Normally I wouldn’t preemptively post a response to the response to the State of the Union, but after reading Sarah Huckabee-Sanders’ remarks on Republicans in a “culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight”…ma’am this was nearly a *year* ago

Context
Michigan proved that people are tired of politicians trying to convince them that all their problems are somebody else’s fault. Stop attacking trans kids and start putting up actual plans to help people. Governing is hard. Scapegoating is easy. And hate won’t win.
We’re making a bet that there’s a better way forward, one that builds on the President’s belief in the soul of the nation. After tonight’s #StateOfTheUnion keep your eyes on us in Michigan. America, we got this. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Kristen McDonald-Rivet won a grueling election in a true swing district. The people of her district and Michigan got an incredible legislator and a true expert on issues like the EITC. But because she’s a “marginal,” she - and her kids and family - have to deal with this:
What’s he trying to do? Make her uncomfortable, catch her offguard, push her until she says something so he has a clip on camera he can use against her. Because pushing people into a “gotcha” moment or to smear them is how to “win” her seat back…
…as if that “seat” isn’t a person. A person who deserves to do her job and go out to dinner with her kids without being followed, filmed, and yelled at. Michigan, Kristen, and her constituents deserve better.

Yesterday, our colleagues in the @MI_LBC held a press conference in the wake of the killing of Tyre Nichols to renew calls for police reform. Last term, a bipartisan package of police reform bills was introduced in the Senate, but failed to move forward. wdet.org/2023/01/31/mic…
The package included ending the use of chokeholds by police, no-knock warrants, and establishing set procedures for investigating use-of-force by officers. Public safety must mean safety for everyone - and I stand with my colleagues in the MLBC with resolve to get it done.
For more details on what was included in the bipartisan reform package last term, and what will be discussed again as we enter into this new term - see here: freep.com/story/opinion/…

Last night, @GovWhitmer laid out her vision for the coming term in her 5th State of the State address. This address gives the legislature a vision to respond to and starts the policy and budget process for the year. So, what was in it? ➡️
Her address was broken into three major themes.
1️⃣ Lower MI Costs
✅ Repeal the retirement tax
✅ Expand the EITC
✅ Create universal pre-K for all Michigan kids
2️⃣Make It in Michigan
✅ Sustainable funding for economic development
✅ Lower age eligibility for Michigan Reconnect from 25 to 21 granting tuition-free associates degrees or skills training
✅ Protect everyone’s freedom by repealing abortion ban and expanding civil rights law

Absolutely devastating.
I got to meet Ken a few times, once when I worked at Hot Wheels and we did a collaboration, then again when he took part in the Jalopnik Film Festival I helped put on. He was a visionary and changed car culture forever. But he was also just a lovely, incredibly nice guy.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
