Senator Elissa Slotkin: Grocery and home prices are going up, not down. Trump hasn't laid out a credible plan to deal with either of those. His tariffs will start a trade war that will hurt manufacturing and farmers

Why do we keep treating this like a regular administration? This man’s goal is the utter subjugation of the masses. He wants everyone to be poor so we have no choice but to rely on him and other oligarchs to simply exist.
Please for the love of god, get someone more brutal, more aggressive. Stop sane-washing Trump's radical border, anti-LGBTQ, and other rhetorics, WE DON'T CARE, Your BASE doesn't CARE. We care about Medicaid, we care about the people whose jobs were slashed, the vets.
Only thing she could have said more strongly is the Intention is to break the backs of US citizens - the cruelty is the intention. The goal is to eliminate the middle class
Senator Slotkin needs to press battery charges against the colleague who ripped her property from her hand on national television. Either law matters or it doesn’t. Arrest that man.
Elissa Slotkin is a former CIA agent who was endorsed by Liz Cheney and worked in the Bush White House. She responded to Trump’s joint address by praising Ronald Reagan. This is who Democrats choice to represent their party. They do not oppose Republicans. They are Republicans.
Correct tone and word choice for the audience >> with this clip, Senator Slotkin is speaking to FFFOTUS voters (not MAGA) who want social security to continue, want veterans to be employed, want air planes to not crash. She sounds rational and reasonable to THEM (pre-empting the libtard label, etc.)
should have had Jasmine Crockett do this and not a milk-toast Midwesterner. Need to stop playing nice and all she is talking about is moving to the right! We don't need or want this.
We can. The DNC doesn’t want to because any messaging beyond the anemic protests we see today would require criticism of the billionaire capital class that they really serve. The DNC suckles at the same billionaire teat as the GOP does. The only difference is the GOP gets real benefit from it.
Was she talking to the librarians of the country? AOC or Bernie should have delivered the official response. They would have met the moment with the energy necessary. Stop trying to cozy up to bullies there is only one way to deal with them.
Y’all need to have @repjasmine.bsky.social do a plain to the people response. Not subdued, boring, responses. FFS, put Jasmine in the Spotlight!
@raskin.house.gov can you wake up the tired old Dems - We need a fighter like Jasmine!
Bad choice imo. Equatable to the little signs MOCs were waving. Clearly NOT the force and fervor necessary for the destruction we are all living through.
Thank goodness for @algreen.house.gov!
Who is making these horrible democratic decisions?
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?
@schumer.senate.gov?
The first 50 days of Trump's regimes is all about cutting massive programs that benefit the working class in order to fund a HUGE $4.6 Trillion tax cut for the rich.
This is NOT helping the working class. It's making it much worse! His cabinet is FULL of millionaires/billionaires/lobbyists.
In 2025, Slotkin was one of only 12 Senate Democrats who joined all Republicans to vote for the Laken Riley Act. Slotkin also voted for 8 of Trump’s cabinet nominees!!!
Farmers don’t care. An Iowa farmer interviewed before elections said his tariffs with China hurt him during the 1st term but he was still going to give the Asshat another chance.
If @senatedemocrats.bsky.social, @housedemocrats.bsky.social, and @kenmartin.bsky.social can't figure out a decent messaging strategy, the should hire an ad agency to define the party brand and messaging.
