Michiganders! America only has one 250th birthday. Make it count! bridgemi.com/quality-life...

I'm glad law enforcement moved fast here. But as we've seen repeatedly in Michigan, these events keep happening, and everyone must call them out when they see it. We cannot let this kind of hate become normalized. 2/2

Everyone deserves the right to worship in peace. These threats against the American Islamic Community Center in Madison Heights are acts of anti-Muslim hate, and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 1/2

ICE has announced that they are selling the warehouse in Romulus that was intended for use as a detention center. This facility was built for auto parts, not to house human beings, and the people of Michigan pushed back. Your voice matters.

In January of last year, Senators @bluntrochester.senate.gov, @alsobrooks.senate.gov and I were all sworn in as new Senators. And now, ahead of America 250, we sat down for a conversation about what it means for all of us to serve our states in the Senate in this moment in our history.

We cannot allow this type of corruption to become normalized. It should be condemned by everyone -- Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. And I look forward to Congress doing its Constitutional duty to investigate and provide the American taxpayers the accountability they deserve.
- ES
President Trump and his sons are using our taxpayer money to line their own pockets. The President continues to show the American people he is focused exclusively on his vanity projects and enriching himself at the expense of lowering their costs.

We want the military to be the best fighting force it can be, and it can't do that when its morale is being tested and people are being fired or passed up for promotions – especially women and people of color. I break down the impacts and what I'm hearing from service members.

We cannot let this become normalized. This kind of toxicity in our politics is way over the line, especially when children are involved and this should be condemned. My heart goes out to Pete, Chasten, and their whole family. substack.com/home/post/p-...

We cannot let the U.S. Postal Service and mail-in voting come under attack because of one man's obsession. Watch @deadlinewh.bsky.social break it down.

In this week's Intel Briefing, we dig into 4 topics: 1️⃣ A bipartisan housing bill 2️⃣ Hegseth's military purge, especially of women and officers of color 3️⃣ Romulus’s successful fight to stop an ICE detention center 4️⃣ Trump’s plan to use the postal service to target mail voting youtu.be/hUdukpw7iOI

My remarks on the floor of the Senate marking four years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. We have fought back, but we have a long way to go.

The Dobbs decision was a cautionary tale. Even though the Supreme Court allowed abortion over 50 years ago, we never legislated a woman's right to choose. If our grandparents had taken action, we would have reproductive freedom across the country. On the 4th anniversary of Dobbs the fight continues.

The leader of the U.S. Postal Service and his recent attempts to curb voting by mail are part of a much bigger story. President Trump does not believe that elections he loses are valid. It’s all part of his authoritarian playbook. youtu.be/R8V7gRKg_wU?...

This is long overdue, and we must keep working to lower prescription drug costs for every American. Let's get it signed into law. www.slotkin.senate.gov/2026/06/23/s...

No one should have to go without the medicine they need to live just because of how much it costs. I voted to cap insulin prices at $35 for those on Medicare, and now, this bipartisan bill extends that cap to everyone on private insurance.

Millions of Americans and thousands of Michiganders are getting kicked off their insurance or going without it. All because President Trump chose to cut healthcare so he could pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

We are in big trouble if people work hard and play by the rules – and they still can't get ahead. That is literally a betrayal of what we all expect as the American Dream.

I look forward to this bill becoming law and working with communities across our state to take advantage of it.

Michiganders are demanding action to lower the cost of housing, and this bipartisan bill helps. It rewards communities that add new housing, cuts red tape and improves federal housing programs to help both rural and urban communities

This facility should never have been proposed in the first place and ICE scrapping the deal is a win for Romulus and for Michigan. It is what can happen when local citizens, local leadership, and state leaders all work together to protect our communities. www.wxyz.com/news/region/...

Our uniformed military do not want to be sent into their own states or communities to do something illegal. That includes being sent to interfere in an election. And if our service members are asked to do something illegal, they have a responsibility to push back.

In the last six months alone, the President has said that the 2020 elections were rigged over 100 times. He continues to tell us exactly what he thinks and what he is going to do around our elections.

Yesterday, I kept my Juneteenth celebration going with a stop at the Detroit People’s Food Co-Op. They were having a fair to support local vendors, enjoy great food, and connect with neighbors in a space built by the community, for the community.

No better way to spend Juneteenth than at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. The exhibits tell the story of African-American history through time and the very specific role Detroit plays in that history. If you haven’t been in a while, schedule a visit. It was hopping!

These threats from the Israeli national security minister against millions of Lebanese civilians are completely unacceptable. He is talking about millions of innocent people, and the families and friends of thousands of Michiganders. Shameful.

It only recently became a federal holiday after a decades-long effort. I proudly voted to enshrine Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021 and I look forward to joining Michiganders at a few events today!

It is an important milestone, and a reminder that the fight for justice and equality is never over.

Today is Juneteenth, when we recognize the day Union soldiers entered Galveston, Texas, to notify slaves of their freedom, two whole years after the Emancipation Proclamation, on June 19, 1865. On Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor the day that turned the page on the horrible chapter of slavery.

Thank you to @baldwin.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov for joining me in announcing this important legislation.

Instead of waiting to see what happens in 2026, we are taking action with our Protect Our Polls Act to make it impossible for the President to use the military to steal an election. Our bill stops that in three ways.

Why am I introducing the Protect Our Polls Act? Because the President is saying the quiet part out loud. And after January 6, 2021, we cannot afford more strongly worded letters or failures of imagination.

I am glad to be joined by Senators from across the country, especially states like Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota and Wisconsin which, along with Michigan, the president has targeted. All states that may very well decide who controls the House and Senate.

That's why today I am introducing the Protect our Polls Act. Our legislation prevents President Trump from weaponizing our military and armed federal officers to interfere in our elections.

President Trump has been saying the quiet part out loud: he wants to undermine our elections any way he can, and he refuses to rule out sending uniformed military to the polls or to collect ballots and voting machines. youtu.be/vdTAlcArXiQ

When it comes to President Trump's war in Iran, we need to be clear about what we put into it and what we get out of it. The deal on the table is not even comparable to the Obama deal. It's worse by a lot. By about $300 billion and a bunch of vague language.

The total damage from the ice storm Michigan had a year and a half ago was $440 million. We can’t have a system where you get a bigger or faster payout if you’re in a Republican state. Let’s keep disasters apolitical. youtube.com/shorts/DSK9o...

How much does President Trump’s war in Iran cost? We owe it to the American people to be honest about what the actual cost of this war will be, and what we will have to sacrifice.

We all know Mackinac Island as one of our top vacation spots. But I got the behind-the-scenes tour of the public servants, police and fire departments that keep an island with no cars safe.
