Today marks the seasonal closing of the Soo Locks for winter maintenance. These locks are important to our economy, moving iron ore and other cargo that support thousands of Michigan jobs and power the U.S. economy.

Watch this. @slotkin.senate.gov lays out exactly what it looks like when a president uses the FBI and DOJ as political weapons to punish free speech.
The goal is clear: intimidate critics and chill dissent.

Trump continues to go after those who disagree with him because he wants to maintain power.
I’ll continue to stand with my colleagues like @slotkin.senate.gov who stand up to Trump’s mob boss politics, and call out the President’s clear intimidation attacks.
Reposted bySenator Elissa Slotkin
The Trump Administration is weaponizing government to intimidate people who disagree with Trump. Senator Slotkin's service to this country and Michiganders speaks for itself.
I'm proud that she speaks truth to power.
Right now, speaking out against the abuse of power is the most patriotic thing we can do.
Last week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like.
The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work.
Watch my full response.

Politicians in both parties have told Michigan workers for 30 years that cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party will mean more jobs and higher paychecks.
But we know what happens in reality because we've lived it: millions of our manufacturing jobs shipped overseas.
Ban Chinese cars.
You’ve got to be kidding me. No.
This is bad for Michigan's auto workers and bad for America.
Health care is a fundamentally broken system. It’s about time we do something about it. We need a public insurance option.
I asked Michigan law enforcement leaders what should happen in Minnesota. The response is clear: the officer in question should be put on administrative leave, and there should be an independent investigation. That hasn't happened yet, and the American people need to know why not.
We've all seen the video with our own eyes, and the American people need answers about what is going on in our streets. Secretary Noem needs to come before Congress and have that conversation with the American people.
What is going on with the President and Venezuela? Well, it’s a lot harder to end a war than to start a war. The American people are tired of endless wars.

Americans don’t want the uniform military policing our streets. Over Christmas, the Supreme Court agreed.
And, as we are seeing in Minnesota right now, having unnecessary federal forces in our streets can cause things to spin out of control.

I stand in solidarity with the community of Jackson in asking for a swift and thorough investigation. Jewish communities in Mississippi, and across the world, deserve the right to worship safely. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...
Unfortunately, it is also no stranger to terror, having been bombed by the KKK in 1967. The symbolism in yet another attack on this building in 2026 is a painful reminder that antisemitism is not a relic of the past, but a clear and present danger.
This weekend there was a brazen act of hatred and antisemitism against Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi. This historic synagogue, the largest and only Jewish house of worship in Jackson, is not merely a building. It is the heart of a community.
A lot of people are going to see their costs double for health care. I break it down, and why I am still fighting.
Michigan, it’s been a wild 2025. This year, we traveled to every corner of both of our beautiful Peninsulas. It’s the honor of my life to represent you in the Senate — here’s to 2026!
President Trump wants to look tough because he doesn’t want to be talking about high prices or job losses.
While DC is roiling, Detroit's future is bright —and the event today — which included the Detroit Children's Choir and Detroit Poet Laureate, Jessica Care Moore — was the ray of positivity we all need. Congratulations, Madam Mayor, and onward and upward!
