After serving three tours in Iraq alongside U.S. servicemembers, I know the importance of a stable and prosperous Iraq.

I appreciated meeting with Iraq’s new Prime Minister Al Zaidi earlier this month. Michigan is home to a diverse and successful Iraqi-American community -- the largest in the country -- so what happens in Iraq matters in Michigan.

Tonight, I secured a key concession from the Trump admin to close a loophole in the Russia sanctions bill that expanded Trump’s tariff power. This is a small but important victory for all Americans who have suffered under this President’s reckless tariffs.

Trump's illegal war with Iran has lasted nearly half a year. What is the status of the war now? I break down why it's lasted this long and what it has cost the American people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-6A...

The trump administration is out of excuses and out of time. I’m demanding the senate pass the Delaney Hall Closure Act—to close it within 90 days.

This president wants nearly $70 billion MORE of your taxpayer dollars for his war that's spiraling further out of control. I don’t think so.

I think you’ve raised a lot of concerns in your testimony over the last couple of days, but the idea that the administration would put that kind of language out there to intimidate and scare people out of freedom of speech is something that is the most anti-American thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Slotkin: You can’t want the big job but then not answer the big questions. I think the idea that First Amendment activities would be quote “anti-American” or threaten the reputation of this administration... you understand that you are creating a climate of fear.

Duncan: The political appointees. OMB does not issue grants. We issue guidance, uniform guidance on grants. So, I would not make decisions on a specific grant.
- ES
Hal Duncan: Senator, again you are asking hypothetical questions. The ultimate deciders of these grants will be the political employees at the agencies. I would imagine in this situation it would likely be HHS. Slotkin: The political appointees? Like yourself?
- ES
Sen. Slotkin: If a domestic violence shelter receives a federal grant, but they also post complaints about this administration’s cutting of domestic violence funding, will that put them at risk of being labeled anti-American or threatening the reputation of this administration?

The most anti-American thing I have seen in a long time... Read this exchange I had with Hal Duncan, President Trump’s nominee for Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget:

Now is the time to pass this Russia sanctions legislation to continue the momentum that Ukraine has against Russia.

The best way to honor the VRA is to stand up against this nonsense and VOTE.

The Voting Rights Act was signed into law 61 years ago today to break down barriers to the ballot box. Republicans are trying to reverse that progress. Their so-called SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote.

Todd Blanche is the guy who: - Exposed the names & photos of Epstein survivors but hid the names of abusers, - negotiated a $1.8 BILLION slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists, - & cut a deal to give Trump's family immunity from IRS investigations. I'm voting NO.

I have to pay my taxes. My constituents have to pay their taxes. It's not fair to put President Trump and his family above the law, but that is exactly what Todd Blanche has been willing to do. I urge my colleagues not to support Mr. Blanche as Attorney General.

The climate crisis is a health crisis. My GREEN Hospitals Act with @jayapal.house.gov will invest over $100 billion to modernize health facilities, cut emissions, create jobs, protect workers, and ensure patients can get care before, during, and after climate disasters.

You paid the cost of Trump's tariffs. And instead of refunding you, he gave big corporations a payday. Congress should pass my Tariff Refunds for Working Families Act and return this money back to working families — not the CEOs of wealthy companies.

The DOJ slush fund isn't dead. It's dormant. The confirmation process is the Senate's best chance to end it for good. A DOJ letter promising the slush fund won't move forward isn't law. It isn't binding. And it isn't enough.

Time and time again, President Trump, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Jeanine Pirro have weaponized the federal government against their perceived enemies. The intimidation is the point. It won’t work.

NFL football is back starting tonight with the Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game. Yes, it’s preseason, but it’s better than no football. Not to mention Larry Fitzgerald getting inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend. You can’t beat that.

The Trump Administration has admitted it cancelled energy grants in Illinois solely because our state didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2024. I led members of the Illinois Democratic Congressional delegation in sending a letter to the admin calling out this brazen attack on our state.

Betting on how destructive a wildfire will be is just plain wrong—and opens the door to insider trading and even arson. I’m fighting to rein it in.

Todd Blanche is known for one thing: his loyalty to Trump. If confirmed as AG, I’m worried he’s going to serve as Trump’s personal lawyer – not the American people’s. I’ll be voting NO on his nomination, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.

Trump is trying to gut Head Start — a vital program that provides affordable childcare to hundreds of thousands of families. Wisconsin families are having a hard enough time affording childcare; this is the last thing they need.

The right to vote belongs to every American, and I will never stop fighting to defend that right.

61 years ago, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law in a historic affirmation of every American’s right to vote. Today, voting rights are under attack by the Trump administration and its cronies who would rather pick their voters than honor the voice of voters.

As President Trump continues to push his voter suppression bill that would restrict mail-in voting and undermine the voting rights of millions of Americans, we continue our fight to defend Colorado’s gold standard election system against Trump’s baseless attacks and conspiracy theories.

Today, we celebrate the 61st Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and honor the generations who fought to secure the fundamental right to vote for every American.

Civil rights activists bled and even died to make sure the Voting Rights Act was signed into law 61 years ago today. Today, Trump is trying to suppress every American's fundamental right to vote. Stop the SAVE Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Donald Trump is selling Wall Street early access to information about our economy and national security with an ultra-fast feed of his Truth Social posts for $100,000 a month. While Republicans ignore Trump's corruption, see what bipartisan market experts think about it.

61 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, aimed at ensuring our democracy's promise for every American. Today, after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, that promise is in peril & it's on all of us, from state legislatures to the Congress, to fight back.

For 30 years, E-Rate has connected schools and libraries to the internet, including more than $1 billion in support for Massachusetts. Now, Trump’s FCC is threatening its future. We must speak up and save E-Rate—our students and communities cannot afford to lose it.

Another near miss at DCA. This time, a military aircraft carrying the president. Congress must pass the bipartisan ROTOR Act that takes necessary steps to improve air safety.

Today, on the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), we thank those who marched, organized & sacrificed to secure the right to vote. Now, with the Trump Admin threatening to disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans, I’m fighting to preserve & advance the VRA.

The Voting Rights Act happened because people marched, bled and died for it. We can honor that legacy by defending Black representation, which is being undermined more than any time in recent history. Americans deserve an equal say in government, no matter their race or zip code.

As we celebrate the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, we’re determined to protect this fundamental right for all Americans now and in the future.

I was glad to meet with SMART General President Michael Coleman and his leadership team to discuss issues impacting workers, like supporting veterans with apprenticeship opportunities and why we have to stop politicizing projects that support good-paying jobs.

Our sheet metal, HVAC and transportation workers are foundational to our economy. Without them and our other trades, we can't build things.

Let's be clear about what happened here: this administration tried to send an innocent man to prison for ten years, purely to soothe the president's ego.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act—a landmark piece of legislation that affirmed the principle our nation was founded on: all men are created equal. As its legacy is attacked today, we must continue fighting for the right to vote for every American.

While Virginians struggle to afford housing, health care, gas, and groceries – Trump is focused on profiting off being president. My NO PROFIT Act would put a stop to his latest scheme.

Enough is enough. This time an 82-year-old American man has been left bloodied & injured by the IDF. And another attempt to hide evidence. This has to end. If Ambassador Huckabee can’t protect American citizens from this kind of violence — he needs to resign.
