We discussed everything from how the war in Iran is driving up costs for folks across the midwest, the rise in antisemitism, AI, and how we can move past ugly rhetoric from politicians on both sides of the aisle.
This week, I sat down for a conversation with Bob Costa and fellow midwesterners (okay, it was Notre-Dame) to discuss the issues that impact all of us.
Thank you to the first responders and neighbors who are jumping in to help.
If you or your family were impacted call 211 or our office at 202-224-4822 to get information and resources.
Yesterday, Michiganders across our state bore the brunt of extreme weather, including floods and tornadoes. This is a difficult and trying time for our neighbors, but Michiganders stand together, and we will rebuild together.
Instead of an emergency on Canada. We need an emergency on housing.
Today, I voted to block the provision of U.S. military assistance to Israel: 1,000-pound so-called ‘dumb’ bombs and military bulldozers.
Read my statement:
I see this as a national security issue. In a diverse nation like ours, if people can't work hard, play by the rules and get ahead and have their kids do better, we got a real problem.
We also discussed PFAS water remediation in the Grayling community and how the federal government can help with that cleanup. My team and I are committed to continued feedback, engagement, and action. If you would like to set up a meeting, reach out!
These conversations centered around housing, electric rates and rural health care in the UP, and new electronic health record transition across 4 VA medical centers in the lower peninsula.
On Monday, I held 5 virtual conversations with groups across Michigan. This included meetings with Marquette ambassadors, Macomb leaders, veteran service organizations, and Grayling Restoration Advisory Board members.
Stay safe and check in with your neighbors. www.michigan.gov/msp/division...
First responders and road crews are sharing that travel conditions can be hazardous. It’s critical we allow them the space they need to do their jobs and keep communities safe — if you do not need to travel, please avoid these areas.
We are monitoring the widespread flooding and hazardous conditions across Northern Michigan.
If you need assistance or shelter, please call 2-1-1 or contact your local American Red Cross. You can also find the latest updates and resources on your county emergency manager’s social media pages.
I can't think of a state that's more adversely affected by tariffs than Michigan. People here understand that all the back and forth is not helpful for the economy.
This morning, I had a great meeting with Western Michigan President, Russ Kavalhuna. We discussed WMU's upcoming campus activities, their sports programs, and preparing the next generation of MI’s workforce — during a challenging time for higher education. Thanks for stopping by. Let’s go Broncos!
Watch my interview with @notus.com on agriculture in America, farmers, tariffs and what Democrats need to do on affordability. youtu.be/r1OjV4EBaDU?...
I know that our service members up and down the chain of command know their duty and the law to refuse illegal orders. Even as the Commander-in-Chief tells the world otherwise.
Thanks @velshi.com for the thoughtful segment.
We are in the middle of an American cultural conversation about ICE and the role of federal law enforcement in our city streets. In the meantime, ICE has lost the trust of Michiganders and should not move forward with this proposal.
Throughout the visit, one thing remained clear: this is a warehouse and is not a place that is fit to house human beings, especially about 500 feet from neighborhoods full of residents.
