In this week’s Intel brief, I get into three important topics:
1️⃣ The President's actions in Iran and what we know
2️⃣ How is the situation in Iran impacting gas prices
3️⃣ AI, Anthropic and the Defense Dept
And if you are an American stranded abroad, the State Department has begun organizing evacuations from Kuwait, Israel, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia please complete an assistance request: mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-int...
The Trump Administration has been issuing contradictory guidance, and a lot of Americans abroad have called me very scared. Shelter in place and stay on top of what is coming out of your embassy in terms of guidance.

Time and time again, Secretary Noem failed the American people and her duty to the Constitution. This was particularly true in how she oversaw ICE.
Her departure demonstrates that if you don’t uphold the most basic American values, the American public wants you gone.
We've already lost six service members as a result of the President’s action in Iran, and he still won’t tell us what is next.
We need an actual plan on immigration.
I’ve heard four different rationales for what this Administration is doing in Iran. There is no strategy.
We cannot let AI decide if a veteran gets a benefit or not.

Everything requires critical minerals, and our bill ensures we have a plan to stockpile critical minerals and protect our economy. This is an important to step to ensure hostile nations like China never have a veto over our national security or economy. www.michiganpublic.org/politics-gov...
Trump is milking the cow that is America. He’s made billions.
Other countries don’t pay for tariffs. You do. I break it down with the latest news from the Supreme Court. youtube.com/shorts/17Uiy...
I am proud to join @SenGaryPeters in leading a Senate resolution honoring Men's and Women's Team USA Hockey winning the gold! This resolution recognizes this year’s players, whose hard-earned victory against Canada showed the world what it means to be a proud Michigander and American.
Matters of war must be debated before the American people. This is especially important given the last two decades of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That's why I’m supporting @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers resolution. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
Everything from cars to defense systems needs critical minerals. My bipartisan bill creates a stockpile so China can never veto our economy or security. www.slotkin.senate.gov/2026/03/02/s...
The biggest issue facing our nation is the shrinking middle class. Period.
My thoughts are with the families of the American service members killed and wounded in the operations in Iran. These Americans answered the call to serve. Their deaths are a reminder of the real, dire consequences of decisions made in Washington. apnews.com/article/iran...
—> @slotkin.senate.gov on President Trump’s bombing in Iran: “He's taken more military action in his first year than any president in our history. He's really become a foreign policy president. He seems to like it and seems to sort of easily engage in it.”

Issues of war and peace should be treated with the utmost consequence. Trump owes Americans the same thing he was demanding of previous presidents if he’s going to put lives at risk. He hasn’t laid out the goals or the imminent threat posed by Iran that justifies risking a wider regional war.
My statement on President Trump's Strikes on Iran:
Let’s talk about what President Trump has been saying about elections and voting.

Attention Michiganders, the State Department has updated their travel advisories for Israel and Lebanon this week. We recommend that all U.S. citizens currently in the region check and follow the travel advisories outlined by the State Department and sign up for ...
In this week's Intel Brief, we go deep on three topics:
1️⃣ How tariffs and the recent Supreme Court decision impact you
2️⃣ What you should know about the situation in Mexico
3️⃣ President Trump's State of the Union and what he said about elections and voting

Yesterday, I sat down with Mackinac Island Tourism and a bunch of business owners from the island — some of whom took the ice bridge to get out to DC. They brought some fudge with them, so they were VERY popular around the office.
The ICE facility in Romulus should not move forward and Michiganders need answers.
President Trump is telling us exactly what is he going to do when it comes to our elections, especially if his party doesn’t win. And we need to listen.
If you're just an average citizen—a mom who goes viral on TikTok, a business owner, a community leader—and the government is weaponized against you, you're just gonna duck and cover. That’s why it is so important for me as a U.S. Senator to push back.
As ICE tried to move a facility into Romulus, local leaders were shut out every step of the way. ICE has lost the benefit of the doubt from the American people.
This facility should not move forward, and Michiganders need answers. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...
