Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters warned that President Trump’s DOGE initiative would create waste instead of eliminating it — now, a new report from @USGAO details how the DOGE reductions-in-force cost the American taxpayer $6.7 BILLION dollars.

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

This taxpayer-funded ad campaign is completely unacceptable. President Trump and Republicans in Congress told the American people they needed this money to keep them safe. Instead, the President is using these funds to boost his agenda ahead of the midterm elections. It’s not the first time we’ve seen DHS misuse funds for self-serving commercials, and it has to stop. Americans deserve a Department of Homeland Security that is working to protect our nation – not promote the President and his political allies.

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

I led nearly three dozen of my colleagues last week calling on Secretary Mullin to drop these requirements, and to halt DHS’s election interference efforts. The court did the right thing, but this clearly shouldn’t have become policy in the first place. Now, FEMA needs to immediately release this funding to help keep communities safe.

Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters fought for months to ensure the safe and secure method of voting by mail would remain an option for Americans this election cycle, but he warns that we must stay vigilant to protect our fundamental right to vote.

In a joint statement to the Congressional Record, Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters, co-chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, paid tribute to the courage and sacrifice of America’s fire and emergency services personnel during 9/11 and the days and weeks that followed.

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

The Supreme Court upheld the law and denied the Trump Administration’s demands to rewrite the rules for absentee ballots just weeks before the election.

As I have repeatedly said, the Postal Service does not administer elections and they have no legal authority to issue this rule. I will continue the fight to protect access to the ballot box.

Last year, the Trump Administration tried to illegally cut half of FEMA's workforce, putting Americans across the country at risk when disasters strike. Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters remains committed to ensuring FEMA — not DHS — manages its own workforce, as required by law.

The Trump Administration is systematically dismantling and politicizing our nation’s counterterrorism infrastructure. Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters is demanding records of these changes be kept so the American people can see how this Administration has put their safety at risk.

Millions of residents could be excluded from the U.S. census, congressional representation could be reshaped and federal funds could be reallocated across states under changes proposed by the Trump administration.

Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters led his colleagues in demanding that Postmaster General David Steiner and the USPS Board of Governors halt the implementation of President Trump's unconstitutional vote-by-mail order, which risks disenfranchising millions of eligible voters.
