It was milquetoast that didn’t come close to fighting the dangerous times we find ourselves in Congressman Al Green was the hero in the room.

It was an address for a national audience of moderates and Democrats, and people who regret their vote for Trump. It was perfect for that crowd.---Jason

How do you figure that when she didn’t even talk about the most horrendous disgusting things he’s done to the American people in six short weeks. What about the rest of us who are beside our self because we pay attention and they have no fight in them? For God sakes, Jefferies and Schumer couldn’t even address the American people the night. Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House.

AGREE. Green stood out. That's what we need more of. FIGHT. Not mealy mouth 'logic'. Another couple of dozen Dems should have gotten loud and kicked out to show we mean business, instead of maintaining our status as National Doormats.

Agree. Where is the call to action to usurp the tyrant and his backers?

You understand of course that there won't be any more elections in America. If they are held in 2026 and America is still standing as some sort of despotic democracy and America has not been made a vassal state of Russia or China then the elections are unlikely to be fair (refer Russian elections as an example).

I thought she came across strong. I was incredibly happy She wasn't in a kitchen.

Hahahaha! I remember Katie Britt sitting in her very expensive kitchen spouting incendiary lies about immigrants and lamenting that no woman is safe as long as they are allowed to capture, r*pe, and traffic innocent women.

Wow that's a pretty low bar

Slotkin gave a great rebuttal speech. Remember Little Marco’s when he choked on his water? The Dems should utilize her more. She’s concise and very relatable.

I thought that Senator Slotkin did an excellent job. From what I heard, Trump barely made any sense and he lied the entire time. I also heard that the Democrats booed him when he said he supported the police. Good for them!

Sadly doesn’t matter…his sycophants drank it up…like kool-aid

They are a lost cause.

That's my Senator!!!

My granddaughter lives in Michigan, so I am claiming Senator Slotkin as a senator. Why? I live in SC, and have two "senators" who kiss trump's ring.

J'Net's avatar

I thought she was great! 🤗

Making a speech and acting on that speech or two different things.

Senator Elissa Slotkin was absolutely incredible!! She had a challenging speech to give and she hit it out of the park!!!!

I AM THE ENEMY OF POWER

Slandered and abused

Beaten, bruised, but still fighting

For you - I am Truth

Not welcomed by all

To those who would do you harm

I’m the enemy

Behold my allies

Diverse views, skepticism

Inconvenient facts

My foes tell their flocks

“Others will lie to you. I’ll

tell you what to think!”

They’re threatened by me

Their power comes from closed minds

Anger, fear and hate

They will convince you

You didn’t see what you saw

Or hear what you heard

They will vilify

Shout-down, demean and malign

Those who speak for me

Trust your eyes and ears

Trust your power to reason

Trust I am there, but …

May be obscure. There’s

not always a smoking gun.

Sometimes, only smoke

But connect the dots

The proof is in the picture

Yes, that’s me you see

I’ve nothing to hide

I can stand your scrutiny

Because I am Truth

Great words. Put them into action, now.

This woman voted to make Krist Noem head of Homeland Security

She can't be trusted

Porter Rockwell's avatar

I agree. These are not normal times. Slotkin said her reason was that a president has a right to select the people in his cabinet. In normal times, this would be true. But today, Slotkin forgot the lesson of Chamberlain and Czechoslovakia. Slotkin is playing politics. The Republicans are waging war.

Got to remember only one can give a rebuild and they picked her out because she is low key but very relatable and on point

Tamie Swain 🌊✌🏻🖇️'s avatar

A good speaker with knowledgeable comments. Believable. Trustworthy

Nikki's avatar

Let’s hope the Democrats have a plan, and a strong one.

Sarah Jones & Jason Easley's avatar

The plan is to keep beating that drum and win next year, because in Congress they have very little power right now.---Jason

Democratic plan:

Rebuild the "Clinton" war room with good, honest, bright people to counter punch maga and throw fresh punches. Use a Democratic version of Lee Atwater: attack opponents "supposed strengths," push real polls because most American's back progressive ideas. Stay on topic(s), hammer them everyday make sure they fit on a bumper sticker; ex. When are EGG prices going down? Or, Tariffs = Tax! Or, Murderous dictators are NOT our friends. Rather then constantly asking for money via text, organize and deploy ACTIONS to get people involved.

Kat Hudy's avatar

I think she did a fantastic job. Very clear, factual and about all the things that most Americans care about. She pulled no punches. I agree, the Democrats need to use her a lot more. Common sense is such a welcome change from the chaos, bluster & lies from Trump. She packed a lot in for a rebuttal speech. So proud of her!

mer t's avatar

I think the Democratic rebuttal was very well done

Wendy Burton's avatar

Well done Sen. Slotkin.

Larry Bushard's avatar

If we have elections in 2026. Dump will find some reason, however flimsy, to declare a national emergency and suspend them. We must do everything in our power to win the 3 special elections and take back the House this month!

Great job Senator Elissa Slotkin! Don’t back down and spread your truth! Maybe the people who voted for the convicted felon will finally see through the lies this type of horrific person he is spewing! There’s a saying “If someone shows you their true colors believe them”! How can anyone trust that convicted felon and liar! He’s a disgrace to the American 🇺🇸 people and needs to be impeached and thrown in jail with Vance and Elon Musk!!!!
