"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.

There is growing demand for mental health support throughout our country. My bipartisan bill would expand mental health services to rural and underserved areas and strengthen our mental health workforce. All Americans should have access to this care. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Without a clear plan approved by Congress, this Administration is dragging us toward another forever war that would risk American lives and cost significant taxpayer dollars. Our resources would be better spent on lowering costs, from groceries to housing to childcare, for Americans here at home.

Today, I voted to block military actions in Venezuela.

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.

Flight delays are expected in the Caribbean and around Venezuela at this time. Michiganders who are stuck right now can visit this State Department site for emergency updates. Contact airlines directly if your flight has been impacted. mytravel.state.gov/s/step

My statement on the U.S. military raid in Venezuela:

The United States does not need to drag itself into another forever war that puts American servicemembers in harm’s way and has no end in sight. The President said the United States will now run the nation of Venezuela. The American people did not ask for this.

There’s no question Nicolas Maduro is a dictator and bad actor in the region, but that does not grant the Administration unilateral authority to wage war without Congressional authorization. I’m also deeply concerned this action could embolden our adversaries like Russia and China to attempt to remove the legitimate leaders of U.S. allies around the world.

The Trump Administration needs to immediately provide Congress and the American people with the legal justification for this mission and how they plan to ensure it does not lead to the destabilization of Venezuela and the entire region.

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.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 30(source)

Throughout my entire career, I’ve always found the best way to get things done is to find common ground. Check out my end-of-year review to see wins like: 🟢Improving access to opioid addiction treatment 🟢Securing disaster aid to Michigan 🟢Protecting the Great Lakes

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.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 23(source)

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. www.mlive.com/environment/...

Coast Guard to test oil spill tracking models in Straits of Mackinac

Research funded through oil industry tax will validate spill-tracking tools used by responders in one of the most complex Great Lakes waterways.

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.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 19(source)

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.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 19(source)

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.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govDec 18(source)

My heart goes out to the families of U.S. personnel who were killed by ISIS in Syria last weekend. I am saddened to learn that Ayad Mansoor Sakat, a Michigander serving as an interpreter, was among them. I send my deepest condolences to their loved ones as we honor their brave service.

The Senate has passed bipartisan legislation led by Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov that will help simplify the application process for disaster victims seeking federal assistance. Currently, individuals seeking aid must complete a complex process that can take months to complete.
