This is an important win for Michigan, selected as one of only four sites nationwide, that helps our role in developing, testing and building new tech for the U.S. Army. Read more: spectrumlocalnews.com/mi/michigan/...

This will bring companies from across the nation to Michigan to test their systems against the same conditions we are seeing on the battlefield in Ukraine right now. And they’ll be doing it with American supply chains and American workers.

Opening Camp Grayling to collaborate with private industry means manufacturers, startups, and engineers – of all sizes — will get a direct line to the Army.

@peters.senate.gov and I are demanding answers and real leadership from Secretary Hegseth about the reportedly poor conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. The service members we send into harm's way deserve nothing less.

Dearborn is as Michigan as it gets, and as Police Chief Issa Shahin said, these individuals are coming for one reason and one reason alone: To provoke a reaction. The most powerful thing this community can do is give them an audience. Don't give them the satisfaction.
- ES
The people of Dearborn are once again under attack from an out-of-state influencer looking for controversy. Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud, the Police Chief, and religious leaders of all faiths are again showing leadership and demonstrating that Michigan is united against hate and Islamophobia.

Biotech is crucial for driving economic growth, creating jobs and spurring innovation in lifesaving medicines. Right now, China is eating our lunch in this field, and our bill helps America lead and protects intellectual property and investments. Read more: allsci.com/news/policy/...

This draft, partisan Farm Bill pits farmers against citizens in Michigan, and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Trump is rewarding a regime that sends weapons and troops to fight for Russia and has a long history of cooperation with Iran. Undermining our allies while making concessions to our adversaries is not a show of strength—it only emboldens those who threaten us.
- ES
President Trump is playing right into Kim Jong-Un's hands. Our alliance with South Korea is critical to U.S. security and announcing a decision to unilaterally scale back joint exercises, over social media, all while touting a "very good relationship" with Kim, is a gross miscalculation.

Secretary Hegseth needs to give Congress and these families answers — including when the crew will finally come home and what is being done to protect their health and wellbeing.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed for more than 250 days, including more than 200 consecutive days without a port call. Reports of exhaustion, food and water shortages, and serious mental health crises aboard the ship are deeply troubling.

This cyberattack reinforces how important it is to harden the defenses of our critical infrastructure, especially in a heightened threat environment.

These sailors are doing everything we ask of them, thousands of miles from home, with no clear return date and under incredibly difficult circumstances. Making sure they have enough food, basic necessities, and safe living conditions is the bare minimum.
- ES
My office has heard from Michigan families worried about what their loved ones are facing onboard the Lincoln. They are raising concerns about the quality and quantity of food, prolonged mail disruptions, and declining crew morale.
- ES
The reports coming from sailors and military families about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are deeply concerning. These brave American servicemembers have been deployed for 260 days already.

As authorities continue their investigation, I know this is an incredibly difficult time for the entire community. Michiganders who need support or help finding local resources can call 211, available 24/7, to get connected with services.
- ES
I’m grateful for the law enforcement officers, first responders, and medical professionals who stepped up when their community needed them most. My team has been in touch with local officials about their needs.

This is a terrible incident, and my heart is with the families who lost loved ones, those who were injured, and the entire Missaukee County community in the wake of this shooting.

Congress needs to act. We can protect Social Security by making sure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share into the system. Fixing Social Security should be one of the easiest things we do.
- ES
91 years ago, Social Security became law. Today, 2 million Michiganders rely on Social Security, but the Trust Fund is projected to run short in 2032.

It was a nice reminder that, despite what you might see in the news, Americans and Canadians are great neighbors, and we have a lot more in common than what divides us.

On my way to Windsor, a customs officer told me how excited Americans were to cross the Gordie Howe International Bridge for the first time.

Mortgage rates are now 6.6% nationally and nearly 7% in Michigan. Congress recently passed a bipartisan housing bill to help make housing more affordable. For Michiganders looking to buy, Michigan’s $10,000 down-payment assistance program can help.

The Iran war is still hitting Americans where it hurts: their wallets and their homes. Michigan gas is $4.14 a gallon. Motorists are paying $62 to fill a 15-gallon tank, while diesel is $5.32 a gallon.

As with any major undertaking, it will take some time to understand traffic patterns and determine the staffing needed. Opening an international border bridge is a big deal, and everyone on both sides is committed to making it work.
- ES
I met with Customs and Border Protection to get an update on what they’ve been seeing since the bridge opened back in July. About 8,000 vehicles crossed the bridge on opening day, and thousands more have made the trip since. The multi-use path also saw about 3,400 walkers, runners, and cyclists.

Michiganders have a special relationship with our Canadian neighbors, despite the drama of the last year—and both sides are committed to ensuring that the first few months go smoothly.

Thank you, Mayor Dilkens, for the warm welcome, great lunch, and your continued partnership.

The relationship between Michigan and Canada has always been bigger than one President or one Administration. It’s built on neighbors and allies solving problems together, investing in our shared future and recognizing that when our region succeeds, both countries benefit.
- ES
There was much to discuss: strengthening our intertwined economy, keeping our border secure, and making sure one of North America’s most important international crossings continues to support jobs on both sides of the border.

After taking my first ride across the Gordie Howe International Bridge, I arrived in our sister city of Windsor to meet with Mayor Drew Dilkens.

Thousands of people worked on this bridge and millions of Michiganders cheered them on. Great for all of us to see it finally open!

I have been chomping at the bit to take my first drive across the Gordie Howe International Bridge (affectionately called ‘The Gordie’ by our Canadian cousins. ) and it did not disappoint.

In Michigan, we've seen the CCP undercut U.S. steel and aluminum manufacturers. And we've watched our manufacturing jobs disappear offshore for decades. We cannot let the CCP use this economic strategy to destroy Michigan's auto industry and put @uaw.org autoworkers out of their jobs.

The Chinese Communist Party has a playbook: steal the intellectual property of U.S. companies, manufacture those stolen products using cheap labor, and then break international trade laws by illegally dumping those products into American markets.

4️⃣ Trump asking for more funding for Iran with no clear strategy. 5️⃣ Pres. Trump’s fight to stop the IRS from ever auditing him or his family, as well his absurd lies about the reflecting pool.

Blanche is unfit to be our Attorney General for many reasons, but the most important is that he refuses to ever break ranks from his boss, President Trump, even if it flies in the face of the law.
