@MSNOWreports.bsky.social: “...ordinary Americans are saying, this is not how the justice system is supposed to work."

Secretary Hegseth’s purge continues. He has fired another top general in the middle of a war that’s already not going well. This doesn’t make me believe he is doing all he can to make Americans safe.

Michigan's autoworkers can compete with anybody on an even playing field. The Chinese government’s state-subsidized car companies are the definition of unfair — they use cheap labor and abuse the international trade system to dump their products around the world.

I served three tours in Iraq alongside the military. I was a CIA officer and a Pentagon official. President Trump’s threats of further military action in Iran won’t bring us any closer to ending this war.

Some people leave behind generations of people who are better because they knew them. Coach Jim Bibbs was one of those people.

I think in the last two weeks it's become very clear President Trump wants Putin to win this war, and he's taking steps to allow them to sell oil to fuel their war machine, to disrupt Starlink and to show the Ukrainians where his hand actually lies I think that's a huge strategic mistake.

There’s a clear playbook when it comes to myself and Senator Mark Kelly, James Comey, or anyone else the President doesn’t like. He tries to intimidate and weaponize the government against them. We have to push back.

While I’ve been traveling across Michigan, folks are asking me questions about our upcoming midterm elections and voting. Let me be clear: Michigan’s elections are safe and secure. They're run by the state and our localities –- not the President.

Last month, I sought assurances from our nation's top military and civilian leaders at the Pentagon that troops will not be used to interfere in our midterm elections—and that any order to do so would be illegal.

What is President Trump’s playbook on elections?

Friendly reminder: agriculture is the number 2 industry in Michigan, after manufacturing. And we’re the number 1 most diverse agricultural state in the country (meaning lots of different kinds of farms, not just row crops) with regular access to water!

I recently had the opportunity to speak with @oaklandu.bsky.social students in an academic class focused on September 11, and share my firsthand experience of being in New York that day.

Michigan has lost about 12,000 manufacturing jobs in the year and a half since the president has taken office.

This shouldn’t be complicated. If you break the law or abuse taxpayer dollars, you should be held accountable.

Thank you to all the students who gave me the grand tour of Lawrence Tech’s architecture and engineering programs. They’ve got everything here from concrete canoes to a chamber where they test the impact of extreme weather conditions on bridges.

This is not the first time this president has tried to weaponize the justice system against me. At his direction, earlier this year, the Department of Justice took me to a D.C. grand jury to have me criminally indicted for sedition. If President Trump had his way, I'd be in prison.

When you say something President Trump and his allies don't like, they run a play to intimidate you and to get you to shut up. It's not going to work. We can't let it.

President Trump and Elon Musk have slowed down the critical Starlink satellite connection so that Ukrainians are more vulnerable to Russian attacks-- even further indication that Trump wants Putin to win this war.

Whether it is creating manufacturing jobs, securing federal investments in housing and infrastructure, or protecting homeland security missions at Battle Creek’s Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center, every leader I met within the Battle Creek community believed in working together.

I had a great time visiting Eliza Howell Park with Sidewalk Detroit and learning more about the history of this 250-acre park, the community’s efforts to protect it, and the importance of preserving Detroit’s green spaces.

As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, it’s important that Michiganders currently in the region or planning to travel there exercise caution. I wanted to give an update on safety recommendations the State Department has shared.

Fear is the point. Intimidation is the point. And if the President can try to do this to me, he can do it to anyone.

If you commit a criminal act or use taxpayer dollars in a way that violates the law, you should be held accountable. President Trump and his allies have used manufactured outrage about what I said because they wanna talk about anything but what's going on right now in places like Michigan.

So why are the President and his allies attacking me? They are trying to distract from the real story of his failed agenda to lower your costs. To distract from the high price of gas.

Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House.

President Trump has always had a bromance with Vladimir Putin, and it’s clear he wants him to win this winter in Ukraine. So now he's lifting sanctions to help fuel Vladimir Putin and his war machine.

How do authoritarian tactics work? The goal is to create so many threats against you, your family, and your staff that you shut up. They wanna manufacture outrage. They all start repeating the same talking points. The goal is to crush your spirit. That fear becomes contagious. We can't let it.

When you call out their corruption, President Trump and his allies don't like that. They attack you. They intimidate you. It's not going to work, because I believe this is simple. If you break the law, you should be held accountable.

Why are Trump and his allies attacking me? I touched a nerve because I talked about corruption. The average person understands that the president is enriching himself and using taxpayer dollars to do it. It triggers them when you bring that up.

How is manufacturing doing? Well, Michigan has lost 12,000 manufacturing jobs in the year and a half since President Trump took office. President Trump’s economic policies are certainly contributing to the loss of these manufacturing jobs. I break it down.

I hopped on the train from Chicago back home to Michigan. I break down why I’m focused on the idea that we should speed up trains between Chicago and Detroit, and Detroit to Toronto! In Michigan we love our cars and driving, but taking the train is a great way to travel, and we can make it better.

The presidential pardon power is out of control on both sides of the aisle, and I think it should end. There are literally people who are pardon brokers who are being paid $300,000 to get close to Trump and to buy a pardon. Ban the presidential pardon.

Tonight, we received confirmation that a suspicious letter was intercepted en route to our office in Detroit. Everyone is safe, and the matter is being investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the FBI.

I’m very big into this idea that local zoning and local rules and regulations actually really are holding some of our communities back on housing.

No one should have to fear for their safety in their house of worship. This weekend, police thwarted an attempt to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. The would-be attacker was driven by hatred of Indian Americans and a belief in white supremacy.

What is the authoritarian playbook? It is really simple: You get into power on an issue of common concern. Once you win, you accumulate power, enrich yourself, your family, and your closest allies, and go after anyone who disagrees with you.

A recent case in Norway shows us how high the stakes are if we let in Chinese vehicles, especially to our military.

I actually think governing effectively is a three-legged stool. First, we need an agenda that’s gonna actually help real people. Take some big economic swings—declare a housing emergency, create a public insurance plan, and build a tax code that reflects reality.

After Trump's first term, we talked about setting up a task force to do just this. Unfortunately, too many leaders on both sides of the aisle believed that the Trump era was behind us and not worth the heavy lift of changing laws to protect the future.
