FCC Commissioner Gomez is right. This FCC’s unprecedented threats against broadcasters are already suppressing free speech by sending the message that media companies hosting content critical of the President will invite government retaliation. That is censorship and not what America stands for.

Free speech is fundamental to our country. When the FCC threatens to revoke media licenses just because the President gets offended, it’s a direct attack on Americans’ First Amendment right.
President Trump must comply with the law and its deadline to release all the Epstein files.
The victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice, and the country deserves transparency and accountability.
My heart goes out to the families of U.S. personnel who were killed by ISIS in Syria last weekend. I am saddened to learn that Ayad Mansoor Sakat, a Michigander serving as an interpreter, was among them.
I send my deepest condolences to their loved ones as we honor their brave service.

The Senate has passed bipartisan legislation led by Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov that will help simplify the application process for disaster victims seeking federal assistance. Currently, individuals seeking aid must complete a complex process that can take months to complete.
I condemn the vile antisemitic crime targeted at MSU's Chabad Jewish Center. This hatred has no place in Michigan or anywhere else.
My thoughts are with the Jewish community and the MSU campus during this time that should be filled with light not hate. www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/l...
This Administration thinks acting in the “public interest” means acting in “Trump’s interest.”
The FCC Chair shouldn’t threaten free speech over content the President doesn’t like. That’s not what we do in a democracy.
The national defense bill I helped craft as a member of the Armed Services Committee will support our servicemembers and help keep Michigan at the forefront of our national security.

This is simply going in the wrong direction. We should work to strengthen VA health care for veterans and their families, not eliminate tens of thousands of positions needed to deliver the quality, timely care our veterans have earned.

Michigan LCV has been an invaluable partner throughout my career. Together, we’ve made incredible progress to protect our environment and the health of all Michiganders.
I was honored receive their Lifetime Achievement Award, and I’m proud to fight alongside them in the Senate.
Today and everyday, we must continue working to ensure all Americans can celebrate their faith safely.
I'm deeply disturbed and saddened by the hateful attack in Sydney. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones, and I'm wishing the entire Jewish community peace and joy as folks gather to celebrate the start of Hanukkah today following this horrific attack.

Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov is urging DHS Secretary Noem to prioritize building out the Northern Border Mission Center, a critical tool to enhance DHS's security capabilities. Noem testified earlier this year that the development was advancing, but little progress has occurred.
Michiganders are bearing the costs of Trump’s cuts to health care and Republicans’ refusal to address the health care affordability crisis. We must extend the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies to give Americans some financial relief right now.
Secretary Hegseth needs to stop roadblocking Congress on these boat strikes in the Caribbean. Senators from both parties are demanding transparency. The American people deserve to know exactly what happened and why.

Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov is demanding the DOD Inspector General investigate the continued delays in cleanup of harmful PFAS at military sites in Michigan and across the nation.
Protecting the health of our servicemembers and communities cannot be put on hold.
@kim.senate.gov represents the good people of New Jersey with unwavering dedication. Congratulations on your first year in the Senate!
Today, we honor the 2,403 Americans that were lost during the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor.
Let us honor the brave servicemembers who took up the mantle to protect our nation and defeat tyranny. We will never forget their sacrifices.
Congratulations to Coach Taylor and the Western Michigan football team on a conference title! Wishing you all the best as you finish out a great season!

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is making made health care way more expensive. And his “concepts” of a plan to fix it aren’t good enough.
