While on a daylong trip to Port Huron, we convened a meeting of 19 local leaders from the city like the Mayor, City Manager, and superintendent, to elected and economic leaders from across the St. Clair County region.
Here's what I heard: 🧵

I look forward to continuing our work with the MDOT Blue Water Bridge team and to always push past the political noise to support our infrastructure, the safety of our border, and border communities.
They’re also the first line of defense for drug trafficking and illegal border crossings. We discussed their upcoming plans for plaza expansion, which will begin construction next month.
This port of entry is incredibly important to Michigan. On average, it processes nearly 2,800 commercial vehicles and over 8,500 passengers in a single day, including many Canadians who work in Port Huron in our hospitals and schools.
In Port Huron, I met with @michigandot.bsky.social yesterday on their plans at the Blue Water Bridge — an international, self-sustaining facility connecting MI and Point Edward, Ontario.
Luckily, the folks in Port Huron continue to put their heads down and do the work, even as the uncertainty around tariffs rages on in D.C.
Canadian tourist visits are already down — and the constant work and intel sharing between the American and Canadian sides of the bridge punch a huge hole in the White House’s declaration of Canada as “a threat to U.S national security.”
But it’s impossible to discuss how vital cross-border trade to Michigan is without discussion of how the tariffs will impact this area.
Michigan continues to lead the way on what a strong, vibrant, and functional border looks like. Yesterday, I visited the CBP at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron — one of the northern border’s busiest ports of entry for trade, travel, and security. They seized 1,400 lbs of cocaine last year.
You can’t turn chicken shit into chicken salad.
As Hegseth’s staffer is now telling the world, Hegseth has turned the Pentagon into a place of chaos. Our military and our country deserve serious leaders. If he cared about the institution he should man up, acknowledge he’s a distraction and resign.
No matter what is going on around us, Easter is always a reminder of renewal, and Spring is a season of hope and change. I wish a happy Easter to all those celebrating today, and I hope your day is filled with joy, reflection, community, family and friends!

This weekend marked 100 days since I was sworn in as your Senator for Michigan.
A recap:
✅ Visited 40 MI cities
✅ Co-led 63 bills and led my first Senate bill intro
✅ Returned $5 million to Michiganders and closed 530 cases
✅ Gave Dem Response to Trump's Joint Address

The Trump Administration must obey that directive, from a separate but equal branch of the U.S. government. Their continued failure to obey a court order from the highest court in the land calls into question the entire American Constitutional project. (2/2)
Let's cut through it: Mr. Abrego Garcia is entitled to due process under U.S. law. That simple fact is so clear that *this* Supreme Court has unanimously ordered his return from El Salvador. (1/2)
Remember, if you or a member of your family needs assistance with federal agencies like the VA, Social Security, or Medicare — my team and I can help.

Remember these faces, folks, because among them may someday be future elected leaders from the great state of Michigan.
One of the absolute best things I get to do as a Senator is speak to students on their first trip to DC.
Last week, students from Brighton K-12 and Capac Jr. High School peppered me with thoughtful questions about the sausage-making of government.
During Black Maternal Health Week, get to know this piece of legislation. It would be transformative. #BMHW25
In MI, Black moms are 2.8 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. It’s heartbreaking, and 100% preventable. That’s why I support the Momnibus Act, which invests in programs to address this crisis.
