Cost of living and the economy: THAT is the driving issue for the middle class. It's just not driving the conversation among political elites.
If you want to understand why our system isn’t working, it’s because the American people feel like the American dream isn’t working.

Today at a Homeland Security Committee hearing, the senior most advisor to Tulsi Gabbard couldn't give me a good answer for why they just happened to publish a report about Barack Obama the *same day* President Trump was named in the Epstein Files.
The next 100 years are going to be either dominated by the United State of America or by China. And while we make mistakes, I will take American leadership over Chinese leadership any day of the week.
When people feel like they can’t get ahead, when they can’t provide for their kids what was provided for them, they feel anger.
In a multiracial, multiethnic experiment in democracy, people end up blaming people who don’t look like them, speak like them, or pray like them.
This is welcome news and a big step for those still recovering from the once-in-a-generation ice storm in N. Michigan and the UP in March. There is still more work ahead, but my office is here to help Michiganders navigate the disaster process to rebuild.

They picked the DAY President Trump was named in the Epstein Files to talk about Barack Obama. My 10-year-old nephew understands what is happening. It's a distraction, meant to talk about something other than the President being in the files of a known pedophile and sex offender.
Today I delivered my maiden speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate, a long held tradition for new senators.
It’s a love letter to Michigan where we invented the middle class. Protecting the middle class is and always will be my north star.

As a U.S. Senator, my highest priority is to help make Michigan a place where the American dream is achievable again.

Tell it like it is, Senator Slotkin.
Republicans will try to sell you a bill of goods when it comes time to vote — but don’t forget that they chose to sell you out, and hoped you wouldn’t notice.
op: @slotkin.senate.gov
The question shouldn’t be what Democrats are doing. Republicans own the White House, the Senate and the House. If the damn government shuts down, it's because they couldn't get their shit together.
TODAY: I will be delivering my maiden speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate, a long-held Senate tradition for new senators.

Republicans are scared of facing Texans after taking health care away from millions and giving billionaires a huge tax break.
Democrats like @slotkin.senate.gov see right through the GOP's gerrymandering scheme and are ready to fight back.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin to Axios on Republican redistricting:
"If they're going to go nuclear in Texas, I'm going to go nuclear in other places. ... If they're proposing to rig the game, we're going to get in that game and fight." #AxiosLive
My mom went years without health insurance before she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The experience of fighting to get her the care she needed is why I ran for office, and like so many other Americans, it’s deeply personal.
🚨TOMORROW: I will be delivering my maiden speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate, a long-held Senate tradition for new senators.
My north star is, and always will be, Michigan and the middle class.

We discussed this bill’s impact on health care, food, local wind and solar projects, and taxes, and answer questions about how we can help them navigate this new law.
Yesterday, I held a meeting with 400+ local leaders across Michigan. Our local leaders are going to be the first to have to make tough decisions when the changes from President Trump’s big bill hit Michigan. It will be felt in every community.

Some Republicans are "worried about their physical security" if they defy President Trump, says Sen. Elissa @slotkin.senate.gov.
"I sort of feel for them, but if you are scared to cast a vote that you know is important to your constituents, this isn't the right job for you."
Reposted bySenator Elissa Slotkin
“What I've tried to do, probably not perfectly, is just call balls and strikes on what's happening in the region.”
Sen. Elissa @slotkin.senate.gov explains her approach to the war in Gaza, which has meant criticizing both Hamas and the Netanyahu government.
