I condemn the vile antisemitic crime targeted at MSU's Chabad Jewish Center. This hatred has no place in Michigan or anywhere else. My thoughts are with the Jewish community and the MSU campus during this time that should be filled with light not hate. www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/l...
Police investigating swastika painted on Jewish Center at MSU as hate crime
The swastika appeared on the Jewish Center on Albert Street in recent days, East Lansing police said.

This Administration thinks acting in the “public interest” means acting in “Trump’s interest.” The FCC Chair shouldn’t threaten free speech over content the President doesn’t like. That’s not what we do in a democracy.

Michigan LCV has been an invaluable partner throughout my career. Together, we’ve made incredible progress to protect our environment and the health of all Michiganders. I was honored receive their Lifetime Achievement Award, and I’m proud to fight alongside them in the Senate.

I'm deeply disturbed and saddened by the hateful attack in Sydney. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones, and I'm wishing the entire Jewish community peace and joy as folks gather to celebrate the start of Hanukkah today following this horrific attack.

Michiganders are bearing the costs of Trump’s cuts to health care and Republicans’ refusal to address the health care affordability crisis. We must extend the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies to give Americans some financial relief right now.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 10(source)
Secretary Hegseth needs to stop roadblocking Congress on these boat strikes in the Caribbean. Senators from both parties are demanding transparency. The American people deserve to know exactly what happened and why.

On my 1 year anniversary in the Senate, I reflect on what it means to be both a caregiver and a United States Senator. As I begin my own personal caregiving journey, I promise to fight for the care this country deserves, as I would for my own loved ones.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 7(source)
Today, we honor the 2,403 Americans that were lost during the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor.   Let us honor the brave servicemembers who took up the mantle to protect our nation and defeat tyranny. We will never forget their sacrifices.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 3(source)
Dr. Brown is right – our commitment to veterans must go beyond just a 'thank you.' It's about showing up to make sure they get the benefits they earned, like health care, workforce opportunities, and a dignified burial. We should all be behind that.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 2(source)
I support investigations into the boat strikes in the Caribbean. If it is true that Secretary Hegseth or others gave an illegal order, they need to be held accountable. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I’ll keep pushing to get answers. The buck stops with Hegseth.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 1(source)
Michiganders are facing higher costs and the Trump Admin’s denial of disaster relief is now driving up their electricity prices even more. Federal assistance eases the burden on communities when disasters strike. These denials are a betrayal to Michiganders who need help.
