Thankfully, members of law enforcement who investigate these incidents take it seriously, because violence and threats of violence have no place in our politics.
Democrat, Independent or Republican, the men and women who go into public service choose to do the hard, unglamorous job of making government work for people. They deserve respect and safety.
No matter our differences, threats of violence against local leaders are never acceptable. This time it was in Holly, but I’ve seen it happen across the state. This is part of a troubling trend of violent threats targeting local officials across the country. www.fox2detroit.com/news/holly-v...
Chinese cars are driving surveillance collectors for the Chinese Communist Party—full-motion video, 3D mapping and geolocation. As a former CIA officer, I can't in good faith say they should be sold in the United States.
Democrats and Republicans disagree on a lot of serious things. But on banning Chinese cars, we're aligned. The Connected Vehicle Security Act is about protecting our national security and our economic security.
President Trump asked Americans to accept another war. Now he owes them the truth about what it costs. The bill isn’t just $37.5 billion—it could be closer to $200 billion. Show your math. You got us into this war. Explain to the American people what the cost is and don't fudge the figures.

Sen. @slotkin.senate.gov on how Iran continues to have veto power over the Strait of Hormuz:
“It is literally Middle East 101…Ankle biting in the Strait of Hormuz is their definition of winning."
I’ve asked my Republican colleagues to support my bill, the Protect Our Polls Act, because “None of us want our military at our polls, right?"
Their response was, “I don’t want to insult the President.”
Don't worry about the President. Worry about your democracy and protecting the country.
And it’s particularly petty for the President to keep punishing our Canadian neighbors the week we should be finally celebrating the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge — something Democrats and Republicans have roundly supported for decades.
The President’s 50% tariff on 500 Canadian goods, including hockey sticks and milk, does nothing to help American families. It just substitutes serious trade policy for pettiness.
Canada is one of America’s most critical allies. Michiganders know that better than anyone — we share bonds of family, culture, commerce and closely intertwined supply chains.

"I think this president is desperate to get out of this war...It's a lot easier to get into a war than it is to get out, and I think that's the reality he's living in."
Sen. @slotkin.senate.gov wears her CIA analyst hat and looks at potential options for President Trump to end the war with Iran.
The President has been doing everything in his power to convince Americans that our elections aren’t valid. It’s not going to work, but we need to be clear-eyed about what he is doing.

Sen. @slotkin.senate.gov on how the Senate has changed since Donald Trump took office:
“This institution needs to change…The strongly worded letter that might have worked 20 years ago doesn't work."

Slotkin bill banning Chinese autos moves out of U.S. Senate committee with bipartisan support
michiganadvance.com/briefs/slotk...
By @kdavidsonjrn.bsky.social
My bipartisan bill with Senator Bernie Moreno to ban Chinese cars, the Connected Vehicle Security Act, just advanced out of a key committee with unanimous bipartisan support. Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels and I'm looking forward to getting this bill over the finish line.
Attending the Senate Commerce Committee today as they mark up and vote on my bill with Senator Bernie Moreno to ban Chinese vehicles in the United States. It has support from both parties, business and labor. This is an important first step; let's get it across the finish line.
Right now, I’m headed to the Senate Commerce Committee, which is taking up our bill to ban Chinese cars. These vehicles are a threat to our national security and economy, and today is an important step in getting my bipartisan bill with Senator Bernie Moreno passed into law.
Let's get it done.
