Pride began with Stonewall: a movement against state violence, harassment, and discrimination. It's rooted in the universal struggle for equal rights and protection under the law.

SAULT STE. MARIE: Join us at our town hall next week! ➡️ Thursday, June 12 at 6:30 PM

Eid-ul-Adha commemorates the life and leadership of the prophet Abraham, peace and blessings be upon him. Muslims around the world reflect on his and his family’s sacrifices for their beliefs in service of a higher calling.

When you elect a clown, you get a circus.

We need leadership that has the courage to tell the truth about where we are and what it will take to confront and solve the problems we face as a country.

Who benefits when they truck RADIOACTIVE WASTE from the Manhattan Project into the most densely-populated county in Michigan, in the Great Lakes watershed? Not you, not me, not America — just the corporation who profits off it. You’ve got to see the pattern here.

I am proud to announce the endorsement of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison for my campaign for U.S. Senate.

Praying for the victims of the vile, antisemitic attack against peaceful, innocent marchers in Boulder, CO today.

Masculinity isn’t about punching down. It's about standing up against the powerful who are trying to take advantage of people.

Donald Trump is exploiting people's pain to take power and make it worse. We can do so much better.

We should be investing in the future by building schools and growing teacher salaries, rather than selling weapons to line the pockets of big corporations.

There's nothing MAGA politicians love more than lining their campaign pockets at the expense of working people. John James took $5 million from the DeVos family and then voted to gut Michiganders' healthcare in order to make them richer.

If you take corporate money while you’re running, you're not going to stand up to corporate money when you're in power. I’ve never taken a dime—and I never will.

Why are we sending tens of billions of dollars of our money to foreign militaries to drop bombs on other kids' schools instead of investing it in OUR kids' schools?

Gutting people's healthcare will destroy lives.

Where's John James? The people of #MI10 would like to know.

The HHS Secretary doesn't think you should take his medical advice. I don't either.

I have no disagreement with the HHS Secretary on the scale of the chronic disease epidemic Americans face. I have a problem with the hypocrisy.

Let’s be clear about what this is: Trump is having a temper tantrum over the fact that Harvard didn’t bend the knee, so now he’s trying to revoke their ability to take international students. It’s both dumb and delusional. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/...

Republicans in the House voted to gut Medicaid and SNAP, programs that provide essential healthcare and access to food for families across our state. Why? To give a massive tax break to Trump's billionaire buddies.

You don’t have to go 15 hours to cross ten years of life expectancy. You can go 15 minutes from where I grew up into any neighborhood in Detroit and cross the same gap. Fixing that is why I studied medicine—and why I got in to politics.

We need a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

People—not corporations—are the engine of an economy. Michiganders deserve an economy that puts them back in the center.

While big corporations shipped out jobs and left workers behind, Michigan local business leaders have stepped up and shown what a just economy looks like. Pingree Detroit is leading the way: up-cycling auto leather, hiring veterans, and making sure workers get a fair share of profits.

MACOMB COUNTY: Join me and Joel Rutherford TOMORROW for a community conversation at The Dovetail in Warren, MI! At a time when Medicaid is under attack, it's time for us to talk about how we can organize to defend our healthcare from the Trump administration. Can't wait to see you all.

It shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest, most powerful country in the world. The oligarchs are running away with the global economy to enrich themselves. That's unacceptable.

Bev’s Bagels 🥯 are delicious. You should go there. And with bagels this good, it shouldn’t be this hard to build a small business in Michigan.

It shouldn't be this hard to get by. And it doesn't have to be.

You want to gut Medicaid?! No you will not. We will not allow it. Those are our babies and they deserve healthcare!

I am proud to announce that Michigan State Representative Erin Byrnes (HD-15) is endorsing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Rep. Byrnes has been a leader in Lansing: advocating for pay equity, taking on the dark money that corrupts our politics, and standing up for reproductive health.
