“Ontario” is one of the enduring Indigenous names woven into the geography and rich history of the Great Lakes. Michiganders know that our shared bond with Canada runs deeper than any one presidency, and that we are stronger as allies than as adversaries.

Restaurants are getting hammered by high costs, and on that list of growing costs is all the streaming services they need to watch our sports teams. Great to be in Eau Claire to talk about my bill to cut streaming costs so we can all watch the Pack, Brewers, and Bucks – for free.

When Trump blocks clean energy, he raises your costs. Period. Worse, he’s doing it on purpose, to steer your money to his cronies’ expensive fossil fuel plants — a payback to his big donors, at your expense. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

This weekend, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be launched into space, where it will help us see more of our universe than ever before. This wouldn't be possible without the incredible NASA Goddard team, who spent the past 15 years designing, building, & testing Roman.

Remember when President Trump said that his war with Iran would be a “short-term excursion?” That was six months ago. Six months of troops in danger. Six months of higher gas prices. Six months of spending billions of taxpayer dollars.

We told him his golden pet projects would be a flight risk. He didn't listen.

Happy National Park Week from the Trump administration. Nothing says corruption quite like giving away public land for private gain.

We’re 6 months into Trump’s war of choice with Iran, and the president has nothing to show for it. Rather than focusing on ending this war and bringing down costs for Americans, Trump is busy renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.

One of my favorite parts of the Fair is how it brings people together from all across our state — and the country! Ben and I got to spend the day talking to Minnesotans about what's on their minds – and got to see this year’s Princess Kay of the Milky Way and her butter sculpture!

Community colleges are one of the best tools we have to connect education with opportunity. Great discussion today with community college leaders from Southern Illinois about investing in workforce development, job training, apprenticeships, and adult education.

Donald Trump gutted the team that held student loan servicers accountable. Now, one of the biggest loan servicers, MOHELA, has reportedly sent false notices to borrowers that they’re overdue on payments. If Trump won't do anything, I will. I'm pressing for accountability.

I’ll keep working to bring more resources and support for this critical sector so visitors can enjoy all kinds of outdoor adventures!

Last week, I had a great discussion about tourism with outdoor recreation and tourism industry leaders in Ely. From mountain biking to fishing and caving, Ely’s economy is fueled by our outdoor tourism industry.

Medicaid cuts are putting even more pressure on our rural hospitals—jeopardizing care for families who already have too few options. @durbin.senate.gov and I will never stop fighting back.

It was great to join seniors in Garrett County. Marylanders deserve affordable housing, groceries, health care, and the security they’ve worked a lifetime to earn. I’ll keep fighting in the Senate to protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and our civil liberties.

Liam Tadeo is 5 years old. He was on his way to a soccer game with his dad when ICE arrested them. This week, he was deported. Liam should be on a playground with friends at school. ICE’s cruelty needs to end NOW.

President Trump said this war would end soon after it started. Six months later, American servicemembers have paid with their lives, and families are also paying a price through higher costs and billions in taxpayer dollars spent — with no clear end in sight. apnews.com/article/trum...

A year after Trump's $1 trillion cut to Medicaid, hospitals like Deaconess Illinois Medical Center are feeling the impact & cutting back on services. Our hospitals deserve more support, not less. I'm dedicated to reversing these shameful cuts & strengthening Medicaid & the ACA.

When the Province of Ontario was created in 1867, it was named after the lake—not the other way around.
- ES
The name "Ontario" is centuries older than either Canada or the United States. It comes from an Iroquoian word. As many have noted, it is often translated as "beautiful lake," "great lake," "sparkling water," or "lake of shining waters."

The manhood issue the president has with Canada continues — and Michiganders continue to lose because of it.

Six months into Donald Trump's war of choice with Iran, and it has been a total disaster. Fuel costs are crushing families, servicemembers are still in harm's way, and we have gained nothing. For six months, I have been sounding the alarm and fighting to end this war.

Following last week's senseless SCOTUS ruling, this is an important step to curb Trump's fraudulent scheme to rig the midterm elections. Trump has made it clear he wants to create chaos & suppress turnout in the hopes of clinging to power — we must keep fighting back.

I stopped by CHAS Health's new learning institute in Spokane to hear about how they stepped up during the recent fires. Proud to have secured funding to help launch this space, and I’ll keep working to invest in Spokane’s health infrastructure and emergency responders.

Great to be at the Union Pavilion at the State Fair! Coming from a union family, I’m proud to have the AFL-CIO and Building Trades endorsement and wore the LiUNA orange on Day 1. Labor built our state — and as Governor, I will do all I can to keep our unions strong.

We’re 6 months into a war that’s achieved nothing. 18 of our men and women in uniform have been killed, and the cost-of-living is crushing American families. It's time to end this stupid war and bring our service members home.

Thank you Humane Society of West Michigan for your caring work and partnership over the years to support survivors of domestic violence and their pets. I am proud to stand by them through my work in Congress, and I will always fight to protect our four-legged friends.

63 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington. That message continues to inspire us. As the Trump-Vance Administration seeks to roll back the progress made on civil rights, we must work together to uphold and advance Dr. King's vision for our nation.

63 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have A Dream speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. In this dark and heavy moment, as we work to make sure his dream lives on, may we be fueled by his vision and determination to build a better world.

Today marks 6 months since Trump & Netanyahu launched their illegal war of choice in Iran. We've lost 18 US service members, hundreds have been injured, and thousands of civilians have been killed. Meanwhile, prices here at home have skyrocketed. This war needs to end, NOW.

Dragging out permits in direct violation of a federal court order is not only illegal, it's standing in the way of the reliable, affordable energy Western states need to keep our grid secure and our economies competitive.

Mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE. Republicans' studies and reviews are not based on science. They are political tactics to help reach their end goal: to ban abortion nationwide, including medication abortion. We all need to speak out to PROTECT access to mifepristone.
