MICHIGAN: Tom Barrett has:
❌ Voted to kick 392,000 Michiganders off their health care.
❌ Voted for MI’s 2004 constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions
❌ Supported business owners who challenged LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination protections
HRC-endorsed Will Lawrence will fight for equality, protect health care access, and lower costs. Info: hrc.im/vote
This administration would rather lie about the state of our economy and create political distraction than deliver real solutions.
Sure, Jan.
It’s that simple. Thank you, @hamilton4kansas.

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.”
“I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”
EL-SAYED: “The SAVE Act would require women who changed their names to go back and find their birth certificates just to be able to vote in our election.”
That’s not election security. It’s voter suppression.
This part: "The moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America, you compromise the rights of every citizen in America."
Trans voter to @AOC: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that?
AOC:
Someone is impersonating a Texas group that supports trans youth.
It’s no coincidence that this is happening while early voting is underway and MAGA continues attacking trans people.
It's not our fault that MAGA is failing to cut costs. We deserve safety, not to be scapegoated.
Mailers from a mysterious group purporting to represent transgender students have riled up voters in Texas as early voting gets underway.
But the Texas Transgender Student Union that sent the brochures and similar text messages that went out to voters earlier this month appears to have been created just weeks ago — and is registered as an LLC in Wyoming.
