My heart is with the families and everyone affected by the violence at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. I am monitoring the situation, and people should follow the direction of law enforcement. I’m grateful for these first responders for their quick response.

Trump’s war with Iran is already driving up costs for American families at the gas pump. Before energy prices go up even more, the American people deserve real answers from the president on why we are in this war in the first place and how we’re getting out of it. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...
The Constitution makes clear that Congress has the power to declare war. President Trump must make his case before the American people and tell us the end goal of these operations.
l’m devastated by the damages and lives lost from the tornadoes that ripped through Southwest Michigan, and grateful to the first responders who are providing support. Please visit www.michigan.gov/miready to find up to date resources - we’re here for you, Michigan.
Americans don’t want to send their sons and daughters into harm’s way when there is no imminent threat to the United States. They want us focused on lowering costs here at home. Not more wars.
Great talking with you, Symone D. Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele on Iran, DHS funding, and more!
Congress decides whether we go to war, not the president. Trump needs to justify these military operations to the American people, especially now that six American soldiers lost their lives. That’s why I’m voting YES on @kaine.senate.gov’s War Power Resolution.
Reposted byU.S. Senator Gary Peters
Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov are urging Secretary Noem to REVERSE plans for the Romulus detention center, which would displace important manufacturing jobs to house individuals in an unsafe facility.
Mourning the loss of the three American servicemembers who were killed in action during military operations against Iran. My heart goes out to their families and loved ones. I am forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.
This is me soon after I joined the Scouts. I went on to become an Eagle Scout, where I learned how to work with kids from different backgrounds to reach a common goal, like staying dry on rainy nights with nothing but a tarp.
Every kid should have access to these kinds of lessons.
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.
This is especially true in Michigan, where tariffs have caused uncertainty across our critical automotive sector, slowed economic growth, and threatened good-paying jobs.
Despite his claims tonight, President Trump’s chaotic tariff strategy has been an economic disaster for families and businesses across the country.
Trump’s tariffs aren’t working for Michigan. They have brought higher prices for consumers, and more chaos and confusion for Michigan workers and businesses. www.wilx.com/2026/02/20/t...
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.
