It was great to sit down with Indivisible members from across Michigan today. Together, we'll continue to fight back against President Trump and Republicans as they try to take Michiganders' health care and food assistance away to give tax cuts to billionaires.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 6(source)

Sending warm wishes to everyone celebrating Eid al-Adha in Michigan and across the country. May this day bring peace, joy, and compassion. Eid Mubarak!

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 6(source)

It has been 81 years since the Allied Forces landed in Normandy, France to launch their assault on the Nazi regime. This D-Day we recognize the thousands of brave servicemembers who risked everything to liberate Europe.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 4(source)

President Trump’s tax bill would kick millions of Americans off health care and food assistance and raise the national deficit by $2.4 TRILLION — all to put more money in billionaires’ pockets. It’s a big, beautiful betrayal of hardworking families.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 4(source)

The bill that Pres. Trump & Republicans are trying to pass would cut health care coverage for almost 11 million Americans — including hundreds of thousands of Michiganders. Taking health care away from seniors & children to give the ultra-wealthy tax cuts makes no sense. I’ll never support that.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 3(source)

Great to meet with Gabby Giffords as Gun Violence Awareness Month begins. We must continue working to pass commonsense gun safety laws and support survivors of gun violence.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 3(source)

The Great Lakes are in our DNA as Michiganders. I’ll never stop working to keep them healthy and thriving for future generations.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 3(source)

Happy Pride Month Michigan! Everyone deserves to be treated fairly, no matter who they are or who they love. I’m proud to stand with LGBTQ+ Michiganders this month and every month.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 2(source)

Job Corps has helped countless Michiganders find a career and build a better life. The Trump administration's decision to pause this program will hurt Michigan families and our economy. As a longtime supporter of Job Corps, I'll keep fighting to protect it.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 2(source)

My bipartisan bill to build on the CHIPS and Science Act recently passed the Senate. I'm going to keep working to see it enacted into law so we can bolster American manufacturers, reduce our dependence on foreign supply chains, and create more good-paying jobs for Michiganders.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 2(source)

I am outraged and deeply disturbed by the antisemitic terror attack in Boulder yesterday. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and community, and I’m grateful for the swift action of law enforcement. We cannot tolerate this kind of hateful violence in America.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 30(source)

Always great to sit down and catch up with folks at the Mackinac Policy Conference!

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 29(source)

Congratulations to Mackinac Island's Mayor Margaret Doud — the longest serving Mayor in America. Nobody's fudging the rules on her watch!

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 28(source)

My number one priority has been — and always will be — getting things done for Michiganders. I know that the best way to make that happen is by working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. That's why I've been ranked the most effective Senator three times in a row.

I just authored a report as Ranking Member of HSGAC which found that the 19 Inspectors General that President Trump illegally fired would have saved billions more than DOGE. This is not an administration that's serious about saving taxpayer dollars.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 26(source)

Memorial Day is a solemn time to honor the heroic Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in uniform. We stand here today because of their unwavering courage and profound love for our country. Their sacrifice is a debt we can never repay, and never forget.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 23(source)

American taxpayer dollars should be invested in American manufacturers and workers. We’ve got to pass the STOP China Act to ensure the tax dollars that we invest in our transit operations don’t go to CCP-controlled companies.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 22(source)

The budget House Republicans passed this morning cuts $700 billion from Medicaid. They're trying to take lifesaving health care away from children, seniors, and people with disabilities so they can give a massive tax break to billionaires. I will never vote for something like that.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 22(source)

I’m appalled & saddened by the murder of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C. last night. My heart is with their families, the Israeli embassy staff & those at the event where this vile attack happened. We must all stand against antisemitism & hate-fueled violence.
