.social #MIBudget2026

As you go to bed tonight, the House Committee has scheduled a 1 am hearing to vote on taking away healthcare from millions of Americans. If this was popular, they wouldn’t be doing it in the middle of the night.

Under the cover of night, the House is planning radical cuts to health care. People’s access to care will be terminated. The loss of coverage will make people sicker. And people will lose their lives. The time to act is now. This isn’t hyperbole.
