This President is marching us through unprecedented corruption. Senator Adam Schiff, Senator Mark Kelly and I are fighting to stop it, and our Republican colleagues should join us.

To my Republican colleagues: Protecting Donald Trump is not a recipe for your own success.

The President's nominee for the Director of National Intelligence has never handled classified information, never been in a national security role, and we're not even sure if he's had a security clearance. He is not qualified for this job, and shouldn't even be there in an acting position.

As someone who has been the target of the President’s attacks, it’s important to recognize who he intends to help with this $1.8 billion slush fund of taxpayer dollars.

For us Michiganders, Canada isn’t just an ally — they’re our cousins. It’s in our economic and national security interest to treat our neighbors — with whom we share bonds, family, experiences and especially... hockey — with respect. Not this.

I sat down with leaders in Petoskey to discuss some of the main barriers they’re seeing to building housing quickly and affordably, and why we need bold action now.

Northern Michigan is growing fast, and the housing issues we’re seeing across the country are exacerbated. We can’t attract young talent and families to Michigan if they have hour-long commutes due to lack of housing.

This all makes him an incredibly dangerous choice to be in charge of ODNI. As someone who has had the government weaponized against me, I cannot in good conscience support his elevation to such a sensitive post. The President should choose a serious nominee.

Mr. Pulte has weaponized his current agency against the President's critics, he's fired federal watchdogs looking into his allies and he is under active investigation by the Government Accountability Office.
- ES
As someone who helped set up the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, I oppose elevating Bill Pulte to Acting Director. He has no experience. Zero. And he is the wrong choice to help keep us safe.

If you believe President Trump is backing down from his $1.8 billion slush fund, I have a bridge I want to sell you.

The President wants to set up a $1.8 billion slush fund with taxpayer money for people he thinks have been wronged. Today, we introduced a bill to stop it. youtu.be/3v9ScR-L8FQ

Today, I’m joining Senator Adam Schiff and Senator Mark Kelly to introduce the Drain the Slush Fund Act, new legislation that would effectively shutter President Trump’s so-called Anti-Weaponization Fund and prevent taxpayer dollars from being paid to the President or his allies

Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are crying out for the President to focus on the economy and lowering their costs. My colleagues should join us on this bill to prevent even more corruption, and re-assert themselves as a co-equal branch of government. www.cbsnews.com/news/anti-we...

From his ballroom to his son's cryptocurrency, to insider trading and selling pardons to the highest bidder -- Trump has used the govt as a piggybank. This so-called $1.7 billion anti-weaponization fund is an unprecedented misuse of taxpayer money, and it must be stopped. Our bill does just that.

Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare or paying more for their healthcare. All because President Trump needed to pay for a tax bill that overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy.

There should be a federal investigation into the hundreds of millions of dollars in well-timed bets in the oil futures market. We need transparency and accountability.

There’s nothing like going to a baseball game on a nice, spring night in Michigan, cheering on the Traverse City Pit Spitters. Also got to present a challenge coin to Spitters General Manager Jacqueline Holms and the Traverse City Coast Guard Commander Ryan Hawn. Let’s go, Spitters!

With new threats on the rise, the fighter mission at Selfridge plays a vital role in defending the entire country. A lot of good bipartisan work got us here, and this will have a generational impact for Michigan, our national defense and Macomb County’s economy.

People need someone to fight on behalf of their pocketbooks. Was glad to join Roop Raj from FOX 2 Detroit to talk about the war in Iran, gas prices and working together to lower costs.

There are lots of good ideas out there on housing, but the reality is, we need to build more housing to lower people's costs. Let's declare a National Housing Emergency and build 4 million homes.

The Trump Administration is rolling back standards to allow more PFAS particles in our drinking water. This is a setback, but we can’t stop fighting for the federal government to restore a scientific standard for drinking water.

We need to build 4 million homes nationally and surge supply to address the housing crisis in Michigan and across the country. Watch our panel at the Mackinac Policy Conference.

Last year, I met the head of Fort Mackinac at the Pink Pony, and he insisted that at some point, I must shoot the cannon at the top of the park. Well, this year, as part of America’s 250th, I got to check this off my bucket list!

It’s clear that both the policy decisions like sending troops to our cities and Secretary Hegseth's purge of generals have been demoralizing to our service members.

Memorial Day reminds us that democracy and security aren’t guaranteed, but made possible by ordinary Americans who answered the call to serve and defend.

There’s many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who still care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. We are in a tough moment right now, but there is a future after President Trump.

In each, we discussed the deep bonds between the American people and the Canadian people, the Gordie Howe Bridge, and the threat of Chinese Communist Party vehicles.

I was in Toronto to reaffirm that point. And I appreciated the dialogue with the Foreign Minister Anita Anand, Minister of Industry Melanie Joy, and Minister of Infrastructure Grego Rrobertson.

The U.S.-Canada relationship is still critically important, especially to Michigan. Despite the recent tension in that relationship, I strongly believe our two nations must work together to address the big problems we face.

The United States and Canada are in a tough moment right now. But our overlapping interests are bigger than any one president. As Michigan's Senator, I know that the bond between the American people and Canadian people is deep, and it will endure. Because we are stronger when we work together.
- ES
In addition to reaffirming my commitment to that relationship, we discussed the importance of the Gordie Howe Bridge to both nations, and I raised my concerns about the threat of Chinese cars coming into North America.

There are many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. Our lives, economies, and security are intertwined. That's why I thought it was so important to travel to Toronto to meet with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney.

Some of the residents in Oscoda, MI, can't drink their water or swim in their lake due to PFAS. And they've been told to wait another five-years, after twenty years of waiting on the Air Force for proper cleanup. We owe it to them to step up. youtube.com/shorts/phCRC...

Despite this setback in the fight against forever chemicals like PFAS, this isn’t over. Michigan will keep fighting for safe, clean water.

President Trump's apparent capitulation to the Chinese government on this issue makes it even more urgent that the Senate passes our bill immediately. We need to protect America's land and our national security.

Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet and I have a bipartisan bill to prevent CCP purchases of Michigan's farmland, which has passed the House in the Farm Bill.
