President Trump is cutting important Medicare funding, raising prescription drug costs for millions of Americans. We are simply going in the wrong direction at a time when Americans are also feeling the burden of rising costs at the gas pump and grocery store. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve repeatedly fought to support Michigan growers and protect their livelihoods. That’s why I’m going to keep pushing to pass my bipartisan SWAT Act to combat an invasive species that is raising production costs and threatening their crops.
For the 13th time, I voted to end this war in Iran. It's unacceptable that the Trump Administration continues to mislead Congress and the American people about why we are in this war, and how we are going to get out of it.
This week, the Senate showed enormous bipartisan support for the Ukrainian people in their fight against Russian aggression. As we heard from President Zelenskyy, strong U.S. sanctions on Russia will send a clear message to Putin that we demand lasting peace for Ukraine and the entire region.

President Trump is trying to control elections and allow USPS to block millions of Americans from exercising their right to vote. It’s illegal and unconstitutional. Voters choose their leaders, not the other way around. apnews.com/article/trum...

Today, we celebrate an exciting new chapter for the U.S.-Canada economic partnership: the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
This Administration is failing our brave men and women in uniform. We need real leadership to end this war with Iran.
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is the most significant investment ever made to restore and protect our Great Lakes. Now more than ever, we need to ensure this vital program has the resources necessary to keep our treasured waterways healthy and vibrant for generations to come.
My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of the American servicemembers who were killed in action this weekend. Their sacrifice is a debt we can never repay.
In case you missed it – the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now the law of the land! I am proud of this huge bipartisan victory to increase our housing supply and lower costs for Michiganders. huroncountyview.com/articles/pet...

It’s always great to bring a little taste of Michigan to DC on National Hot Dog Day!
Trump and Republicans refuse to rein in ICE and CBP. These fatal shootings are why Democrats are pushing to enact commonsense reforms like deescalation training, body cameras, and accountability.
There’s a foodborne parasite spreading, but there are ways for folks to stay healthy. Michigan HHS has great resources on how to keep safe, and it can be as simple as always washing your hands and thoroughly cleaning fresh produce, as recommended. See more below 👇
Since Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" became law one year ago, it has ripped away SNAP nutrition assistance from over 120,000 Michiganders, including over 40,000 children — all to pay for a giant tax break for the wealthy. michiganadvance.com/2026/06/24/c...

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of my colleague Senator Lindsey Graham. We may not have always agreed, but I respected his dedication to our country. My deepest condolences are with his family.

This is a direct result of Republicans cutting essential health care tax credits that lowered monthly premiums for millions of Americans. Instead of playing politics, Republicans should work with us to address this health care crisis and lower costs. apnews.com/article/affo...

I’m glad the Supreme Court affirmed that ballots mailed by election day will still be counted. Millions of Americans rely on mail-in ballots as a safe and secure way to make their voices heard. I’ll continue to work hard to keep our elections fair and free from interference.
Federal judges this week repeatedly confirmed what we all know and what the Constitution makes clear: No President can nationalize our elections. I’ll keep working to stop election interference, safeguard the fundamental right to vote, and ensure our elections remain free, fair, and secure.
Yesterday’s ruling is clear: USPS cannot determine who is a citizen or which ballots get delivered. States run elections, not the federal government. President Trump and USPS must comply, and they should drop this dangerous effort for good. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/u...
