Our veterans need an electronic health system that works with and for them—not against them. That’s why I am leading this effort with members of the Senate Veterans Committee to ensure they have the best health care experience possible. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
Lawmakers concerned about VA rollout of electronic health record system in Michigan

Despite all the talking points to the media — and by Cabinet members directly to senators last month — this was never about stopping the drug cartels. If it were, President Trump wouldn’t have pardoned drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández.
President Trump's decision to bomb targets in Venezuela, depose Nicolas Maduro, and "run" Venezuela continues the signature trend of his presidency: relentless focus on foreign entanglements and looking tough abroad, to distract from what’s happening to Americans' pocketbooks.

Thank you @warren.senate.gov for joining with me on this important effort.
Our national security should never be for sale. America's foreign policy decisions must be made solely on the basis of American national interest. The State Dept's must conduct a full investigation in this case, and make those findings public. www.semafor.com/article/12/2...
Exclusive: Sacks, Witkoff could face ethics probe over UAE deals
The Trump officials’ involvement in a decision to allow export of advanced US-made chips to the UAE has come under scrutiny from Democrats.
