Our nation’s debt is alarming, and Trump’s tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy are only making it worse. I took to the Senate floor once again to remind my Republican colleagues of the dangers we face if we do not change course – and do it soon.
Great to have some Michigan @teamsters.bsky.social in the office. Thank you for always bringing Michigan workers’ voices to Washington. I’m with you every step of the way in Congress to ensure fair wages and a better future for working families.
I’m very grateful to law enforcement for responding to these threats quickly. As Americans, we must reject this pattern of violence and do our part to turn the temperature down. Political differences must never lead to violence, and pointing fingers only stokes more hatred and threatens lives.
I’ll never forget how we came together as a nation after the horrific terrorist attacks on 9/11. Today, I’m proud to continue to lead a bipartisan effort to establish "Patriot Week" - which honors the sacrifices made on that dark day. Special thanks to Oakland Co. Judge Warren for his partnership.
On this 24th anniversary of 9/11, may we honor the memory of the 2,977 Americans who lost their lives, the families whose loved ones never came home, and the first responders who selflessly ran into danger. Let us never forget the strength of a united America.
I am praying for Charlie Kirk, his family and the students at Utah Valley University who were impacted by today’s despicable shooting. We must stand against all political violence. It has no place in our democracy.
Many Michigan aerospace manufacturers directly support @NASA's work. But unfortunately this Administration has created a lot of uncertainty about the future of NASA & critical missions like Artemis. These missions drive economic growth & discovery. We must continue to invest in space exploration.
Bill Nye and I agree: the United States must continue to lead the world in science and innovation. NASA is at the heart of that mission, so we can't stop fighting to protect their vital work 🚀
My PROSWIFT Act has helped improve our nation’s ability to predict severe space weather events that could harm us here on Earth. This Administration wants to cut funding for that program, despite it being cost-effective and essential to protecting public safety. I’ll keep fighting back.
Last week I had the chance to stop by the Air Zoo and Flight Innovation Center in Kalamazoo. Those folks are doing some great work to preserve our nation’s history through restoring aircraft and teaching the next generation about aviation.
From autoworkers and teamsters, to teachers and nurses, unions built the American middle-class and lifted up ALL workers in the process. This Labor Day Weekend, I'm once again calling on my colleagues to come together and pass the PRO Act.
Western Michigan University is home to a world-class aviation training program that prepares students to land good-paying, in-demand jobs. Great to tour their facilities today and meet the folks who are training the next generation of pilots and aviation technicians.
From cutting health care and food assistance to disrupting Head Start & other essential community programs, the Trump Administration’s policies are hurting hardworking families in our state. We have to fight back.
Capital Area Community Services in Lansing provides vital support to folks throughout the region. Like so many in our state, their work has been impacted by the chaos & harmful policies of the Trump Admin. I was glad to have the opportunity to hear from them directly today about these challenges.
