Whether it’s raising costs or violating our laws, Michiganders are tired of the chaos that the President is bringing to their everyday life. Unfortunately, tonight’s speech was simply an extension of what we’ve come to expect from President Trump.
Instead of calling for unity to make progress on the issues we all face as Americans, President Trump used his address to the nation to air out his personal grievances and attack those who are working to hold him accountable.
All the while, Trump stays focused on complaining about the Supreme Court’s decision and finding new ways to impose global tariffs that will only further strain our economy and raise prices for Americans. This is not what the American people want.
Four years ago, Russia launched its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, starting a war that has brought death and destruction to millions. Through it all, the Ukrainian people have remained strong. I’ll continue standing with them in their quest for freedom against tyranny.
We need better trade policies and less chaos from this Administration. As the USMCA trade agreement goes up for review, I’m calling on Trump’s top trade officials to protect Michigan jobs and American manufacturing.
Trump's cuts to health care have raised costs, leaving more Michiganders without coverage. This will only drive up the cost of health care for everyone.     Michigan families can’t afford these higher costs thanks to Republicans’ harmful policies. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/04/m...
After his recent threats, Michigan Democrats made it clear to President Trump that the Gordie Howe Bridge must open as planned this year. This new bridge will be a major economic driver, not only for Michigan but our entire country. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
Sending my condolences to the family of Rev. Jesse Jackson, one of our nation’s most renowned civil rights leaders. His decades of advocacy helped push this country toward a future with equal rights and opportunities for all Americans, no matter their race, religion, gender, or economic background.
Happy Pączki Day, Michigan! Today is more than just a chance to visit your local bakery for a delicious pączki. Today, we celebrate the vibrant Polish community and generations of Polish Michiganders who have made our state strong.
Thinking of the families and loved ones of Arielle, Brian, and Alexandria, and the entire Michigan State community that was impacted by the horrific shooting three years ago. We must honor their legacy and all victims of gun violence by continuing to fight to make change. #spartanstrong
This Valentine's Day, I'm sharing the story of my parents, who met in France during WWII and fell in love. Their courage, toughness, and bravery have stuck with me throughout my career and inspires me to meet the challenges of today.
Peters to ICE/CBP officials: "How can you expect any US citizen to follow orders from an unidentified, masked man surrounding them, given we know there are these impersonators out there who according to the FBI are committing a lot of crime?"
