  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.”

    Dr. #Fauci & Mr. Paul have been tangling with one another for years. In 2021, when the senator accused Dr. Fauci of lying while testifying before the #Senate, Dr. Fauci replied, “If anybody is lying here, senator, it is you.”

  4. #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. 😂

  5. “And we need a #DHS Secretary who is free from distractions & conflicts of interest that only undercut the department’s work & also break trust with the American people,” Sen #GaryPeters added.

    The Michigan senator said he had doubts about Mullin’s “readiness to take on such a significant role at such a critical time.”

  6. 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.

  7. [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!

  8. #GaryPeters doesn’t have plans for after he leaves the #Senate, but a teaching job in academia or #policy work at a think tank fit his interests. He wants to continue to play a role in developing public policy, he said, particularly around ensuring #equitable #access to changes in #technology like #ArtificialIntelligence.

  9. 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.

  10. "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."

  11. #Michigan’s #GaryPeters won’t seek reelection to #US #Senate.

    Peters, Michigan's senior senator & a fmr congressman, said he won't seek reelection next year & will retire from the US Senate when his 2nd term ends in Jan 2027.

  13. I suppose the upside of Democrats supporting bad internet bills is that I’ll save a fortune on ActBlue donations next year.

    Yes, that’s meant as a threat. #GaryPeters #DebbieStabenow #HillaryScholten

  14. 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
