When the Mich. Supreme Court struck down a law Whitmer used to issue pandemic orders, Rs quickly came out against codifying mask mandates & business capacity restrictions. They made it very clear. It's not shocking her admin reinstated using different law rather than negotiate

Noteworthy that in Michigan our rate of ballot return is very high – over 78% (2.5 million) of ballots sent (3.2 million) are already returned-with voters easily returning their ballots at their local dropbox or city/twp clerk’s office. #ReadyForNovemberhttps://t.co/doERKekw6R

This tweet is an insult to every Michigander who knows the truth. I think I speak on the behalf of many Michigan tax payers, whom pay you a salary, when I say: STOP YOUR BULLSHIT AND STOP HARRASSING THE GOVERNOR! #CovidCovidCovid #WearADamnMask pic.twitter.com/HzrazaRsN9

When we flip the Senate and send @HillaryScholten to the U.S. House, I’m looking forward to working with her and fighters like @WinnieBrinks in Lansing to continue delivering results for West Michigan. pic.twitter.com/aOVUqkOcCj

We elected a lot of great leaders in 2018 — and one of those people was Congresswoman @HaleyLive. Let’s end 2020 on a high note by sending her back to Congress to fight for us. pic.twitter.com/mFWkbSzu4D

The poll numbers are almost identical on banning discrimination against LGBTQs in Michigan, but GOP legislative leaders have felt quite comfortable ignoring consensus on that for years. https://t.co/QdTebnHSLV

And a note: @MichiganRadio was also in touch with the James campaign over the past few weeks. We offered several dates and times for an interview, but in the end, the campaign did not make Mr. James available.

Speaking of #MI03, I hate the negative ads coming from both sides, but the recent NRCC ads against @HillaryScholten are particularly bad. Protecting civil liberties is a good thing. These hyperbolic ads embrace the same demagoguery used to justify all sorts of government abuses.
