With everything going on, it’s good to know that a Senator from Michigan and a Senator from Ohio agree that we must do everything we can to keep the Sea Lamprey out of our Great Lakes.

Other countries watch how we react to someone like Vladimir Putin, and they take notes.
What do you do in politics when you are not in charge? Well, at the end of this month, the Republicans need my vote on government funding. So you better believe I’ve said, if you want my vote, we need to talk about reversing Medicaid cuts, Obamacare cuts and health care research cuts.
President Trump has systematically made America poorer and sicker. The health care decisions he made in the Big Beautiful Bill don’t just cut ACA subsidies or Medicaid— it will cause every person on private insurance to pay 10-20% more.
For example, access to Argentina's vast reserves of critical minerals, like Lithium, to break our dependence on China.
America's foreign policy needs to be rooted in helping the middle class here at home. Argentina is a partner, but instead of a taxpayer-funded bailout, we should leverage our assistance for economic wins that we can explain to the American people.
Senators don’t want to be seen working across the aisle because it’s politically costly. They won’t work with me. That’s not good for America.
Had lunch this week at Jive Turkey Southern Kitchen-- a Detroit spot serving up soul food with a lot of love. In addition to great food, this place is all about community, tradition, and pride in southern cooking. Stop by if you can!
PLC is not just teaching design. It is shaping futures, opening doors for creative talent in Detroit. Special thanks to Dr. D’Wayne Edwards for the wonderful tour!
Today, I visited Pensole Lewis College, MI’s only HBCU and hub for the next generation of designers, innovators and entrepreneurs. Walking the halls, I saw how this institution is carrying forward the legacy of Dr. Violet T. Lewis while creating new pathways in footwear, apparel and product design.
It also put some much-needed gas back in my tank: These young leaders want to contribute and make their country a better place — for their sake, and for all our sake, we need to keep pushing for what we know is right.
Yesterday, I hosted a town hall with students at Cass Tech in Detroit. From student loans to health care to homelessness, these students asked thoughtful questions, and their honesty and curiosity blew me away.

Republicans are driving us toward a shutdown and doing nothing to save your ACA tax credits.
If these credits expire:
— 4 million would lose coverage
— 22 million would pay more for insurance
— Costs would go up by $700/yr on avg
That's not how you make America healthy again.

Last week, Democrats voted for a bill that would keep the government open and restore health care funding for millions of Americans who rely on it.
Republicans blocked that bill and left town.
If the government shuts down, it's because they refused to negotiate.
Thanks for having me on!

Communities like Oscoda and Grayling fought tooth and nail to get the Defense Dept to clean up forever chemicals, and are sick and tired of roadblocks, red tape and delays. This is not a partisan issue, and President Trump and Sec. Hegseth have no excuse.

President Trump said he was going to put more money in your pocket. But can anyone name a single place where your costs have gone down, not up, since January?
You can’t only like free speech when it is on your side. We cannot become a country where whoever is in power can say, “we don’t like the talk coming out of that person or that TV host.”
