Strong broadband supply chains are essential to fast, reliable internet. My bipartisan bill would help identify supply chain issues before they impact folks at home. I’ll continue to fight for high-speed internet access for all Michiganders. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
My alma mater, Rochester High School, unveiled a new Veterans “Wall of Honor” today to recognize RHS alumni and faculty who have served in our Armed Forces. It is an honor for me to be recognized alongside my father and the courageous men and women who have served in our community.
On Veterans Day, we honor those who have served in our Armed Forces and defended the American ideals we all hold dear. God bless all of those who served and are currently serving. 🇺🇸
50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald and all 29 of her crew were lost to Lake Superior. @klobuchar.senate.gov and I are introducing a resolution to help honor their memory and ensure their legend lives on.
Trump's Administration could release the full SNAP funding currently available right now. Yet, he has fought it every step of the way. Hungry children should not be penalized as we keep working to reopen the government.
It's a very simple compromise: Protect existing health care credits, end the shutdown.   We must take action on rising costs for families who are shopping for their health care right now, and we can end this shutdown.
I am proposing a very simple deal to reopen the government: - Include a one-year clean extension of the current health care tax credits to immediately address Americans’ rising costs. - Create a bipartisan committee that will continue negotiations on reforms ahead of next year’s enrollment period
Wishing Speaker Emerita Pelosi all the best in her retirement. Americans may never know what your leadership has meant to our democracy. I am grateful to have seen it firsthand as we got things done, from protecting consumers after the ‘08 crash to expanding access to health care. Thank you.
Trump’s overhaul of the East Wing raises questions about a “pay-to-play” scheme that involves government contracts and preferential treatment for private donors. We need answers.
Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov is demanding that President Trump provide answers about the construction of his $300 million ballroom – backed by groups and private donors seeking preferential treatment.
Here’s the reality people are facing with health care plans. Thanks to Republican’s inaction, monthly bills are going through the roof. That’s why it is critical that we do not cut critical health care credits and exacerbate the rising health care costs caused by Republican’s Big Ugly Bill.
I was at Lighthouse in Pontiac today seeing the local impact of the current lapse in SNAP benefits. Especially when higher prices are already making it harder for folks to put food on the table, the Trump Administration must release all of the available funding for SNAP.
