Chinese cars are a serious threat to America’s national security and Michigan’s economic security. Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels. We need to act now and get this right. My bill with Senator Moreno does just that. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The President won his election talking about what he was gonna do domestically. But as we continue to see the war drag on with Iran, it’s clear that he has become a foreign policy president. youtube.com/shorts/iLAex...

Today, I’m joining a bipartisan effort to support the State of Michigan’s request for a federal Small Business Administration disaster declaration following the devastating tornadoes in Southwest Michigan this past March.

Allowing Chinese cars into the United States with full motion video, geolocation and the ability to be hacked via Bluetooth is a threat to our national security and our economic security. youtube.com/shorts/G-iYX...

I take signing on to bills seriously, so this project is not just for fun. The interns do extensive research and outreach to make sure it’s a win for Michigan and aligns with my record. And this year, these interns stepped up to the plate and killed it.
- ES
It's one of my favorite times of the year — Pitch Week! My interns in my Washington D.C. and Michigan offices participated in our legislative version of 'Shark Tank'. A tall task, where each intern briefs a bill they believe I should co-sponsor.

We discussed how the economy is affecting their workers, and the fight for fair wages and good benefits. Labor unions built this country and as Michigan’s Senator, I have their backs.

Last week was busy meeting with Michiganders across our building trades unions who were in Washington, D.C. I met the Michigan Building and Construction Trades Council, along with affiliates from @smart-union.bsky.social, @ibewinternational.bsky.social, Operating Engineers, and others.

He actually held the Senate seat I now sit in, along with Spencer Abraham and Debbie Stabenow. His legacy of public service will be remembered across our great state.

I join all Michiganders in extending my condolences to the family of former U.S. Senator and Representative Donald Riegle during this difficult time. A lifelong public servant, Donald served our state and country with distinction.

I was honored to join the Detroit NAACP, my friend Reverend Dr. Wendell Anthony and so many other Michiganders at the annual Freedom Fund Dinner. Now more than ever, it is important that we are all in the fight to protect free and fair elections. youtu.be/JgEV7IYHL48

The President’s request for the Wayne County ballots is the latest attempt in his constant desire to sow confusion and dissent around our elections.

To put the situation in the Persian Gulf in perspective, the navigable part of the Strait of Hormuz is about the width of the Straits of Mackinac – about 5 miles across. It’s a small area. That is why there is so much escalation and confusion as a result of President Trump’s war in Iran.

I am grateful that the President and all the guests from last night's event are safe, and no one was seriously injured. I thank first responders for their work. While an investigation is underway, we should all be clear that political violence has no place in America.

I also toured their soon to open workforce development hub, where residents will be connected to real job opportunities, training and support services. I appreciate LAHC's time and their hard work, day in and day out helping their community.

Last week, I visited Leaders Advancing & Helping Communities. I saw firsthand the barriers families face getting food benefits, health care, childcare, and other basics, and how hard it can be just to get through the paperwork and red tape.

Many survivors rebuilt their lives and families in Michigan, now home to nearly 50,000 Armenian Americans. On this Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, let's honor the victims and survivors of this atrocity, and those who carried on to tell the stories of survival and history generations later.
- ES
Today, I join the Michigan Armenian community in remembering the victims of the Armenian Genocide. A tragedy, which took place from 1915 to 1923, when the Ottoman Empire systematically annihilated more than 1.5 million Armenians.

In this week's Intel Briefing, we discuss a few big items: 1️⃣ Where we stand with the War in Iran 2️⃣ China, President Trump and Chinese vehicles 3️⃣ The President demanding Wayne County's 2020 ballots youtu.be/2KdI-9t5Sew

President Trump is using the federal government to go after his enemies. And if they can do that to a Senator imagine what they can do to a local clerk or a mom who goes viral on TikTok. The intimidation is the point, and it's right out of an authoritarian playbook.

We have to figure out a new way forward. I am interested in new ideas because the old way of doing things wasn’t working.

This President has repeatedly kicked our allies in the teeth and cozied up to our adversaries. This has real consequences for states like Michigan, especially when it comes to our relationship with Canada.

It's one job with good benefits where you can save every month. A home you can afford. A good public school for your kids and good health care and that doesn't make you go bankrupt if you get sick. That's true freedom, and I will fight for that every day right alongside you.

The Building Trades were some of my earliest supporters and they've been steadfast allies and friends ever since. North America’s Building Trades Unions represents America at its best, and they know what true freedom means.

I was able to get Secretary Mullin to commit to investing more into this program earlier this year, but the job is not done. I appreciate these leaders making their voices heard, and working to protect Jewish communities from the threat of violence.
- ES
These leaders have survived violence and hate of the worst kind, up close and personal. And they were here to fight for more security funding through the non-profit security grant program.

Jewish people are the most targeted religious community in the United States, and anti-semitism is rising left, right and center. That's why today, I met community leaders from the Anti-Defamation League from Temple Israel in Michigan and across the country.

Our military knows the law and their duty to push back against illegal orders. Especially as the President suggests he wants the U.S. to obliterate an entire civilization.

The intimidation is the point, and Michiganders will not be intimidated out of free and fair elections. This request for Wayne County's 2020 ballots is based on discredited allegations. It's another attempt by President Trump to cast doubt on our elections before the midterms.

During Black Maternal Health Week, we’re facing a reality we can’t ignore. In Michigan and across the country, Black women still face higher risks during pregnancy and are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from complications.

@ibewinternational.bsky.social is a historic union that that quite literally helped light every corner of this country. From helping us win World War II to bringing power to rural America to helping the Artemis II launch -- IBEW workers are foundational to who we are as a nation.
