If you want to see some of the best of Detroit on display, go visit Black Tech Saturday. They celebrate excellence at the intersection of technology, innovation and culture. I’m very proud to be one of their ecosystem awardees.

This week, we started an interesting conversation in the Veterans Affairs Committee about what more can we do for the 9/11 era vets who've been exposed to toxic chemicals. I often say that if Washington were healthy, we'd be having bipartisan conversations like this all the time. It gives me hope.
Bipartisanship and fighting for our veterans

I know everyone in Michigan joins me in condolences to everyone in Rhode Island, and at Brown Univeristy. As we saw here in at Michigan State in 2023, when we had a mass shooting and manhunt, events like these have ripple effects that go on for years. www.cbsnews.com/news/active-...

I am sickened by the attack in Sydney. On a night meant for celebration, Jewish families in Australia, gathering in joy on the first night of Hanukkah, were targeted because of their faith.

This week, we had big votes on health care. It continues to be an issue I hear a lot about, and I will work with anyone who is serious. But unfortunately, Washington seems to be incapable of having a bipartisan conversation about lowering costs. youtube.com/shorts/VImsr...

I don’t know many Americans who are looking for another war. If this is the plan, the Administration needs to be clear about the goals and the plan with the American people.

Great meetings this week with Latvian Foreign Minister Braže and Romanian Senator Corlăţean. Both of these countries are strong U.S. allies on NATO's eastern flank, and Latvia has been Michigan’s state partner for 30 years.

On Monday, I had the chance to visit the Henry Ford Museum. Like many Michiganders, I grew up going there, but this was my first visit as a Senator. Being back there was the shot in the arm I needed before another tough week in D.C.

25% of all farmers depend on the healthcare.gov plans, and their premiums are about to skyrocket. Mr. Lehman, a 5th-generation Iowa farmer, thinks the cost of healthcare is directly connected to whether his son decides to be the 6th generation.

They don’t give a crap about the cost of your health care.

It's a pretty dark day for folks on healthcare.gov plans, including the 500,000 Michiganders who will see their prices go up next year. The American people are crying out for a bipartisan solution to health care and I’ll work with anyone who is actually serious about bringing down the cost.

I was happy to welcome Iraq's Ambassador to the U.S. Nazar Al-Khirullah to my office this week. We discussed government formation, attracting investment to Iraq, the need to demobilize militias, and the need to protect minority rights.

This idea that senior leaders have a responsibility to refuse illegal orders is not hypothetical, and it's not new. Since being sworn in back in January, I’ve asked President Trump's nominees about this issue, on the record. Watch for yourself:

Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth have made stronger statements about the military's right to refuse illegal orders than I did. I'm glad that the 2016 version of Pete Hegseth understood the law and the UCMJ. I'm sorry that the 2025 version doesn't seem to care.
