As Americans, we have a right to non-violent protest. But it’s important they stay peaceful. This Administration is trying to create a pretext for more violence. They are looking for a reason to get more involved.
Do not give anyone an excuse to label protests as violent.

Lauren's daughter Harper just finished her treatments for pediatric cancer. But the Medicaid cuts in Trump's budget law could put Harper and other Georgia kids' care at risk.
I met with Indian Ambassador Vinay Kwatra last week, where we discussed the strategic importance of the U.S.-India relationship. We have a close economic relationship, shared security interests and strong people-to-people ties– including the large and growing Indian diaspora in Michigan.
Another family wrote in facing health care premiums that would nearly double next year. A woman from Macomb County told me that her health care premium is going from $272 per check to $516 per check starting on January 1.

Trying the same thing over and over is the definition of crazy. To my Republican colleagues, let's act like adults, have a conversation and solve this.

Sen. Slotkin: We want to be able to sit in a room and have a negotiation. We don't need to negotiate through the press. Just get in a room like adults do. It's not enough anymore to take the word of Speaker Johnson or Senator Thune because they have to go check with the guy in the White House.
It’s not politics. It’s your kid’s doctor visits. Your mom’s cancer screening. It’s deeply personal. And the letters being sent to Michiganders about price increases aren’t some made-up line. People know their pocketbooks. And they certainly know when politicians are trying to sell them a line.
The House has been out 28 straight days. Paid. And @SpeakerJohnson is dismissing the health care crisis as ‘just politics.’

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "We want to sit in a room and have a negotiation. We don't want to negotiate through the press. I don't need to watch Senator Thune on TV in order to find out what he says he's offering. Just get in a room like adults do and we can talk this out."

A retired couple from Gaylord, who are on a fixed income, told me that if healthcare.gov credits aren’t extended, they believe their costs will go up 40 to 60 percent!

Michigan's auto industry is the lifeblood of our economy. Whenever any Big 3 auto company invests millions of dollars to create new auto jobs in my state – that’s a good day for Michigan. This announcement solidifies Stellantis’ commitment to Michigan. bridgemi.com/business-wat...
President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is causing a health care crisis.
We want to have a conversation like adults and talk about health care.
A child care business owner. A retiree from Jackson. A clergy member from mid-Michigan. These are the health care stories Michiganders shared with me.

We are on the verge of a health care crisis, where over 15 million could lose health care and President Trump still refuses to negotiate to end the govt shutdown. But today, he celebrated a $20 billion taxpayer-funded bailout to his buddy in Argentina. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
A clergy member in mid-Michigan told me that her employer provided insurance will go up next year. She said the plan for her and her husband will cost $2,244 MORE a year ($160 a month) for the same coverage in 2026. Share your story at: slotkin.senate.gov/letters
This is a common story. People still don’t know HOW MUCH they will pay, but know it is going to be more. A woman from Houghton wrote in and told me she was ONLY able to afford insurance because of the healthcare.gov tax credits and now is worried she will have to drop it. She received this letter.
