"By my estimation, we're about two weeks away from a bloody incident that spirals out of control, and this is just the kind of incident that Trump wants to justify more force coming in"
- Sen. Slotkin, swing-state Senator, former CIA, and not an alarmist

I believe that Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal: making sure he and his ilk never have to give up power.

Watch my speech on President Trump's authoritarian playbook.

We have a big deadline to the fund government on September 30. And if the President wants my vote, he has to negotiate. One place to start is to walk back cuts to health care.

Elissa Slotkin - swing-state moderate - is playing hardball. The fact that she’d stake out such an aggressive position says a lot about the Democratic party’s confidence that a fight on health care is worth having—and winnable.

I’m one of just six Senators who have never taken corporate PAC checks. Our campaign finance system is broken.

If we want to regain the trust of Americans on the left, right and center, it’s a no brainer: ban corporate PAC donations to anyone running for office.

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.

"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."

2️⃣ A tax hike on gambling losses

Allred: When I hear someone say, “This year you only get one doll instead of five or six for Christmas,” they just have no idea what working families are actually dealing with.

The question isn’t whether you’re getting five or six dolls. The question is whether you’re going to have any at all.
