The GI Bill has lifted millions of our veterans into the middle class. Now, it needs an update. My bipartisan bill will provide the same GI Bill benefits to a veteran choosing an apprenticeship in the skilled trades, as it does the four-year university route.

Time and time again, Secretary Noem failed the American people and her duty to the Constitution. This was particularly true in how she oversaw ICE. Her departure demonstrates that if you don’t uphold the most basic American values, the American public wants you gone.

We've already lost six service members as a result of the President’s action in Iran, and he still won’t tell us what is next.

Everything requires critical minerals, and our bill ensures we have a plan to stockpile critical minerals and protect our economy. This is an important to step to ensure hostile nations like China never have a veto over our national security or economy. www.michiganpublic.org/politics-gov...

I am proud to join @SenGaryPeters in leading a Senate resolution honoring Men's and Women's Team USA Hockey winning the gold! This resolution recognizes this year’s players, whose hard-earned victory against Canada showed the world what it means to be a proud Michigander and American.

Matters of war must be debated before the American people. This is especially important given the last two decades of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's why I’m supporting @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers resolution. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

My thoughts are with the families of the American service members killed and wounded in the operations in Iran. These Americans answered the call to serve. Their deaths are a reminder of the real, dire consequences of decisions made in Washington. apnews.com/article/iran...

Issues of war and peace should be treated with the utmost consequence. Trump owes Americans the same thing he was demanding of previous presidents if he’s going to put lives at risk. He hasn’t laid out the goals or the imminent threat posed by Iran that justifies risking a wider regional war.

Yesterday, I sat down with Mackinac Island Tourism and a bunch of business owners from the island — some of whom took the ice bridge to get out to DC. They brought some fudge with them, so they were VERY popular around the office.

President Trump is telling us exactly what is he going to do when it comes to our elections, especially if his party doesn’t win. And we need to listen.

If you're just an average citizen—a mom who goes viral on TikTok, a business owner, a community leader—and the government is weaponized against you, you're just gonna duck and cover. That’s why it is so important for me as a U.S. Senator to push back.

By refusing to release the full Epstein Files, President Trump is certainly acting like someone guilty of something. So he might as well just do it.

Ahead of the State of the Union, no matter what President Trump says, the average person understands they're paying more for food, more for health care, more for housing, and more for energy.

The American people are simply asking for the truth, and Congress passed a bipartisan law to release the full Epstein Files. It’s impossible to understand the Trump Administration ignoring the law and redacting so heavily unless they’re hiding something. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Our Constitution makes clear that only Congress can levy tariffs or raise taxes. Earlier today, the Supreme Court confirmed it, including justices President Trump himself nominated. He now needs to abide by the law.
