Justice Brown Jackson demonstrated during her confirmation hearings that she has the strength, integrity, wisdom and demeanor to serve on our nation's highest court. She forever will be an inspiration to young women of color and all young Americans who aspire to do great things. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

It's about time. The US Senate's confirmation today of Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice is a major step forward in our nation's journey toward becoming "a more perfect union." https://t.co/UmnyB9bFAM — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the generosity of the Rocket Community Fund and its partners, the $10 million program will provide these small businesses with the necessary lending, tech, and business advisory services needed to support their growth and success. https://t.co/3eLoWAHs59 — PolitiTweet.org

The Motor City Contractor Fund pilot program was created to dismantle these barriers and open the doors of opportunity to Detroit-based contactors who want to take part in the rebuilding of our City. https://t.co/l3TSMTcG8i — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Detroit is seeing its largest construction boom in more than a half century and that means there should be greater opportunity for our city’s smaller and minority owned construction contractors. Unfortunately, they have multiple barriers to that work. — PolitiTweet.org

Warren Evans has served Detroit and Wayne County extraordinarily well in his career. I can't think of a more deserving person after whom to rename DTW's north terminal after. Congratulations, Warren, on a such a lasting and well-deserved honor. https://t.co/1PZpnEv0Zt — PolitiTweet.org

If you need to request an alley clean-up in your neighborhood, visit https://t.co/SPJ09V4E5r — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I want to commend Leslie Ellison and his crew for their hard work in clearing the alley behind Mr. Lumpkin’s house. The thoughtful letter Mr. Lumpkin sent to us is a great reminder that the efforts of city employees are noticed and appreciated. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Since we launched the Alley Clean-Up program two years ago, our workers have removed debris and overgrowth from 2,500 alleyways in every corner of the city. https://t.co/Z9HMdflJay — PolitiTweet.org

For information on our vaccination locations and hours, visit https://t.co/79tNYN3vWN. To schedule a vaccination shot or booster for yourself, you can call 313-230-0505 M-F from 9AM-6PM — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

If you haven’t gotten your booster, I encourage you to do that. When you get that positive Covid result, it’s a great relief to know you’re likely protected from serious symptoms. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I’m really glad I got the booster shot. The symptoms I have are mild - much like an average cold. Fortunately, my wife Sonia has tested negative. I’ll be working full-time from home on zoom until the doctors clear me to return to in-person meetings. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

After two years, Covid finally caught up with me. Saturday morning I woke up with a cough so I took a home Covid test. The result was negative, but I chose to stay home for the day. Sunday morning the cough persisted, so I took another Covid test. This one came back positive. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Assalamu Alaikum! As we celebrate the holy month of Ramadan, please listen to this special message from First Lady, Dr. Sonia Hassan. On behalf of all of us here at the City of Detroit, we wish our Muslim communities a blessed and happy Ramadan. https://t.co/4cW1hVn0NM — PolitiTweet.org

I’d like to thank Emmet Moten and his team, the Ilitch family, our Housing and Development Department, and our partners at HUD and the State of Michigan whose collaboration has made this great day possible. https://t.co/xRwUwGEHG0 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

More and more we are seeing a trend of long time Detroiters and African American business leaders leading the developments that are driving Detroit’s recovery, and this project is a great example. https://t.co/66Op1cK93g — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Emmet Moten and his team at Bagley Development Group will lead the $75 million dollar project, which will create 148 apartment units with 20% reserved as affordable housing. There will also be 10,000 square feet of retail and dining space coming within the next two years. https://t.co/psfbLzNHy7 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

While some of the others were not able to be saved because they were not preserved well enough, the Ilitch family did preserve the United Artist building, making it possible for us to celebrate the exciting transformation of this historic site that is now underway. https://t.co/vWpYhPjSvX — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

At the State of the City address, I talked about the 12 biggest eyesores that for years gave Detroit an international reputation for ruin, and the former United Artist building was one of them. https://t.co/kEzP4DvfTd — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Not only did the Hartford group carry out their mission with Ciena Healthcare, but they expanded that mission to provide 65 new jobs. I appreciate Ciena's investment in the people of Detroit, in terms of the care this beautiful facility will provide and the jobs it will create. https://t.co/X01y2ivjo4 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The new state-of-the-art center will add short-term care services for our older residents and features a physical therapy gym, dining room, and multiple support spaces, providing our residents with the high quality care they deserve. https://t.co/sKNdwZxrBd — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

A few months ago, I helped cut the ribbon on the Racquet Up! facility, which provides tutoring and training for our young people. Yesterday, right next door, we were able to celebrate the grand opening of the beautiful new addition of the Hartford Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. https://t.co/TubhZYSbGo — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Dawana served our country and now she wants to continue to serve her community in a new way. I’m so proud of her and can't think of a more deserving person to celebrate and she begins this exciting new chapter in her life. https://t.co/85C4QJj13E — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

DawanaFit is one of several black-owned businesses that have opened in the historic Obama Building on Grand River, which was recently renovated with assistance from our Strategic Neighborhood Fund program, and is also the 132nd Motor City Match business to open since its launch. https://t.co/OdtkZcBMGL — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining longtime Detroiter and military veteran Dawana Vickers as she celebrated the public opening of her new business, DawanaFit in the Old Redford neighborhood. https://t.co/d2ClOxMd0h — PolitiTweet.org

The Basement Protection Program was created to protect Detroiters from further losses as a result of water damage. We expect major rain storm events to be more commonplace and will continue to do everything we can to support the Detroiters who stayed. https://t.co/00xBr0Hc1L — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

We are thrilled the NFL has selected Detroit to host its 2024 draft from among a number of other great candidate cities. I’d like to thank the Detroit Sports Commission, Visit Detroit, and all who played a role in our successful bid. https://t.co/NF5TvNInRz — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Through the Learn to Earn program, India was paid to earn her GED, and later became a certified nursing assistant. Detroit at Work has $100 million in adult scholarships to support Detroiters just like India and help them pursue the education and training they need to succeed. https://t.co/VWNYmJhII8 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

We also intend to pursue an expansion of our recently announced basement protection program. The City already has committed $2.4 million for a pilot in the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood and Aviation subdivision to install backflow prevention valves and sump pumps. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I can't thank @mlfudge enough for providing this badly needed funding to our city and for her continued confidence in our ability to do the most good with the resources HUD provides us. — PolitiTweet.org
