Put it all on the line or there is really no reason for you to be there right now. No unanimous consent. Hold the floor. Ask us to turn out to protest. We want to back you but you need to give us something to rally behind. Old tricks don’t work in 2025.

greymatterdet.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not enough. We need new leadership. Stop beating around the bush. Your refusal to deal with the severity of the moment is troubling.

That’s all they have if they’re across the board in the minority.

Seems like Cory Booker did more? I’m sick of anyone that allows normal business to proceed. These are not normal times. She needs to be sounding much more severe alarms. We are in crisis and there isn’t any time to pretend.

marydube.bsky.social•16 hours ago

That's not her schtick. She's more like Schumer. Trump will see that she's voted for 9 of his cabinet. She's willing to make magic math cuts to Medicaid (and what else) by rolling out the cuts so we will be fkd now and in the future. She's working for scraps from the red table. No fire in her belly.

gardenmonster.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is she already done?

greymatterdet.bsky.social•1 day ago

lmao that’s a loaded question

kjustin1966.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well said. I am concerned that she won't admit that the Trump admin is fascist. She acts as though she is the Michigan Maga whisperer. Disdains activists. Business as usual for ... what?

greymatterdet.bsky.social•1 day ago

So many people are afraid to admit to themselves that we are in the moment we are in. It’s definitely a coping mechanism.

It’s just more distressing when those people are the ones that are supposed to be our leaders.

n8turgrl72.bsky.social•1 day ago

She thinks Chuck Schumer is the man for the job and says so in this article. Gross https://apnews.com/article/michigan-senator-elissa-slotkin-more-than-activist-6f77a83979659a13821e772a0126612f

I love this argument, it implies that if Trump were eating babies instead of being horrified she’d try and convince him to only do it on Tuesdays. If he is destroying the country, yes your job should be opposing him .

It seems like she’s just using this as a stepping stone to her next job. Wasting our fucking money and time.

It is to the point that Hypocrite Slotkin is one of the last people I really want to listen to and I am a Dem.

Slotkin is Michigan's Sinema, and I don't see that as a compliment since Sinema was a whack job and total phony.

I'm afraid it's just talk. You have some CIA experience and know about subterfuge. I think Trump wants to burn down the economy, bring about riots and then declare martial law. Is that a fair concern? If so, will you ask your GOP colleagues when they plan to save us from that orange infection?

slappypantsgo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hell yes, Senator! Tell em we need Medicare for All or we will perish!

youvegotmail1234.bsky.social•1 day ago

We need lots more of this. Please share every time you are in committee or on the floor. We want to follow your work. I learned something - I’m not old or poor enough for this to impact me yet so it’s good for me to know about this issue. I’m so mad about this admin and following EVERYTHING else.

goldfincho.bsky.social•1 day ago

Senator Slotkin please explain why you would vote against
Sanders S J Res. 26 & 33? Supporting this Res. would tell Israel that you do not condone the killing of 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Your vote against this resolution causes me to now reject any support of you in the future. Be warned!

tommykbs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Will you answer this, Senator? Are you there or is Bluesy just another piece of window-dressing that a staff member has to use now and then?

I want to believe in you. Do you want us to believe in you?

Sorry Tommy, pretty sure you know the answer. Smoke, smoke and more smoke- with no fire. This is what we get for electing a shadow magat spook.

Trump has managed to show us just how broken Washington is.

marydube.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Slotkin and Peters think diplomacy is dead and there are too many buildings standing in Gaza and not enough expired men, women and children who will interfere with Trumps Riviera Gaza. These type folks are exactly why the party took a dump. They're not for the people by the people.

Will you or any of your staff be at any of the Michigan rallies on Saturday, April 5th?

poivrotfarci.bsky.social•1 day ago

Any manufacturing jobs brought back to the US will be non union, in the south, and pay minimum wages. Probably less than full time so that they don’t have to pay for healthcare.

You fetishizing work is part of the problem.

poivrotfarci.bsky.social•1 day ago

Heard you on NPR saying US needs to bring jobs back to US.

