Wunderbar wie Senator #Slotkin den Typ mit der Margarine im Haar faltet. Sie nimmt den Vogel 15min lang vollständig auseinander und er stottert wie nen kleiner Schuljunge - ein Genuss in diesen Tagen...

#Spanberger, 46, is the second #CIA veteran in 2 years chosen to deliver the #Democratic Party’s formal response to Trump. Last year, it was Senator #ElissaSlotkin of #Michigan, a fellow #moderate who also first entered #Congress in 2018 & had also just won a statewide election. While #Slotkin warned last year that #Trump would increase the #CostOfLiving, Spanberger made a broader case that his admin was working against the #WellBeing of the American #people.

A grand jury in Washington
refused Tuesday to indict Democratic lawmakers
in connection with a video in which they urged U.S. military members to resist “illegal orders,”
according to a person familiar with the matter.The Justice Department opened an investigation into the video
featuring Democratic Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four other Democratic lawmakers
urging U.S. service members to follow established military protocols
and reject orders they believe to be unlawful.
All the lawmakers previously served in the military or at intelligence agencies.Grand jurors in Washington declined to sign off on charges
in the latest of a series of rebukes of prosecutors by citizens in the nation’s capital,
according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether prosecutors had sought indictments against all six lawmakers
or what charge or charges prosecutors attempted to bring.The FBI in November began contacting the lawmakers to schedule interviews,
outreach that came against the backdrop of broader Justice Department efforts to punish political opponents of the president.Trump and his aides labeled the lawmakers’ video as “seditious”
— and Trump said on his social media account that the offense was
“punishable by death.”Besides #Slotkin and #Kelly,
the other Democrats who appeared in the video include
Reps. Jason #Crow of Colorado,
Chrissy #Houlahan of Pennsylvania,
Maggie #Goodlander of New Hampshire
and Chris #Deluzio of Pennsylvania.https://apnews.com/article/trump-military-orders-democrats-video-e1435655587ad9715c4d1cc776edd545

Donald Trump is borrowing a strategy from authoritarian regimes to #intimidate potential critics and #discourage them from speaking out, according to a senator under investigation by his administration.
#Elissa #Slotkin, a Democrat from Michigan, faces questioning after she organised and appeared in a #video with other Democrats imploring military service members to #refuse “#illegal #orders”.
Fellow senator #Mark #Kelly and three Democrats from the House of Representatives are also being investigated.
To Slotkin, a former analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency ( #CIA ), it is a deliberate effort to chill free speech that rhymes with her experience of #dictatorships around the world.
“They’re now using a well-worn playbook that employs #physical intimidation and #legal intimidation to get,
A, you to shut up, and
B, for other people thinking of criticising the president on such issues to be dissuaded from doing so,”
she told the Guardian in a phone interview.“It’s absolutely a strategy well used in other countries and other authoritarian governments.
As a CIA officer I’ve served in places like this,
I’ve studied places like this my entire life,
and Trump is sadly using that #playbook in the United States right now.”Now 49, Slotkin completed three tours in Iraq with the US military before moving into national security roles at the Pentagon and White House under presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama.
In 2018 she turned to electoral politics, winning a long-held Republican seat in #Michigan and helping Democrats reclaim control of the House.
She secured re-election in 2020 and 2022, campaigning on issues such as access to affordable healthcare and efforts to bring manufacturing back to her home state.
Her ascent continued in 2024 when she won an open Senate seat despite Trump carrying Michigan in the presidential election.
Last year she delivered the Democrats’ rebuttal to Trump’s joint congressional address.
Then in November she was among six congressional Democrats,
all with military or intelligence backgrounds,
who in a 90-second video cited the "Uniform Code of Military Justice"
and said no one has to carry out orders that violate the law or constitution.#Trump branded the video message “treasonous” and amplified a social media post suggesting that the six Democrats be #hanged.
Defence secretary Pete #Hegseth is attempting to #retroactively #demote Kelly,
a former navy pilot and astronaut,
from his retired rank of captain.👏The Arizona senator is suing Hegseth to block those proceedings,
calling them an unconstitutional act of retribution.Meanwhile US attorney #Jeanine #Pirro, the justice department’s chief prosecutor in Washington, has requested an interview with Slotkin.

The Democrats are still on their bullshit.
In an interview on Tuesday, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D) touted her supposed opposition to Israel’s humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza — but dodged questions on whether or not she would support withholding weapons from Israel, and deflected blame onto pro-Palestine protesters in the U.S. for Israel’s starvation campaign.

I don't like Pelosi either, but the Senator from Michigan is over the line here.

This approach sets #ElissaSlotkin apart from many of her fellow #Democrats, though the difference is better measured by degree than kind. [The ex-#CIA officer] #Slotkin is quite familiar—as a #woman, as a #Jew, as the daughter of a woman who came out late in life as a #lesbian—with the plight of certain constituencies within her party’s coalition. It’s simply a matter of emphasis: Slotkin sees electoral success as the path to addressing America’s injustices, not the other way around.

#Slotkin argues that the surest way to heal the country—to defuse identitarian struggles, pacify the culture wars, uncoil our hypertense politics—is by restoring the confidence of working families. When people feel assured of their #financial welfare & of their #children’s future, she insists, they become far less receptive to the type of strongman demagoguery that thrives on scapegoats & feasts on anxiety.

…Wyandotte is the kind of place—working class, culturally conservative, racially homogenous—that has turned new shades of red in the #Trump era. And yet, this past November, both Trump & #Slotkin won here: Each of the candidates carried seven of the city’s 10 precincts, a rare example of ticket splitting in one of the nation’s premier battleground states.

#ElissaSlotkin’s Democratic response to #Trump’s address may go down as the first time the rebuttal was far-far superior to the actual speech. Just saying.
#Slotkin opens by saying that “America wants change” but that there is a “responsible way” & a “reckless” way, framing Trump’s approach as chaotic.
Slotkin is not just going after Trump but also #ElonMusk. She specifically cites his recent quote that #SocialSecurity is the “biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.”

Awesome
#Democrats tap #Michigan's #ElissaSlotkin to give rebuttal to #Trump's State of the Union address
…[#Senate] freshman [but longtime #House of Representatives member & rockstar prior to serving in the Senate] US Sen #Slotkin will deliver the Democratic response to Trump's #SOTU address next week — propelling the state's junior senator into the national spotlight after she's spent just 2 months in the Senate.

Democrats got a little bit of good news today when media outlets projected two women will win U.S. Senate seats in Michigan and Wisconsin. Interestingly, both states went for Donald Trump, so a significant portion of voters cast split tickets.

And the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports on Sen. Tammy Baldwin: https://flip.it/l9LBRn
