When officers don't identify themselves during immigration enforcement operations, it risks escalation and puts both them and members of the public at risk.   That's why I cosponsored legislation requiring those officers to have clearly displayed identification.

The way Senator Padilla was treated today is outrageous and inexcusable. He was doing his job and trying to get information for his constituents. We need accountability for the personnel who forced him to the ground and handcuffed him and immediate answers from the Admin.

Violence targeting law enforcement is never acceptable. I condemn the recent attacks on officers in the line of duty.

The Pentagon is failing to keep servicemembers and their families safe from toxic PFAS exposure by delaying clean up at 6 military sites in Michigan. @slotkin.senate.gov and I are demanding that Secretary Hegseth take accountability for this negligence.

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.

Hey Michigan 👋 if you get your health insurance from healthcare.gov, you can now visit that site to see how much health care plans will cost next year. Michigan’s open enrollment period for health care starts this Saturday, Nov. 1, but you can start comparing rates today.

We need to ensure a seamless transition between Selfridge’s retiring A-10s and the incoming F-15EX fighter jets. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I’m fighting to help minimize this gap, which would threaten our national security and undermine our fighter fleet.

NEW: I am requesting that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General open an investigation into DHS’s reported contract to purchase two luxury private jets for Secretary Kristi Noem’s personal use, totaling up to $200 million.

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.

Trump’s economic policies are taking us in the wrong direction for lowering costs.

I’m leading a bill to ensure our service members and federal employees get the pay they have missed so far due to the shutdown. People need to pay their bills now. Simple as that. I encourage my colleagues to get behind it as we work to address the health care crisis and end this shutdown.

I fought tooth-and-nail to pass the Affordable Care Act when I first came to Congress. I won't stand by now as Republicans rip health care away from millions of Americans. We must ensure families can access health care.
