To win the future, you need a plan. The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) commission will work across government, academia and industry to strengthen our national security, protect workers, and boost advanced and robotics manufacturing in Michigan and across the nation.

Congress is behind in putting left and right limits on the use of AI at the Pentagon. My bill ensures a human is involved when deadly autonomous weapons are fired, AI cannot be used to spy on the American people, and that a human is on the switch to launch nuclear weapons.

Four lives were lost, and 20 people were injured after a tornado ripped through SW Michigan. We owe it to them and their families to understand how this tragic event unfolded and what changes are needed to protect public safety and save lives during extreme weather events.

Because of President Trump’s war in Iran, anything that depends on the cost of fuel is going to go up. That means trucking, that means airline tickets. That means the price of food. youtube.com/shorts/22yp2...

Northern Michiganders and the UP: we're aware many of you have lost power. Here are four key reminders: 1. Stay off roads unless its absolutely necessary. 2. Call 211 for local resources and 911 for downed power lines and emergencies....

From 2021-2024, tornadoes cost the state of Michigan $200 million, and I am ready to help the communities impacted by the recent tornadoes. I break down the trends we’ve been seeing and the emergency actions taken by state and federal officials, and what comes next.

One consequence of President Trump’s war in Iran is how it impacts deterrence in Europe. If anyone thinks that Vladimir Putin is deterred when we leave Europe, I would love to sell them a bridge. youtube.com/shorts/6ac5D...

If Russia is helping to kill U.S. forces, we have crossed a Rubicon. We have to take decisive action. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil, and they’re making a ton of money.

Our first responders, law enforcement, and the private security on the ground all put themselves at risk to save lives at Temple Israel. If not for them, it would have been so much worse and we thank them for that. youtube.com/shorts/FCizq...

We have genuine problems in this country with ICE. We've all seen the videos with our own eyes. And Republicans should stop holding funding for FEMA, Coast Guard, and TSA hostage while we debate those ICE reforms. youtube.com/shorts/wYZXE...

President Trump is right on this -- the Asian Carp *is* a rather violent and destructive fish. We need to complete the Brandon Road project and protect Michigan's Great Lakes.

Yesterday, I joined fire fighters with the Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union (MPFFU) at the International Association of Fire Fighters reception. They shared stats about the high rates of cancer among fire fighters and the need to get PFAS out of fire fighting foam and gear.

Michigan is home to the most specialty crops in America with regular access to water. They’re still reeling from President Trump’s tariffs, and now we need to know what these growers should expect from his farmer bailout.

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.
