Three parts of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill that were tucked away deep in the text: A tax deduction for private jets, changes on gambling taxes and a huge carve out for Big PHARMA.
Reposted bySenator Elissa Slotkin
Democratic Senator Elissa @Slotkin.Senate.gov says the $9 billion rescission package passed by Republicans "undercuts the leadership of this branch of government."
"It undercuts the separation of powers, which is, I think, a theme for this administration."

Thank you to President Neil Barclay and his wonderful staff for putting on a great event.
At over 900 acres, this Detroit gem is the second most visited state park in the entire country (after Niagara Falls). We explored its history and transformation, and the DNR’s work to preserve it for future generations.
Belle Isle is a must-visit for every Michigander and anyone visiting our state. And during National Parks and Recreation Month, I was happy to get the official tour with the MI DNR.

The African World Festival this past weekend was back at Hart Plaza, hosted by The Wright Museum as it celebrates 60 years as a pre-eminent museum of African-American history in the state. It has been a cornerstone of Black history and culture, and this weekend, it was on full display in Detroit.
During this week’s Intel Briefing, I talked about our national debt: what it means for your pocketbook and our national security.

During this week’s Intel Briefing, I answered a question I’ve been getting a lot: how does the President’s bill affect school lunches?
With impending Medicaid and Obamacare cuts, Michiganders are either at risk of losing their health care or paying significantly more.
Important, and unwelcome news: Health insurance premiums in Michigan are set to spike in 2026 – up to a 17% increase for individuals, and an 11% increase for small businesses. Every Michigander should watch their health insurance very closely this fall.
In our weekly Intel Briefing, we do another look at President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and what it means for kids in schools, the national debt and hidden provisions like:
1️⃣ A tax deduction for private jets
2️⃣ A tax hike on gambling losses
3️⃣ A Big PHARMA carve out

"Democrats are so careful and they're so caveated," says Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa @slotkin.senate.gov, who has drafted an economic "war plan" for the party.
"They live often in a world where they constrain themselves."

"You can't be both the arsonist and the firefighter."
Senator Elissa Slotkin blames President Trump for fueling his base's interest in the Epstein files and says his response to the controversy has been "weird."
"Just release them, and let's move on to the real work of the country."
We kicked off our first National Hot Dog Day in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday.
Here’s what Michiganders had to say.

Melissa, from Davison, works with families who rely on SNAP to meet their nutritional needs. She lost her job because of Trump Administration cuts, and she is worried about hungry kids.

U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Michigan State University cancer researcher Dr. Jamie Bernard said on Wednesday that cuts to federal NIH grants will cause a crisis in cancer research and force Americans to be reliant on other nations for medicines, vaccines and cures.
