Michiganders work hard and pay into Social Security their entire lives to retire with dignity and security. Today, on its 90th anniversary, I remain committed to protecting this promise for future generations and fighting against any effort to harm Social Security.
Trump’s Big Bad Bill will add over $3.5 TRILLION to our federal debt, which will make things like your home mortgage, car loan, and student loans more expensive. Republicans have done a real disservice to folks everywhere, all to give a tax break to billionaires.
On #PurpleHeartDay, we thank and honor the brave Americans who were wounded or killed in action. To all those who have made this immense sacrifice for our country, we are forever indebted to your service.
Today is the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, a landmark law that works to ensure every American can exercise their fundamental right to vote. But today, that right is under attack. Voting is the bedrock of our democracy, and we must continue to fight back against these efforts.
President Trump and AG Bondi went back on their word that they would release the Epstein files, and now Republican senators have openly said they’re “covering” for them. The American people deserve transparency.
60 years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law, expanding access to lifesaving, affordable health care for millions of Americans. Despite Republican attacks, I'll keep fighting to protect these essential programs for the next 60 years and beyond.
Under 5 U.S.C §2954, HSGAC has the unique authority to request information from any executive agency that falls within our Committee’s oversight jurisdiction. We are using that authority to request the Epstein files from AG Bondi. The American people deserve transparency.
Colleen and I have the victims and everyone affected by the horrible attack in Traverse City in our hearts. I’m grateful to the first responders and community members who acted quickly and prevented further violence.
It is past time for a lasting ceasefire that ensures that innocent civilians in Gaza receive desperately needed humanitarian aid, secures the release of the remaining hostages, and supports peace and stability in the region.
Over recent weeks the humanitarian situation in Gaza has worsened significantly. There are credible reports that innocent people are going days without eating & that life-threatening violence around aid distribution sites is making it too dangerous for families to get food, water & medical supplies.
You learn a lot when you become an Eagle Scout: how to work together, how to deal with adversity, and how to stay dry on rainy nights with nothing but a tarp. I've carried those lessons with me my whole life, and I loved sharing them with Scouts visiting Capitol Hill today.
Republicans are bypassing bipartisan laws — that many of them voted for themselves — so they can be a rubber stamp for President Trump’s harmful cuts.    This Administration is willing to put anything that helps you on the chopping block.
On Friday, I helped celebrate the opening of a brand-new gate and entrance facility at Battle Creek Air National Guard Base. This upgrade, supported by funding I worked to secure, will enhance safety and security for the servicemembers that operate on the base.
In the early morning, Republicans rolled over for President Trump and rescinded funding that many of them voted for in the first place to support local public media and U.S. security interests around the globe. My full statement:
Because of the bill President Trump just signed into law, families in our state could lose the ability to afford life-saving medical care like cancer treatments. Just to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.   It’s unconscionable.
Semiconductor chips are vital to our future. That’s why I fought for legislation to attract these investments to the U.S. But chaotic policy changes & tariffs undermine the stability businesses look for and Michigan is paying the price. I’ll keep fighting to bring more jobs home.
From tariffs to the bill he just signed into law that rips health care and food assistance away from millions of Americans –President Trump is dead set on making life more expensive for hardworking families.
