“We’re starting to see some of the worst-case scenarios play out almost in front of us. At current warming of 1.2C, sea level rise is accelerating at rates that, if they continue, would become almost unmanageable before the end of this century, [which is] within the lifetime of our young people.”

President Trump is doing more than just turning a blind eye to the fact that the planet is growing hotter. He is weakening the U.S.'s capacity to understand global warming and to prepare for its consequences.

What we have seen from Donald Trump and his administration is a total disregard for the separations of power and the rule of law. The legal profession cannot be complicit in this attack on our democracy. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.

I have zero patience for “do climate work but just don’t call it that”. I am not talking in code about an existential threat bc a handful of Americans like profiting off oil and gas & have managed to brainwashed another handful of Americans. Don’t capitulate. They’ll take your funding anyway.

Even if Donald Trump believes he can ignore court orders, he can’t ignore the people. Thank you to the thousands of Michiganders who showed up at protests across the state today to make your voices heard. Keep it up!

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

House Democrats are fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The partisan Republican spending bill is an attack on veterans, seniors and families. Unacceptable.

It’s totally unacceptable, Elon Musk is giving Trump political operation ANOTHER $100 million as he giggles with a chain saw and cuts staff, veterans, and needed services. This is NOT what our founding fathers envisioned, an oligarchy in all but name.

We’ve seen record funding for students, now we need to make sure that money is actually reaching kids. As Governor, I’ll make sure all of our agencies, including our Department of Education, are run efficiently so our teachers are supported , and our students are set up for success.

Leadership isn’t about words—it’s about action. It’s about showing up, listening, and delivering real results that make life better for the people who call Michigan home. I’ve done that before, and I’m ready to do it again because everyone in Michigan deserves a fair shot. #BensonForGovernor
