With a #MajorityForThePeople, we are building a Michigan the next generation can be proud of.

It’s been 24 years since the deadliest terror attack in our nation’s history, which took nearly 3,000 lives and injured thousands more. We will never forget the horror and tragedy we felt as a nation on September 11, 2001, but everyday, as we remember and honor the victims and first responders who lost their lives that day, we work to rebuild as a stronger, more united America.

Senator Anthony didn’t mince words—House Republicans proposed and voted for deep, harmful cuts to programs Michiganders count on every day. No amount of political spin can hide the truth: they’re balancing a bad budget on the backs of working families.

The House GOP budget is nothing more than a copy-cat of Trump's big ugly bill right here in Michigan - slashing billions of dollars from services people rely on every day. Michiganders deserve a budget that helps them thrive, and we won't stop fighting until we reach a deal that accomplishes that goal.

Sen. Anthony on the MI House GOP Budget

Michigan Senate Democrats September 4, 2025 5:13 pm

Michigan families are feeling the strain of rising costs — and back-to-school shopping is no exception. Senator Irwin and MI Senate Dems believe this season should be about helping kids learn and thrive, not worrying about the bottom line. A back-to-school tax holiday will give families the relief they need to focus on their children’s success — in the classroom and beyond. 🏫🎒☀️

LIVE NOW: Senate Democrats Sound the Alarm on Costs of Continued House GOP Inaction

Michigan Senate Democrats August 20, 2025 11:52 pm

With 42 days left before government funding runs out, House Republicans appear to be prioritizing chaos over compromise. The people of Michigan are waiting for Speaker Hall to put the politics aside and work with us to pass the budget our schools, local governments, first responders and the entire state desperately need.

MI House GOP: Chaos Over Compromise

Michigan Senate Democrats August 20, 2025 4:34 pm

Michiganders deserve more than empty promises. That’s why Senate Democrats delivered a bold, people-first budget—on time, months ago. Meanwhile, House Republicans delay tactics are putting programs like free breakfast and lunch and funding for school safety and mental health on the chopping block.

Watch Leader Winnie Brinks give House Speaker Matt Hall a lesson on how the budget process is supposed to work. Matt Hall's piecemeal approach to budgeting isn't just unrealistic, its irresponsible.
