This year’s budget fight was longer and tougher than anything Michigan’s seen in years — but we got it done. I’m proud to have fought for and advanced some of the biggest investments that will make a real difference for working families across our state.

People of Michigan, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

House Democrats have been working to pass a state budget since January - we need House Republicans to bring bipartisan solutions to the table today to get it done before Michigan government shuts down.

Michigan House Democrats @mihousedems.bsky.social · 15d

The GOP’s budget games are reckless. Every day they stall puts schools, hospitals & communities at risk. Rep. @jasonmorganmi.bsky.social is right — Republicans need to stop the political theater and do their job.

Leader Jeffries: We said from the beginning that we are willing to find a bipartisan path forward. Our line in the sand is the bill has to help Americans, not hurt Americans.

If you make jokes the leader doesn’t like, look out. Does that sound like America?

Freedom of speech isn’t a “sometimes” right. Trump’s threats led to the firing of @jimmykimmel.com & @colbertlateshow.bsky.social — this is authoritarianism.

If they can silence comedians, they can silence you.

👏🏻👏🏻 Polluter Pay is something every Michigander should support. Taxpayers should not be on the hook to clean up the toxins that industries have poisoned our air, land, and water with for a century.

Our natural resources are precious and finite. And this beautiful place is our home, not their dump.

Jason Morgan @jasonmorganmi.bsky.social · Jun 19

I’m proud to continue pushing forward legislation to hold polluters accountable to clean up their messes in Michigan.

MI House Republicans’ proposed budget would gut funding for MI’s universities & colleges. These are places that teach minds, build community, & attract talent. While the GOP weaponizes state government, we’re fighting for the very institutions that promise opportunity & hope. #YouHaveOneJob

🚨🚨🚨ALERT: MI House Republicans are ramming through an extreme education budget that slashes colleges, including a 92% cut to @umich.edu and 73% to @michiganstateu.bsky.social.

As a teacher, I’d give this House Republican budget an F because that’s what it is telling our kids, to get F’d.
