PLEASE vote NO on Cloture and NO on the CR Bill today!

areve3.bsky.social•15 days ago

Thank you for your honesty! We appreciate you standing for us! This is not about Republicans or Democrats it is about the people. This Administration and Elected Officials that are supporting it don’t care about veterans, kids, teachers, underprivileged social security, Medicare or Medicaid.

mushqoom.bsky.social•16 days ago

hey girl, loved meeting you and voting for you, but i’m still so curious as to why you voted to ban pride flags in federal buildings! what’s up w that, elissa?

meg-bsky.bsky.social•16 days ago

Absolutely 💯

sillythecat.bsky.social•16 days ago

The quiet part is that Slotkin is a disgusting hypocrite.

She makes these posts about what a threat Trump is yet she continues to approve Trump's nominees as though everything is normal? WTF Slotkin? You are fucking insulting the citizens of Michigan with you fucking little games.

Let's go after them.

indybiomonitor.bsky.social•15 days ago

We are begging you to fight for our democracy. Please vote NO on the budget bill and on every attempt to tear this country apart.

sallyann216.bsky.social•16 days ago

I hope this means you will stand firm on the budget bill - even if the Republicans will shut down the govt. As Ezra Levin says “if the GOP wants Dem votes, negotiate for them.” Save Health care,Social Security,NIH, Education, USAID, NOAA.

bflig.bsky.social•16 days ago

You voted to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer though?

pukeonelon.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wake up the country is on fire

tusfan.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please hold the line & vote No on Cloture and let the GOP own the shutdown, the budget "cuts" are heinous and fly in the face of our country's long standing agencies & programs, this would be a disastrous CR. We cannot let whole agencies be shuttered and allow for Bessent's vision of privatization.

tommykbs.bsky.social•15 days ago

How many people who need to hear new information were listening to "The View?" Dems need a record, which you started here. "This bill will do this harm to these people. We want to do this instead." Then the followup after the bill: "The GOP hurt you. This is how. We still want to help."

myrrhkuri5.bsky.social•14 days ago

We need to make sure NO dems vote yes to gop bill, and vote for cloture either...trump and musk are illegally tearing apart depts and jeopardizing Americans, health, food, social security, protection agencies for consumers..VOTE NO

lallberry.bsky.social•16 days ago

I guess your running total of voting YES for drump’s nominees is now up to a whopping NINE! JFC! WTF is wrong with you?

donellgmab.bsky.social•16 days ago

Keep fighting to stop his illegal actions!

Vote NO on the Trump/Musk CR

mirosebud.bsky.social•16 days ago

As one of your constituents, I’m asking you to vote NO on the Senate budget bill. While you’re at it, please talk to your colleagues about replacing Schumer. Now is the time for strong opposition of the GOP, not appeasement.

markvdhmusic.bsky.social•16 days ago

And there is Zero Evidence of fraud. Say that every hour.

agewell.bsky.social•15 days ago

You're right! And about 1.5 million in your state who or 65+ or at the age of planning for their retirement years and who count on social security as a primary source of income expect you to vote NO.

ronfuller.bsky.social•15 days ago

Vote NO!

mebao.bsky.social•15 days ago

Since you care deeply about Medicare and SS, can we count on you to vote NO to the upcoming budget? A shutdown government is better than enabling a dictature and all those cuts!

chrishayslett.bsky.social•15 days ago

As my representative in the Senate I expect you to vote NO on cloture and NO on the spending bill.

From @jesscraven101.bsky.social The below Dem Senators r wavering or leaning towards supporting the CR. Highlighted r the ones who are NOT up for re-election next year, so for sure have zero excuse! If you are represented by one of these Senators please call them NOW. The vote is coming very soon.

cleo-thecat.bsky.social•15 days ago

You could highlite peters, he's not running again.

jkimmel.bsky.social•15 days ago

The Dems hold very few cards. Trump/Musk have already violated sep of powers w/regard to spending. SS and Medicare will be gutted via cuts NOT voted on by Congress. USE YOUR POWER. Vote NO on the GOP budget CR.

cleo-thecat.bsky.social•15 days ago

I was so happy when you were elected. Do not disappoint, hold the line, vote no!

k9crush.bsky.social•15 days ago

Then why are all the politicians in Washington doing absolutely nothing about this? Sitting back and voting for all things Republican is wrong for Americans.

mtzx68.bsky.social•5 hours ago

How is Elon qualified to manage “ government efficiency”? He’s just another entitled racist who paid for his privilege. There is no integrity, no justification. They seized power, corruptly.

fultonatron.bsky.social•16 days ago

Fight the power, Elissa!!

Plan on joining your town hall with Tom Cotton(R) at 6:30 pm. Not exactly sure what to do but dial your number but going to try!

