I break down three things I am closely watching this week in my latest Intel Briefing: 1️⃣ More attacks on Medicaid and health care 2️⃣ The situation in Iran 3️⃣ The political violence in Minnesota
I expect a full, classified brief on the strikes in Iran, and the strategy and force protection plans, as soon as possible. In the meantime, tonight I’m focused on the safety of the over 40,000 U.S. forces in the Middle East, and their loved ones back home, concerned about…

Slotkin tells Defense Secretary Hegseth to ‘be a man’ over Trump admin’s military actions
U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin questioned Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over deploying troops in Los Angeles and their roles during protests.

"Mr. Secretary, you're either feckless or complicit." Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth dodged many questions during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
What does it mean when a Secretary of Defense won’t say on the record whether he will refuse to execute an illegal order? It reminds me of Communist China, not the America we know.
Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States – a milestone in our nation’s history. But it’s more than a celebration. It’s a reminder that the fight for justice and equality isn’t over. At a time when leaders across the country, and from the highest levels of our…
Iran is bad actor, no question. During my time in Iraq I saw that firsthand. But the real problem moving forward isn’t what a successful strike looks like, it’s what happens next. The real problem is getting into another forever war.
For our Secretary of Defense, the person who leads our entire military, character matters. Today’s hearing with Secretary Hegseth showed again he only cares about one thing. Pleasing President Trump.
At school, students should be able to focus, learn, and build real relationships, and we cannot shy away from taking action to support that goal, including banning cell phones in the classroom. Our bill does just that in DoD-run schools. axios.com/2025/06/18/sen…
Shooting unarmed protestors is not theoretical. President Trump gave that order to the previous Secretary of Defense in his first term. That Secretary didn’t carry out that and other orders because he had the guts to stand up to a President.
Exchange on if an order has been given to shoot at unarmed protesters. @SecDef Pete Hegseth: "What is that based on?" @SenatorSlotkin: "It is based on Donald Trump giving that order to your predecessor...he had more guts and balls than you...he wrote that in his book…"…
SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? I'm just asking -- don't laugh HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to because he didn't accept the…
SLOTKIN: Does the uniformed military have the ability to arrest and detain protesters? HEGSETH: Um. I -- S: It's a yes or no thing H: These troops are given very clear orders S: What are the orders? H: All of these orders and what they are sent to do it public S: So say it…
Michigan was one of the first to issue PFAS warnings about the foam and the dangers of swimming or eating the fish. It's why I teamed up with Great Lakes PFAS Action for a town hall in Oscoda. This isn’t partisan, it’s about clean water. iosconews.com/news/article_f…
Fentanyl is causing profound tragedy, pain and heartache that cuts across Michigan. It takes resources yes, but also seamless cooperation with Canada to stop the cross-border flow of Fentanyl, and we cannot take our eye off the ball. Lives are at stake. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
