Before there was D.E.I., there was Desi Arnaz, rewriting the rules to become Hollywood’s unlikeliest mogul. His success still holds valuable lessons.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Speaker Matt Hall just admitted Republicans are intentionally stalling the budget, holding Michigan families hostage to score political points. That’s not leadership. That’s legislative negligence. Michigan House Democrats are standing up for those caught in the crossfire of reckless decisions.

Republican administration obscenity.

The GOP’s proposed budget would slash:
•School aid by 25%.
•Transportation by 95%.
•Nearly 92% of state investments in the rest of the non-School Aid budget.
And now they’re refusing to negotiate. This is reckless and dangerous.

I am a granddaughter of an immigrant from Mexico. The U.S. is built by immigrants, and Michigan is built by immigrants.
Generation after generation, people have come from around the world to Michigan to set down roots, to build and enrich our communities, work to diversify our economies and our cultures.
Last week during session Representative Schriver spoke hate. His exact words were: “…all the races in Asia, Africa, Latin America…they are not acclimating, they are not melting, and they are not reforming to the American way of life — the chasm is of ethnicity and loyalty.” I believe that immigrants have chosen to live and work and thrive in Michigan is testament to their loyalty to our country and the people of this state.
I believe each of us was elected to represent all who live in our districts. It doesn’t matter how you got there, if you live in a house, in a car, or on the street. You don’t pick and choose which of your constituents you represent. Apparently, Rep. Schriver chooses not to represent over 10% of his constituents.
I want to make something very clear to Rep. Schriver and any House Republicans who approve of his reprehensible words: hatred and exclusion are unacceptable and I refuse to allow his words to define Michigan and this Legislature.
Representative MacDonell’s resolution to Censure Rep. Schriver – and our press conference – should not have to be the wake-up call House Republicans need to denounce hate.

Healthcare is Michigan’s largest private-sector employer — & nurses are at its heart. This #NursesWeek, we recognize their vital role. As republicans threaten Medicaid cuts, we must speak up to protect patients' access to care & our healthcare workforce.
