I think you’ve raised a lot of concerns in your testimony over the last couple of days, but the idea that the administration would put that kind of language out there to intimidate and scare people out of freedom of speech is something that is the most anti-American thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Slotkin: You can’t want the big job but then not answer the big questions. I think the idea that First Amendment activities would be quote “anti-American” or threaten the reputation of this administration... you understand that you are creating a climate of fear.
Duncan: The political appointees. OMB does not issue grants. We issue guidance, uniform guidance on grants. So, I would not make decisions on a specific grant.
Hal Duncan: Senator, again you are asking hypothetical questions. The ultimate deciders of these grants will be the political employees at the agencies. I would imagine in this situation it would likely be HHS.
Slotkin: The political appointees? Like yourself?
Sen. Slotkin: If a domestic violence shelter receives a federal grant, but they also post complaints about this administration’s cutting of domestic violence funding, will that put them at risk of being labeled anti-American or threatening the reputation of this administration?
The most anti-American thing I have seen in a long time...
Read this exchange I had with Hal Duncan, President Trump’s nominee for Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget:
Time and time again, President Trump, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Jeanine Pirro have weaponized the federal government against their perceived enemies. The intimidation is the point. It won’t work.
I was glad to meet with SMART General President Michael Coleman and his leadership team to discuss issues impacting workers, like supporting veterans with apprenticeship opportunities and why we have to stop politicizing projects that support good-paying jobs.
Our sheet metal, HVAC and transportation workers are foundational to our economy. Without them and our other trades, we can't build things.
Our elections are safe and secure — that’s the top line. But as President Trump continues to cast doubt on our elections, we need to be prepared. I’ve been working through scenarios to ensure we have the tools to protect our democratic process.

After further violence with ICE this year, accountability and oversight are a bare minimum.
Make sure emergency alerts are turned on in your phone's settings, and take every tornado warning seriously. It could save your life.

After the deadly tornadoes in Southwest Michigan, I heard the same question over and over: Are we seeing more severe weather? I met with the National Weather Service and FEMA, and the answer is yes.
The recently passed bipartisan housing bill cuts unnecessary red tape that can add thousands of dollars to the cost of building a home. If we want more affordable housing, we need to make it easier and less expensive to build.
Beyond trade, this bridge strengthens the ties of employment, family, culture, and friendship that connect Michigan and Canada. If you head across, don't forget your passport!
The Gordie Howe International Bridge is officially open! Canada is Michigan's largest trading partner, with more than $80 billion in goods crossing our border every year.

What is happening inside the military with promotions and firings: We have a ton of people who are being removed from promotion lists. They’re being recommended by those in uniform, and they are being stripped out by Pete Hegseth.
Our union workers are often the first to get wind of issues with the federal government in workplaces, so it was good to sit down and hear directly from them. Steelworkers are always welcome in my office (even if they are from Ohio).
Our elections are safe and secure, but President Trump is pulling pages right out of the authoritarian playbook. We have to listen to exactly what he is saying and be ready. www.notus.org/2026-electio...
