Basic protections for LGBTQ+ Michiganders are long overdue. I’m thrilled that the House has voted to expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, and shame on the Republicans who voted to deny the LGBTQ+ community equal protection under the law.

Yesterday we saw that even Donald Trump isn’t above the law. We also know that convicted or not, the GOP is sticking with a nominee who is not fit to serve. And as Trump grows more unhinged and dangerous, many leading Republicans are only embracing him tighter. 🧵

Right-wing groups are trying to recall @GretchenWhitmer 's emergency powers – all because she took decisive action to save lives. This effort is nothing but a partisan power grab. If you see Unlock MI petition gatherers, decline to sign & report them here:

Preach! You know what's clear as day? @JoeBiden cares about America and delivers results. You know what else has been clear for 8 years and was crystal clear again last night? Trump only cares about himself. So that's the choice. It's time to work.
