I have been very clear on Trump's authoritarian playbook and the very real threats to our democracy. But recently, I visited Poland and Hungary, and I saw firsthand how they have taken the playbook to fight an authoritarian — a people’s playbook — and dusted it off to make it more relevant.

The American people are looking for a path through the dark and into the light. But right now, there are two fundamentally different visions of America. President Trump thinks America is the Titanic, and he's charging the passengers for a seat on the lifeboat.
There is a well-worn authoritarian playbook: when a leader feels like they’re in trouble, they create a crisis that only they can solve.
That’s my biggest concern as we get closer to the November elections. President Trump has been using every tool at his disposal to affect the outcome in November.
I’ve been asking the administration for a year and a half to be clear about the role of the military in our elections.
I wrote to the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General asking them to put it on the record.
Some cool things happening up at Michigan Tech – from cars to lunar rovers to clouds!
President Trump has taken the presidential pardon to a completely new place. He has developed a bit of a marketplace for convicted felons to get a presidential pardon.
We should ban the presidential pardon. It should not be available to any president under any circumstances.
This investment will give students and researchers at Michigan State University the tools they need to turn cutting-edge research into real-world applications.
No family should have to fight both a cancer diagnosis and their insurance company at the same time. Women—especially in rural communities like Michigan—should be able to get the genetic testing and specialty care they need to catch this disease early or prevent it altogether.
President Trump’s sloppy tariffs have cost us not once, but twice. And while some big companies got refunds, you still had to pay more.
Let’s take a look at how these sloppy tariffs made you pay.
The Postmaster General is being used as part of a much bigger story by President Trump, where the President does not believe the elections he loses are valid. The Postmaster General should not be a pawn in President Trump's authoritarian playbook.

Michiganders are paying some of the highest gas rates in the country because of the war in Iran. I break down why it keeps getting worse.
One of the biggest winners from President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" were the largest tech and AI corporations, who are already worth billions of dollars. It's why I joined @warren.senate.gov to demand a full accounting of how they've taken advantage of those tax loopholes and deductions.
One year ago, a man drove his car into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, set fire to it, and started shooting. People were shielding children. Four people were killed and several were injured.
Right now, we have what we call elevator courage. My Republican colleagues will tell us privately in the elevator from the basement to the second floor what they really believe, and then come out on the floor and support the President and vote the right way.
We in Michigan understand that there is no way forward without diverse leadership representing our state in every field. Especially now. I’m thrilled that the @cbc.house.gov is here in these halls, making sure their voices cannot be ignored.
In just a few short years, Michigan has gone from farmers dumping milk because we didn’t have enough processing facilities, to having one of the biggest facilities in the country. And our cows produce more milk per cow than anywhere in the country! That’s huge!
There is a growing body of evidence that Chinese companies are helping Iran target and kill American troops, keep Iran's drone and missile programs alive and sustain Iran's economy.
There needs to be accountability.

In our Intel Briefing this week, we dive into four big topics:
1️⃣ Trump’s tariff refunds to big corporations
2️⃣ Why the Iran War keeps raising gas prices in Michigan
3️⃣ The President’s pay-to-play pardons
4️⃣ How our elections will be safe and secure this November
Chinese cars are driving spy machines, and the video, lidar and geolocation data they collect all goes back to Beijing.
Our bill stops these cars from entering the United States and protects our national security.
