I am grateful for Jeff Abernathy's leadership over the last 14 years at my alma mater — Alma College.

His work significantly expanded undergraduate opportunities and I'm looking forward to seeing him continue to serve in a new role at Alma as an English Professor!

The national security supplemental we just passed includes over $400 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
 
I fought to include this funding to help keep all houses of worship safe from hate — and I'm proud that it was included in this critical legislation.

Net neutrality is key to ensuring internet service providers can’t block, slow, or prioritize internet traffic for financial gain.

I applaud the FCC's decision — which will help protect American consumers and their internet access.

All eyes are on Detroit! I’m so excited for the city and all of Michigan, and thankful to everyone involved — especially the union workers who built this event from the ground up.

Today, on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, I’m reflecting on my visit to the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex in Yerevan.

I’m proud to stand with Michigan’s resilient Armenian community, and honor the memory of the 1.5 million innocents murdered in the genocide.

The NFL draft is going to be huge for Detroit.

But we can't forget the UNION workers who built the stage at the heart of this amazing event. None of this would be possible without them.

The fentanyl epidemic continues to impact communities across the country. Our federal government must do more to combat it.

WATCH Chairman Senator Gary Peters ask Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas what Homeland Security is doing to keep this illicit drug out of our communities.

Happy Michigan!

Our state is blessed with many natural treasures — especially the Great Lakes. I’m working hard to protect and preserve them, so future generations can hold them as dearly as we all do today.

Last night’s victory for the UAW in Chattanooga was a milestone for the American labor movement.
 
We must keep standing with the UAW as they fight to organize EVERYWHERE — that’s why I led a letter calling on the CEOs of non-union automakers not to interfere with organizing.

Make no mistake: this is a massive win for ALL American workers.
 
The UAW is fighting for the future of the middle class and I'm proud to stand with them. Everyone should be able to join a union.

PFAS chemicals are linked to serious negative health conditions. That's why I've long fought to reduce Americans' exposure to those toxins.

I applaud this important step from the administration — and I'll keep pushing for more strong action.

New changes that U.S. Postal Service is making to its distribution network have delayed service in some communities. Rural areas like the Upper Peninsula are facing particularly serious consequences.

As Chair of Homeland Security & Govt. Affairs Committee — Dems I'm pushing USPS leadership for answers.

People are far less likely to leave an abusive situation if they're concerned about the safety of a beloved pet.
 
My PAWS Act gives shelters the resources they need to safeguard survivors & their pets. AG Garland confirmed that the program is helping survivors get a fresh start.

I stand with the health care professionals going on strike at MyMichigan Health in Sault Ste. Marie and Ascension St. John.
 
This strike isn't just about workers getting the wages and working conditions they deserve — it's about making sure that patients get the care they need.

The Affordable Connectivity Program has connected over a million Michiganders to affordable high-speed internet. But its funding may lapse at the end of April.

I'm fighting in Congress to keep the program running, so folks across our state can keep affordable internet access.

PFAS are linked to numerous serious health conditions, and Americans are exposed to them every day.

I’ve been pushing to deal with this contamination for years, and I applaud the U.S. EPA’s recent action to dramatically reduce the amount of PFAS present in drinking water.
