Begging Trump & Elon is your strategy?
This is DOA and you know it.
You already gave away your only leverage by rubber stamping trump nominees, his budget, his mass deportations and you got NOTHING in return.
You’re really not very good at your job. https://bsky.app/profile/ninaturner.bsky.social/post/3lnvyysrru22v

Slotkin calls herself a Dem but has voted to approve more of Trump's Senate nominees than any other Dem AND has done virtually nothing nor said anything about Trump's daily unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral atrocities.

So I would recommend that Slotkin GFY.

sillythecat.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh wow! Tough "fighter" Slotkin calls out the obvious but completely fails to honor her oath of office.

Putrid hypocrite Slotkin should NEVER be re-elected.

What a joke on Michigan.

And the funny thing is she thinks she is a political genius when in fact she won bc Rogers was SO bad.😂

elkiemom.bsky.social•12 days ago

You give Musk too much humanity. It’s not that he doesn’t understand. He just doesn’t give a shit.

dunnluft.bsky.social•12 days ago

The only reason people voted for you was a lack of options. I can guarantee that won't be the case the next time you are in a primary.

dunnluft.bsky.social•12 days ago

I wish the Republican had defeated you for the Senate seat. At least I can trust a Republican to be a loyal member of his atrocious party, and I know where he stands. Nobody can trust you to do anything as a Democrat.

dunnluft.bsky.social•12 days ago

I guess as an when you grow up rich and go to private school it's hard to understand the plight of the average working person. Hopefully your primary challenger will defeat you in the next election. We do not forget.

dunnluft.bsky.social•12 days ago

Let me be plain - Slotkin is an ASSHOLE!
Slotkin - Sounds Russian to me.

Kids, Sen. Slotkin is was ignorant looks like.

Oooh did you write a strongly worded letter🙄

mel-travels.bsky.social•12 days ago

So you lied about being a democrat.

ladytacobellum.bsky.social•12 days ago

Great job of focusing on an issue that affects both Republican and democratic constituents.

giveemhellbernie.bsky.social•12 days ago

why? all she cares about is republican trump voters. Have you read anything she's put out there?

ladytacobellum.bsky.social•11 days ago

This one one win out of the many many many shitty decisions she’s made lol but I have to encourage the one single good thing she’s done 😂

giveemhellbernie.bsky.social•11 days ago

you must be an eternal optimist. bless you. good luck with that.

ladytacobellum.bsky.social•11 days ago

lol I don’t know about being an optimist, but I give credit where it’s due… even if it’s the bare minimum. Don’t worry, I give her a call once a week and I’m just waiting for her next town hall to share some not so nice thoughts lmao

pippioldstocking.bsky.social•12 days ago

"Woke: alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination."

If you think being "woke" is a problem, YOU ARE A RACIST.

So ... GET OUT, you white supremacist pig.

julieswhimsies.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yep. Woke=empathy.

pippioldstocking.bsky.social•12 days ago

Democrats are "weak" and "woke?" And the American people are too stupid to understand "oligarchy." Girl. GTFOH. You've just insulted millions of people with your GOP talking points BULLSHIT.

paddyanne.bsky.social•12 days ago

Senator Slotkin please do your due diligence on the road to power of the American Oligarchy.

It is essential knowledge for your position.

Your current public view discounting its entrenched clout is dishonorable and match the perspective of a corporate democrat desired as much as a Republican.

giveemhellbernie.bsky.social•12 days ago

OMG... she is a republican!

if it walks, talks, and quacks like a duck, it is indeed a duck.

tmm24.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of course Musk understands - cruelty and chaos are the point. Slotkin you have been a HUGE disappointment. You’re voting to enrich yourself, not for your constituents. None, zero, zilch of the cabinet votes should have been “yes”.

I’m sure that a genius from Holly, Michigan, like yourself, who deeply understands the definitions or woke and oligarchy could enlighten your ignorant constituents on your profound strategy to protect due process for immigrants in Michigan.

ellalopez.bsky.social•12 days ago

Let us know how the Laken Riley act protects us and how voting for Noem and Rubio is the best strategy for combating the current administrations policies towards immigrants. We just don’t understand.

readysteadykittens.bsky.social•12 days ago

Say whatever you want but your actions mean something different. You're just a fat, complicit whore.

Elon can't relate to the average hard working everyday Michiganders who survive paycheck to paycheck. Shame on him for his lack of understanding and insensitivity

zeenemywithin.bsky.social•12 days ago

Elon, "doesn't understand" actions "will hurt,"

I am pretty sure they are aware the damage they are doing to Social Security. Are you suggesting there is information they could learn that would change their perspective and choose another path?

It seems like the damage is intentional. Am I wrong?

Oh you are supporting social security? I would’ve thought you’d think that’s a weak and woke concept, and you’d want to throw it under the bus like you have for all other minorities who are too woke for you.

I don’t believe you actually believe in anything, you’re just a nakedly opportunistic parasite and you need to get out of the way.

ldog562.bsky.social•12 days ago

My social security office appointment is min 100 day's then 10 hours on line just to get in,& I don't know how long to actually see anyone. I haven't gotten that far yet, they used to have 37 workers now just 7.. & computers are still screwed up.. DMV is just as bad,,

coineanachtaibhse.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oo, a letter. You are so fucking bad at this it's just GOT to be on purpose. This is why we all think you're taking 30 pieces of silver from the magats. You fucking quisling.

Thanks to the work of Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet we’ve kept the Saginaw office open, despite threats of closure, but the work continues.

Have you figured out what "oligarchy" means yet.

You have one term. You haven't used it wisely. You're not the shining star the libs are building you up to be. You're just another shitlib centrist.

Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivert mistreated me grossly as a constuent when she was state senator. She refused to help with human trafficing and hack. She suicide swatted me instead of reporting my claims of human trafficking. She had 1.5 years to help but she chose to hurt. Will you protect her instead?

You need to get out of congress! Why would you tell people to stop taking about oligarchy because they don't understand?? Yes actually they do! Thanks to Bernie and AOC. You just got to congress and already you are on the wrong page!! Disgusting.

preludetoapiss.bsky.social•12 days ago

as a simple honest hardworking american i don’t understand the word “ponzi” - plz explain

breloomfanclub.bsky.social•12 days ago

Using woke, a term taken from the black community, and using it in a derogatory way is disgusting. You should be ashamed. Maybe try expanding your vocabulary next time you want to try appealing to republicans that will never vote for you.
