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.

Michigan, it’s been a wild 2025. This year, we traveled to every corner of both of our beautiful Peninsulas. It’s the honor of my life to represent you in the Senate — here’s to 2026!

President Trump wants to look tough because he doesn’t want to be talking about high prices or job losses.

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.

We are in an emergency. We need to act like it. Both parties have failed on housing, and that’s why I am introducing the National Housing Emergency Act of 2026.

In this week's Intel Brief, we go deep on three important topics: 1️⃣ Health care premiums on healthcare.gov and bipartisan support to bring them down 2️⃣ The President's military entanglement in Venezuela 3️⃣ Minneapolis and the risks of military in our streets youtu.be/OEElyvY8MG0?...

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.

We owe the Capitol Police a debt of gratitude for what they sacrificed for democracy back in January 6, 2021, and for their loss of life. And we certainly owe it to them, on this anniversary, to tell the true story of what happened for the history books.

Despite everything they face, the Capitol Police continue to protect lawmakers and our Capitol, including providing me with 24/7 security for the past month after a raft of new threats over the past few weeks.

As I stood in their operations center, it was surreal and sobering: on the big screens behind them were TV stations replaying footage of the attack five years ago, side by side with a live coverage of a protest today on the National Mall, led by Proud Boys who had been found guilty of...

... preventing the certification of the 2020 election. Five U.S. Capitol and DC Metropolitan police officers lost their lives as a result of January 6, by heart attack and by suicide. Today, I stopped by U.S. Capitol Police headquarters to thank them for their service five years ago.

Every dollar of taxpayer money President Trump gives to the largest oil corporations in the world to "rebuild" Venezuela is a dollar robbed from rebuilding America.

This is quite literally the opposite of what is taught to our most junior folks in uniform. And it's most definitely why the six of us made our video in the first place.

Secretary Hegseth continues to show us who he is: a man who doesn’t understand the values of the institution he now leads. Holier-than-thou, attacking free speech, loathsome of the very values enshrined in our Constitution, and refusing of any accountability as a leader.
- ES
Same words, same concepts, same reference to our constitution — and, ironically, same concerns about President Trump. Watch for yourself.
- ES
Take a step back and think about Hegseth’s decision to censure Mark Kelly: Former Major Hegseth is trying to demote and cut the pension of a 25-year military pilot for saying the *very same things* Hegseth himself said in 2016.

Despite all the talking points to the media — and by Cabinet members directly to senators last month — this was never about stopping the drug cartels. If it were, President Trump wouldn’t have pardoned drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández.

Maduro is a bad man, and the people of Venezuela deserve better. But we know that regime change isn’t as simple as removing one leader. While there are comparisons to the arrest of Manuel Noriega in Panama in 1989, let’s not forget that the U.S. sent in over 27,000 troops and lost 23 servicemembers.

The President laid out his plan of regime change. He says he now wants to “run” Venezuela and, particularly, Venezuela's vast oil reserves.

Despite all the talking points to the media — and by Cabinet members directly to senators — this was never about stopping the drug cartels. If it were, President Trump wouldn’t have pardoned drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández, and he’d be going after Mexican cartels that move the fentanyl.

So instead of action on health care costs or housing or energy bills, Americans get military action in Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, the Caribbean, the Pacific, and now a long-term engagement in Venezuela.

President Trump's decision to bomb targets in Venezuela, depose Nicolas Maduro, and "run" Venezuela continues the signature trend of his presidency: relentless focus on foreign entanglements and looking tough abroad, to distract from what’s happening to Americans' pocketbooks.
