RT @SenPolehanki: All Senate Republicans just voted <U+201C>no<U+201D> on sending working families in Michigan $500. #MiLeg https://t.co/4OIs2Emg76
40% of Americans cannot sustain a $400 emergency. Covid-19 and the response to it will cause more than a $400 hardship for all. We have no paid sick leave policy, no national health insurance policy, and a battered safety net. #Congress - bailout the people not the bankers.

Michigan should end the asset test for food assistance. Our policy turns away federal help for low-income residents if they have assets. This is bad for families, bad for our economy, and downright cruel. SNAP is essential to fighting childhood poverty. End the asset test, now. https://t.co/CzBZoKtu6k
I applaud @GovWhitmer for increasing the asset limit but the asset test should be repealed entirely. There is no good reason to deny low-income people and children money to eat so we can send federal money back to DC. And we spend time and money to do it. It's stupid and cruel. https://t.co/bdiMuSE8Tb
In Lansing I am working to liberate billions of dollars sent by Congress to help Michigan deliver vaccines, assist renters, and support school reopening. Withholding or delaying these funds is irresponsible. #Michigan residents deserve better. Let's get this $$$ working. #mileg https://t.co/QyZGTIfQlm
Earlier today the MI Senate passed the MDHHS budget. While I<U+2019>m proud that we<U+2019>ve secured a $2.35/hour increase in recent years we must continue to improve wages for direct-care workers to ensure the quality and availability of care for seniors and disabled residents. 1/ https://t.co/NtgbDE8uNp
I'm proud to work on making food assistance available to people who qualify and remove state requirements that make this critical, frontline assistance program harder for people to access. https://t.co/OjSTo8OzmU https://t.co/BrjONmCaRz https://t.co/pl9J1rxsuC
SB 35 eliminates the asset test for SNAP benefits. We need to get rid of this extra barrier for food assistance and make sure it's not there for another Governor to ratchet down restrictions on poor people. https://t.co/uBBusHEhMA
