To the men of Michigan, we’re working hard to ensure you have access to the support you need to live a good life. Here’s how we are fighting for you 🧵 We know that men’s health has unique needs. As Medicaid is under attack, the health of over a million Michigan men is at risk.

Here in Michigan, we fought to expand access to care – meaning more options for you to take care of yourself and keep more money in your pockets.

In Michigan, we believe if you work hard, you should be able to build a good life for yourself and your family. That means keeping more of your hard-earned money, lowering costs on essentials, and ensuring opportunity isn't out of reach for anyone. Here's how we get it done 🧵 💰 Put money back in your pocket by continuing the Working Families Tax Credit—an average refund of $3,000 for over 700,000 working families (benefitting half the kids in Michigan!)

Every family in our state should be able to access the care they need, from fertility treatments like IVF to contraception and more. You should have the choice make the healthcare decisions that are right for you.

Every Michigander deserves these fundamental freedoms. Period. I’ve heard from parents like Cynthia, who struggled for years with infertility before finally giving birth to her son through IVF. Cynthia wouldn’t have been able to have a baby without these treatments, and she told me how grateful she is for the opportunity to be a mother.

Today is my 53rd birthday! 🎂 

I’d like to celebrate with 53 wishes I have for Michigan in the next year – and together, I know we can make them happen 👇 13. With @michigandnr’s Nature Awaits program, every 4th grader in Michigan is eligible for a free field trip to a state park or rec area – if you’re a teacher, don’t forget to sign up at 🌱 michigan.gov/natureawaits

The shooting of former President Trump was a disgusting act of violence that caps off an alarming, years-long trend in our politics. There have been incidents we all know: a shooting at a practice for the Congressional baseball game, the plot to kidnap and kill me, the storming of the Capitol, and an in-home assault on the former Speaker of the House’s husband.

We're setting Michigan up for success and making record investments that will benefit everyone across the state, all without raising taxes by a penny!
That's right, another balanced, bipartisan budget in the books that will make a real difference in people's lives. Here's how 👇 📚 This budget puts students first so every Michigander can get a world-class education. We’re making record investments in education from pre-K to postsecondary, expanding free pre-K, increasing funding for the Michigan Achievement Scholarship, and continuing Michigan Reconnect.

Michigan Central Station is a monument to our state’s powerful history and an inspiration for the future we’re building toward. From the early 20th century to today, it’s more than a building – it’s a symbol of what this city, what our state can be 👇 🚂 When it opened in 1914, Michigan Central Station was an icon , connecting Detroit to destinations across North America. It was a source of pride for the city, and an incredible first impression for all those who visited.

Yesterday, as I visited Kalamazoo County, I was inspired to see communities coming together. When severe storms hit, people immediately stepped up to help each other recover. If you or someone you know was affected by the storms, here are resources available to you 👇 📞 If you were impacted by the storms, call 211 to report damage and access the latest information on shelters, water distribution, and debris management.

Since I took office, we’ve led with our values and reversed decades of disinvestment in our infrastructure.

The numbers speak for themselves:
1,400 bridges. 20,000 lane miles of road—enough to pave a road to Earth’s highest satellites. Supporting 118,000 good-paying jobs. We invested more in state roads and highways during my 1st term alone than the previous administrations did across 2 terms.

Let me say that again.
🗣️ We invested more in state roads and highways during my 1st term alone than the previous administrations did across 2 terms.

It's a new year Michigan, and you know what that means, another year of rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. From Detroit to Marquette, we're rebuilding and modernizing our infrastructure. We're fixing the damn roads, ensuring safe drinking water, and connecting our communities with high-speed internet.

That end-of-year feeling when you got a lot of 🤫 done thanks to a new majority in the Michigan Legislature. Let's take a look back at the progress we've made 👇

Women across the nation are making themselves heard this year. Whether it’s at the ballot box, in our state legislature, or in executive boardrooms.

Women are shattering ceilings, busting down doors, and pulling up chairs in every single place where big decisions are made. ...Including in the White House with our fearless, first woman @VP Kamala Harris.

Women are rolling up their sleeves and getting to work—the labor force participation rate for women in prime working age hit an all-time high this year.

Reflecting on the last 11 months, it's clear: we've gotten a lot done. 💪

At the beginning of the year, I outlined some pretty ambitious goals, and I'm proud to say we achieved many of them and more! Lowering costs has always been a top priority. We secured a billion-dollar tax cut for seniors, quintupled the Working Families Tax Credit, and ensured free breakfast and lunch for 1.4 million Michigan public school students.

The result? More money in Michiganders' pockets.

It’s a big day in Michigan! 7 game-changing bills will help us become a national leader in clean energy.

Today is a huge win for Michigan. We’ll protect our air, water, and land while facing climate change head-on and lowering costs.

We have been working towards this day for a long time. I unveiled the MI Healthy Climate Plan in 2021, outlining a lot of the goals in these bills.

Our plans were ambitious, but we knew the clock was ticking for our planet. And look at us now. We got it done!

When it comes to getting things done like fixing the damn roads, improving access to healthcare, or providing options for quality education, we're not just talking the talk—we're walking the walk. Since I took office, we've fixed 20,000 lane miles of road and 1,400 bridges.

In doing so, we've supported jobs for over 100,000 hardworking men and women who do this work.

Abortion is a fundamental right.

Since I took office, I've fought like hell to protect it, and that fight continues today. We're moving forward, but first, let’s look back at all we’ve done to get here. 👇 In June of 2022, on the same day the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, we filed a motion urging the Michigan Supreme Court to immediately consider the lawsuit we proactively began back in April of 2022, asking the Court to recognize a constitutional right to abortion.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I will go anywhere and compete with anyone to grow Michigan's economy and bring good-paying jobs home. Throughout my time as governor, we've done a lot to move Michigan forward.

We secured key investments and jobs in sectors like clean energy and chip manufacturing.

We ushered in record small business growth, helping to make Michigan a Top 10 State for Business.

Today I signed the Michigan Crime Victims Rights Package, 4 overwhelmingly bipartisan bills to protect survivors. As a former prosecutor, I know how important these bills are.

We all know that any form of abuse—emotional, sexual, physical, psychological—can leave scars for decades. We must take survivors’ claims seriously and make sure they have the support they need.

Michigan, something amazing is happening here, and I need to tell you about it!

We're making MAJOR moves when it comes to reproductive freedom. It's not easy to convey just how big this is, but I'm gonna try. 🧵 Back when Roe v. Wade was repealed, it was a huge blow to reproductive rights. We took immediate action -- launching a lawsuit to help keep abortion legal in Michigan.

Thanks to our fierce advocates, we kept it legal.

Today I signed legislation codifying parts of the ACA into Michigan law. You might be wondering why, and the truth is that these provisions are hanging by a legal thread. 🧵

To ensure Michiganders with pre-existing conditions won't be overcharged for insurance, or that insurers can't place annual or lifetime caps on coverage, we needed to act at the state level.

A wise woman once said: "Who run the world? Girls."

Today, on International Day of the Girl, I want to celebrate the incredible potential of girls worldwide and emphasize the need to continue advocating for their rights. I know this world can be challenging, but let me tell you, every challenge I've encountered has only fueled my determination to break down barriers for girls and women everywhere.
