  1. The top #Democrat on the panel, Senator #GaryPeters of Michigan, accused #RandPaul of waging a politically-motivated inquiry to “basically legitimize a predetermined conclusion that was reached years ago.”

  5. #PeteHegseth lost his cool during a Senate Defense Committee meeting when Senators #JonOssoff and #GaryPeters criticized his “failure of leadership” during the War in #Iran.

    He was sweating profusely and panicking at times. Maybe he needed a shot of #testosterone. 😂

  9. Sen #GaryPeters, the ranking #Democrat on the #Senate #HomelandSecurity Cmte, was more diplomatic than Paul, saying #DHS needs a “steady hand” following a year of controversies under Secy #KristiNoem.

    “We need a DHS secretary who is committed to the rule of #law & who will protect & cooperate with independent #oversight, whether that’s from the inspector general or from members of #Congress,” Peters said in the confirmation hearing of Sen #MarkwayneMullin, who #Trump selected to replace Noem.

    These are the 7 Democrats who voted to confirm #IceBarbie. Yet, every day, I get dunned by the DSCC and the DCCC to send money so Democrats can take back Congress in '26. #ShameOnYou.

  12. [Youtube, Peters for Michigan]: The Senator Gary Peters announcement is..funereal; the funeral music––what is that in the background?! Like Senator Gary Peters memorial service. Who made the awful decision to add that treacly, maudlin, hyper-sentimental background music?! God awful!

  16. Peters' decision is likely to surprise many of his colleagues & ignite an intense scramble on both sides of the aisle for his seat in battleground #Michigan.

    …Sen #GaryPeters has trained much of his focus in #Congress on issues related to Michigan's auto industry, the #GreatLakes, #cybersecurity, #veterans issues, toxic #PFAS contamination & initiatives to make government more efficient. His annual motorcycle tour around the state has become a staple of lawmakers’ August recess.

  18. "I always thought there would be a time that I would step aside & pass the reins for the next generation. I also never saw service in Congress as something you do your whole life," said #GaryPeters, who was first elected to the #Senate in 2014.

    "And that goes back to 2008 when I first won that #House seat. I thought it would be for a matter of a few terms that I would serve, & then I would go back to private life."

  22. #Michigan senator #GaryPeters at #DNC Day2 in #Chicago said:

    “Let’s be clear. If [ #Trump and #Vance ] win, working people… will PAY the price. Their #Project2025 agenda… gut overtime pay, cut pro-care programs, and give BILLIONS in tax cuts to BILLIONAIRES! We CANNOT let that happen, and we WILL NOT let that happen!”

    That resonated strongly! The crowd is roaring in unison! What a moment! What a moment!

  27. Zoom out on the 2024 #Senate race , and you’ll find no more enticing targets for Democrats than Ted #Cruz, Rick #Scott and Josh #Hawley — three of the highest-profile GOP rabble-rousers, all facing #reelection next fall.

    “If you’re a Democrat, after Donald Trump, there’s no Republican in the country you want to beat more than me,” Cruz said of his 2024 race.

    The Texas Republican is on to something: He’s almost certain to face the toughest road back to office for a GOP incumbent this cycle.

    His pursuit of a third term is tantalizing chum for Democrats, who see rising-star Rep. #Colin #Allred (D-Texas) raking in more campaign cash than Cruz during his first quarter as a Senate candidate.

    But...
    “Hold the incumbents, that’s my main focus,” said Sen. #GaryPeters (D-Mich.), who runs the #Democratic #Senatorial #Campaign #Committee
