The Trump Administration's plan to fire 80,000 VA employees would make it harder for veterans to receive the benefits they earned and deserve. My colleagues and I are calling on the administration to uphold their sacred obligation to care for our veterans.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 11(source)

Michigan teachers know that dismantling the Department of Education would be disastrous for early childhood education. President Trump should listen.

Abortion providers deliver essential, lifesaving health care to patients in need all across this country. Sadly, violence against providers is all too common. I’m proud to join with Senator Mazie Hirono to designate today as Abortion Provider Appreciation Day.

The Administration's decision to terminate the collective bargaining agreement for TSA security officers is not only an attack on workers’ rights, it will also hurt hiring and retention of qualified workers and make air travel in the U.S. less safe.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 6(source)

A one-month manufacturing exemption for tariffs on Canada just means more chaos for the auto industry in April. What I said in the Wall Street Journal remains true. We need to focus tariffs on our adversaries & work with our allies to ensure that American workers & manufacturers succeed.

Opinion | Trump’s Latest Tariffs Are Bad for Michigan

The 25% levies on Canada and on steel will kneecap the auto industry and its workers.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 6(source)

President Trump doesn't care about public schools. Unlike me & most Americans he never went to one. He wants to eliminate the Department of Education so his billionaire buddies can divert funds to private schools & get a huge tax break — all at the expense of American students.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 6(source)

The CHIPS and Science Act is actively putting the U.S. in a position to outcompete China and secure our domestic semiconductor supply chain. It's creating thousands of good-paying jobs in Michigan in the process. I'll do everything I can to make sure Pres. Trump can't dismantle it.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 5(source)

My parents were able to provide for my future thanks in large part to their unions. The PRO Act would make it easier to organize and protect collective bargaining. We reintroduced it today, and I'll fight to pass it — because every family deserves the same chance as mine.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 5(source)

Veterans are among the hardest working, most patriotic federal employees in our country. They drive innovation and foster a culture of excellence. But Trump has allowed Elon Musk and DOGE to fire thousands without cause. I took to the Senate floor to stand with these workers.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 5(source)

Last night, America learned what Michigan already knew: my friend @slotkin.senate.gov is the real deal. Together, we’ll fight to lower costs for families across our nation and build a future we can ALL believe in.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 5(source)

President Trump’s speech was full of falsehoods but that’s not news. Nothing he said changes the fact that — under his watch — costs for everyday essentials are rising for families in Michigan and across our county.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 4(source)

Happy Pączki Day, Michigan! Shoutout to my staff that brought in some Pączkis to celebrate.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 4(source)

President Trump's tariffs on Canada are already hurting Americans. They make absolutely no sense.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 4(source)

Sh*t That Ain't True: Trump promised to lower prices on day one, but costs have only gone up. And his tariffs are only going to raise prices on everyday essentials.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 3(source)

President Trump's proposed tariffs on Canada would kneecap the Big Three automakers, slash union jobs for U.S. autoworkers, and hold the door wide open to overseas competitors looking to dominate our markets. My latest in the Wall Street Journal: www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

Wishing a meaningful month to everyone in Michigan beginning their observance of Ramadan this evening. Ramadan Kareem.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govFeb 28(source)

President Trump and VP Vance's treatment of President Zelenskyy doesn’t represent us as a nation and is disrespectful to Ukraine, our ally that Russia invaded. U.S. foreign policy should be about democratic values — not this twisted protection racket that Trump wants to run.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govFeb 27(source)

As the son of a public school teacher, I took to the Senate floor today to oppose Linda McMahon's nomination to lead the Department of Education. She wants to dismantle the Department and privatize our public schools. For the sake of students across the country, we can't let her.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govFeb 26(source)

Another day, another example of Elon Musk's massive conflicts of interest. This time he's cutting the agency responsible for roadway safety — right as they’re investigating his company. Pretty convenient!

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govFeb 26(source)

Couldn't agree more with Senator Reed. Firing our nation's most skilled and experienced military leaders will undermine our military readiness. Our armed forces only owe their allegiance to supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States — not the President.
