From 2021-2024, tornadoes cost the state of Michigan $200 million, and I am ready to help the communities impacted by the recent tornadoes. I break down the trends we’ve been seeing and the emergency actions taken by state and federal officials, and what comes next.

Another reminder of how out of touch the Trump Administration is with the needs of working Americans, who are already faced with rising energy, health care, and grocery costs as well as Trump’s tariff tax.

Nazeer fought alongside our soldiers and came to the US with the promise we'd protect him, only to be detained by ICE and dead 24 hours later. There needs to be an independent investigation into his arrest and his death and accountability for any mistreatment.

I don’t think families should have to take on a $31,000 deductible in order to find a health care plan they can afford. We can do better than this.

The BP Oil Spill was the worst environmental disaster in US history. It wreaked economic havoc and cost us billions to clean up. The Trump administration is giving BP the green light to do it again—all so Big Oil can make money off our backs and leave us to live with the mess.

The President shouldn't be a cheerleader for Big Oil companies making fatter profits while Americans pay higher gas prices. We should tax windfall oil profits from Trump's war against Iran and give relief to American families instead.

It's time to put money back in the pockets of hardworking folks, not just rich people. My new bill will lower taxes for middle-class families, and it's all paid for by having millionaires pay their fair share.

Last month another American was killed in the West Bank, the 9th in just over 4 years. Israeli settler violence is out of control but the Trump Admin, like the Biden Admin before it, hasn’t gotten justice for any of these killings. Rubio & Huckabee: DO YOUR DAMN JOBS!

Trump and Carr are threatening to revoke licenses to broadcast networks because they don’t like their coverage of Trump’s unauthorized war. This is a direct attack on the free press in the United States. It cannot be allowed to stand. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

$11 billion on Trump's illegal war in Iran. And counting. That no American wants to spend. Where are the billions for housing, hospitals, or health care that the American people actually want?

If Russia is helping to kill U.S. forces, we have crossed a Rubicon. We have to take decisive action. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil, and they’re making a ton of money.

It’s not even subtle. Carr is saying: Broadcasters, cover Trump’s illegal Iran war as he says or the Trump FCC will destroy you. This is censorship.

The American Dream should work for everyone, not just the wealthy. When CEOs make nearly 300 times what their workers earn, something is broken. I'm fighting for policies that give working families in Arizona a real chance at getting ahead.

American farmers have been hit hard by Trump’s tariffs and his illegal war in the Middle East. Family farmers don’t need another price hike.

After the health care tax credits expired, 1 in 3 Americans—about 82 million people—are skipping meals, delaying care, or borrowing money just to pay medical bills. That’s why we’ve been fighting to restore the health care tax credits, so people aren't forced to make impossible choices.

Trump promised to "Make America Healthy Again." Once he got to the Oval Office, he slashed health care, scrapped air pollution protections, and left American families in the dust. Trump is bad for our health, bad for our economy, and bad for working people.
