MI Dems have delivered free breakfast & lunch to all 1.4 million public school students, cut taxes for seniors & working families, passed commonsense gun reform & more in 2023. Since gaining majority, we've made historic strides #PuttingPeopleFirst.

@umichvoter Novi Mayor and City Council. Same for Farmington Hills

What races would you like me to cover tomorrow?

Yep, it's the guns.

@ThatEricAlper The sound track to “Hair”

What was the first album you bought with your own money?

Today I celebrated the first new SMART fixed route in 27 YEARS - the 740 to Novi! Now people will have access to the jobs, shopping, and other amenities of this great city. Welcome aboard!

It’s a new day in southwestern Oakland County. Public transit comes to Novi and Wixom!

For this Classroom Close-Up we were invited to Jessica Harris' 6th grade Science class at Hillside Middle School. The students were working with light sensors to collect data on the brightness of different objects. #NPSWorldofPossibilities #ClassroomCloseUp @harris6sci

Guitarist Jimmy White was playing at the farmer's market at @CarterCenter today. We asked him if he knew any Allman Brothers. Happy Birthday President Carter, from one Jimmy to another #JimmyCarter99 Send (or sing) your birthday greeting at CarterCenter.org.

It’s a beautiful morning in the pollinator garden! Take a deep breath and enjoy the colors!

Thanks for visiting this wonderful organization that is changing so many lives.

It’s true! Transit comes to Novi starting September 11. Share widely!

@SecGranholm And yet DTE can’t reliably deliver that power to communities all over Mi. Some residents in my city have lost power 8 times since June 1.

@bobzulka @EdKrassen Clearly many don't know the Flag Code as evidenced by all of the American flags with Trump's face on them, or my favorite, seeing the American Flag as a tank top.

@EdKrassen I’m not sure that works Krass. The flag on top is not part of the same display. Many don’t know that there is a specific, detailed etiquette for us flag display and handling

A lot of people were accusing the White House of disrespecting the American flag and "breaching the US flag code" yesterday, but in reality they were not. This is why I believe Community Notes have huge potential here on Twitter. This user posted a photo that chopped off the top of the building which would have shown that the US flag was on top. Instead they only showed the below photo which would appear to depict a violation of US Flag code. Community notes allowed people to notate this person's tweet to correct the misinformation. Community notes are far form perfect, but I believe they will eventually get there.

Amazing!

A quick Twitter check: - How many of you are seeing my tweets? - Do you subscribe (paid or free) to my Steady newsletter (on Substack)? - And if you do, why did you subscribe and what do you think? (Please retweet this, if you are inclined, to maximize the feedback. Thanks.)

Retweet if you think every person in America should have the freedom to make their own reproductive health decisions.

We can heal the earth if we try.
