Sorry, but Mayor Wu was a lot more detailed and clear about what Democrats are defending:
"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms," Wu later added. "Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."
Your speech was very well written for normal times. How loud do we need to scream so that you will hear us and work for us during this time? THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES. You absolutely FAILED to convey any sense of real urgency or alarm. We are facing down FASCISM. You’re capitulating, not fighting.
No!!! Get him and his 29 year olds out of our personal information. It is also a conflict of interest. Get some real auditors in there that aren’t biased and have something to gain from this process!
I heard the entire speech 🥱. Instead of glazing Bush and Reagan, Slotkin could have spoken for the party she claims to represent and touted the greatest president we've ever had:FDR. She also voted for 8 of Trump's cabinet picks and the Lincoln Riley Act. DINO
I don't know. I hated Reagan and maybe more now, but appealing to the "morning in America" crowd to peel them away from Trump has some value. We need margins and inches at first to gain strides and yards in the end.
We need to normalize these conversations. I used to work in policy. Medicaid. They've never received the very benefits they bestow onto us. We should choose the strategy and then make them believe it's their idea.
@slotkin.senate.gov They're crashing the country on purpose!
Senator, Elon Musk & Trump GOP hacked the election & are occupying our country for Russia. When you Democrats stop pretending it didn't happen, maybe you will do something. Doubtful, though.
An idea for you, Elissa. Here's how to squeeze Russian oil income, hit its war machine, and aid the US all at the same time. And it’s not complicated. The US / Canada could meet India’s oil needs, replacing Russia.

Loved the Senator’s recounting of an upbringing that included parents of differing political parties but shared values. Something we need to go back to - shared values.

Thank you Senator Slotkin…great job, honest civil composed, short and to the point! I did call banks for you, door to door and worked the polls and am thankful 😌 you won and represent Michiganders!

How dare you hold Reagan up as a beacon of light? Dems keep losing because you keep trying to court centrists. It’s embarrassing. Reagan supercharged the downfall of this country. Why are you acting like a traitor to your own party? Progressives are sick of this shit. None of you represent us.

Go fuck yourself you homophobic pig. Reagan enthusiastically supported AIDS out of hatred for queer folk; you fucking animals will never be forgiven for your inhumanity.

You're sack of s***. We need Bernie Sanders to replace Chuck Schumer. Something tells me you wouldn't support that because you're a hack. Jeffries needs to go. Replace him with Al Green.
If these were black people, DOGE and everyone in it, would all be arrested after Day One, and held for 3 years without being charged, just on a suspicion. You have the authority to arrest Elon Musk and all his DOGE associates then let them argue their way out of jail at a hearing...3 years from now.
I’m pissed off with inaction too- blame media (not sounding alarms). 🇺🇸abandoned all norms and🟠steamrolled Congress, law and constitution. Nonstop daily Jr varsity DOUCHE team offences, International crimes. Abandonment of morals ðics… ya. It’s a🤬emergency. One that ALL CAPS isn’t going to solve….
Gziz at this point, a pulse would be good. As for the decorum of officially recorded rebuttal, it was respected. When she is out in the street or in a sound bite from the halls of the hill, she can freak out. Not representing the entire Dem caucus.
I just got a mailer from ssa dot gov this morning.

Except her speech wasnt for the choir. It was for the low info Trump voters who are not hard core magats who may be regretting their votes, or the independents and republicans, who have so far refused the koolaid, that may be souring on Trump.

The department of education is next on the chopping block. Republicans have been trying to dismantle that department since the Carter administration established it
Your hero ronald reagan & his fascist regime were the first to actively attack education. Will you be reaching across the aisle to help
Talk big but vote in his nominees, pass his legislation. Stop half-assing this. Stop trying to thread the impossible needle of centrist middle-ground. You are either against this rush to fascism, or for it. The imaginary middle ground doesn’t exist, and trying to find it will lead to fascism.
She's a sack of s*** neocon. She praised Bush. We need Bernie Sanders to replace Schumer she wouldn't support that. Jeffrey's needs to go replace him with Al Green.

Invoking Reagan??? Jesus… do you guys even know who your voters are? Why don’t you just call Liz Cheney and ask her to do the response next time seeing as how you seem to be framing the democratics as the GOP-lite option. What a fucking disgrace of a party. DO *checks notes* ANYTHING!

Reagan? Really? No. He allowed people to die of AIDS. Then Nancy ran the WH with a private phone line to a medium, who helped her run the govt. That’s as bad as having Paula what’s-her-name there now.
Hitler won not bc of his popularity but bc he splintered the opposition and took over. Trump - who possess the same nihilistic and dictator qualities- won almost 50% of the vote. The opposition needs to come together some how or we may not have an 🇺🇸.
Why would the richest man in the world go after #SocialSecurity? Why does Elon give a flying fuck about it? Putin wants to destroy the USA. So it’s only right Putin ordered Elon to take that task. He had communicated with Putin the past 2 years! Obviously, he’s a #RussianAsset.
The five Democratic Senators who have voted with Trump most often so far are Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania; Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire; Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, both of Arizona; and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.

Reagan used to be the GOP god. Bringing him into the conversation is meant to remind the Republicans of how far they have strayed from their party beliefs.
Respectfully, I don't think today's GOP cares one single bit about Reagan. The old school GOP reps are either already gone or on their way out, and the new guard are a bunch of extremist bootlickers. Slotkin bemoaning the days of Reagan couldn't be more irrelevant, imho. *They don't care.*
MAGA definitely don't but older traditional conservatives do. Dems lost those votes this last election but trying to get them back for midterms
Trust me, I have strong issues with the way Dems are handling/not handling things.
Just saying you're the good guys don't make it so. Action speaks louder.
I guess my issue is Dems constantly trying to appeal to moderates has lost them more of their base than they stand to gain *maybe* luring disenchanted Republicans. My own adult 20-something children see the Dems as Republican lite.
I don't disagree with that. I see Jeffries as just a front for Pelosi pulling the strings and pushing the buttons and Schumer as well. Not strong leadership and generations too old. I'm a boomer and I see the need for younger more relevant leadership.

Great job, Senator! Your speech last night represented the real America -- the America of the last 250 years, the America we love and are proud to be part of -- rather than the authoritarian dystopia that Trump and Musk are trying to build. It was a ray of light in a very dark time. Thank you!

The point wasn’t that their 20y/o . The point is that they’re unqualified have no idea what they’re doing. They cry about this unknown bureaucracy, who are trained & qualified but these **** have no idea what tax return looks like, digging in our information and just gathering it.

They are using a machete when a scalpel is needed. Maggots have never wanted to really cut programs unless they benefit their patrons. Corporations good, SNAP bad.
the need to talk about musk everyday democrats r failing u don’t work w a racist fascist. u fight them. dems r terrible. i’m done w party @kenmartin.bsky.social weak pathetic
This is 100% the biggest stupidest issue! Musk’s promise to eliminate 2 trillion in federal spending. It would require taking an act to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other parts of the social safety net. This is where Trump and Musk is gonna get (steal) their money. Waste - NO it’s Not!!
Don't forget the reps, like @gluesenkampperez.house.gov who voted for the SAVE Act last year and has refused to hold a townhall this year to answer why.
