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.

You’ve got to call out hate when we see it. We cannot normalize it. Thanks, Josh Landon from Fox 2 Detroit, for the important conversation.

Our first responders, law enforcement, and the private security on the ground all put themselves at risk to save lives at Temple Israel. If not for them, it would have been so much worse and we thank them for that. youtube.com/shorts/FCizq...

The greater Jewish community is still reeling from the attack on Temple Israel yesterday. Were it not for their private security and local law enforcement, this would have been an even greater tragedy. Watch my remarks here: youtu.be/1vTVtE2yeZM

If I'm going to consider additional funding, they’re going to need to open up the hood and tell me why the ample amount of money the Pentagon has isn’t enough. youtube.com/shorts/aOCeX...

Congress gave the Pentagon over a trillion dollars in the last budget and a 150 billion topper from the Big Beautiful Bill.

We have genuine problems in this country with ICE. We've all seen the videos with our own eyes. And Republicans should stop holding funding for FEMA, Coast Guard, and TSA hostage while we debate those ICE reforms. youtube.com/shorts/wYZXE...

President Trump is right on this -- the Asian Carp *is* a rather violent and destructive fish. We need to complete the Brandon Road project and protect Michigan's Great Lakes.

We also discussed ways to address the retirement health care gap for fire fighters — especially during the years after they retire but before they become eligible for Medicare.

Yesterday, I joined fire fighters with the Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union (MPFFU) at the International Association of Fire Fighters reception. They shared stats about the high rates of cancer among fire fighters and the need to get PFAS out of fire fighting foam and gear.

The war in Iran will reach Michigan's farmers. Fuel and fertilizer is getting more expensive, just as planting season begins.

Michigan is home to the most specialty crops in America with regular access to water. They’re still reeling from President Trump’s tariffs, and now we need to know what these growers should expect from his farmer bailout.

We need to put left and right limits on the use of AI at the Department of Defense, and especially on issues of life and death, and mass surveillance on the American public.

We discussed how the VA workforce was preparing for this transition, how it might be experienced by veterans, and what we can do to help. We all want this transition to succeed — we all need to be clear eyed to ensure minimal disruption to veterans and VA staff.

The GI Bill has lifted millions of our veterans into the middle class. Now, it needs an update. My bipartisan bill will provide the same GI Bill benefits to a veteran choosing an apprenticeship in the skilled trades, as it does the four-year university route.

Time and time again, Secretary Noem failed the American people and her duty to the Constitution. This was particularly true in how she oversaw ICE. Her departure demonstrates that if you don’t uphold the most basic American values, the American public wants you gone.
