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.

“This is just not a moment to be careful and polite. We need a plan.”
@slotkin.senate.gov talks to Margaret Hoover about her “war plan” for Democrats, bridging the party’s ideological divide, and taking on Trump’s agenda.

Michigan has a significant gaming industry that creates jobs and drives tourism. But in order to help pay for President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill," he hiked up taxes on gambling losses. That’s an important change for everyone involved. www.cnn.com/2025/07/09/p...
Despite this setback, I know Michigan’s leaders – from local to state to federal – will dust themselves off and continue to work on bringing more jobs to our state. This was an unnecessary shot to the foot brought on by sloppy policies from the White House.
President Trump’s agenda of economic chaos just cost Michigan jobs in a very concrete way: We’re talking a once-in-a-generation development project, thousands of union jobs gone, and an economic sea-change that we were working toward in Genesee County and beyond.
With increased immigration enforcement from this Administration, Kathleen, from Novi, is concerned for her family member who is a green card holder.
We’ve officially brought National Hot Dog Day to the U.S. Senate! Thank you to @peters.senate.gov for joining me in hosting today and sharing the joy of Coney dogs and Michigan-made favorites with a sell-out crowd of Michiganders (and those who aspire to be Michiganders)!
Watch and call our office at 202.224.4822 if you have questions on how this bill impacts you.
Last night, I held a tele-town hall with 50,000 Michiganders on President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” I took questions from worried Michiganders on everything from health care to the Great Lakes to immigration to food assistance.

As the new tax and spending policy brings changes to several government programs including Medicaid and SNAP benefits, U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly) hosted a tele-town hall Tuesday night to break down the impacts Michiganders can expect to see from the law.

WATCH: We are live at my telephone town hall. We'll be taking questions and discussing the impact of President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" on your pocketbook.

In recent months, we have seen police, wearing hoodies and masks, make arrests that look more like kidnappings in an authoritarian country. Law enforcement should be required to identify themselves while enforcing our immigration laws.
