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.

I'm proud to have secured funding for the Career Exploration Center through my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

All young people deserve the chance to learn the skills they need to land a job in a field that’s right for them.

I stand strong with Israel. The United States must continue to ensure that our democratic ally has the support it needs to defend itself from Iran and its proxies.

I've heard alarming reports from doctors all over America about how private equity ownership has been putting patient care at risk in emergency rooms.

I'm working to get to the bottom of this troubling issue as Chairman of Homeland Security & Govt. Affairs Committee — Dems.

Secretary Mayorkas has made it clear that the Northern Border Coordination Center at Selfridge will be invaluable in DHS’ efforts to safeguard our Northern Border.
 
That's exactly why I worked so hard to secure the funding that's getting the center up and running.

The U.S. EPA just took new steps to dramatically lower the amount of PFAS chemicals Americans are exposed to.

I’ve been fighting for this kind of action for years, and I’ll keep pushing to protect Michiganders — and folks across the country — from toxic PFAS contamination.

I was honored to attend Prime Minister Kishida's address today.

Japan is a vital security, trade, and investment partner with the U.S. — and our alliance is critical to countering China's aggression. We must ensure our relationship remains strong. Global stability depends on it.

This is a huge win for the American people. I've been pushing for stricter standards on PFAS in drinking water for a long time, and I applaud this overdue announcement from the U.S. EPA.

Everyone deserves access to safe, clean drinking water.

Bad actors took advantage of federal aid programs during the pandemic to enrich themselves. Now, I’m taking action to prevent fraud and hold criminals accountable.

My bill would help prosecute people who stole funds and recover the money. freep.com/story/news/pol…

Garden City's Radcliff Center is a model of what a community center can be. I'm proud to have secured funding for its construction in the American Rescue Plan.

It was great to visit the center with Mayor Mark Jacobs and see how it helps bring the Garden City community together.

The KC-46 refueling tankers I secured for Selfridge Air National Guard Base will help keep it at the forefront of our national security efforts for decades to come.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs agrees: KC-46s are critical to the U.S. military's long-term strategic goals.

As both a federal prosecutor and a defense attorney, Robert White has the experience and temperament necessary to serve on the federal bench.

He has outstanding qualifications and I was honored to help confirm him to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Oversight of the U.S. Postal Service is one of my key responsibilities as Chairman of Homeland Security & Govt. Affairs Committee — Dems.

I’m pushing the Postal Service to pause changes to its processing and distribution network until it can deliver a plan that ensures timely and reliable mail service.

This I want to highlight how critical clean drinking water is to public health.
 
From upgrading our water infrastructure to mitigating toxic PFAS, I’m working hard in the Senate to ensure that all Michiganders have access to the clean water they deserve.
