He has a vibe that is reminiscent to me of Swallwell…
It’s a vibe, not information.
I hope McMorrow gets the nomination. I’ll vote for el-Sayed if he’s on the ballot in November, I just hope he isn’t.

. @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social know it’s not @slotkin.senate.gov’s seat you are running for, but would love to know what your take would be on their plan to increase U.S. sovereign debt in order to fund a sovereign wealth fund with poorly articulated benefits for the American people. #USpol #MIpol

Explain to me how Pete Buttigieg, who couldn't win a statewide race in Indiana and doesn't think he could win a statewide race in Michigan, thinks he could win a nationwide election for president.
Explain it to me like I'm 12

#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.

“He went to the #VA because he knew something was really bad, & the VA said, ‘Well, you're suffering from #PTSD as a result of your service in Afghanistan, but because you have a bad paper discharge, we can't treat you,” Peters recalled.
His 2016 #legislation allowed #veterans like that individual to get their status changed so they can get care or educational benefits from the VA.
“He's now getting the treatment that he certainly earned & deserves,” Peters said.

A bill that was meaningful to Peters personally, he said, was one to help #veterans who were given a less-than-honorable discharge from the #military due to behavior resulting from #PTSD or undiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injury [#TBI] conditions.
The idea for the bill came from a homeless veteran in Grand Rapids who fit that description, Peters said.

More recently, Peters wrote parts of the #CHIPS & #Science Act to ensure the #legislation supported not just the domestic manufacturing of top-of-the-line computer chips but also the “legacy” chips used in automobiles.

…Peters said he’s most proud of his record of #bipartisanship while in the #Senate. The nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking ranked him the No.1 senator for effectiveness in the 116th & 117th #Congresses. In the 117th, he had 19 measures signed into #law, …& 10 in the 116th.
…”every bill that I've got passed is because I've actually walked over to the #House, I've set up a meeting w/the Republican leader in that cmte, & I'll sit down & first build a relationship.….”

…Peters’ departure would deliver another blow to #Michigan’s clout in Washington. He’s the delegation’s most senior #Democrat & has secured seats on some of the #Senate’s most influential cmtes, including #Appropriations, #ArmedServices & the powerful Senate #Commerce, #Science & #Transportation Cmte that’s important to Michigan’s #AutoIndustry.

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.

"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."
