Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) delivered a clear and direct Democratic response to Trump's speech that talked about all of the issues that matter most to the American people.
Keith Olbermann on one of his recent podcasts said we need to put the "Clinton" War room back together and get ahead of the Putin traitor train curve with counter moves and quick thinking people. Drive the message and narrative. Stay on OUR taking points and quit the squirrel bait of magaland.
Olberman should stick to sports. Clinton pushing NAFTA and losing millions of union jobs in rust belt states was a major contributing factor in causing white workers to leave the democratic party and vote for Trump, twice.
Yes, it is extremely frustrating to have her as my senator. I make daily calls to her office, using the 5 Calls app, voicing my opinions and urging her to make the right choices.
Click the link. She lists right on her website. She's not hiding it. I'm only impressed by a handful of Democrats and Slotkin ain't one of them. I'll keep nitpicking until the politicians in this country remember that THEY are the servants.
Tell us how Dems are actually working to overturn the dictatorship. Besides a speech and walkout. The writing is on the wall. Democrats are not gonna save us. But you have publications who praised Democrats no matter what even though they’re failing us each and every day. Speech or no speech. Stand up and walk out or sit and comply. They fail us and continue to do so.
maybe it's time to stop focusing on party politics. There are good Rs out there, and definitely a lot of spineless Ds. But the point remains: MAGA is running our economy into the crapper, and we are the laughingstock of the free world.
Adam Kinzinger is a good R and many R voters are following him. I don’t believe Trump won a majority or a mandate—he’s a crackpot as at least some of his “base” has already recognized, and many others stayed home entirely. Whether Ds will recover as a united opposition party remains to be seen. Most important rn is to overturn Citizens United which has perverted the democratic process.
I am an outraged Canadian and can see you point somewhat. But, the Democrats are damned if they do and damned if they don't. The Media with the exception of MSNBC and now we really don't know about that, seem to want to indulge in all of the lies and theatrics that trump has to offer. I am DONE. We here in Canada are going to fight back and fight back hard on behalf of all Canadians and our American neighbours who really care and there a a lot. The tariffs, the rhetoric is enough. NOW WE MUST ACT AND ACT WE WILL. Yes, we will all hurt a little but the end game will be DEMOCRACY WINS. Let the Orange Menance and all those elected republicans who kiss the ring and bend the knee head off to their new homeland RUSSIA.
There is always HOPE Deb, and we are working here in Canada to try and make this all go away along with Democrats in your Country. Prayerfully, we will get all this chaos to be short term. Prayerfully again, let's continue to bring to the attention of all good people how trump and his ilk are taking away all that is good in America and get him out. We here have a wannabe and we are facing an uphill battle as well. Apathy is rampant. Hang in there Deb, it will get better God bless America and Canada and all the good people of the World.
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.
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).
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
100% Slotkin did a great job. So did Al green but there CAN be two heroes can't there?
Keith Olbermann on one of his recent podcasts said we need to put the "Clinton" War room back together and get ahead of the Putin traitor train curve with counter moves and quick thinking people. Drive the message and narrative. Stay on OUR taking points and quit the squirrel bait of magaland.
I love Keith and his outrage

Slotkin voted for Trump cabinet picks. She is not on our side.

I get Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted. 🙄 They're worthless and non-responsive.

Negative Nellie? What are Democrats doing right now to fight 47’s impending dictatorship? Serious question.
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

very, very weak.
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.
Mine too!
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

Poet laureate worthy!
Great words. Put them into action, now.
This woman voted to make Krist Noem head of Homeland Security
She can't be trusted
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
A good speaker with knowledgeable comments. Believable. Trustworthy
Let’s hope the Democrats have a plan, and a strong one.
The plan is to keep beating that drum and win next year, because in Congress they have very little power right now.---Jason
we (dems) have a couple of special races we might be able to win without waiting for 2026!!
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.
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!
I think the Democratic rebuttal was very well done
Well done Sen. Slotkin.
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!
