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...

In this week's Intel Briefing, we break down 3 important topics:
1️⃣ The Gordie Howe Bridge and how it will help Michiganders
2️⃣ How to stay safe during tornadoes and other extreme weather
3️⃣ What it could look like if Pres. Trump tries to interfere in our elections

We need future leaders like them in Michigan and across the country. I commend their dedication to public service. Thanks for stopping by! @umich.edu
This week, I had the chance to talk with the next generation of leaders from the University of Michigan Public Service Intern Program. We had insightful conversations about what it’s like to serve as a Senator, bipartisanship, and the overwhelming need for younger leadership in our politics.
Two million Michiganders rely on Social Security. The Trust Fund is projected to run out in 2032, and Congress has bipartisan options to fix it. I break it down.
That does not make us safe. We want the military to be the best fighting force it can be, and it can’t do that when its morale is being tested and people are leaving.
So, between morale and loss of qualified senior enlisted and senior officers, we are seeing a real change in our military that's affecting things not just at the top level, but also all the way down to our most junior officers.
... No one’s ever going to give me a merit-based promotion and so maybe I’ll retire. Maybe I’ll get out early.”
I’m hearing young people, particularly young women and young officers of color, who are saying to me, “I planned to be in the military for 20 or 30 years, but now I feel like there is going to be a ceiling on me succeeding in this institution....
I am hearing from a ton of people who have been career military officers who are saying, “look if anyone of color or if every woman is being stripped out of these lists, how am I to understand who and how can get promoted.”
What I am hearing about from folks in uniform is a new secret vetting process where people in the Department of Defense are looking at someone’s social media history. Looking at whether they attended a Pride event or posted something on their personal Facebook page about Martin Luther King Day.
Just this year, 40 military officers have been forcibly removed from those promotion lists. Over half of them are either women, or people of color. There seems to be a pointed effort to get rid of people who are not white men who are on the promotion list by merit.
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.
The war in Iran is driving up costs here at home. If and when the Strait of Hormuz opens up, and global shipping is resumed it will be important to hold oil and gas companies accountable and make sure gas prices are again coming down.
I’ll take any chance I can get to talk to manufacturers, suppliers, investors, and workers who can turn an idea into something real and create good jobs along the way. Thanks to Traverse Connect for having me at your Reshore Summit!
Whether it’s on land, in the water, or in the sky — new technology should be built by Michiganders, many of whom were in the room with me in Traverse City last week. Companies like Sharrow Marine, whose propeller technology is groundbreaking (and it’s made right here in Michigan!)