Unemployment rate is 4.1%.
Michigan doesn’t have paid family leave.

You’re fetishizing work. Forcing people to work 2 jobs or more to pay for childcare or healthcare & don’t fight for work/life benefits.

You have labor camp mentality.

doxy-cycling.bsky.social•1 day ago

We also desperately need an accurate accounting from the feds, states, and local health depts on precisely what’s been cut by program and staff numbers, what hat means for people. and also for the federal staffing cuts. We need this urgently and very publicly available.

nancyj83.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was excited for a minute (when you were first elected), thinking you were really going to stand for something. But I've yet to see you really stand up. Coming from an intelligence background, I expected you to be more outraged at what's happening.
I want Pete Buttigieg for Michigan.

michigan-girl.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope it’s Buttigieg that primaries her. She won’t stand a chance against him.

drmcdery.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sadly, Pete announced he’s not running.

maggiemae46.bsky.social•1 day ago

True but Mallory is running for Senate.

drmcdery.bsky.social•1 day ago

Which is great! She’ll get Peters spot. I’d love to see a strong challenger for Slotkin. She’s definitely not what I thought she’d be and not what we need - but better than Rogers.

michigan-girl.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I would never vote for a Republican but to say that she’s better than Rogers isn’t true right now. We would expect a Republican to toe the line, but for her to do it is even more dangerous because it’s normalizing what the Republicans(Nazis) are doing. It’s fucking gross.

michigan-girl.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Pete said he’s not running for Peters slot in 26, we don’t know his plans after that. Slotkin isn’t up for re-election until 30.

n8turgrl72.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did you see this article where she claims that MI is a purple state?! She’s obviously not fighting for US, just using this as a stepping stone to her next job. She fooled us. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/19/politics/slotkin-democrats-action-activist-aoc

You use the word, "unnecessary". What does that mean? Sounds like capitulation to me. No cuts. Period.

Withhold unanimous consent or sit down and shut up. Nobody needs more hot air, least of all from someone who's voted to confirm dozens of batshit crazy Trump appointees.

r-joseph.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fuck you & Ronald Reagan & your buddy Liz Cheney. It’s funny how you’re running your yap about healthcare when you don’t support universal healthcare. You badmouth your own party as you vote for fascists. Go join the republican party where you belong.

magier88.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hey, Slotkin, how about you ACTUALLY return a call or email to one of your constituents? My relentless calls to your office have gone unanswered. Again, I will point out to you that I (we) put you into this office. Starting to wonder if you are a wolf in sheep’s clothing???

n8turgrl72.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes! I call at least 2x a week. Never get an answer at any of her 4 phone lines/offices. Did you read this article? I’m disgusted by her attention and mention of her republikkkan constituents. I also read an article when she said “I live in a purple state” oh NO YOU DONT

stuffabouthockey.bsky.social•23 hours ago

You know what would actually encourage US manufacturing?

Universal healthcare. It's cheaper to manufacture in countries where employers don't need to pay employee healthcare.

Instead of tariffing supplies & materials US manufactures need.

ghostbunney.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'd still like to know why we pay for Israel's Universal Healthcare scheme instead of OUR healthcare. I'd also like to know why you keep voting like a magat. And why you refuse to acknowledge that we are living through a fascist coup. And why you think we won't notice/remember these things. Primary.

Call for a vote of no confidence on Schumer. Talk about how tariffs are a tax & hurt everyone. Call out everything! Why would we tune in to something that sounds so bland, considering EVERYTHING else that is happening. I don’t see the urgency & fight we need in your bland post. Be like Booker.

kjustin1966.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bland. passionless. Apparently not cognizant of the stink of fascism. These little talks are so uninspiring. And what is she accomplishing? Go on a healthcare tour ala Bernie! Generate some momentum. Stick your head out!

Your party could have let the American citizens know how we are being taken advantage of by big corporations with their corrupt greedy little hands. But instead, you’ve used it as a wedge issue to get the base riled up. Enough. And while you’re at it, get the GD money out of our politics too.
