We need to ensure our tribal communities, who have a deep understanding of these issues, can voice their concerns. I’ll keep working to get this commonsense bill passed to improve the inclusivity and success of this process. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
On Juneteenth National Independence Day, we commemorate the closing of one of our nation’s most painful chapters. As we recognize this critical moment in our history, let’s recommit to addressing the systemic inequalities and racial disparities that persist in our society today.
Disasters hit red states and blue states alike. When they strike, we need to come together as Americans to help each other recover. But, President Trump has been politicizing recovery aid based on your Governor’s or Senators’ political party. It’s simply unacceptable.
I'm glad to see overwhelming bipartisan support in the Senate to help lower housing costs. The ROAD to Housing Act will help increase our housing supply and put the American Dream of homeownership in reach for more working families. Let's get it passed and signed into law.
Great to see the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative at work cleaning up the Detroit River. I am working to extend the GLRI so that projects like this have the resources they need to ensure our Great Lakes and Michigan’s waterways stay healthy for future generations. www.freep.com/story/news/e...
Happy Pride, Michigan! Pride Month is a time to elevate and recognize the generations of LGBTQ Americans who bravely stood up for their basic rights. We must band together to ensure that Michiganders are free to be their real, authentic selves.

President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence should concern every American. The intelligence community is supposed to provide accurate and objective intelligence, free of any political interference.
Here are a few of the “partisan” amendments Republicans rejected: -Requiring ICE agents to be clearly identified -Training ICE agents to deescalate interactions with the public -Medical care for children detained by ICE -Requiring a judicial warrant before entering a home
