3 years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. As a result, women today have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers did. We must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to restore every woman’s right to make their own health care decisions, no matter where they live.
10 years ago, the Obergefell v. Hodges decision affirmed that love is love, and that marriage equality is a fundamental right in this country. Today, we celebrate a decade of progress and recommit ourselves to the fight for equality.
When officers carrying out immigration enforcement cover their faces and don't identify themselves, it risks escalation. That's dangerous for both law enforcement officers and the individuals being detained. They must identify themselves for everyone’s safety.
Modernizing the Soo Locks is long overdue, especially because an unscheduled outage of the Poe Lock would be devastating to our national economy. I’m going to keep working to make sure construction of the new Lock gets across the finish line.
Virgil Smith was a consummate public servant, and his passing will be felt deeply in Detroit and across Michigan. He was also my dear friend. I served with Virgil in the State Senate, where I saw his drive and passion every single day. Colleen and I send our love to his family.
Three years ago, the conservative majority of the Supreme Court stripped millions of women of their reproductive freedom. With Republicans across the country still working to criminalize vital health care, we must remain committed to protecting the fundamental right to choose.
On Juneteenth, we commemorate the closing of one of our nation’s darkest chapters, and recommit ourselves to addressing the systemic inequalities and racial disparities that persist in our society.   Together, we must uphold our nation’s core ideal: liberty and justice for all.
During his confirmation process, Sec. Hegseth told us time & again that he wants accountability across the board. But today he made it clear he doesn’t hold himself to the same standards he demands of others.   That's a failure of leadership. Our servicemembers deserve better.
President Trump is trying to take health care and food assistance away from millions of Americans so he can pay for tax cuts for billionaires. I'm calling on my Republican colleagues to stand up for their constituents and say no to this Administration.
Severe weather doesn’t stop at night. We need around the clock, 24/7 monitoring. I introduced the bipartisan FORECAST Act to protect National Weather Service offices from President Trump's staffing cuts and hiring freeze that could leave Michiganders in the dark.
The Trump Admin’s deployment of federalized National Guard members and active-duty Marines to Los Angeles is dangerous and intentionally provocative. I’m calling on Chair Paul to bring Secretaries Noem and Hegseth before HSGAC to provide answers regarding the Admin’s actions.
I’m absolutely horrified by these targeted attacks. My thoughts are with Rep. Melissa and Mark Hortman’s family as they grieve, and with Sen. John Hoffman and his wife as they undergo treatment. We cannot tolerate this vile political violence in our country.
UPDATE: Writings mentioning names of multiple lawmakers were found in the car of person suspected of killing Democratic Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, and injuring a second lawmaker, Minnesota police official says.
The way Senator Padilla was treated today is outrageous and inexcusable. He was doing his job and trying to get information for his constituents. We need accountability for the personnel who forced him to the ground and handcuffed him and immediate answers from the Admin.
Invasive carp pose an existential threat to the long-term health of the Great Lakes. That's why I'm so committed to finishing the Brandon Road Interbasin Project — which will become a cutting-edge fish-deterrence system.
This spring’s devastating ice storm disrupted the lives and businesses of folks across Northern Michigan. That’s why I pressed the SBA to provide needed assistance, and I’m thrilled that Michigan’s request was just approved to help communities recover from the storm.
I welcome this commitment from GM to expand their U.S. production and protect good auto jobs in our state. Michigan workers are the best in the world, and this investment will help ensure that they continue to lead the way in automotive manufacturing.
