And trust me, I want a #woman #President. I believe that we need a woman President. I have heard that I can't support #Slotkin because she will fail to the under 35s. Don't know enough about her yet either for real. Others: Spanberger, Klobuchar. Never Harris. She cannot win. No chance.

#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.

Well, I guess the Reaganite wing of the Dem Party isn't going to stop declaring the best way to beat the fascists is to buck up and become more like them anytime soon, so this is a whole thing now; collaborators never sleep.
Elissa Slotkin, who is basically what would happen if the DCU's Amanda Waller took a mid-career detour to successfully run for a US Senate seat in Michigan, has been furiously working in the lab on a "brand new" way to fight Trump and the fascist GOP. Can you guess what this ex-CIA murderbot brain genius came up with? If you guessed "sacrifice marginalized people to the fascists and become more like the nazis" you can get in line to claim your gold star.
Slotkin is testing a ‘war plan’ to beat Trump. She wants Dems to ditch wokeness and muscle up
"Elissa Slotkin, the former CIA analyst turned battleground senator, will on Thursday start road-testing what she calls a “war plan” to “contain and defeat Donald Trump.”
In the first of a series of speeches about the Democratic Party’s path out of the wilderness, the Michigan senator said she will span everything from strategy to tactics and tone, acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary."
As an astute observer replied to another post I made about Slotkin's plan: "anyone who says "wokeness" unironically is accepting the nazis' terms & conditions." The beauty of the fascist right's openly broadcast plan to redefine "woke" as a brand wholly separate from its traditional meaning in African American communities, is that now that "wokeness" has made its way into nazi propaganda, it means entirely different things to different demographics or groups of people. Needless to say however, a Democrat US Senator supposedly working in opposition to to the fascist Trump regime should not be talking about "ditching wokeness" at the precise time the ruling fascist party is defining caring about: constitutional rights, ICE kidnapping and attempting to deport political prisoners, and the right for trans people to exist, as "woke" - unless she *means* to imply the Democratic Party should shift rightward to mirror objectively fascist policies being enacted by that regime.
And hey, maybe that's what she does mean; Slotkin is after all a self-described Zionist who expressed support for Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza even as the ICJ was ruling they were conducting a plausible genocide of Palestinians there - so it's not like she's worried about getting a little blood on her hands. Slotkin also joined a festering cluster of Reaganite triangulators in the Democratic Party who'd like party members to stop using the word "oligarchy" because, and this is rich given the crowds folks like AOC and Bernie Sanders are attracting on their anti-oligarch speaking tour, Americans "don't know what it means."
https://www.commondreams.org/news/us-is-an-oligarchy
Slotkin Panned Online After Claiming That Voters Don't Know What 'Oligarchy' Means
"But even as evidence mounts that Americans understand that the political system has been captured by corporations and the wealthiest people—and are living their day-to-day lives with the results, including higher healthcare costs and disinvestment in public services—Slotkin told Politico on Thursday that Democrats should "stop using the term 'oligarchy,' a phrase she said doesn't resonate beyond coastal institutions."
So you got that kids? The way to beat fascism at the ballot box in elections that might literally be rigged for the nazis, is to stop fighting for the survival of marginalized people and never speak ill of the rich people that are turning your life into a dystopian sci-fi novel about emerging techno-fascism on a boiling planet.
The truth is however that there's nothing special about Slotkin, Newsom, and Emanuel; in my now forty-eight years on this Earth this is exactly how monied people in the Democratic Party have reacted to every political tremor in modern US history. When your purpose is to get paid for serving the needs of wealthy ruling class donors, your solution to every problem is always going to be shift rightward and protect rich people; they don't care at all that Trump is a fascist, just that their donor class maintains control of both major political parties in America. Which is probably why folks who think like them, have managed to lose not one but two separate elections to a reality TV show nazi oligarch whose catchphrase is literally "you're fired."
Like Newsome before her, Slotkin is peddling collaboration with a fascist as a realpolitik resistance; and she deserves the same response he got. Politely madam Senator? Go fuck yourself.

"But even as evidence mounts that Americans understand that the political system has been captured by corporations and the wealthiest people—and are living their day-to-day lives with the results, including higher healthcare costs and disinvestment in public services—Slotkin told Politico on Thursday that Democrats should "stop using the term 'oligarchy,' a phrase she said doesn't resonate beyond coastal institutions."
So you got that kids? The way to beat fascism at the ballot box in elections that might literally be rigged for the nazis, is to stop fighting for the survival of marginalized people and never speak ill of the rich people that are turning your life into a dystopian sci-fi novel about emerging techno-fascism on a boiling planet.
The truth is however that there's nothing special about Slotkin, Newsom, and Emanuel; in my now forty-eight years on this Earth this is exactly how monied people in the Democratic Party have reacted to every political tremor in modern US history. When your purpose is to get paid for serving the needs of wealthy ruling class donors, your solution to every problem is always going to be shift rightward and protect rich people; they don't care at all that Trump is a fascist, just that their donor class maintains control of both major political parties in America. Which is probably why folks who think like them, have managed to lose not one but two separate elections to a reality TV show nazi oligarch whose catchphrase is literally "you're fired."
Like Newsome before her, Slotkin is peddling collaboration with a fascist as a realpolitik resistance; and she deserves the same response he got. Politely madam Senator? Go fuck yourself.

Well, I guess the Reaganite wing of the Dem Party isn't going to stop declaring the best way to beat the fascists is to buck up and become more like them anytime soon, so this is a whole thing now; collaborators never sleep.
Elissa Slotkin, who is basically what would happen if the DCU's Amanda Waller took a mid-career detour to successfully run for a US Senate seat in Michigan, has been furiously working in the lab on a "brand new" way to fight Trump and the fascist GOP. Can you guess what this ex-CIA murderbot brain genius came up with? If you guessed "sacrifice marginalized people to the fascists and become more like the nazis" you can get in line to claim your gold star.
Slotkin is testing a ‘war plan’ to beat Trump. She wants Dems to ditch wokeness and muscle up
"Elissa Slotkin, the former CIA analyst turned battleground senator, will on Thursday start road-testing what she calls a “war plan” to “contain and defeat Donald Trump.”
In the first of a series of speeches about the Democratic Party’s path out of the wilderness, the Michigan senator said she will span everything from strategy to tactics and tone, acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary."
As an astute observer replied to another post I made about Slotkin's plan: "anyone who says "wokeness" unironically is accepting the nazis' terms & conditions." The beauty of the fascist right's openly broadcast plan to redefine "woke" as a brand wholly separate from its traditional meaning in African American communities, is that now that "wokeness" has made its way into nazi propaganda, it means entirely different things to different demographics or groups of people. Needless to say however, a Democrat US Senator supposedly working in opposition to to the fascist Trump regime should not be talking about "ditching wokeness" at the precise time the ruling fascist party is defining caring about: constitutional rights, ICE kidnapping and attempting to deport political prisoners, and the right for trans people to exist, as "woke" - unless she *means* to imply the Democratic Party should shift rightward to mirror objectively fascist policies being enacted by that regime.
And hey, maybe that's what she does mean; Slotkin is after all a self-described Zionist who expressed support for Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza even as the ICJ was ruling they were conducting a plausible genocide of Palestinians there - so it's not like she's worried about getting a little blood on her hands. Slotkin also joined a festering cluster of Reaganite triangulators in the Democratic Party who'd like party members to stop using the word "oligarchy" because, and this is rich given the crowds folks like AOC and Bernie Sanders are attracting on their anti-oligarch speaking tour, Americans "don't know what it means."
