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...
Grand Rapids native Christina Koch to make history on Artemis II mission
Although no lunar landing is expected, the mission will allow the four astronauts to test systems and hardware for future expeditions to the surface.

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...

On Vietnam War Veterans Day, we recognize the brave men and women who served our country and sacrificed so much in the Vietnam War. I will never stop working to ensure all veterans receive the care and benefits they earned in service.

Without clearly explaining to Congress and the American people why we’re at war in the first place, the Trump Administration is putting our servicemembers into harm's way and sending more taxpayer money to a war with Iran. It’s simply unacceptable.

16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act became law. Despite Republicans' repeated attempts to weaken that historic bill, the ACA has literally saved millions of lives by helping Americans afford comprehensive health care.

Prior to Trump’s war with Iran, his Administration removed 1/3rd of America’s cybersecurity workforce. Iran’s cyber attacks, like the one in my home state, prove the importance of maintaining a strong cybersecurity workforce for our national security.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 16(source)
The reality of President Trump’s war with Iran is higher gas prices here at home. The American people did not ask for this war, and they need to hear clear answers from the President on how these operations will bring lasting peace and security.
