What is one country also investing heavily in agricultural research? It's China.
That's why this Administration's $600M cut to ag research makes no sense. We cannot go backward on investing in the future of agriculture. It impacts our farmers and our national security.

Michigan leaders on both sides of the aisle worked for over a decade to bring F-15EX fighters to Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Last month's announcement was a big win. But next, we need a plan in place to ensure this becomes a reality and these fighters arrive on time.
Medicaid impacts all of us, even if you don’t have it as your primary insurance. Two out of three Michiganders in nursing homes rely on Medicaid. Without it, nursing homes across the state would have to shut down or scale back. gandernewsroom.com/2025/05/16/o...
The former Wurtsmith Air Force Base contaminated the water that Michiganders in Oscoda rely on for drinking, swimming, and fishing. When the Trump Administration rolled back clean drinking water rules last week, they put the clean-up plans in Oscoda at risk.
What is habeas corpus and why is it under attack from the Trump Administration?
As someone who defended the homeland for a living, no one has to tell me about the need for a secure border. But it’s dangerous overreach to detain or deport American citizens and people who have the legal status to be here.
EPA lifting the emergency order is yet another milestone and a testament to their collaborative work. But that work does not end here. Both to right that unbelievable wrong, and to ensure that every family in Flint and across Michigan never again questions what is coming out of their taps.
This is an important moment for the great City of Flint, its leaders, advocates and people. After a catastrophic poisoning of their community, they fought for over a decade, together, for their right to clean drinking water. www.michiganpublic.org/transportati...
Why is it worrying that President Trump accepted a Qatari jet?
What’s going on with President Trump’s cryptocurrency?
What's going on with Medicaid cuts, and how does it impact you
We’ve made real, progress on PFAS. It has been a priority for me, including the push for the EPA to set a standard. But the Trump Administration’s rollback of protections to curb these harmful chemicals makes our drinking water less safe. In Michigan, clean water isn’t partisan – it’s our heritage.
There's a lot happening. In my Intel Briefing, we break it down:
1️⃣Medicaid cuts that will spike costs and kick people off their health care
2️⃣Foreign influence from the President's cryptocurrency and accepting a Qatari jet
3️⃣Attacks on the right to have your day in court
Police Week is a pretty impressive show here in DC, and this time I got some time with the Detroit Police Lieutenants and Sergeants Association. We discussed strengthening the force and how mental health calls put a strain on law enforcement and other first responders.
For all those Michiganders who’ve worked on this issue, I know the rollback of clean water rules on PFAS is a gut punch.
I urge you to stay in the fight, I am right there with you.
The Trump Administration’s rollback of protections to curb harmful forever chemicals will make our drinking water less safe.
My statement on the weakening of federal PFAS clean water rules. ⬇️
The President is taking a $400 million foreign gift from Qatar. Beyond that, there is the sheer security risk of letting a foreign country deliver Air Force One, one of the most sensitive assets we have.
The road to peace and stability will be long and winding, but after all the Syrians have gone through, we want them to have a real shot of leaving war and extremism behind them.
I had *just* met with a big group of Syrian-Michiganders last week when the news of sanctions relief was announced. Now the Syrian diaspora, anchored by a strong and successful community in Michigan, is ready to help start a new chapter in Syria, and help support recovery and reconstruction there.
Thank you to the federal law enforcement who prevented this attack. This is a reminder that the threat of terrorism on U.S. soil is very real, and protecting our bases in Michigan from hostile drone attacks in particular needs to be a priority. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...
