The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.

#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

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.
