Make no mistake: President Trump's latest proclamation on H-1B visas is an attack on our economy, and a further assault on health care.

I’m proud that this amendment is moving to the Senate, and I encourage my colleagues to vote yes and support our small business owners.
Our small businesses face myriad challenges when competing in the federal marketplace, and my amendment to the NDAA would help maintain a level playing field for these entrepreneurs.
That’s why I’m leading the Federal-State Partnership for Clean Water Act — a step in the right direction to safeguard our waters and help prevent the devastation of extreme, unmitigated flooding.
Let’s pass this bill and protect our wetlands. Our clean water future depends on it.
I‘ll always work to protect clean water, including our wetlands, and to ensure we are doing everything we can to limit the devastation of future floods in Michigan and beyond. 🧵
We’re once again on the brink of a government shutdown — a pattern that has become all too familiar in our political world. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it SHOULDN’T be this way. Let’s get into it on this week’s episode of Straight Talk With Scholten.
Watch and subscribe below.
Our labor unions and organizations are drivers of change in the workforce. It’s always great to meet with West Michigan Teamsters to reaffirm my commitment to American workers.
So excited to join @michigansos.bsky.social for an in-person town hall next week in Muskegon Heights! This will be a great chance to ask Sec. Benson and me questions about our work, issues impacting Michiganders, and what we’re doing to fight for you.
RSVP at scholten.house.gov/townhall.
We’re running out of time to keep our government functioning. The American people deserve a responsible funding package that supports our essential services and employees — not a partisan package that undermines what keeps our nation afloat.
Let’s get to work.
As for me, I'll continue to fight for West Michiganders and will never bow down to a wannabe authoritarian.
I am continually surprised at the lengths my House GOP colleagues will go to in order to protect the whims and wishes of President Trump.
Even when his policies hurt their own constituents, they continue to bend the knee. www.msnbc.com/inside-with-...
Republican leadership, chaotic as ever, took nearly an hour to get their party together and prevent the passage of this resolution — at the behest of President Trump.
So for now, the effort to enforce our constitutional authority as it relates to national emergencies is on pause.
Importantly, Congress can terminate an emergency declaration with a "joint resolution," which is a measure passed by the House and Senate.
House Dems and a few Republicans came together on a joint resolution to terminate the President's current national emergency. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
President Trump has enforced his sweeping tariffs under the "National Emergencies Act," which empowers the president to activate special powers during a crisis. President Trump uses these powers at a rate no previous peacetime president has come close to. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Let's talk about what happened on the House floor this week, and how President Trump is taking power away from Members of Congress — the only directly elected government officials in our country.
Congress is supposed to be a separate and equal branch of government to the President and his Administration — not blind enforcers of the Executive Branch's policies. 🧵
Every year, the government funding deadline falls on the same day: September 30th. It's not a surprise.
We only have two weeks left to pass a responsible funding package that keeps our government afloat. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Great to meet with superintendents from all across MI-03 today — we had representation from Kent, Muskegon, and Ottawa counties! I’m a steadfast supporter of our educators, and will continue working alongside them to ensure West Michigan’s students have what they need to thrive.
I’m back in Washington working to do what I can to get a smart, responsible funding package passed for the American people.
We have until September 30th to get this done. It’s time to get to work.
So proud to see the affordable housing project reach completion in the Alger Heights neighborhood! I was proud to secure a grant that supported the project, and I look forward to seeing our affordable housing options continue to expand in West Michigan.
