ICE’s secret memo authorizing agents to enter people’s homes and arrest them without a judicial warrant is unlawful. This Administration’s disregard for our Constitution threatens all of us.  Our government is not above the laws it enforces.

I warned in a report that DOGE was putting Americans’ most sensitive data at risk. Now, news reports show that DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group.

They broke the law AND endangered your privacy.
Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov’s recent report on DOGE rang the alarm on the risky usage of Americans’ Social Security data. Now we know—DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group.

One year into Trump’s term, his chaotic tariffs are only pushing higher prices on you. Americans deserve a better economic plan than this.

Trump gave this economy an A+++++, while Michiganders are seeing prices go up and up. We need sound policies that lower costs.

The Trump Administration is weaponizing government to intimidate people who disagree with Trump. Senator Slotkin's service to this country and Michiganders speaks for itself.

I'm proud that she speaks truth to power.
Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like.

The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work.

Watch my full response.

History shows what happens when politicians try to influence interest rates: more inflation, higher prices, and more economic uncertainty.

The Trump Administration should focus on policies that will actually lower costs, not risking the independence of the Federal Reserve.

"Let China come in," he said.

President Trump wants to open the door to foreign adversaries like China who will undercut our automakers and pose a major national security risk. Michigan companies and workers should be building the future of the auto industry.

American servicemembers and communities deserve access to safe drinking water, free of toxic PFAS chemicals.

I secured language in the national defense bill to help hold Trump's Defense Department accountable for PFAS contamination at military installations all across the country.

Five years ago, we faced one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. If we cannot learn from January 6th, we are setting ourselves up to repeat it.

Today, I urge my colleagues to join me in committing to protecting our democracy and most cherished freedoms before we lose them for good.

Wishing folks a safe and happy New Year!

This one is particularly noteworthy. 2026 will mark the 250th anniversary of our independence as a nation. And despite the challenges we face, we must never stop fighting to forge a nation of liberty and justice for all.

I want to take a moment to thank the Michiganders and Americans serving our country overseas who can't be home for the holidays.

God bless you and your families.

I established the Great Lakes Oil Spill Center of Expertise because, when it comes to protecting the Great Lakes, we must prepare for anything.

That’s why I’m pleased to see the Center has 8 important projects lined up to improve oil spill response.

FCC Commissioner Gomez is right. This FCC’s unprecedented threats against broadcasters are already suppressing free speech by sending the message that media companies hosting content critical of the President will invite government retaliation. That is censorship and not what America stands for.
December 22, 2025 at 4:02 PM
Free speech is fundamental to our country. When the FCC threatens to revoke media licenses just because the President gets offended, it’s a direct attack on Americans’ First Amendment right.

President Trump must comply with the law and its deadline to release all the Epstein files.

The victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice, and the country deserves transparency and accountability.