How many Social Security offices are being shut down in the US?

rachelpooley.bsky.social•15 days ago

Keep fighting for Social Security and Medicare!

nattysky.bsky.social•15 days ago

I voted for you. You MUST VOTE NO ON CLOTURE AND CR! Your constituents demand it. I heard your staff is not picking up the phone so posting this here.

demeralda.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please vote NO on cloture and NO on the bill.

joseph-arrieta.bsky.social•16 days ago

Thank you, I was afraid my frantic worry for Social Security was just confined to the aqua heavens of BlueSky.

formermoderatedem.bsky.social•15 days ago

Vote no on the CR.

triletter.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please vote no on cloture for the CR. Anything other than no is tacit agreement with Elon and others about SS. Don’t be a part of a deal that gives a round of performative amendments that won’t pass and allow the CR. Stand strong for what is right not political games.

magier88.bsky.social•15 days ago

Senator Slotkin! Listen up! I am a constituent of yours from Michigan and unless you want voted out, you had better start making decisions to protect us or we will vote you OUT! None of us voted for Elon and he shouldn’t have his nose in our business!!!!!

rainbowbright7.bsky.social•16 days ago

Please do not vote Yes on the sham CR that the House just passed. Hold their feet to the fire! They would do it in a heartbeat if the tables were reversed!

hollyrider.bsky.social•16 days ago

I am a Michigander and am reliant on SSDI since my metastatic breast cancer forced me to stop working at the age of 51. Please keep fighting hard to preserve Social Security payments, as well as Medicaid & Medicare; it is life-preserving support.

I read your X followed you here but still ALL Incompetent ppl have been confirmed. Canada 🇨🇦 has a better plan on blocking 🚫 them while we are sitting watching them take US down. We saw the international response after German elections
Still waiting?

dstothers.bsky.social•16 days ago

Then how about instead of enabling them, you push back?

Instead of just saying words, actually do something?

Why are you putting through nominations that will hurt America? What's wrong with you?

You're not even the one posting here, so use some of your free time to be our Senator. For once?

lesli1217.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please vote NO on cloture and the spending bill.

beachkites.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please please please. VOTE NO on the republican spending bill. Democrats need to use their leverage and hold the line for a government funding deal that includes ironclad protections to stop Trump and Musk from hijacking federal spending and gutting Social Security.

landesskc.bsky.social•14 days ago

I have worked since I was 15. They are not entitlements!

moxs5.bsky.social•15 days ago

I will not vote for you again if you vote yes. We Michiganders are paying attention.

viciousvirago.bsky.social•15 days ago

@slotkin.senate.gov
As a lifelong MI resident in Macomb County, please vote NO on the CR. We voted for you to hold the line. Please don't let us down. The world has become scary enough, but it feels like the democrats are turning from their base. The last thing we need to see is you fold.

rebeccaforever44.bsky.social•15 days ago

Michigander here. Please vote NO on the CR. We are counting on you NOT to give the felon more power. He's done enough. Stop it.

carriemcg.bsky.social•16 days ago

You have a much needed voice in this fight, and are in a position to do something about the issues our country are facing. We are behind you 100%.

justgimmesometruth.bsky.social•16 days ago

You can’t shame the shameless. Focus on flipping Reps by any means to impeach Dictator Trump before he puts you in jail or May1st.

prismascuro.bsky.social•16 days ago

You have entered the 2028 VP race.

lisalove420.bsky.social•16 days ago

😂😂😂 Not a chance.
She voted for several of Trump's piss-poor cabinet picks.
Doing even the smallest thing for this regime is an automatic "NO AWAY WILL SHE EVER GET MY VOTE."

prismascuro.bsky.social•16 days ago

In other words, you want a labor secretary who has been friendly to labor to be rejected, and be replaced by someone extreme right who they who will put up next.
Got it.

river-gypsy.bsky.social•16 days ago

Sick to the gills with Trump's storytelling lies. Haitians eat people's pets, Columbia University PhD students who are Palestinian are Hamas supporters, Mice are being turned into the opposite sex against their will...please make it stop.

robrush.bsky.social•15 days ago

Democrats need to provide a small infrastructure around you with graphics, data points, talking points and allow you to create 2-3 minute videos that highlight what trump/maga is doing in real time. Spread them across TikTok, X, FB, Instagram. Update these videos 2-3 times a week.

robrush.bsky.social•15 days ago

Don’t let maga set the tone, pace or message. Give them a familiar nice face. No drama. Just implications of their actions.

robrush.bsky.social•15 days ago

“Republican votes have chosen this administration to do x,y,z”. See how quickly voters distance themselves and look for a new home.

kelseydoingherbest.bsky.social•16 days ago

Please vote no on the CR. Take a stand. Forget about decorum. We need you to fight now, not calculate for your future political career.
