Throughout our hearing, Secretary Hegseth expected the American people to just pretend like they don't know that there's a problem with the war in Iran. Meanwhile, gas is $4.99 a gallon.
The American people aren’t stupid.

Because of the war in Iran, gas in Michigan is $4.99. The cost of things like fertilizer and airline tickets keeps going up. Secretary Hegseth was gung-ho about this war, and now we're at a stalemate, and the American public is feeling it in their pocketbooks.

SLOTKIN: If Trump asks you to seize voting machines during the 2026 election, will you stand up for the Constitution and say no?

As President Trump’s war in Iran drags on, we need clarity on the objectives, how we’re going to pay for it and how we are going to end it.

Chinese vehicles are a threat to our economic security and our national security. I am joining with Senator Moreno to stop them from entering the U.S. market.
The Chinese Communist Party’s playbook of heavily subsidizing their product, underselling the competition, and then having a monopoly over that sector puts Michigan’s auto industry and our millions of workers at risk.
Chinese cars are a serious threat to America’s national security and Michigan’s economic security. Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels. We need to act now and get this right. My bill with Senator Moreno does just that. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The President won his election talking about what he was gonna do domestically. But as we continue to see the war drag on with Iran, it’s clear that he has become a foreign policy president.

Here's how Pete Hegseth reacted last year when I asked if there is such a thing as an illegal order.

Today, I’m joining a bipartisan effort to support the State of Michigan’s request for a federal Small Business Administration disaster declaration following the devastating tornadoes in Southwest Michigan this past March.
Allowing Chinese cars into the United States with full motion video, geolocation and the ability to be hacked via Bluetooth is a threat to our national security and our economic security.
