I shared the continuing concerns of Michiganders with deep ties to Lebanon and Israel, and discussed how to turn this into a durable ceasefire that supports the security of both countries.
- ES
Yesterday, I met with U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa, just a few hours after some of the first direct-contact between the Lebanese and Israeli governments helped move us to a temporary ceasefire between the two.

We discussed everything from how the war in Iran is driving up costs for folks across the midwest, the rise in antisemitism, AI, and how we can move past ugly rhetoric from politicians on both sides of the aisle.
- ES
This week, I sat down for a conversation with Bob Costa and fellow midwesterners (okay, it was Notre-Dame) to discuss the issues that impact all of us.

Yesterday, Michiganders across our state bore the brunt of extreme weather, including floods and tornadoes. This is a difficult and trying time for our neighbors, but Michiganders stand together, and we will rebuild together.

Instead of an emergency on Canada. We need an emergency on housing.

Today, I voted to block the provision of U.S. military assistance to Israel: 1,000-pound so-called ‘dumb’ bombs and military bulldozers. Read my statement:

I see this as a national security issue. In a diverse nation like ours, if people can't work hard, play by the rules and get ahead and have their kids do better, we got a real problem.

We also discussed PFAS water remediation in the Grayling community and how the federal government can help with that cleanup. My team and I are committed to continued feedback, engagement, and action. If you would like to set up a meeting, reach out!

These conversations centered around housing, electric rates and rural health care in the UP, and new electronic health record transition across 4 VA medical centers in the lower peninsula.
- ES
On Monday, I held 5 virtual conversations with groups across Michigan. This included meetings with Marquette ambassadors, Macomb leaders, veteran service organizations, and Grayling Restoration Advisory Board members.

First responders and road crews are sharing that travel conditions can be hazardous. It’s critical we allow them the space they need to do their jobs and keep communities safe — if you do not need to travel, please avoid these areas.
- ES
We are monitoring the widespread flooding and hazardous conditions across Northern Michigan. If you need assistance or shelter, please call 2-1-1 or contact your local American Red Cross. You can also find the latest updates and resources on your county emergency manager’s social media pages.

I can't think of a state that's more adversely affected by tariffs than Michigan. People here understand that all the back and forth is not helpful for the economy.

This morning, I had a great meeting with Western Michigan President, Russ Kavalhuna. We discussed WMU's upcoming campus activities, their sports programs, and preparing the next generation of MI’s workforce — during a challenging time for higher education. Thanks for stopping by. Let’s go Broncos!

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. Thanks @velshi.com for the thoughtful segment.

We are in the middle of an American cultural conversation about ICE and the role of federal law enforcement in our city streets. In the meantime, ICE has lost the trust of Michiganders and should not move forward with this proposal.
- ES
Throughout the visit, one thing remained clear: this is a warehouse and is not a place that is fit to house human beings, especially about 500 feet from neighborhoods full of residents.
- ES
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.
- ES
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.

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.

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:
