#Voting starts TODAY, #Michigan! I voted this afternoon and voting is available for the next 4️⃣0️⃣ days. Pro tip: when you return your ballot, campaigns see that you already voted and stop mailing and texting you, so save your candidates some money & save yourself some sanity and #VoteEarly! #BeAVoter

Medicare for All means we will no longer be nickeled and dimed by corporations who exist specifically to hold our healthcare dollars and pay out as little as possible.

Good news: Michiganders can still vote by mail! Reminder: Michigan pays for the postage and I was proud to vote YES for the bill enabling that. Absentee ballots start going out next week. If you want one, request it online, as well as checking your voter registration: www.Michigan.gov/vote #BeAVoter

If you found it shocking that Trump might collect a settlement from his own IRS, channeling tax dollars directly into his pocket, the alternative he's now pondering could be worse. Senior editor @michaelmechanic.bsky.social explains.

Suing his own IRS? Creating a $1.8 billion slush fund? What the hell is Trump trying to pull?
Whatever it is, it's staggeringly corrupt, and possibly very dangerous.

This aligns well with our multi-state effort to get the State-Based Universal Health Care Act passed to allow for state-level #MedicareForAll style programs (like #MiCare here in #Michigan). We're trying to get 50 state-level bills introduced in early 2027 to add to the pressure for #M4A
