- North Muskegon Public Schools are turning free school meals into a hands-on learning experience through the Norse Villages program. Powered by Michigan’s free breakfast and lunch, students are stepping into the world of sustainable food and making their own healthy smoothies.
00:00 - 1.4 million kids + 180 school days + 2 free meals a day = focused students and relieved parents. Free breakfast and lunch is an equation for success. It helps kids stay focused in class while saving parents an extra $1,000 PER year, PER child. Let’s make it permanent!
- Gun violence is an epidemic we can solve. When we focus on common sense solutions, we save lives. We can and will build a safer tomorrow, together.
00:00 - Replying to @GovWhitmerLet's keep working together to help every Michigander thrive.
- During Men’s Health Month, we must work to reduce stigma and break down barriers that keep our fathers, brothers, sons, and friends from getting the care they deserve. Change starts with honest conversations, education, and listening to the men in our lives.

- Replying to @GovWhitmerLast year the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force released a report with proven strategies to save more lives in Michigan. Today, I'm signing an executive order to take focused action to make these recommendations a reality. Here's how we further protect our communities ⬇️
- Replying to @GovWhitmerI am proud of our progress: ✅Universal Background Checks ✅Safe storage requirements ✅Stronger red flag laws ✅Record investments in public safety ✅Establishing the first ever Gun Violence Prevention Task Force We’ve got a lot done, but we can’t stop here.
- In this country, and only in this country, guns are the #1 killer of young people. Michigan knows this pain all too well. We’ve seen it in in our schools and universities, places of worship and places of employment — we shouldn’t have to live like this. We need action.
- Prices are on the rise all around us. Michiganders deserve good wages to pay bills and keep food on the table. Today, UAW workers are on strike bargaining for better pay and stronger benefits. I will always stand with the hardworking men and women of the UAW.
- Mackinac Island is Michigan’s gem. For residents and the 1.2 million people who visit every year, the ferry service should be accessible and affordable. Today, I signed a bill that empowers the people of Mackinac Island to make decisions about their economy.
- If you ask anyone in Grand Rapids where to grab a hot dog, they’ll mention Yesterdog! They've won ✨Best Hot Dog in Grand Rapids✨ every year for the past THREE decades! I was so excited to be at Yesterdog celebrating 50 years of good people, good memories, and good dogs 🌭
