It’s disgusting that you are going there right now before these innocent victims are laid to rest. Shame on you! This is no time for politics.

My 78-year-old Dad knocked 50 doors in Michigan today for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz. Trust me, he is only getting started. For my last campaign he knocked in 6 hour shifts, which I can’t even do. 👏🏻🇺🇸

Senate Democrats voted today to give $600 million back to schools - permanently. All Democrats voted YES; all Republicans voted NO. The bill passed.

Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bullet proof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today. #mileg

Donald Trump just insulted every American autoworker, saying that "a child could do it." UAW autoworkers: Do you think Donald Trump could do your job? Let us know by Thurs. 10/17 at 9 PM EST and you could be featured in a special video release: uaw.us/RespondtoTrump

Imagine you’re lucky enough to be born the child of a billionaire. Later on, you meet and marry a billionaire. Never having to work a day in your life, and having more money than you could spend in a lifetime, imagine choosing to use your time and resources to propagate fake

Students' knowledge of U.S. history is at an all-time low. This is what you get when you teach #CRT, DEI & the 1619 Project instead of the Declaration of Independence, the #Constitution & the Gettysburg Address. @SandraSmithFox @AmericaRpts @FoxNews foxnews.com/video/63267627…

Livonia has a tradition of Dems versus Republicans gathering at opposite corners of a popular intersection during Presidential elections. For the first year ever—we outnumbered ‘em! We’re not going back! 🔥🔥🔥

For the past few weeks, a male GOP senator has taken it upon himself to step up to the mic & tell women senators @MalloryMcMorrow, @SenErikaGeiss, @rosemarybayer, and @SenatorSantana what's wrong with the "tone" and "decorum" of their floor speeches. I had enough. #GetUsedToIt
