What an honor to receive his speech tonight to a joint session of Congress, and really to the American people. Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty and the dignity of self-determination is all of our fight for a just world order. Slava Ukraini!

I was excited to be in New York last week with the @UNFoundation visiting the @UN HQ to meet with diplomatic leaders about Haiti. Finding solutions to the cascading political, security and humanitarian crises there could not be more important.

On behalf of my family & my office, I want to wish you & your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving! For many of us, this may be a time for long-awaited reconnection. For others, it is a painful reminder of people we’ve lost and hardships we’ve endured during this challenging pandemic.

Dr. Salwan Sinjaree, Iraq’s Chargé d’Affaires & I spoke about important issues related the U.S.-Iraq relationship, including the significance of repealing the 2002 AUMF. The people of Iraq shouldn’t wonder why this old use of force law is still on the books. Let’s get this done.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. In the U.S., someone dies by suicide every 11 minutes. Let’s all work to end the stigma and shame around seeking mental health treatment. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Never be ashamed to reach out for help.

What a way to welcome back the in-person Detroit Auto Show — with @POTUS and newly-minted Michigander @SecretaryPete! I loved seeing our sisters and brothers of the @UAW, like Shamira Ziegler-Moore from Local 140 in Warren, who are building the vehicles of the future!

As a member of Congress and @HouseForeign, I am very concerned about the disinformation deployed by the “Rechazo” campaign in Chile and @meta, @twitter and @tiktok_us’ inadequate response.
These tactics undermine democracy. We need answers.

The influx of U.S.-origin gun flows into Haiti is led me to author a FY23 NDAA amendment to receive a report from our government on how these shipments evade Haitian customs officials. I am working to ensure this report becomes law.

One year ago today we lost my dear uncle, Carl Levin. I think about him every day, as we tussle with the Senate to get things done, as we struggle to protect our democracy, but also more privately when we gather as a family. 🧵

Democrats are putting #PeopleOverPolitics to lower costs. Meanwhile, extreme MAGA Republicans are voting against legislation to lower gas prices, cut prescription drug costs, & bring tax relief to hardworking families. Actions speak louder than words.

Worker intimidation. Captive audience meetings. Misinformation about organizers. Anti-union podcasts. Companies should NOT write these tactics off as a business expense. I'm proud to cosponsor the #NoTaxBreaksForUnionBusting Act to bring fairness to the US tax code.

Our democracy is hanging by a thread. I have said it before, and I will say it again—America is supposed to be a secular democracy, NOT a theocracy.
Let’s PASS the Judiciary Act, which would expand SCOTUS by 4 justices to redistribute the balance of power. #ExpandTheCourt
