Trump's Administration could release the full SNAP funding currently available right now. Yet, he has fought it every step of the way. Hungry children should not be penalized as we keep working to reopen the government.
It's a very simple compromise: Protect existing health care credits, end the shutdown.   We must take action on rising costs for families who are shopping for their health care right now, and we can end this shutdown.
I am proposing a very simple deal to reopen the government: - Include a one-year clean extension of the current health care tax credits to immediately address Americans’ rising costs. - Create a bipartisan committee that will continue negotiations on reforms ahead of next year’s enrollment period
Wishing Speaker Emerita Pelosi all the best in her retirement. Americans may never know what your leadership has meant to our democracy. I am grateful to have seen it firsthand as we got things done, from protecting consumers after the ‘08 crash to expanding access to health care. Thank you.
Trump’s overhaul of the East Wing raises questions about a “pay-to-play” scheme that involves government contracts and preferential treatment for private donors. We need answers.
Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov is demanding that President Trump provide answers about the construction of his $300 million ballroom – backed by groups and private donors seeking preferential treatment.
Here’s the reality people are facing with health care plans. Thanks to Republican’s inaction, monthly bills are going through the roof. That’s why it is critical that we do not cut critical health care credits and exacerbate the rising health care costs caused by Republican’s Big Ugly Bill.
I was at Lighthouse in Pontiac today seeing the local impact of the current lapse in SNAP benefits. Especially when higher prices are already making it harder for folks to put food on the table, the Trump Administration must release all of the available funding for SNAP.
The Pentagon is failing to keep servicemembers and their families safe from toxic PFAS exposure by delaying clean up at 6 military sites in Michigan. @slotkin.senate.gov and I are demanding that Secretary Hegseth take accountability for this negligence.
Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov are urging Secretary Hegseth to address the Pentagon's failure to protect military communities impacted by toxic PFAS contamination. Servicemembers and their families deserve answers.
We need to ensure a seamless transition between Selfridge’s retiring A-10s and the incoming F-15EX fighter jets. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I’m fighting to help minimize this gap, which would threaten our national security and undermine our fighter fleet.
NEW: I am requesting that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General open an investigation into DHS’s reported contract to purchase two luxury private jets for Secretary Kristi Noem’s personal use, totaling up to $200 million.
The Administration and Republican leadership in Congress should be working with us in good faith to end the shutdown as quickly as possible and ensure Americans can access the resources they depend on.
The Trump Administration is withholding Michiganders' food assistance for political gain, while doing nothing to reopen the government or address the growing health care affordability crisis in this country.
