Senate Democrats are launching a coordinated effort to kill the Trump administration's $1.7+ billion "anti-weaponization fund." Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan is among those leading the Drain the Slush Fund Act.

Senators Adam Schiff of California, Mark Kelly of Arizona, and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan introduced the “Drain the Fund Act,” which they said would block taxpayer dollars from being funneled to Trump and his allies. trib.al/AdXxdhy

From his ballroom to his son's cryptocurrency, to insider trading and selling pardons to the highest bidder -- Trump has used the govt as a piggybank. This so-called $1.7 billion anti-weaponization fund is an unprecedented misuse of taxpayer money, and it must be stopped. Our bill does just that.

Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare or paying more for their healthcare. All because President Trump needed to pay for a tax bill that overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy.

There should be a federal investigation into the hundreds of millions of dollars in well-timed bets in the oil futures market. We need transparency and accountability.

There’s nothing like going to a baseball game on a nice, spring night in Michigan, cheering on the Traverse City Pit Spitters. Also got to present a challenge coin to Spitters General Manager Jacqueline Holms and the Traverse City Coast Guard Commander Ryan Hawn. Let’s go, Spitters!

Huge congrats to Grand Valley State University for winning the NCAA Division II Men's Track and Field National Championship! You earned it. gliac.org/news/2026/5/...

The view from Mackinac Island never disappoints.

With new threats on the rise, the fighter mission at Selfridge plays a vital role in defending the entire country. A lot of good bipartisan work got us here, and this will have a generational impact for Michigan, our national defense and Macomb County’s economy.

You never know who you’ll run into on the Mackinac ferry!

We need a full federal investigation into the series of very well-timed bets in the oil futures market. @warnock.senate.gov and I are pushing for transparency and accountability. www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

People need someone to fight on behalf of their pocketbooks. Was glad to join Roop Raj from FOX 2 Detroit to talk about the war in Iran, gas prices and working together to lower costs.

Pure Michigan.

There are lots of good ideas out there on housing, but the reality is, we need to build more housing to lower people's costs. Let's declare a National Housing Emergency and build 4 million homes.

The Trump Administration is rolling back standards to allow more PFAS particles in our drinking water. This is a setback, but we can’t stop fighting for the federal government to restore a scientific standard for drinking water.

We need to build 4 million homes nationally and surge supply to address the housing crisis in Michigan and across the country. Watch our panel at the Mackinac Policy Conference.

Scenes from Mackinac Island.

Last year, I met the head of Fort Mackinac at the Pink Pony, and he insisted that at some point, I must shoot the cannon at the top of the park. Well, this year, as part of America’s 250th, I got to check this off my bucket list!

It’s clear that both the policy decisions like sending troops to our cities and Secretary Hegseth's purge of generals have been demoralizing to our service members.

No more delays on PFAS clean up! Michiganders need action now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sma...

Memorial Day reminds us that democracy and security aren’t guaranteed, but made possible by ordinary Americans who answered the call to serve and defend.

There’s many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who still care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. We are in a tough moment right now, but there is a future after President Trump.

Only in Monroe! Thank you Stephen Colbert and Jack White for returning to Monroe, MI for a great Michigan conversation!

The U.S.-Canada relationship is still critically important, especially to Michigan. Despite the recent tension in that relationship, I strongly believe our two nations must work together to address the big problems we face.

There are many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. Our lives, economies, and security are intertwined. That's why I thought it was so important to travel to Toronto to meet with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney.

In this week's Intel Briefing, we go deep on 3 topics: 1️⃣ What was decided at the China summit 2️⃣ Weakened drinking water standards around forever chemicals 3️⃣ Potential taxpayer funding for the ballroom and a DOJ anti-weaponization fund youtu.be/u82i-301Hds

Some of the residents in Oscoda, MI, can't drink their water or swim in their lake due to PFAS. And  they've been told to wait another five-years, after twenty years of waiting on the Air Force for proper cleanup. We owe it to them to step up. youtube.com/shorts/phCRC...

Despite this setback in the fight against forever chemicals like PFAS, this isn’t over. Michigan will keep fighting for safe, clean water.

While we are still learning the full results of President Trump's summit with President Xi, this is a clear step backward and a full 180 from his first term. American farmland should be for American farmers -- not for the Chinese Communist Party.

PFAS, or forever chemicals, poison our water, our soil, and our bodies and they don't go away. The EPA set limits to keep us safe, and now this Administration wants to throw that out the window.

We’ve got so much churn in our country right now. So what is President Trump focusing on this week? Asking taxpayers for $1 billion to build his ballroom (which he previously claimed would be privately funded),

Every American deserves to feel safe in their house of worship. This attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego was an act of hate and Islamophobia, and our hearts go out to the families of those impacted. Every faith has the right to worship in peace and feel free from fear.

It’s summer and the cost of a grill has doubled in just a few years. I break down why.

Let this sink in.

Every single day, there’s a story about people like Kash Patel in the Trump administration using taxpayer resources for their own benefit. All of these people should be held accountable.

Michigan is a specialty crop state, and the skyrocketing fertilizer costs due to the war with Iran is only making life harder for our farmers.

This Islamophobic attack on a candidate for office in Michigan is meant to intimidate, and it should be condemned by all. I am glad nobody was hurt, and I hope the perpetrator faces full accountability.

Michigan lawmakers are urging President Trump against bringing Chinese EVs into the U.S., saying that domestic automakers can't compete. Sen. Elissa Slotkin tells WDET's Alex McLenon that she has another concern: that the data EVs capture will prove a security risk. wdet.org/2026/05/13/m...

In this week's Intel Briefing, we break down three important things: 1️⃣ The spike in inflation, and need for an independent Federal Reserve Chair 2️⃣ President Trump's Summit in China 3️⃣ The apparent insider trading in oil markets youtu.be/-Az2yfBzJJ4

The American people are losing while people around President Trump are enriching themselves. I believe the corruption and double-dealing we are learning of now is only the tip of the iceberg.

Encouraged to see a bipartisan year-round E15 bill pass the House. Now it's time for the Senate to do the same, because year-round E15 means lower prices at the pump and supports Michigan's agricultural producers. Let's get it done!

We have potash in Michigan – a critical component of the fertilizer our farmers rely on. Now we need to get it out into our supply chains, create jobs and help our farmers.

The Supreme Court's recent decision on the Voting Rights Act is supercharging President Trump's effort to redraw districts and try to create a permanent Republican majority. We must ban partisan gerrymandering and restore the Voting Rights Act.

We did not have a plan when we started this war with Iran. Now, even if the Strait of Hormuz opened up tomorrow, it could still be months or years before prices come down on critical things like fertilizer or oil.

I have real concerns about the President’s summit with China, including the issue of Taiwan. The White House can’t be so desperate for a deal that they give away the farm.

Seven Michigan cities and towns across three days. Nothing I like more in this job than being in Michigan and taking what I learn back to the Senate.

The President continues to tell us that he is ready and willing to send in the active duty military or ICE to polling locations this fall. We need to believe him and prepare accordingly.

The Chinese Communist Party has a strategy. They steal tech, reverse engineer it, build it at scale, and then they heavily subsidize it so it undercuts the market. That's why when it comes to our U.S. auto industry, our auto workers, I'm not gonna go down without a fight.

To all the talented young Michiganders we nominated for military academies last week: We believe in your potential, we’re proud of you as leaders, and we thank you for never giving up the ship.

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible moms and stepmoms out there. My mom passed away in 2011 from ovarian cancer; my step-mom has been a parent to me since I was 12.
