Another day, another journalist killed by Israel in Lebanon.
End U.S. aid to Israel. Full arms embargo. Economic sanctions.

We did it! Yesterday, we filed our nominating petitions for the August 4th primary. Thank you to dozens of volunteers that helped us collect 1,500+ verified signatures from 31 counties in our massive district!
It's time to elect candidates willing to do the most good (not just the least harm). Your government should start treating your basic needs as human rights, guaranteed to every American.
Don't you agree?
Tariffs significantly inflated goods for American consumers, allowing corporations to not only pass through tariff costs but also obscure additional price gouging.
Now those same corporations will have the tariffs YOU paid returned to THEM as additional profit.
"YOU let... YOU let... YOU let... YOU let..."
So you're not gonna learn a fucking thing, eh?
Folks love to talk about 80:20 issues. In my district, there are three such issues:
๐ข Ending all aid to Israel
๐ข Blocking AI data centers
๐ข Decommissioning Line 5
I'm the only candidate - Democrat or Republican - willing to stand with my neighbors on each of those issues.
Northern Michigan is experiencing severe floods due to a combination of acute weather and aging infrastructure. Please continue to monitor your local situation, heed emergency orders, and stay safe.

Go big or go home, eh! We're making one final push to guarantee our movement is on the ballot in August. This campaign leaves nothing to chance.
Stop by one of these locations this weekend to sign our nominating petition. Share with your friends!
If you can, please show your support, join the fight, and make our voices heard.
These are part of MI Nurses Associationโs week of action across the state, as our brothers and sisters take a stand for patients over profits. The movement to resist corporate greed and fix our broken healthcare system starts with the people on the ground, those serving their communities every day.
This Friday, join me in supporting the Aspirus Keweenaw Nurses at their rally in Houghton to advocate for fair contracts and safe staffing. Another action will be taking place at the Munson Medical Center in Traverse City on Thursday evening.
Rainy weather (and the general state of the world) got you down? Join us this Saturday in the Traverse City area for an afternoon talking solutions and building working-class power.
Donations are appreciated but ALL ARE WELCOME. Special thank you to our host Gabrielle Bohrer-Zarafonitis! โค๏ธ

I'm running for Congress because the violence of my government disgusts me and drives me to desperate action.
I'm running for all Yoopers, Northern Michiganders, and rural Americans who know what it's like to watch horrors in isolation, to feel helpless, to scream into the void.
You are not alone.
Apropos of nothing: a 2026 "progressive" running against M4A and submitting a position paper to the pro-Israel lobby sure is... something.
Being America First ๐บ๐ธ means caring for the needs of our people at home, not funding violent foreign governments ๐ฎ๐ฑ or starting costly wars of aggression.
We love this Upper Peninsula weather, but life could stand to get a bit easier. Let's start with living wages, Medicare for All, debt-free education, and truly affordable housing.
Last chance to supply up or shovel the roof. If you know of anyone who might need help, please make a connection now. This one's going to be brutal.
Maybe one of these days we'll initiate a two-week, $20B kinetic action against our housing crisis, eh?

Continuing to meet folks where they are across all 36 (!) counties in Michigan's 1st District. This week, we're swinging to the shores of Lake Huron in the eastern Lower then hitting the south, west, and northern edges of the U.P. for a series of candidate forums!
Congress must act now to pull us back from war with Iran. Then, we must dismantle this war engine, prioritizing the well-being of our people at home over violence abroad.
