I join the Armenian community today in mourning the 1.5 million innocent lives murdered in the Armenian genocide. I condemn the continued human rights violations impacting Armenians and proudly stand with Michigan's resilient Armenian community as they share their stories.
There have been reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may have tried to invest heavily in the defense industry just before the start of the war with Iran. I am demanding answers. If this is true, it’s a betrayal to the troops who are risking their lives in this war. abcnews.com/amp/Politics...
There is no authority for the President to make sweeping changes to our elections. But that’s exactly what President Trump is trying to do. The executive order goes against the very heart of the free and fair elections that make our nation a strong democracy.
The Trump Administration is trampling all over Americans’ rights and Congress’ authority. Our Constitution empowers Congress to be a check on a lawless Administration, and I’m discouraged by how little my Republican colleagues are pushing back on these abuses.
This is a dangerous effort to rewrite the history of January 6th and will only further embolden the people who are willing to use violence to undermine our democracy. President Trump is sending a clear message – loyalty to him is more important than the rule of law. www.cbsnews.com/news/doj-mov...
At least 13 American servicemembers were killed and hundreds more have been injured. Michigan gas has jumped to nearly $4 a gallon. Fertilizer costs have increased dramatically for our farmers.   That’s why today I voted to reassert Congress’s authority on war powers and end this conflict.
This Arab American Heritage Month, I’m proud to recognize the countless contributions that Arab Americans have made to our state, country, and economy that are key to our nation’s diverse fabric.
A strong workforce pipeline in the maritime trades is critical to both America’s national security and Michigan’s economy. I’m proud that my CADETS Act is helping students, like those serving at our Great Lakes Maritime Academy in Northern Michigan, afford their education and land in-demand jobs.
As we see these incredible images of our planet from Artemis II, I want to give a special shoutout to the Michigan engineers and workers who built the Space Launch System. Everyone from the suppliers to Christina Koch, you make Michigan proud! www.detroitnews.com/story/news/n...
The President started this war flying by the seat of his pants. Now he’s threatening an outrageous, unconscionable escalation. We need a clear exit strategy, not a President recklessly putting even more U.S. servicemembers and innocent lives in harm’s way.
Very exciting that Michigan’s own Christina Koch is part of this historic Artemis II space mission. I’m proud to watch American ingenuity at its peak as these brave astronauts journey to the moon for the first time in decades. www.freep.com/story/news/l...
Because of late Michigander Gerald Elliot’s story, veterans can no longer be denied VA burial benefits if they choose to receive hospice care outside of a VA facility. I’m proud to lead the fight to extend this commonsense law. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
