I don’t want to just fiddle around the margins. We need a national emergency on housing, and my bill does just that.

Just like the water cycle we all learned about in grade school, when politicians receive money from special interests, they then make it rain on these special interests with favors, pardons, favorable legislation, and government contracts. I break it down.

The American people need answers and accountability. Secretary Noem and Tom Homan need to come before Congress and the American people. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

In the spirit of Dr. King, these faith leaders are helping their communities navigate — and it felt good to be in fellowship together.
- ES
These faith leaders shared what keeps their communities up at night: families afraid to go to work or worship, communities anxious about health care and retirement, and real fear that people will be stopped simply because of how they look.

This morning, I sat down with Michigan faith leaders for our annual Samantha Woll Interfaith Roundtable, held the morning of MLK day. Named after a former staffer of mine who was passionate about building bridges across faiths, and who was taken from us too soon.

It felt so good to join over 1,000 Michiganders in Lansing for the annual MLK Luncheon — the largest in the country — put on by the MLK Commission of Mid-Michigan. For many of us, this year's celebration felt different. Watch my full remarks: www.youtube.com/live/Z5r6Fpq...

As someone who worked alongside our NATO partners my entire career, I’m embarrassed to take people’s phone calls. It is beyond the pale that we have the United States of America talking about using military action in a fellow NATO country.

Flint: No matter what is coming, I have your back. It is my responsibility to continue fighting for you.

Their city was poisoned. People died. After all they’ve endured over the past decade, the Flint community is being denied what little they were promised. That should make every American furious.

Earlier today, I spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate on behalf of the people of Flint who endured an apocalyptic poisoning of their city. After all the people of Flint have endured over the past decade, my responsibility now as their U.S. Senator is to pick up the torch and continue the fight.

WATCH: 10 years ago, President Obama declared a federal emergency for the Flint Water Crisis. But for Flint, the crisis never ended. Today, at 1 PM, I'm taking Flint's story to the floor of the U.S. Senate, because I'll never stop fighting for them. youtube.com/live/BipL9xg...

I’m grateful for the workers who will spend the coming months maintaining this critical infrastructure to keep commerce flowing on the Great Lakes. See you in March! ⚓

Today marks the seasonal closing of the Soo Locks for winter maintenance. These locks are important to our economy, moving iron ore and other cargo that support thousands of Michigan jobs and power the U.S. economy.

Right now, speaking out against the abuse of power is the most patriotic thing we can do.

Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like. The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work. Watch my full response. youtube.com/shorts/rM4PY...

Politicians in both parties have told Michigan workers for 30 years that cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party will mean more jobs and higher paychecks. But we know what happens in reality because we've lived it: millions of our manufacturing jobs shipped overseas. Ban Chinese cars.

You’ve got to be kidding me. No. This is bad for Michigan's auto workers and bad for America.

Health care is a fundamentally broken system. It’s about time we do something about it. We need a public insurance option.

I asked Michigan law enforcement leaders what should happen in Minnesota. The response is clear: the officer in question should be put on administrative leave, and there should be an independent investigation. That hasn't happened yet, and the American people need to know why not.

We've all seen the video with our own eyes, and the American people need answers about what is going on in our streets. Secretary Noem needs to come before Congress and have that conversation with the American people.

What is going on with the President and Venezuela? Well, it’s a lot harder to end a war than to start a war. The American people are tired of endless wars. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPGV...

Americans don’t want the uniform military policing our streets. Over Christmas, the Supreme Court agreed. And, as we are seeing in Minnesota right now, having unnecessary federal forces in our streets can cause things to spin out of control. youtube.com/shorts/DCbq-...

I stand in solidarity with the community of Jackson in asking for a swift and thorough investigation. Jewish communities in Mississippi, and across the world, deserve the right to worship safely. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

Unfortunately, it is also no stranger to terror, having been bombed by the KKK in 1967. The symbolism in yet another attack on this building in 2026 is a painful reminder that antisemitism is not a relic of the past, but a clear and present danger.

This weekend there was a brazen act of hatred and antisemitism against Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi. This historic synagogue, the largest and only Jewish house of worship in Jackson, is not merely a building. It is the heart of a community.

While DC is roiling, Detroit's future is bright —and the event today — which included the Detroit Children's Choir and Detroit Poet Laureate, Jessica Care Moore — was the ray of positivity we all need. Congratulations, Madam Mayor, and onward and upward! 📸: Kimberly P. Mitchell, Detroit Free Press

For the first time in 324 years, the Motor City will be led by a black woman, alongside the newly sworn-in City Council Members, Police Commissioners, and City Clerk.

What a day! Detroit’s future will be shaped by strong local leadership, and today that leadership was on full display at the historic swearing-in of Mayor Sheffield.

President Trump’s foreign entanglements are a distraction. He doesn’t want to talk about things like health care, housing and child care. He is distracting us because he doesn’t want to talk about any of that.

Today I met with leadership at @NASCAR. We discussed the @MIspeedway, a Michigan treasure that generates over $400 million for our economy; NASCAR's youth racing program, and more. We have 51 NASCAR-affiliated speedways across our state, and I'm looking forward to attending a race this summer! 🏎️

Whether you go in trying to do a limited military operation or not, at the end of the day, it’s American sons and daughters from places like Michigan that are called up. Watch my speech on Venezuela, War Powers and what President Trump is doing to distract you.
