The Administration and Republican leadership in Congress should be working with us in good faith to end the shutdown as quickly as possible and ensure Americans can access the resources they depend on.
The Trump Administration is withholding Michiganders' food assistance for political gain, while doing nothing to reopen the government or address the growing health care affordability crisis in this country.
I’m leading a bill to ensure our service members and federal employees get the pay they have missed so far due to the shutdown. People need to pay their bills now. Simple as that. I encourage my colleagues to get behind it as we work to address the health care crisis and end this shutdown.
I fought tooth-and-nail to pass the Affordable Care Act when I first came to Congress. I won't stand by now as Republicans rip health care away from millions of Americans. We must ensure families can access health care.
Republicans’ inaction is allowing health care costs to continue to go up for millions of Americans.  And with President Trump’s Big Ugly Bill making it even harder for folks to access health care, we need a plan to bring those costs down. I stand ready to find a bipartisan path forward.
I am working to protect access to lifesaving care and prevent health care costs from going up even more – especially after their Big Ugly Bill just outright cut health care for millions of Americans.
Rising health care costs are alarming for any family. Republicans’ inaction on this health care crisis is leaving Michiganders with uncertainty and worry.
This is a common story. People still don’t know HOW MUCH they will pay, but know it is going to be more. A woman from Houghton wrote in and told me she was ONLY able to afford insurance because of the healthcare.gov tax credits and now is worried she will have to drop it. She received this letter.
No one should live in fear in their own home. This #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, I call on all Michiganders to help spread awareness of the resources available to those in need. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
They aren’t sending their best to DOGE. A whistleblower reported to @hsgac.senate.gov that a 19-year-old staffer put Social Security numbers on an unsecured cloud database. He lost his previous job after leaking sensitive data. President Trump should immediately end this reckless operation.
The Affordable Care Act is a lifeline for Michiganders like Alana. After being laid off, she was able to afford health care for her family while finding new work because of the ACA premium tax credits. This is why we are fighting to make health insurance more affordable.
Sharing a few of the messages I’ve received from Michiganders about how rising health care costs will impact them and their families. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. We must work together to help folks access the health care they need.
This Trump Administration has revoked media access over news coverage that didn't flatter the President, attacked outlets that published content that Trump doesn't like, and launched baseless investigations into Trump's perceived political enemies. Gov't censorship is a threat to all Americans.
President Trump wants to cancel nearly a billion dollars that would expand auto manufacturing in our state and help Michigan workers succeed. Cancelling these projects will jeopardize good Michigan jobs and our competitiveness against China.
The largest Michigan grant in question is a $500 million award for GM to convert its Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant from making ICE cars to EVs.
The Affordable Care Act has literally saved lives in Michigan and across the country. That’s why I fought tooth-and-nail to pass it, and that’s why I am still fighting to make health care more affordable.
