When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.
And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.
Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.
Michigan not only provides free breakfasts and lunch to all school kids, no matter their family income, the state also canceled all student meal debt.

Now kids can eat for free, without stigma.
The result is better student health, more academic success, and less child hunger.
In Michigan, I’m always going to fight for students to learn, and teachers to teach, America’s full and true history. I’m grateful to @KamalaHarris for standing up against bigotry.

That is leadership.
The Media should STOP talking about Ron DeSantis and START talking about Gretchen Whitmer. pic.twitter.com/8u3syRJ2AG

Don't overlook this, it's a big deal: Michigan Dems are passing pro-labor *and* pro-LGBTQ/abortion bills. They're explicitly casting this as a pro-worker agenda, economically *and* culturally. This is the blue state answer to red state culture war madness:https://t.co/ysbzdrc1iq

Across the country, the LGBTQ+ community faces near-daily threats to their lives and liberty. Michigan is welcome to all, and I will keep using my tools to defend LGBTQ+ Michiganders. pic.twitter.com/DSgaBXSEyD

For the first time in about 40 years, Democrats are in charge of the Michigan Legislature. They took a go big or go home approach with their first bills on workers' rights, abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights and progressive tax policy. @MichiganAdvance https://t.co/rzB1JfsmEN

If this were a fair fight and gerrymandering were illegal, Democrats would be steamrolling Republicans tonight. Republicans can't win without rigging elections in their favor. THAT'S the story.

Everyone is marveling at Ron DeSantis's political wizardry in Florida but I would argue that the real hero governor in this cycle is Gretchen Whitmer. Look at what she did in a state that has been far more swingy than Florida has been for a long time.

A political rock star.
It was a blue wave in Michigan as Democrats seized control of the state House, state Senate, and the positions of governor, secretary of state, and attorney general. Voters also overwhelmingly approved Proposal 2 and Proposal 3.

This is so smart. I wish all democrats would message like this.

I’m using every tool I have to safeguard the right to abortion in Michigan — for my daughters, their generation, and every generation after them.

We won’t go back.
Breaking: A Michigan judge rules that the state's 1931 pre-Roe ban cannot be enforced, granting Gov. Whitmer's request for preliminary injunction. Abortion remains legal in Michigan.

Garrett Soldano, a GOP candidate for governor in Michigan, says we must inspire women who have been raped to understand how heroic they are in giving birth and see that "God put them in this moment."
