I fight for mental health because it is a crisis in this country. However, Kanye West's mental health issues are not an excuse to condone hateful, antisemitic rhetoric and spread disinformation on the history and suffering of African Americans. His words are simply unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday's appellate court ruling provides momentary relief for DACA recipients. But more must be done for the some 610,000 Dreamers, half of whom served on the front lines and helped us survive the pandemic. The time to pass the Dream and Promise Act is now. — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud @POTUS for taking this historic and transformational step to reform our nation's unjust approach to marijuana criminalization. Today's Executive Order offers justice and freedom to those federally imprisoned due to marijuana possession. — PolitiTweet.org

I got the bug for elected office because I was a PTA mom. That was in 1992. I’m used to making noise and I’m not walking away from being a voice for my community. Thank you @Hour_Detroit for the wonderful feature piece. https://t.co/ur592I8Qar https://t.co/C0zeAkQoJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Since our country’s founding, women have been intentionally left out of the Constitution and without true representation. We need the #EqualRightsAmendment to ensure that the rights of women and girls are preserved as basic rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. https://t.co/5VKIteOKWY — PolitiTweet.org

When parents are unable to raise their child, grandparents and relatives step up to provide a nurturing home. That's why I co-led a resolution with to celebrate these kinship caregivers, acknowledge the challenges they face, and commit to providing the support they need. 1/2 https://t.co/PHWjYHIC4M — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction helps bring down the cost of health care for Michiganders. It allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices, caps the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 per month, and extends tax credits on insurance premiums. — PolitiTweet.org

Great to join the Women's Official Network in Detroit! I was honored to receive this year's award and celebrate strong, dedicated women who want to make their voices heard.

It's been 116 years since white supremacists brutalized and killed dozens of Black Americans in Atlanta, GA.

As Vice-Chair of Appropriations, I advanced language for the Census Bureau to fund and expand the scope of the Population Estimates Challenge Program so that cities nationwide have a real chance to improve the reliability of their population numbers. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

If the census count is wrong even by a few thousand people, the numbers that guide hundreds of billions of dollars in federal aid for schools and teachers, economic development investments, affordable housing, and our health care systems are not accurate either. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke at a press conference with @MayorMikeDuggan to discuss the real world consequences of an inaccurate Census count that deprive cities like Detroit of their fair and intended share of vital resources for 10 years. 1/3 https://t.co/MbTCZhRSbc — PolitiTweet.org
