ICE’s secret memo authorizing agents to enter people’s homes and arrest them without a judicial warrant is unlawful. This Administration’s disregard for our Constitution threatens all of us. Our government is not above the laws it enforces.

I warned in a report that DOGE was putting Americans’ most sensitive data at risk. Now, news reports show that DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group. They broke the law AND endangered your privacy.

Trump gave this economy an A+++++, while Michiganders are seeing prices go up and up. We need sound policies that lower costs.

The Trump Administration is weaponizing government to intimidate people who disagree with Trump. Senator Slotkin's service to this country and Michiganders speaks for itself. I'm proud that she speaks truth to power.

Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like. The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work. Watch my full response. youtube.com/shorts/rM4PY...

History shows what happens when politicians try to influence interest rates: more inflation, higher prices, and more economic uncertainty. The Trump Administration should focus on policies that will actually lower costs, not risking the independence of the Federal Reserve.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJan 14(source)

"Let China come in," he said. President Trump wants to open the door to foreign adversaries like China who will undercut our automakers and pose a major national security risk. Michigan companies and workers should be building the future of the auto industry.

Without a clear plan approved by Congress, this Administration is dragging us toward another forever war that would risk American lives and cost significant taxpayer dollars. Our resources would be better spent on lowering costs, from groceries to housing to childcare, for Americans here at home.

American servicemembers and communities deserve access to safe drinking water, free of toxic PFAS chemicals. I secured language in the national defense bill to help hold Trump's Defense Department accountable for PFAS contamination at military installations all across the country.

Five years ago, we faced one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. If we cannot learn from January 6th, we are setting ourselves up to repeat it. Today, I urge my colleagues to join me in committing to protecting our democracy and most cherished freedoms before we lose them for good.

Flight delays are expected in the Caribbean and around Venezuela at this time. Michiganders who are stuck right now can visit this State Department site for emergency updates. Contact airlines directly if your flight has been impacted. mytravel.state.gov/s/step

My statement on the U.S. military raid in Venezuela:

The United States does not need to drag itself into another forever war that puts American servicemembers in harm’s way and has no end in sight. The President said the United States will now run the nation of Venezuela. The American people did not ask for this.

There’s no question Nicolas Maduro is a dictator and bad actor in the region, but that does not grant the Administration unilateral authority to wage war without Congressional authorization. I’m also deeply concerned this action could embolden our adversaries like Russia and China to attempt to remove the legitimate leaders of U.S. allies around the world.

The Trump Administration needs to immediately provide Congress and the American people with the legal justification for this mission and how they plan to ensure it does not lead to the destabilization of Venezuela and the entire region.
