Public servant running for U.S. Senate because it shouldn't be THIS hard to get by. Michigan born and raised. Girl Dad. Doctor.

I don't pay my taxes so other people get bombs and tanks. I pay my taxes so all our kids get good schools and health care. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

The path to passing Medicare for All:

Here's the plan to achieve a post-Trump era in American politics starting the day I take office in 2027.

137 38

Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Reform the Supreme Court. Get money out of politics. Abolish ICE so they stop ruining the lives of innocent people and messing with our polling places.

I know the goodwill that Michiganders show each other. I know that this state has always been a place that has brought people from different walks of life together to build something that is greater than the sum of its parts.

We need real AI regulation to create guardrails and protect the ability for young people to have a job. We need leaders who aren’t bought off by Big Tech.

128 40

It will be my honor to be the first ever public health official elected to the US Senate. Seems like we could use one of those right now!

153 40

Meet Marsha and Glenna, the first same-sex couple to be married in Michigan. Regardless of how we use our rights, ALL of us need to lock arms together to fight for an America where nobody's rights can be taken away.

117 29

It's time for us to stand up, strengthen our antitrust laws, and enforce them to so corporations stop raising prices on us and picking our pockets.

109 42

Corporations should not be able to buy and speculate on housing.

A judge has permanently blocked radioactive waste from being dumped in Wayne County. Evidence shows the waste, which came from the Manhattan Project, is connected to cancer. Congratulations to all the local communities and organizers that helped to win this case.

116 21

This is Michigan's opportunity to do better. We must take it.

111 33

My votes will never be influenced by AIPAC or any corporate PAC because I don't take money from them.

130 31

The people of Michigan are sick and tired of politicians who tell us what we can't have and shouldn't fight for... We can fight for a world where everybody can be guaranteed healthcare.

261 71

Abolish the filibuster.

145 30

Do we really think that excess money to billionaires makes jobs?

94 28

It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

125 35

More than happy to share with Fox News viewers my vision for our country where every American can afford basic dignities and a good life.

101 24

Been saying it since 2018. Abolish ICE.

142 41

We're living in an era with fewer people in unions, while our economy is spitting out billionaires at a crazy rate. That's not a coincidence. I want more unions, more union members, and fewer billionaires.

142 40

With gas this high, I'm biking to events…

257 53

Hope is the belief that whatever the past, the future can be brighter.

65 20

In the richest country in the world, too many Americans can't afford a second bag of groceries, can’t see a doctor when they get sick, or send their kids to schools that look like they did 30 years ago. Shouldn't be this hard.

223 74

Medicare for All means no premium, no co-pay, no deductible. Doesn't matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26, turn 65, get married, get divorce — it is there for you.

220 69

The Trump Administration has been targeting PrEP.

75 23

Grateful to Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal for joining us on the trail in Michigan to show that Medicare for All is possible in this country if we build momentum together!

237 59

Our healthcare system chews up and spits out people who cannot afford it, and caters to the people who can. We desperately need Medicare for All.

100 30

What "public servant" means to me.

67 12

In the richest country in the world, every single person deserves equitable, affordable, and accessible healthcare. Thank you, Dr. Harris!

1,450 318

I believe everyone has the same rights to peace, dignity and self-determination. That is precisely why I believe this country cannot continue to arm a foreign government that wants to take away one group's rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination.

92 19

My job is not to make you like me. My job is to make sure you know I believe you deserve healthcare and I'm not going to stop until we pass Medicare for All.

140 35

I will always stand with nurses and unions.

120 23

Yes, Medicare for All is possible in this country. But it will require politicians to stop taking marching orders from Big Pharma, Big insurance, and Big hospitals.

137 51

We've got to stop the Big Techification of our housing.

103 28

Democrats: Here’s what I think is frustrating all of us about the current version of our party…you agree?

103 38

People like to say “Medicare for All is a pipe dream.”

110 42

In this economy, you don't have real choices. When it comes to flights, concerts, meat, phones, you name it — there's only a few options for each. That's corporate oligopoly.

121 35

The standard set by Roe v. Wade is the foundation for gender equity.

141 37

If the current political system is working for you, I'm not your guy.

119 37

The United States has torched $25 billion of our tax money to raise our gas prices. You could eliminate the whole medical debt of the entire country for about $2.25 billion.

162 61

Trump is setting up to use ICE to interfere in the midterms.

128 51

The people in power who say we cannot have Medicare for All are receiving campaign contributions from the health insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the hospital industry.

143 59

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is not about keeping us safe. ICE is about normalizing the use of government thugs on your streets. ICE is about keeping the people in power safe from the people.

Had a blast working out with Terra at Detroit Body Garage. We discussed the importance of people of all ages getting in daily movement and how government can improve health outcomes by investing in the simple idea that no one should go without healthcare in the richest powerful country in the world.

236 36

Money out of politics.

158 47

This campaign is about you.

133 47

Do you ever wonder why your hospital keeps changing its name?

167 67

Spirit just shut down. That’s just a small part of a much bigger problem. Here's how it works…

121 48

Let's play This or That👀

112 26

It’s Mother’s Day! Call your mother figures! ❤️

93 16

They want way more money for the same exact thing. And it’s not just groceries.

104 40

🚨🚨An AIPAC shell organization just bought $5.3 million in ads to beat us. We need you.

143 59

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. I worry tremendously about what this means for communities in Michigan whose representation faces erasure. Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

151 43

I am so proud and overflowing with gratitude to earn the endorsement of the Black Slate, a powerful organization that has been at the forefront of change, activism, and Black prosperity in Detroit.

114 29

Shouldn’t be this hard to afford basic things like cat food! Love you, Socks🥺🐈

When the OG Bernie Sanders comes to town…

155 55

“You better not turn the Abdul and Bernie rally into a Wes Anderson film…”

121 26

We as humans have so much more in common than that which divides us.

115 40

Happy National Nurses Day to our heroes that keep our communities safe each and every day. When nurses stand up, they’re standing for ALL of us. Better conditions for nurses keep ALL of us safer.

It’s time to eliminate the Pharmacy Benefit Manager industry. PBMs don’t manufacture prescription drugs. They don’t dispense prescription drugs. They just extract profit from patients. Let me explain.

132 40

Fun fact: The Pistons won Game 7 against Orlando during my speech on Sunday. Can’t wait to watch them beat Cleveland tonight.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Detroit, we did that.

129 32

I finally got to see the Wayne County Veterans Services van out in the wild! As Director of Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veteran Services, we realized that our vets had to drive long distances and get parking to get services. We fixed it by taking the office mobile.

A few hundred of my friends and me in Kalamazoo last night.

As a public health official in Wayne County, I led the program to set aside $7 million to erase nearly $700 million in medical debt for 300,000 families. It’s the biggest medical debt erasure in Michigan State history.
