President Trump has taken the presidential pardon to a completely new place. He has developed a bit of a marketplace for convicted felons to get a presidential pardon. We should ban the presidential pardon. It should not be available to any president under any circumstances.

It’s the kind of investment that helps Michigan compete, strengthens American innovation, and trains the next generation of scientists and engineers right here at home. I’m glad to see Michigan continuing to lead the way.

This investment will give students and researchers at Michigan State University the tools they need to turn cutting-edge research into real-world applications.

Our bill tackles this issue from every angle -- awareness, outreach, access to care, and access to testing.

No family should have to fight both a cancer diagnosis and their insurance company at the same time. Women—especially in rural communities like Michigan—should be able to get the genetic testing and specialty care they need to catch this disease early or prevent it altogether.

President Trump’s sloppy tariffs have cost us not once, but twice. And while some big companies got refunds, you still had to pay more. Let’s take a look at how these sloppy tariffs made you pay.

The Postmaster General is being used as part of a much bigger story by President Trump, where the President does not believe the elections he loses are valid. The Postmaster General should not be a pawn in President Trump's authoritarian playbook. Read more: apnews.com/article/trum...

Michiganders are paying some of the highest gas rates in the country because of the war in Iran. I break down why it keeps getting worse.

One of the biggest winners from President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" were the largest tech and AI corporations, who are already worth billions of dollars. It's why I joined @warren.senate.gov to demand a full accounting of how they've taken advantage of those tax loopholes and deductions.

We have an epidemic in this country as there continue to be threats and deadly attacks targeting churches and other houses of worship across America. People should be able to worship without fear of being attacked.

Today, we remember the lives lost and all the first responders and volunteers who responded immediately to help those in need.

This is never easy for any community, and I remember the feeling on the ground, and how raw Michiganders felt. But I'm glad the community is working to turn the page and the church is now rebuilding its space.

One year ago, a man drove his car into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, set fire to it, and started shooting. People were shielding children. Four people were killed and several were injured.

Right now, we have what we call elevator courage. My Republican colleagues will tell us privately in the elevator from the basement to the second floor what they really believe, and then come out on the floor and support the President and vote the right way.

We in Michigan understand that there is no way forward without diverse leadership representing our state in every field. Especially now. I’m thrilled that the @cbc.house.gov is here in these halls, making sure their voices cannot be ignored.

In just a few short years, Michigan has gone from farmers dumping milk because we didn’t have enough processing facilities, to having one of the biggest facilities in the country. And our cows produce more milk per cow than anywhere in the country! That’s huge!

There is a growing body of evidence that Chinese companies are helping Iran target and kill American troops, keep Iran's drone and missile programs alive and sustain Iran's economy. There needs to be accountability. Read more: www.wsj.com/politics/chi...

In our Intel Briefing this week, we dive into four big topics: 1️⃣ Trump’s tariff refunds to big corporations 2️⃣ Why the Iran War keeps raising gas prices in Michigan 3️⃣ The President’s pay-to-play pardons 4️⃣ How our elections will be safe and secure this November

Chinese cars are driving spy machines, and the video, lidar and geolocation data they collect all goes back to Beijing. Our bill stops these cars from entering the United States and protects our national security.

Taking a chainsaw instead of a scalpel to the Department of Education made no sense. Now we need to focus on a vision of rebuilding it that works for teachers and students. That includes young educators in Houghton and Ironwood.

We just don’t want the president to make any dumb deals. He’s rolling out the red carpet for Chinese companies as he punches others in the teeth.
- ES
The president himself said he’s open to Chinese companies coming in, setting up shop, making Chinese cars here. And I just wanna say, as Michigan’s senator, that is the beginning of the end of the American auto industry.

At the upcoming summit, the President could make the decision to stop providing those chips, and slow down the progress that the Chinese are able to make on dangerous AI models.

President Trump has a habit of rolling out the red carpet for our adversaries, while punching our allies in the mouth. He made the decision that it is okay to sell our most sophisticated chips to China.

If President Trump is going to talk about the rivalry with China, he can’t in the same breath hand them our most sophisticated chips.

If he doesn’t, what message does that send to U.S. forces about how much their lives are valued?

There are reports that Chinese companies are providing information to Iran to target American service members and facilities. President Trump has a responsibility, as commander-in-chief, to raise this issue with China and establish clear red lines.

Ahead of this week’s meeting with China, President Trump has said he will consider allowing Chinese automakers to set up shop and build cars in the U.S. If that happens, it is the beginning of the end for U.S. auto manufacturing. That is not going to happen on my watch as a Michigan senator.

Understanding why we have a teacher shortage isn’t rocket science. Fixing it means paying our teachers enough to live a middle-class life, no matter where you live in Michigan.

President Trump should hold a firm line and push back during his summit with the Chinese President this week.

Chinese companies are fueling Iran’s war machine by buying oil, providing targeting information, and selling weapons and components to the Iranian government. We now know that some of that targeting information may have led to the death of three U.S. soldiers.

President Trump is meeting with the Chinese President this week in Washington, and he is rolling out the red carpet. A big expected topic: Chinese vehicles. I break down why that matters and why we cannot allow Chinese vehicles in the United States.

I have asked him the same thing, and I think given his record, we need this in writing. Especially because of what this President says day after day about his intent to interfere in elections.

Chairman Caine made it clear that he would not deploy uniformed military to seize ballots or other election material. Now, FBI Director Patel has said to @padilla.senate.gov that the FBI will not take such actions either.

Chinese entities aided Iran in attacks on U.S. servicemembers resulting in three deaths and wounding four others. This cannot be tolerated.

The President should not invite Chinese automakers to set up shop in the United States. This is quite literally an attempt by Chinese companies to get their foot in the door of the American market. This is a national security and an economic security issue. We should not give an inch.

During this week’s state visit, President Trump must press the Chinese President on reports that Chinese entities aided Iran in attacks on U.S. servicemembers resulting in three deaths and wounding four others.

The Trump Administration is withholding basic information from the American people regarding how much the war in Iran actually costs.

As Yom Kippur begins, I'm wishing an easy fast to all those in Michigan and around the world who are observing. This time of year is always one of reflection. I wish everyone a peaceful worship before tomorrow’s break-fast with family and friends.

The housing crisis is really being felt across Michigan from Ironwood to Detroit to Grand Rapids. If we want our kids to stay in Michigan, we need to build more housing so they can actually afford it.

In this week's Intel Briefing, we cover what President Trump really needs to cover with the Chinese President next week: 1️⃣ Ensuring we keep Chinese cars out of America 2️⃣ Holding China accountable for helping Iran target and kill U.S. servicemembers 3️⃣ Stopping export of America’s AI chips to the CCP

The Trump Administration owes the American public answers on the true cost of the war in Iran.

New reporting now shows that this support from China may have directly contributed to the deaths of American servicemembers. The provision of targeting information by China to help Iran kill American servicemembers should be something even President Trump cannot tolerate.
