Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday - Michigan's small businesses need your support, especially as their #healthcare costs have skyrocketed and they don't get the same big tax breaks as big corporations under the Republican #BigBeautifulBill

If you're shopping this weekend, remember to shop small and independent businesses. Even at local, family-owned toy stores, you'll see that Republican tariffs are spiking your prices
A graphic with various toys and gift items with header text reading, "Republican tariffs are making post-Thanksgiving shopping a lot less jolly." Text bubbles next to the items with white arrows pointing up read, "Melissa & Doug toy shopping cart up $12; source: Forbes.com. Pajamas up 34%; source: edhat.com. Tablet up 17.8%; source: lendingtree.com. Toy truck up 145%; source: CNN.com. Blender up 19.4%; source: edhat.com. Kickboard scooter up $30; source: Forbes.com.

I denounce the President's call for political violence against his political opponents, and every elected official across the country should, too #PoliticalViolence

🇺🇸 Veterans deserve more than our gratitude — they deserve real, lasting support. That’s why MI House Dems introduced a legislative package w/protections for Michigan’s veterans. Actions speak louder than platitudes, and we're taking action to provide systemic, material support to honor our veterans
A graphic showing a row of uniformed military service members standing in formation. Text across the bottom on a gradient blue background reads, “Honoring all who served. Veterans Day, 11th November.” A graphic with the U.S. flag in the background and bold text reading, "House Democrats’ Supporting and Protecting Michigan Veterans legislative package supports veterans today and every day."

‼️ Food assistance benefits (#SNAP) have been ordered by Washington Republicans and the USDA to 🛑 stop on Sat., Nov. 1. MI House Dems have introduced bills to plug some holes, but our Republican Speaker can't admit there is a problem and allow for votes on these bills or he'll upset the President...
