I am on my way to an Armed Services hearing to work on the Pentagon's budget, which DC calls the National Defense Authorization Act.
I break down why that's important and what I am focused on for Michigan.

It’s all about access. And with President Trump’s cuts to healthcare, access is at risk for women across Michigan. These badass women are fighting to protect it.
I met with @reproductivefreedomforall.org President Mini Timmaraju and their members from Michigan to discuss reproductive healthcare and family planning. Folks tend to forget that although Prop 3 passed in Michigan, attacks on women's health are still happening in our state and across the country.
Earlier this year President Trump made false claims about "rigged elections" in his State of the Union. Today, it's the California election. He continues to say that if his side loses, it's because it is rigged. We need to listen to what this means, and act accordingly.
You can’t beat the beauty of Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The folks here put so much care into making sure this place is here for generations to enjoy. We specifically got a behind-the-scenes look at the work being done to protect the endangered Piping Plover and the restoration of the Sleeping Bear Inn.
Bill Pulte has shown that he will go into Americans' personal records to weaponize the government against people. I have a fundamental problem with someone like that being the Director of National Intelligence, and it should send a shiver down the spine of every American.
Along the route we stopped and chatted with folks from Oryana Community Co-op, the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (who just purchased a new building right off the trail) and Short’s Brewing Company’s new investment at Logan’s Landing.
I’ve been hearing about how the TART Trail System is one of Traverse City’s hidden gems, so I had to hop on a bike to see for myself and learn the next steps for the trail.
Your Michigan Moment of the day.
Every American is paying the price for President Trump’s war.
I hope to welcome the Ambassador to Detroit soon to experience our newly revitalized Greektown in person.
This week, I met with Antonis Alexandridis, Greece’s new Ambassador to the United States. We had a great discussion about everything from Greece's important role in the NATO alliance to Michigan's vibrant Greek community.
In this week's Intel Brief, we go deep on a few topics:
1️⃣ What I heard from cherry farmers and also leaders on housing in Michigan
2️⃣ An update on the war in Iran
3️⃣ The latest on my bill to stop Trump’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund

Gun violence rips a hole in the heart of a community, and one that never fully heals. Today, on Gun Violence Awareness Day, may we remember the countless lives lost to this senseless violence.
Let's build more housing, people!
It’s not every day my job takes me to a cheese cave.
The agritourism industry is thriving Up North, and with places like Leelanau Cheese Company and Shady Lane Cellars it’s not hard to see why.
(oh, and happy National Cheese Day to those who celebrate)
WATCH: President Trump has now doubled down on his slush fund.
I joined @thewarningses.bsky.social to discuss my bill to stop it.
Thank you to Traverse Connect, NorthSky Consortium, the Coast Guard, and everyone who joined our tech innovation roundtable discussion. The view at Discovery Pier isn’t bad either!
Traverse City is a growing hub for tech innovation and drone deployment. These kinds of drones have a ton of uses here at home – from crop management to disaster response after some of our recent storms.
Cuts to the forest service hurt Michigan’s fight against invasive species like the Emerald Ash Borer, a bug that has been causing severe damage to Michigan’s forests.
