On Yom HaShoah, we remember and mourn the more than 6 million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. We must continue to stand against antisemitism and all forms of hate.
Head Start provides children across Michigan with a strong foundation for their education. But, without explanation, the Trump administration closed regional Head Start offices that ensure local programs have the resources to support students and families. I’m demanding answers.
Secretary Hegseth’s carelessness with our military’s most sensitive information is outrageous and continues to put our national security and the safety of American servicemembers at risk. He has once again shown that he is not fit for the critical job of leading our Armed Forces.
I join the world in mourning the loss of Pope Francis today. He led with compassion and advocated for the most vulnerable among us. His message of peace and love for all people will live on and continue to inspire hope for a brighter future.
More than 2.5 MILLION Michiganders receive quality, affordable health care thanks to Medicaid. But President Trump wants to slash life-changing care for seniors, children, and working families — all to pay for tax cuts for his billionaire buddies. I’ll keep fighting back.
President Trump and his administration must follow the rule of law, obey the Supreme Court's order, and return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to his family in Maryland.   Refusing to do so would set an extremely alarming precedent for families in Michigan and across the country.
President Trump has shown that he has the power to swing the market singlehandedly. There's a real possibility that some of his billionaire buddies made out like bandits around his announcement of the tariff pause. We need an investigation to see if any crime was committed.
Northern Strike is one of our country's TOP joint training exercises, and it showcases the best of Michigan's top-notch defense capabilities.   Leaders from key areas across our military agree that it’s going to continue to be a keystone for our strategy moving forward.
When severe weather strikes, we all need to join together in the recovery effort. I'm so grateful to everyone who's been working day in and day out in the wake of this week's ice storm in Northern Michigan, and stand ready to support their work.
I’m so thankful to everyone who has stepped up and helped Northern Michigan in the wake of last week's ice storm, from line workers helping to get folks’ power back on, to first responders keeping everyone safe, to volunteers delivering food to their neighbors. upnorthlive.com/news/local/r...
President Trump’s latest tariffs are just a sales tax on your groceries, gas, and other goods. Workers and manufacturers face an uncertain future, while your family will end up paying more for the essentials. This isn’t a real plan — it’s chaos. And Americans will pay the price.
