We’ve made progress—but progress isn’t permanent.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids in America. That’s why we passed Red Flag laws and safe storage in Michigan. Now, Republicans want to roll them back.
We’re not going backward. We’re fighting for the right to live.
Progress isn’t permanent unless we defend it. Today I stood alongside survivors, students, parents, and advocates to say: enough is enough. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in America. That should shake us all. Let me be clear: you can’t say you care about families while repealing the laws that keep them alive. We will fight. We will vote. We will keep showing up. And we will win.

This is not who we are as Americans.
Today, we saw yet another page from the GOP extremist agenda that aims to divide Michiganders & tear families apart. Speaker Hall’s silence is deafening. While Republicans are busy looking backwards, House Dems are looking forward to actually helping people & providing relief.

Michigan families shouldn’t have to wonder if their healthcare, childcare, or schools will stay open. Trump’s reckless funding freeze creates chaos for working people while the wealthy remain untouched. Michigan families are depending on us. Let’s move forward with the urgency and responsibility this moment demands. #CostOfChaos

As we reflect on the things we are grateful for this holiday season, I am thankful for the leadership of Rep. Ranjeev Puri. His dedication and vision make him the perfect choice to be House Minority Leader! #letsgo2025 #workingforprogress #ForThePeople
House Dems are committed to #BuildingPeopleUp. We serve because we want to:
• Stand up for the people of Michigan.
• Stand up for workers.
• Stand up for our Constitution.
House Republicans serve only themselves.
Today was a whirlwind, but what an incredible honor it is to serve my district and the people of Michigan as the newly elected House Democratic Leader for the 103rd Legislature.
Together, we can build brighter future for all Michiganders. Let’s get to work!

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights.
Read about his lasting legacy.
In this special episode of Up First, we consider the legacy of the man widely called "America's greatest former president."
Merry Christmas to all celebrating! Wishing everyone joy and peace this holiday season and beyond!

In 12 days, I will take on the role of Democratic Leader. I promise to work relentlessly to rebuild trust, deliver on our promises, and fight every single day for the people of Michigan.
We have so much work ahead. Let’s get to it. 🧵3/3
We left too many critical priorities on the table—priorities that could have transformed lives across Michigan.
I am grateful that the Senate has continued to work through the night, passing dozens of bills that would otherwise be left behind. 🧵2/3
To my district and the people of Michigan-
What happened yesterday in the House should not have happened. It was not just disappointing, but one of the greatest failures for our constituents who elect us to show up to work and vote on pending legislation. 🧵1/3
It was an honor to celebrate the season at the White House Holiday Reception! The stunning East Colonnade we are pictured in covered in decorative bells reminds us of the joy and unity this special time of year brings. Grateful for the time spent and the memories made with friends in this historic space. ✨🎄 #WHHolidays

As the lead sponsor of HB 6184 I am proud to have testified to ensure the firearm industry is held accountable and communities across Michigan are safer.
As the lead sponsor of HB 6184 I am proud to have testified to ensure the firearm industry is held accountable and communities across Michigan are safer. Accountability matters. Just as we hold opioid makers and predatory industries liable, firearm manufacturers must also be held to the same standard—no industry is above the law when it comes to public safety.
Accountability matters. Just as we hold opioid makers and predatory industries liable, firearm manufacturers must also be held to the same standard—no industry is above the law when it comes to public safety.
Our Michigan volunteers are keeping the pressure on state lawmakers to pass critical gun safety legislation before the end of a special session, including bills to ban untraceable ghost guns and to hold bad actors in the gun industry accountable.
Go, Michigan! #MomsAreEverywhere #MILeg
