For many of us, today is one we spend with family, enjoying the last waning hours of summer.

#LaborDay is the product of hard-fought battles led by the labor movement, which built the middle class and brought us protections working Michigan families rely on today to get by.
But today is not a day of rest for all.

Our essential workers are answering the call to serve our country every day in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.
From doctors and nurses, to teachers, home care workers, law enforcement officers, custodial and cleaning service workers, childcare workers, postal employees and so many others –– every day their hard work keeps our economy and our communities moving through this crisis.
Today, we celebrate and honor your work, on behalf of us all.

Happy #LaborDay.

What’s a lame duck session? For the next month or so you’ll hear the term a lot. It’s the time between the election and the swearing-in of new or returning elected officials for a new term.🧵1/7
Until the end of the year, my colleagues and I will spend time finishing business before the 118th Congress wraps up. And let’s be clear: that’s serious business we’re talking about. Here’s some of what we have on our plate: 2/7
In September, Congress passed a measure extending government funding through December 20, 2024. Now, we must pass a new budget or another extension before that date to avoid yet another government shutdown. 3/7

The return of Michigander Paul Whelan, along with Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and others, is tremendous news. 1/5

They and their families have suffered horribly, and now they will be reunited thanks to determined diplomacy by the Biden team of negotiators and the advocacy of @RepHaleyStevens and others in Congress. 2/5
Special appreciation goes to Paul’s family, who refused to let him be forgotten, and were relentless in the visits and calls with officials in Washington to keep hope alive for Paul. 3/5

🧵I went to the Pentagon today with several colleagues for a briefing on Ukraine and what will happen if we fail to support its military. It was the most stark description of the stakes — for both Ukraine and US interests — should we fail to provide more military aid. /1
First, it’s no secret that Ukraine is running short of critical ammunition – artillery shells to hold Russia’s ground forces back, and air and missile defenses to knock down the missiles Russia uses to attack Ukrainian civilians. /2
Russia would be able to strike Ukraine’s cities with ballistic missiles, destroying its economy, damaging critical infrastructure like energy plants, and raising worldwide food prices as Ukraine is unable to export grain that feeds millions around the globe. /3

Let’s review Republican leadership’s hypocrisy on the border crisis. The timeline of events is telling: 🧵
February 2023: House Republicans declare the border a crisis and a top priority.

October 2023: Then-Speaker McCarthy says he opposes Ukraine aid unless we address the border.

This agreement, if reached, would be good news – first and foremost for the released hostages and their families, but also for the civilians of Gaza and Israel’s long-term security. Here’s why: 🧵 (1/9)
Since early November, I have called for a strategic pause that would help enable the safe return of hostages, allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza, and give Israel time to think about its strategy. (2/9)
Let’s be clear: there is no equivalency between Israel and Hamas terrorists in how they treat innocent civilians. But, Hamas’ heinous acts do not eliminate Israel’s responsibility to protect civilians. (3/9)
