Wishing a happy Easter to all who observe! I hope you all have a chance to celebrate this season of renewal and hope surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones.

Giving anyone the ability to wager and make money if U.S. service members are rescued or not is sick and twisted. We need to ban these prediction market companies from hosting "markets" like this to begin with, and we need to ban any politician or government official from insider trading.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

Americans are demanding action on AI. It’s our responsibility to put left and right limits on AI, especially when it comes to issues of life and death at the Department of Defense.

Thanks Nicolle Wallace for breaking it down.

Whether you are a President, a Senator, the Secretary of Defense, or a civil servant, no one should be able to make money off insider information. Period.

The price of U.S. crude oil has risen by more than 40%, and the average price of gasoline has risen by more than a dollar per gallon as a result of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and war in Iran.

This is a tough time for Michigan's family farmers. I hear their uncertainty every day. And I know there is more to be done. I appreciate the Secretary's engagement on this issue, and encourage all eligible Michigan farmers to apply. www.fsa.usda.gov/news-events/...

Earlier this week, USDA announced that specialty crop farmers will have an extension until April 24 to submit their 2025 acreage to USDA. This is an important step to make sure our smallest and most diversified farmers can apply for this funding.
- ES
Last week, I spoke directly with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins to outline my concern that Michigan's specialty crop farmers are being unfairly treated as part of UDSA’s farmer assistance package.

Wishing a joyous Passover to everyone celebrating today, from my family to yours. Especially during a tough time, I hope that everyone remembers the bitter and rejoices in the sweet -- surrounded by the comfort of family and friends. Chag Sameach!

We cannot allow this type of corruption to become normal, no matter how much President Trump and his Administration flood the zone with new ways to personally enrich themselves and their friends. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

There are no circumstances where the Secretary of Defense's personal stockbroker should be buying or selling *any* defense-related stocks — but particularly moments before the U.S. sends its service members to fight and die in war.

In our democracy, the real protection the people have against their govt is free speech and fair elections. President Trump continues to attack both at every opportunity. And his Executive Order today is yet another anti-American effort to make it harder for U.S. citizens to make their voices heard.

Voting by mail is a safe, secure, and widely-used way to vote. In Michigan, we overwhelmingly voted to approve its expansion in 2018. And, in 2024, more than 2 million Michiganders used it to cast their ballot, where President Trump and I both won.
- ES
President Trump has already said the quiet part out loud: if his party loses the Midterms, it's because the election was rigged and Democrats cheated. And he is again attacking mail-in voting. www.cnn.com/2026/03/31/p...

Americans don’t feel great after we got bogged down for years and years and years in the Iraq war. And it’s not a lot to ask, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, for a plan after we're coming off 20 years of being bogged down in wars.

It’s that time of year again—school trip season in Washington, D.C.! Last week, students from Keys Grace Academy stopped by and asked insightful questions about what it’s like to serve as a Senator, what leadership means, and more.

Whether they choose to visit one of Michigan’s beautiful Great Lakes or hike one of the UP’s many trails, this bill expands opportunities for our nations former service members to engage in outdoor and recreational programs that strengthen both body and mind.

Last month, we hung my newest piece of sports-themed art, 'Campbell Crossing Lake MI' (a play on Washington crossing the Delaware) in one of my conference rooms. This badass painting was made by the talented, Ramon Corona and today, he and his wife came in to see it on display.

So they do it just like this: quietly, in the dark of night, through bureaucratic rule-making -- hoping we won't catch it. Our veterans deserve access to abortion care. Period. And I will not stop shining the light on this and working to overturn this new ban. www.ms.now/news/senate-...

This threat to women's healthcare continues to be real. After losing elections in the wake of Roe falling, Republicans know that it's not politically popular to be publicly for abortion bans.
- ES
Earlier this week, the Senate voted on our bill to overturn that policy. 50 Republican Senators opposed it, meaning the abortion ban remains in effect.
- ES
I want to flag something that may have flown under the radar, but shouldn't. In December 2025, President Trump and Secretary of the VA Doug Collins moved to ban access to abortion care at the VA, even in cases of rape, incest, or when the health of the mother is at risk.

Freedom of speech, freedom to peacefully protest, the right to privacy in our homes -- that's what's at stake in these negotiations. And I will work with anyone who is interested in protecting those core American values.

I look forward to its quick passage in the House so these federal workers and their families can get paid. But the passage of this bill should not end our focus on reforming ICE. The American people -- Democrats, Republicans, and Independents -- know what they saw with their own eyes in Minnesota.
- ES
For months, I have said that we should carve ICE out while we negotiate reforms and fund the rest of DHS, including TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and customs officers. At 2:30 AM this morning, after weeks of pressure, Republicans finally agreed, and that funding bill cleared the Senate unanimously.

No government official should be profiting off insider information on prediction markets. Period.

As a member of the Agriculture Committee, I was glad to talk with Secretary Brooke Rollins this week. We spoke about economic assistance for specialty crops, how the war in Iran is impacting farmers and food, and the need for a bipartisan farm bill.

Insiders make bets on military action, make a boatload of money, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and get away with it. My bill with Senator Young will stop that.

I am proud of our bipartisan coalition, and I thank Senators Young, Schiff and Curtis for working with me to move this important bill forward.
- ES
No one should be profiting off the information and knowledge gained as a public servant, period. Our bipartisan bill places common sense rules around prediction markets, and it has real teeth to ensure those who break these rules face real consequences. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/u...

To win the future, you need a plan. It's why I joined as a co-chair for the National Security Commission on Robotics for Advanced Manufacturing. With advanced manufacturing and AI rapidly evolving, we cannot fall behind adversaries like China.

Mail-in voting is safe, it's secure. It's the law in Michigan, and President Trump is trying to undo it simply to satisfy his very specific goals of making sure: “only the right people vote”. youtube.com/shorts/uG7yw...
