ICE used to have five months of training, but they've shortened it now to 47 days. The number 47 was picked because President Trump is the 47th president.

Anyone who tells you we should scrap certain types of energy because it’s “woke” doesn’t actually give a crap about your costs.

President Trump said he was going to put more money in your pocket. But can anyone name a single place where your costs have gone down, not up, since January?

We want to declassify the full breadth of the 9/11 documents because we lost almost 3000 Americans. It kicked off wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe it to those lost and to the American people to release the entirety of these files.

The Chinese Communist Party has an economic playbook: They often reverse-engineer a product, like cars, deeply subsidize it, flood markets to undercut all their competitors and drive them out of business. That playbook is why I am working to ban Chinese vehicles in the U.S. I joined the Detroit Regional Chamber / MichAuto to talk about this threat to national and economic security.

Allowing Chinese cars into the United States with full motion video, geolocation and the ability to be hacked via Bluetooth is a threat to our national security and our economic security.

Today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro informing them that I will not be sitting down with them for their inquiry over a 90-second video I filmed in November. Here's why.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like. The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work. Watch my full response.

President Trump wants billions in taxpayer dollars for his ballroom and a “weaponization fund.” What could we do instead? A lot. We could fix every dam in Michigan, replace every single lead pipe, or feed kids in schools for 10 years.

Let’s talk about the economy. Michigan literally invented the Middle Class: the revolutionary idea that you could work at an auto plant and afford the car you were building. That’s the American Dream.

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.

This morning we learned that a well-known white nationalist met with the President and convinced him to fire several qualified generals for no reason. My concern is that this is the new normal. And that service to country no longer means anything to those in power.

As a former CIA officer and Pentagon official, I believe the single, greatest security threat to the US is the shrinking middle class. This is existential. As a national security professional, what do you do when there’s an existential threat? You get to work on a war plan.

The Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and @Sec_Noem should agree to testify on domestic deployments. It is a fundamental issue to who we are as Americans. No matter where you land on the issue, transparency shouldn’t be seen as a threat.

I oppose the SAVE Act, a bill where if you have changed your name or do not have a passport you may be turned away from voting. This bill will make it harder for the 80% of married women who have changed their name, and the 60% of Michiganders who don't have a passport to vote.

Take a step back and think about Hegseth’s decision to censure Mark Kelly: Former Major Hegseth is trying to demote and cut the pension of a 25-year military pilot for saying the *very same things* Hegseth himself said in 2016. Same words, same concepts, same reference to our constitution — and, ironically, same concerns about President Trump. Watch for yourself. Secretary Hegseth continues to show us who he is: a man who doesn’t understand the values of the institution he now leads. Holier-than-thou, attacking free speech, loathsome of the very values enshrined in our Constitution, and refusing any accountability as a leader. This is quite literally the opposite of what is taught to our most junior folks in uniform. And it's most definitely why the six of us made our video in the first place.

If Russia is helping to kill U.S. forces, we have crossed a Rubicon. We have to take decisive action. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil, and they’re making a ton of money.

President Trump’s moves are right out of the authoritarian playbook. When a leader feels like they're about to lose, they will create a security event and say: "Only I can protect you. I must deploy the military. I've got to do this because we're at risk."
