Today marks the seasonal closing of the Soo Locks for winter maintenance. These locks are important to our economy, moving iron ore and other cargo that support thousands of Michigan jobs and power the U.S. economy.

Right now, speaking out against the abuse of power is the most patriotic thing we can do.

Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like. The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work. Watch my full response. youtube.com/shorts/rM4PY...

Politicians in both parties have told Michigan workers for 30 years that cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party will mean more jobs and higher paychecks. But we know what happens in reality because we've lived it: millions of our manufacturing jobs shipped overseas. Ban Chinese cars.

You’ve got to be kidding me. No. This is bad for Michigan's auto workers and bad for America.

Health care is a fundamentally broken system. It’s about time we do something about it. We need a public insurance option.

I asked Michigan law enforcement leaders what should happen in Minnesota. The response is clear: the officer in question should be put on administrative leave, and there should be an independent investigation. That hasn't happened yet, and the American people need to know why not.

We've all seen the video with our own eyes, and the American people need answers about what is going on in our streets. Secretary Noem needs to come before Congress and have that conversation with the American people.

What is going on with the President and Venezuela? Well, it’s a lot harder to end a war than to start a war. The American people are tired of endless wars. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPGV...

Americans don’t want the uniform military policing our streets. Over Christmas, the Supreme Court agreed. And, as we are seeing in Minnesota right now, having unnecessary federal forces in our streets can cause things to spin out of control. youtube.com/shorts/DCbq-...

This weekend there was a brazen act of hatred and antisemitism against Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi. This historic synagogue, the largest and only Jewish house of worship in Jackson, is not merely a building. It is the heart of a community.

A lot of people are going to see their costs double for health care. I break it down, and why I am still fighting.

Michigan, it’s been a wild 2025. This year, we traveled to every corner of both of our beautiful Peninsulas. It’s the honor of my life to represent you in the Senate — here’s to 2026!

President Trump wants to look tough because he doesn’t want to be talking about high prices or job losses.

What a day! Detroit’s future will be shaped by strong local leadership, and today that leadership was on full display at the historic swearing-in of Mayor Sheffield.

President Trump’s foreign entanglements are a distraction. He doesn’t want to talk about things like health care, housing and child care. He is distracting us because he doesn’t want to talk about any of that.

We are in an emergency. We need to act like it. Both parties have failed on housing, and that’s why I am introducing the National Housing Emergency Act of 2026.

Today I met with leadership at @NASCAR. We discussed the @MIspeedway, a Michigan treasure that generates over $400 million for our economy; NASCAR's youth racing program, and more. We have 51 NASCAR-affiliated speedways across our state, and I'm looking forward to attending a race this summer! 🏎️

Whether you go in trying to do a limited military operation or not, at the end of the day, it’s American sons and daughters from places like Michigan that are called up. Watch my speech on Venezuela, War Powers and what President Trump is doing to distract you.

Every dollar of taxpayer money President Trump gives to the largest oil corporations in the world to "rebuild" Venezuela is a dollar robbed from rebuilding America.

Take a step back and think about Hegseth’s decision to censure Mark Kelly: Former Major Hegseth is trying to demote and cut the pension of a 25-year military pilot for saying the *very same things* Hegseth himself said in 2016.

Despite all the talking points to the media — and by Cabinet members directly to senators last month — this was never about stopping the drug cartels. If it were, President Trump wouldn’t have pardoned drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández.

President Trump's decision to bomb targets in Venezuela, depose Nicolas Maduro, and "run" Venezuela continues the signature trend of his presidency: relentless focus on foreign entanglements and looking tough abroad, to distract from what’s happening to Americans' pocketbooks.
