This Valentine's Day, I'm sharing the story of my parents, who met in France during WWII and fell in love. Their courage, toughness, and bravery have stuck with me throughout my career and inspires me to meet the challenges of today.

Trump’s Big, Bad Bill is already making it harder for families across our state to afford groceries, pay their energy bills, and receive health care – just to give billionaires a tax cut.

Congress decides whether we go to war, not the president. Trump needs to justify these military operations to the American people, especially now that six American soldiers lost their lives. That’s why I’m voting YES on @kaine.senate.gov’s War Power Resolution.

From autoworkers and teamsters, to teachers and nurses, unions built the American middle-class and lifted up ALL workers in the process. This Labor Day Weekend, I'm once again calling on my colleagues to come together and pass the PRO Act.

Health care is a fundamental right. I stand ready to come to the table with my Republican colleagues to ensure Americans have access to quality, affordable health care coverage this year.

Secretary Hegseth needs to stop roadblocking Congress on these boat strikes in the Caribbean. Senators from both parties are demanding transparency. The American people deserve to know exactly what happened and why.

DHS confirmed it is ready for trade and travelers on the Gordie Howe Bridge. That is great news for Michigan! Once open, the bridge will support international commerce that grows Michigan’s economy.

Americans don’t want to send their sons and daughters into harm’s way when there is no imminent threat to the United States. They want us focused on lowering costs here at home. Not more wars.

The Trump Administration is withholding Michiganders' food assistance for political gain, while doing nothing to reopen the government or address the growing health care affordability crisis in this country.

Thinking back to our “Miles for Michigan” motorcycle tour this year 🏍️ I’m always thankful to everyone for coming out to meet with me on the tour to discuss the issues that matter to our great state.

BBC Politics Live. "And I want to ask you about the council tax issue because" Baroness Jones, "I've lived on a houseboat in London and we didn't pay council tax. And it's been generally understood between marinas and councils that the fees that boat owners pay is actually part of council tax"

Israeli settlers were filmed stealing livestock belonging to Palestinian residents in Khirbet Hureiba in Masafer Yatta, south of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. Palestinian communities in Masafer Yatta have long faced repeated settler attacks, including raids, assaults, land seizures.

🚨 A Republican Gun Owner accused a disabled black veteran of stolen valor. He then proceeded to shoot the man unprovoked. He has now been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison. 3.5 years for attempted murder, huh? This is who America is. Unhinged and violent.

Day 475 - Cutting gasoline prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 10 October 2024 at the Detroit Economic Club in Detroit Michigan. He also promised to release the Epstein files, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. No, no; no-no-no

The arrogance of some of the #BillionairesForBallrooms Big-Media #EpsteinClass is despicable, vile in terms of ego. That a cable TV news anchors considers themselves a journalist is nearly a joke in itself. They read out loud headlines, like a grammar school choral reading session.

So these kids at Vinnitsa Technical School were just having Vyshyvanka Day - celebrating Ukraine’s traditional embroidered clothes. Perhaps they were just showing different ornaments used in those vyshyvankas, that’s all. Perhaps there are indeed no Nazis in Ukraine. What do you guys think?

Today, Senate Republicans are once again attempting to hand Donald Trump a check for tens of billions of dollars for his mass deportation agenda. They're not focused on helping Americans, or even willing to protect our basic rights. It's shameful.
