Last week, Mayor McCraight took me on a driving tour around the proposed ICE facility in Romulus. We discussed the community’s serious concerns about a detention center coming to this space.

We need to be able to feed ourselves, by ourselves. We need to put Americans first and American farmers first.

Rep. Landsman and I are committed to getting past the noise and getting stuff done for our farmers. Thanks Ohio Corn Wheat and Cherrybend Pheasant Farm for hosting us.

Spent a great afternoon in Southwest Ohio today with @repgreglandsman.bsky.social at a town hall with local farmers. We had an important conversation about how we are working together for a bipartisan Farm Bill, year round E15 and trade policy that actually helps farmers.

Government officials should not be allowed to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets — especially on issues of national security.

Michigan is home to one of the largest Arab American communities in the country, whose rich history, culture, and contributions strengthen our state. April is Arab American Heritage Month. We use this month to celebrate and honor the many ways Arab Americans shape our communities for the better.

For a ceasefire deal to be viable, it must cover the full scope of this regional conflict, including Lebanon. The U.S. negotiators should help prevent further loss of civilian life by sitting down with all parties, be transparent about the deal and how to bring the war to a reasonable end.

My heart goes out to these families, along with so many others from the greater Detroit area who have been living in fear for loved ones in the greater Middle East.

There are tens of thousands of Michiganders with deep ties to Lebanon— family, friends, and ancestral homes. Today, many anxiously checked in on loved ones amid significant Israeli airstrikes and civilian casualties.

Chinese vehicle companies should not be setting up shop in the United States.

We have to ruthlessly attack the issues facing the middle class.

President Trump should declare a major disaster after the tornadoes in Southwest Michigan.

It’s moments like these that are why we made the video to service members last year. And I hope and believe our troops — especially those in command — will have the moral clarity to push back if they are given clearly illegal orders.
- ES
If they have been asked to do things that violate the law and their training, it puts them in very real legal jeopardy. I know that our service members up and down the chain of command know their duty and the law to refuse illegal orders. Even as the Commander-in-Chief tells the world otherwise.
- ES
This kind of focus on civilians is exactly what we accuse our adversaries of doing and what our military trains to avoid. It’s built into the rigorous drilling and routines that our military are trained on from their first weeks.
- ES
The President of the United States is taking his threats against the Iranian people to new extremes. Targeting civilians en masse would be a clear violation of the law of armed conflict as laid out in the Geneva Conventions, as well as the Pentagon's Law of War Manual.

Passing the farm bill has always been a bipartisan project — until this year. I break it down.

Inviting Chinese automakers to set up in the US is bad for Michigan and our economy. The Chinese Communist Party makes these cars dirt cheap with state subsidies, and they're a national security risk: collecting video + driver location data, which could be sent back to Beijing.

Profiting from insider information as a public servant shouldn’t be allowed by anyone. This bill is an important first step in placing common sense rules around prediction markets, and it has real teeth to ensure those who break these rules face real consequences. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

Pres. Trump's latest threats on Truth Social, if carried out, would violate the law of armed conflict as laid out in the Geneva Conventions and the DoD Law of War Manual. It is both irresponsible and wrong to indiscriminately kill civilians in Iran and destroy civilian infrastructure. My statement:

Wishing a happy Easter to all who observe! I hope you all have a chance to celebrate this season of renewal and hope surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones.

Giving anyone the ability to wager and make money if U.S. service members are rescued or not is sick and twisted. We need to ban these prediction market companies from hosting "markets" like this to begin with, and we need to ban any politician or government official from insider trading.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

Americans are demanding action on AI. It’s our responsibility to put left and right limits on AI, especially when it comes to issues of life and death at the Department of Defense.

Whether you are a President, a Senator, the Secretary of Defense, or a civil servant, no one should be able to make money off insider information. Period.

The price of U.S. crude oil has risen by more than 40%, and the average price of gasoline has risen by more than a dollar per gallon as a result of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and war in Iran.

This is a tough time for Michigan's family farmers. I hear their uncertainty every day. And I know there is more to be done. I appreciate the Secretary's engagement on this issue, and encourage all eligible Michigan farmers to apply. www.fsa.usda.gov/news-events/...

Earlier this week, USDA announced that specialty crop farmers will have an extension until April 24 to submit their 2025 acreage to USDA. This is an important step to make sure our smallest and most diversified farmers can apply for this funding.

Last week, I spoke directly with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins to outline my concern that Michigan's specialty crop farmers are being unfairly treated as part of UDSA’s farmer assistance package.

There are no circumstances where the Secretary of Defense's personal stockbroker should be buying or selling *any* defense-related stocks — but particularly moments before the U.S. sends its service members to fight and die in war.

In our democracy, the real protection the people have against their govt is free speech and fair elections. President Trump continues to attack both at every opportunity. And his Executive Order today is yet another anti-American effort to make it harder for U.S. citizens to make their voices heard.

Voting by mail is a safe, secure, and widely-used way to vote. In Michigan, we overwhelmingly voted to approve its expansion in 2018. And, in 2024, more than 2 million Michiganders used it to cast their ballot, where President Trump and I both won.

President Trump has already said the quiet part out loud: if his party loses the Midterms, it's because the election was rigged and Democrats cheated. And he is again attacking mail-in voting. www.cnn.com/2026/03/31/p...

Americans don’t feel great after we got bogged down for years and years and years in the Iraq war. And it’s not a lot to ask, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, for a plan after we're coming off 20 years of being bogged down in wars.
