I support investigations into the boat strikes in the Caribbean. If it is true that Secretary Hegseth or others gave an illegal order, they need to be held accountable.
As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I’ll keep pushing to get answers. The buck stops with Hegseth.

Michiganders are facing higher costs and the Trump Admin’s denial of disaster relief is now driving up their electricity prices even more.
Federal assistance eases the burden on communities when disasters strike. These denials are a betrayal to Michiganders who need help.
I fought hard to bring federal funding back to Michigan communities this year. I’m proud to have worked in a bipartisan way to support projects that will:
👨🚒 Support firefighters
🚒 Improve community safety
👩🍼 Expand child care

Thinking of the Oxford community as we mark four years since the shooting at Oxford High School. My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of Hana, Tate, Justin, and Madisyn, and everyone who was forever impacted by that tragic day.
Colleen and I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s to a great day spent with friends and family – and a Lions win!
My heart breaks for the two National Guardsmen and innocent bystander who were shot outside the White House today.
Thank you to law enforcement for quickly responding to this awful violence. I am praying for them and their families, and I will monitor this situation closely.
Thinking back to our “Miles for Michigan” motorcycle tour this year 🏍️
I’m always thankful to everyone for coming out to meet with me on the tour to discuss the issues that matter to our great state.
Members of Congress who served with honor used their voices to remind all servicemembers of the oath they all swore to the Constitution.
The Trump Admin’s efforts to gin up investigations into these members isn’t a sign of strength.
They are wrong and my colleagues are right.
I’ve always said a motorcycle is the best way to get from point A to B, but we all know riders face safety risks.
My bill with Senator Ernst would help equip drivers with up-to-date safety information to keep both themselves and riders safe on our roads. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
Congrats to the Grand Valley State Women’s Cross Country team on winning their 8th national title in program history. You continue to make West Michigan proud! #AnchorUp
I appreciate Admiral Lunday’s immediate statements condemning symbols of hate and will be closely monitoring additional steps.
Any policy that diminishes the impact of clear symbols of hate is unacceptable in our military.
USCG Admiral Lunday and I spoke today about changes made to Coast Guard policy, including references to symbols of hate.
I’ve always worked to get things done for Michigan families, regardless of which political party controls Congress. So long as I represent Michigan, I’m going to continue working in a bipartisan way to find solutions to the challenges facing our nation. michiganadvance.com/briefs/steve...
We must all come together to condemn the horrific hate we saw in Dearborn this week. It has no place in our state or anywhere in America.

I’m thrilled to bring home needed investments for Michigan’s servicemembers. This includes funding for Selfridge Air National Guard Base that will help make critical upgrades to the base to support our national security. A great win for our state.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.
Here’s my response:
I applaud my veteran colleagues for standing by the Constitution and the rule of law. Trump’s call for the arrest and execution of elected officials who are simply upholding the law is a disgrace and should be condemned by every American.
At a time when Michigan families are struggling to put food on the table, we are making investments that help meet the needs of our communities. This bill provides funding for the programs Michiganders depend on to feed their families and support our farmers. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
