Abandoning our allies and partners in there fight against tyranny is not the American way. The President must reverse the pause and get the aid Congress appropriated to Ukraine so they can continue fighting for their democracy and freedom.

Analysts predict the cost of a new car will go up $12,000, a complex supply chain will be disrupted, automaker stock prices are spiraling. Work with us to find a bipartisan path to our goals, but blanket tariffs will hurt Michigan. Don't tariff Canada. Don't tariff Mexico.

TARIFFS ON CANADA ARE GOING TO BLOW A HOLE IN THE U.S AUTO INDUSTRY. Production lines will freeze. Autoworkers out of a job. I worked on the auto rescue in 2009, I know the difference between a manufactured crisis and a real one. Don't do it Donald Trump! Stop the threats!

This women’s history month, I’m standing alongside the generations of women before me who fought for me and every other American woman to have the right to vote, get credit in our own names, own property, and pursue careers.

Just wrapped up a town hall in Oakland County today, the fear and anger with the cowardice of the House GOP is palpable. Why are they giving up their power to an unelected billionaire? We will fight back and we won’t stand down.

Elon Musk wants China to win. NIST & the CHIPS & Science Act I helped write & pass provides structures & incentives for AMERICAN innovators to develop next gen semiconductors & safe AI. Gutting it will cost MI manufacturing jobs, raise costs & give China the upper hand.

Great to meet with the Council of Michigan Foundations yesterday, their stewardship of our state’s generous philanthropic donors helps so many Michiganders in need. I will always continue to support their work in the Congress as they catalyze positive change in our communities!

Billionaires’ kids always get a leg up, but every Michigan kid deserves a fair chance too. That’s why I wrote & introduced with Rep. Jimmy Gomez, the Pell to Grad Act this week to let students from lower income families use the funds for a graduate degree. Read the full bill ⤵️

In the Science Committee today, we had a hearing about returning to the moon, but that's going to be hard to do when the House Republicans cut healthcare & education for the American kids who might be tomorrow’s astronauts. How does that make us more competitive? Short answer - it doesn't.

How many American lives will be lost to try and make this a reality? We will not send American troops to displace a beleaguered civilian population in contravention of international law so Trump can bankrupt another casino.

The #EqualityAct would explicitly protect LGBTQI+ Americans from discrimination under federal civil rights law.  As a member of the @EqualityCaucus, I'm celebrating 4 years since the House of Representatives last passed the Equality Act— the 119th Congress needs to vote on this, it must become law.

Met with representatives of MI11’s pro-Israel community today. We discussed supporting our ally Israel, the world’s only Jewish state, what I’m doing in the Congress to combat antisemitism & anti-Israel sentiment worldwide, and the need for a lasting peace where Hamas is defeated & Israel is secure.

I will never vote to cut healthcare for 37,000 Michiganders, many kids, in the 11th District. That’s why I voted no on the Republican Rip Off. This isn’t a budget it’s a handout to billionaires like Elon Musk.

We must get Israeli-American Edan Alexander home. Extend the deal. Get every hostage home. Don’t let Hamas sacrifice any more hostages or innocent Palestinians.

Great to meet with some of MI11's greatest - veterans & members of the Michigan American Legion! We discussed protecting vets' benefits, increasing access to mental healthcare & fully funding the PACT Act. I'm grateful for their partnership in supporting vets & their families!

Elon Musk's list of what he did last week is just a trail of destruction and unlike his email to federal workers, it can’t be ignored. Here are a few of his “so-called” accomplishments:

Three years after Putin’s lawless, full-scale invasion, Ukrainians are still standing strong. President Trump and pro-Putin Republicans are weakly appeasing a dictator who threatens America’s security and takes Americans, like my constituent, Paul Whelan, hostage.
