From our truckers and tourists to cars and motorcycles -- after many ups and downs, the Gordie Howe Bridge is open for business. This bridge will further connect us economically and culturally to our neighbors in Canada, and I can't wait to drive across it myself soon.

President Trump’s authoritarian playbook is built on sowing doubt in our elections before votes are even cast. I’m working to prepare for scenarios to protect free and fair elections.

I pressed a Trump nominee: If a domestic violence shelter receives a federal grant, but also post complaints about the cutting of domestic violence funding, will that put them at risk of being labeled anti-American? They would not answer directly.
- ES
This Administration is weaponizing federal grants against individuals and organizations who may disagree with them.

President Trump's tariffs on generic drugs risk making prescriptions more expensive. If President Trump wanted to lower drug costs, we could do it tomorrow: let Medicare negotiate every drug price.

We also discussed the trilateral talks, the importance of implementation of the planned pilot zones, and the need for U.S. assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces to enable Hezbollah's disarmament.

Last week, I met with President Aoun again after our meeting in Beirut in February. We discussed concerns of Michiganders who had family members killed and homes destroyed by Israeli strikes -- and the need for documentation and accountability for this destruction, particularly in southern Lebanon.

We must listen to what President Trump is saying about elections. It’s right out of an authoritarian playbook.

What can the bipartisan housing bill do for our veterans? I break it down.

Creating jobs. Investing in growth and infrastructure. And supporting small businesses. Michiganders across our state are rolling up their sleeves to move us forward on all those fronts -- and I saw it in action this month from Mount Clemens to Auburn Hills to Warren.

Thankfully, members of law enforcement who investigate these incidents take it seriously, because violence and threats of violence have no place in our politics.
- ES
Democrat, Independent or Republican, the men and women who go into public service choose to do the hard, unglamorous job of making government work for people. They deserve respect and safety.

No matter our differences, threats of violence against local leaders are never acceptable. This time it was in Holly, but I’ve seen it happen across the state. This is part of a troubling trend of violent threats targeting local officials across the country. www.fox2detroit.com/news/holly-v...

Chinese cars are driving surveillance collectors for the Chinese Communist Party—full-motion video, 3D mapping and geolocation. As a former CIA officer, I can't in good faith say they should be sold in the United States.
- ES
Democrats and Republicans disagree on a lot of serious things. But on banning Chinese cars, we're aligned. The Connected Vehicle Security Act is about protecting our national security and our economic security.

President Trump asked Americans to accept another war. Now he owes them the truth about what it costs. The bill isn’t just $37.5 billion—it could be closer to $200 billion. Show your math. You got us into this war. Explain to the American people what the cost is and don't fudge the figures.

I’ve asked my Republican colleagues to support my bill, the Protect Our Polls Act, because “None of us want our military at our polls, right?" Their response was, “I don’t want to insult the President.” Don't worry about the President. Worry about your democracy and protecting the country.

And it’s particularly petty for the President to keep punishing our Canadian neighbors the week we should be finally celebrating the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge — something Democrats and Republicans have roundly supported for decades.
- ES
The President’s 50% tariff on 500 Canadian goods, including hockey sticks and milk, does nothing to help American families. It just substitutes serious trade policy for pettiness.
- ES
Canada is one of America’s most critical allies. Michiganders know that better than anyone — we share bonds of family, culture, commerce and closely intertwined supply chains.

The President has been doing everything in his power to convince Americans that our elections aren’t valid. It’s not going to work, but we need to be clear-eyed about what he is doing.

My bipartisan bill with Senator Bernie Moreno to ban Chinese cars, the Connected Vehicle Security Act, just advanced out of a key committee with unanimous bipartisan support. Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels and I'm looking forward to getting this bill over the finish line.

Attending the Senate Commerce Committee today as they mark up and vote on my bill with Senator Bernie Moreno to ban Chinese vehicles in the United States. It has support from both parties, business and labor. This is an important first step; let's get it across the finish line.

Right now, I’m headed to the Senate Commerce Committee, which is taking up our bill to ban Chinese cars. These vehicles are a threat to our national security and economy, and today is an important step in getting my bipartisan bill with Senator Bernie Moreno passed into law. Let's get it done.

Festivals are meant to bring people together. As festival season continues, I want to remind everyone to stay alert, look out for one another & trust your instincts. If you notice something that doesn’t seem right or see someone who may need help, speak up and alert event staff or law enforcement.

It’s heartbreaking that, in such a short period of time, one young man has lost his life and another has sustained severe injuries in separate incidents at music festivals in our state. My heart goes out to their families, friends, and loved ones as they navigate the days ahead.

President Trump is weaponizing the government against his perceived enemies. That includes when he tried to jail and indict my colleagues and me over a 90-second video. And now it includes going after journalists and their families.

The Department of Defense should release its findings on the deadly bombing of an elementary school in Iran. The deadliest civilian casualty event tied to the U.S. military in decades.

In Michigan, voters on both the left and the right are focused on kitchen-table issues, not getting into more wars and spending more money abroad.

President Trump tweeted about me last night and my concerns that the Postal Service was going to curb mail-in voting. But it's part of a much bigger playbook from this President. The man has basically said, "If my team loses, the system is rigged."

But in our 250th year, I can't think of anything more important than standing up for our democracy and our right to vote.

He is obsessed with pushing misinformation about America's elections because he fears he's going to lose in Nov. It's all part of a well-worn authoritarian playbook and the intimidation is the point.
- ES
Last night, President Trump was back to tweeting about me. This time it wasn't about his efforts to criminally indict me, but my work to stop his Administration from curbing our right to vote by mail.

We are back in a full scale war, and it’s important we understand its consequences.

The estimated $200 billion we’ve spent on the war in Iran could have paid for everyone on Medicare to get free dental, vision, and hearing care for six years. It could have paid for a check to every American household for $1,500. It could do school lunches for all kids for 18 years.

Michigan has free and fair elections. We are a swing state. We know how to do this. It's very important that we understand what the President is trying to do in writing this narrative ahead of the November elections.

The President is clearly focused on a handful of states that he says have problems in our elections, including Michigan.

The president thinks he can tell the American people that we're winning the war with Iran when they still know the price of gas. People aren't stupid.

Since then, he has attempted to seize ballots, sued 30 states for their voter rolls, dismantled the Election Assistance Commission, and pushed to pass the SAVE Act which would disenfranchise millions of voters across the country. We cannot allow this type of corruption to become normalized.

At the State of the Union, President Trump declared that the only way Democrats could win in the midterms is if they cheat.

The president refuses to rule out, as does his cabinet, sending in uniform military. He's obsessed with it. That's why I introduced the Protect Our Polls Act.

Power in the wrong hands can be used against the American People. That’s why I introduced the MERIT Act, a bill requiring anyone serving as the director of national intelligence to have extensive national security experience. It’s common sense.
