It is despicable the lengths the Trump Administration will go to to block food assistance for 42 million Americans, including families, seniors, veterans and active military.
Thanks to the quick actions from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, some Michiganders were able to receive their benefits this week, but access to food is not a legal game.
I will not be deterred despite the President’s continued maneuverings and will continue to fight until every qualified resident receives the benefits they rightfully deserve.

This latest rate hike request from DTE is, frankly, absurd in both the astounding dollars and obnoxious timing—requesting yet another $450 million not even four months since their last rate hike was approved.
DTE is following their usual playbook, incessant and oppressive rate hike requests not grounded in reality, but rather based on the financial aspirations of their corporate shareholders.
And DTE demands the money without implementing any corresponding accountability or reliability metrics and measures.
The 1/6 committee unanimously voted to subpoena Trump for his attempt to overturn the will of voters in 2020 — a plan which relied in part on a report riddled with false claims filed by my opponent, Matt DePerno. His continued, undying support for Trump to this day is dangerous.
61 failed lawsuits, strong-arm phone calls to GOP officials, rallies where he repeated malicious lies over & over, slates of fake electors — none of it worked for Trump. Didn't matter; he told aides DePerno's Antrim Co. report was his ticket to a 2nd term. yahoo.com/video/trump-la…
DePerno took a mundane, quickly-corrected human error made by a GOP clerk & spun it into a fantasy about hacked voting machines. Bill Barr called the report "crazy," with 0 factual basis, & named it a "grave disservice to the country." thedailybeast.com/inside-trump-b…
Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with law enforcement to prosecute violent crime in our state. I’ve always been a strong supporter of ensuring police have adequate funding. I'm honored to have the support of the law enforcement community in this election. /🧵
I’ve worked to take on cold case homicides and aggressively prosecute rape, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. I’ve gone after those who prey on our most vulnerable, including seniors and children.
My opponent, on the other hand, has never prosecuted a crime in his life. His support of violent insurrectionists who attacked police on Jan. 6 and his disparagement of federal law enforcement agents on numerous occasions prove he’s unfit for the job of Michigan’s top cop.
It's been 568 days since myself, @GovWhitmer & @JocelynBenson referred 4 attorneys to the MI Attorney Grievance Commission for violating ethical standards of legal practice on King v Benson, which sought to overturn the 2020 election. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
It’s been 362 days since Judge Parker sanctioned these and other attorneys on the matter, ordering them to pay $175,250, take continuing education classes, and be referred for disciplinary action against their licenses. freep.com/story/news/pol…
The 2022 election is now 76 days away & absolutely NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION has been taken by the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission.
If the price is right, there's no deterrent against these same lawyers seeking to undermine our democracy with frivolous & dangerous lawsuits.
Although we knew this was coming after the leak of Justice Alito’s draft decision, it doesn’t make it any less shocking or unnerving that Americans will lose a fundamental right they’ve had for nearly my entire lifetime. 🧵/8
In MI, these are kitchen table issues impacting our ability to be economically stable & plan for our future. We all have our own stance on abortion, but there’s a big difference between adhering to your personal beliefs & forcing others to abide by them.
I’ve been putting domestic violence advocates on high alert. If women can’t exercise their right to terminate a pregnancy, it will leave them anchored to their abusers for the rest of their lives, causing harm to women already in a precarious situation.
Breathtaking info on Trump's attempt to advance stolen election lie via DOJ at today’s 1/6 hearing. My opponent’s contribution, the report on Antrim Co, came up repeatedly. Every DOJ official except one gunning for Barr’s job agreed it’s wildly false. thedailybeast.com/inside-trump-b…
It claimed ballots in the county had a 68% error rate. After a hand recount of all 15K+ ballots, as close to a forensic audit as one could get, they found a single erroneous ballot. That’s a .0063% error rate and perfectly within the bounds of normalcy.
But Trump was convinced DePerno’s report was his ticket to a 2nd term. “Just say the election was corrupt & leave the rest to me,” he told DOJ officials. But because they had integrity & knew their sole job was to uphold the law, these officials refused.
