We must ensure that people who serve as the acting Director of National Intelligence actually have some national security experience needed to do this job, and treat it responsibly. Not on behalf of one party, not on behalf of one man, but on behalf of Americans to keep us safe.

Today, I’m introducing the MERIT Act — the Minimum Experience Requirements for Intelligence Transition Act. This comes as Bill Pulte serves as Acting DNI, and ahead of President Trump’s address on elections this evening.

We appreciate our chambers of commerce who helped put together this event, including Connect Macomb, Traverse Connect, and the West Michigan Chamber.
See you next year!
We prepared 1000 (!) hot dogs and chili so folks could have coney dogs and we were well supplied with Vernors, ice-cream, cherry-flavored snacks of all kinds from Cherry Republic and Benjamin Twiggs, Short's Beer, and Espresso Bay Coffee.
This year @SenGaryPeters and I again helped bring a little Michigan pride to Washington, D.C., at the U.S. Capitol to celebrate National Hot Dog Day. We put out the call for Michiganders (and friends) to show up, and boy did they!
The Department of Justice tried to criminally indict me over a 90-second video. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche played a central role in that. This is not the standard we should have for a cabinet-level official.
There is a fundamental rejection by President Trump to make even the most basic reforms for roving bands of ICE and federal law enforcement in our cities. You can't convince the American public that everything's great when they've seen with their own eyes people murdered in cold blood.
Reminder: Tomorrow at 6:30 PM, I’ll be hosting a tele-town hall where I’ll be breaking down the recently passed bipartisan housing legislation and sharing updates on my work in the U.S. Senate for Michigan.

I voted no on the Pentagon’s budget because the Trump Administration cannot even tell us the full cost of the war in Iran. A bit of transparency for our soldiers and the price tag is not too much to ask.
In our history, we have never sent uniformed military to our polls. Not during World War II. Not after 9/11. The Protect Our Polls Act stops the President from using the uniformed military to interfere in elections.
I hear about the cost of housing everywhere I go because right now, we are in a housing crisis, and we’re 4 million housing units short as a nation.

Idlewild is an incredible part of Michigan’s history, and I got the grand tour (by pontoon!) from Yates Township Supervisor, Chris, and his lovely family.
Over summer weekends, the town could swell up to 25,000 people from the Midwest and beyond. And because of that, it was a required stop for African-American musicians.
Do you know the story of Idlewild, Michigan? From the 1940s to the early 1960s, Idlewild was one of the very few places in the entire country where African-Americans were allowed to rent and purchase lakeside property.
There's a very common playbook that leaders use when they fear that they or their party are going to lose an election. So, here are some of the steps in that authoritarian playbook that you should look out for.

There’s a foodborne parasite spreading, but there are ways for folks to stay healthy. Michigan HHS has great resources on how to keep safe, and it can be as simple as always washing your hands and thoroughly cleaning fresh produce, as recommended. See more below 👇
He’s sued Michigan and 30+ states to get their voter rolls, is actively trying to keep people from voting by mail, and has spoken openly about taking over elections in states that oppose him. And now he is gutting the Election Assistance Commission, which simply helps states administer elections.
