Shirkey has his priorities straight...

Supports the maskless mandate & led the crusade to strip Gov. Whitmer of her emergency powers so his bottom line can increase...now he supports stripping ACA & preventive HC coverage from Michiganders during a pandemic!
How do the people of MI really matter to Mike Shirkey?

He's all good with ripping HC away from his voters...oh yeah...Vote to pass a bill that limits the power of the governor to proclaim a state of emergency...Did he limit Snyder when Flint water was poisoned?
Shirkey was rated 0% by the Clean Water Action Michigan..
Sheesh! He doesn't really support labor unions!

Trump Admin protected businesses, not people.

Nursing homes are increasingly seeking to shield themselves from a raft of wrongful death lawsuits from the families of Covid-19 victims by invoking new liability protections they received from Trump Admin.

politico.com/news/2021/05/2…
About 200 lawsuits in nearly half the states have already been filed, and the industry says it’s bracing for many more in the coming months given the virus’ outsize toll on residents and staff.

175 Cowardly House Republicans chose not to "back the Blue" to investigate & hold those responsible for enlisting & inciting the Jan 6th attack.

We won't let them ever forget...neither will Americans & the world who watched in horror,
The Capitol Police aren't forgetting what happened.

Looks like Kevin McCarthy & Mitch McConnell are not "Backing the Blue" after all.

If those are not held accountable for enlisting & inciting January 6th attack...history will repeat itself.

Who/what are Kevin & Mitch covering up?

They're putting more lives in danger/harms way.

We must have a January 6th Commission @AlexPadilla4CA

Who knew?
