Tonight, I am voting no on a procedural vote on an appropriations deal that would re-open the government. Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. (1/4)

Like every Michigander, I grew up with the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald. How the ship was built in a Detroit shipyard. How it was once the “Pride of the American Side”, the biggest freighter on the Great Lakes at the time, a symbol of America’s manufacturing might. (1/2)

People in DC may not care who pays the millions to keep this plant open unnecessarily, but Michiganders do — because the cost will eventually be passed on to ratepayers. The state had a plan. The Admin. decided to override it, to the tune of $4.3 million per week. www.mlive.com/environment/...

For months, I have been clear: If you want my vote, we have to do something to address the cost of health care. We can open the government today with a simple, one-year extension of healthcare.gov subsidies to keep Michiganders' health care from spiking before Jan 1.

This is the longest shutdown in history. I am working to try and bring this to a resolution, but we need the President to get in the game. To be clear, I am insistent on fighting for people facing as much as a 600% increase in health care costs.

It’s crazy when young officers up and down the chain are seeking legal cover so they don’t get sued one day for what could be illegal strikes.

Cleaning up PFAS isn’t a Democrat vs. Republican issue. It’s about our water and our kids. Talk to the people on the ground in Oscoda and Grayling. If you can’t swim in the lakes, if you can’t drink the water, it feels like something has been stolen from you.

17 General Officers have been removed or have retired in nine months. I'm a former CIA officer – if I saw this in a foreign military, we would call that a purge.

I want to be perfectly clear. SNAP does not have to expire. There's a contingency fund for SNAP that was set up to prevent this. The Trump Administration could solve this today. Instead, they are using food as a political weapon.
