I had fun this week with Washtenaw County Prosecutor, @esavit.bsky.social at the #Michigan State of the State! Did you know that #Washtenaw has the 1st & only unit in a prosecutor's office focused on consumer protections like wage theft & price gouging? #MiLeg #MiSotS #MiSotS25 #ConsumerProtection

Take a look behind the scenes of #MISOTS25. 👀

House Democrats Look Ahead to Building Up Michigan After State of the State Address - housedems.com House Dems remain committed to ensuring breathing room for Michigan families LANSING, Mich., Feb. 26, 2025 — [...]

Gov. @biggretchenwhitmer.bsky.social has laid out her vision in this year's #MISOTS25, & we're excited to collaborate on creating life-changing policies — from keeping money in your pockets to expanding affordable housing — that will continue #BuildingPeopleUp!

Michigan House Democratic Leader Ranjeev Puri speaks with reporters from Michigan Radio at a table covered with radio equipment in the House chamber of the Michigan Capitol in Lansing.

Leader @ranjeevpuri.bsky.social getting the word out with Zoe Clark & @rickpluta.bsky.social of @michiganpublic.bsky.social after #MISOTS25 — hear us loud & clear MI, House Dems are energized to deliver solutions so ALL Michiganders can live their best lives.

It does piss me off greatly to see so many Detroiters rolling up their sleeves every single day and to get constantly shit on by Lansing and an electorate that simply does not give a damn.

At the very least, get a Plan B on the table instead of the same, tired shit for 60+ years.

... Dana Nessel, to defend our neighbors from being defrauded by greedy corporations. As their constituent, I am grateful to see both Attorney General Nessel & Prosecutor Savit fight for me and my neighbors, and it inspires me to keep up the fight for our mutual constituents #MiLeg #MiSotS #MiSotS25

‘Michigan is strong AND kind.’ Not the word ‘kind’ bringing me to tears 😭 The world could use a lot more of that right now. #MISOTS25

"thank you, drive safely, and good night" is really all you need to know. absolutely car brained #MISOTS25

Lower costs, more jobs, and better results. When we #ThinkMichigan, we think opportunity. #MISOTS25

House Dems Pass Bills to Help Kids Read - housedems.com State Rep. Matt Koleszar (D-Plymouth) sits as chair of the House Education Committee on April 11, 2024, [...]

If kids can't read, they can't succeed. Rep. @mkoleszar.bsky.social helped lead the charge to pass bills to support student literacy and pre-screen students for dyslexia. #MISOTS25

We applaud @biggretchenwhitmer.bsky.social's plan for taxing vapes. Use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vaporizing devices and other products among Michigan youth remains too high. Michigan ranks at the bottom of states in our state spending on tobacco prevention and cessation programs. #MISOTS25

Whitmer to call on Trump to send another fighter squadron to Selfridge Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she lobbied Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the White House on the issue of Selfridge Air National Guard Base's future.

"Let’s support our brave men and women in uniform at Selfridge in our next budget and work with our federal partners to save Michigan jobs and protect our national security." — @biggretchenwhitmer.bsky.social #MISOTS25

I-96 Eastbound closed in Fowlerville due to a crash

Today for several hours ahead of #MISOTS25 I-96 was shut down between Lansing and Detroit because someone was killed in a crash. We've accepted this as normal.

Driving cannot continue to be the only reliable way to travel here. Sustainable transit funding must be a priority.

Rep. Grant is spot on: housing is a basic right. Let's invest so every Michigander can count on it. #MISOTS25

michiganders will, in fact, accept inaction. have you looked around this state? #MISOTS25

Accessible child care is pro-family, pro-growth policy. Shout out to Rep. @caglanville.bsky.social for leading the charge. #MISOTS25

Thanks to one of Gov. Whitmer’s initiatives, I was able to complete my college degree. Forever grateful for leaders who invest in education and opportunity here in Michigan. #MISOTS25

We applaud these programs that help young adults. Thanks to @biggretchenwhitmer.bsky.social and leaders for making sure programs like Michigan Reconnect, the Michigan Achievement Scholarship, and Community College tuition are available to so many residents. #MISOTS25 #mileg

Things have been bleak, but Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is bringing the hope tonight! A proud moment for all Michiganders. #MISOTS25 #Michigan

MI has a lot to be proud of. For starters:
🔹4 R1 universities-congrats, Michigan Tech!
🔹Expanded RxKids to improve finances & health of families.
🔹Palisades = the first restarted nuclear plant in US history.
🔹Soon, we’ll open the Gordie Howe Bridge, which will carry 25,000 vehicles daily.

MEAP saves 50k Michigan families an average of $700 per year on utility bills. Glad to see @biggretchenwhitmer.bsky.social expanding this critical program #MISOTS25

Buying a house is hard. As young folks, we know what that’s like. @gretchenwhitmer.bsky.social sees us, and we’re ready to build baby build! #MISOTS25

Urge Congress to Protect HUD Funding and Staff! Educate your members of congress about why HUD resources are critical to low-income families and communities

Love hearing the gov's plans for housing in MI. We can't have affordable housing without #HUD. Be sure to make sure the critical programs and workers at HUD are protected from federal threats in 2025: nlihc.quorum.us/campaign/109...

Gov. Whitmer is right: Tarriffs would wreak havoc. And so would tax cuts for the wealthy. More from our partners at @centeronbudget.bsky.social on the harm these proposals would do: www.cbpp.org/research/fed...
