On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) responded to a question on whether the Gaza aid pier constructed by the Biden administration has failed due to numerous setbacks combined with the small amount of aid that has come in by stating that “I don’t think people understand just how complicated this is.” And “it’s just more complicated than we would have liked.” Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “I want to get, first, to this story we’ve just been reporting, this U.S. pier off the coast of Gaza has suffered setback after setback and has only delivered a...

Representative Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that if former President Donald Trump was reelected, he would “hand the keys over” to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Slotkin said, “I think that it’s hard again to explain these big things, but, you know, best guess is that the Ukrainians could run out of ammunition in the spring. Our best guess is they will run out of capabilities to protect places like Kyiv from ballistic missiles probably by the summer. You should expect massive refugee flows, the grain deal that we have on the table to continue to get...

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich) and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich) blamed their lackluster performances in two separate debates this week on the debate moderators. During her debate with Whitmer, Republican challenger Tudor Dixon argued that “I am merely trying to call attention to the gap between the Governor’s 2018 pre-election promises and her performance in office. Rather than keeping the people safe from criminals she wants to disarm law-abiding gun owners. While rioting in America’s streets over the death of George Floyd was killing people and destroying property the Governor said she supported the ‘spirit’ of the defund the police movement.”...

Democratic Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin was secretly caught dressing down her own hand-picked moderator for not asking questions about abortion in an Oct. 6 debate, to the point that the local reporter was reduced to apologizing to the representative. Slotkin, who is running against Republican state Sen. Tom Barrett, cornered Tim Skubick of WLNS after their debate to remind him that she “chose” him to host the forum. A recording of the encounter, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, provides a window into the Democratic Party’s desire to frame the midterm elections as a referendum on abortion. One of the...

The anchor in charge of asking questions brought up the recent report that revealed Slotkin moved into a residence owned...

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she believes the Republican Party is "very sick" and may not be able to recover in the near future. The GOP "is continuing to drive itself in a ditch, and I think it’s going to take several cycles if it can be healed," Cheney said, according to The New York Times. "I would much rather serve with (Democratic Reps.) Mikie Sherrill and Chrissy Houlahan and Elissa Slotkin than (Republican Reps.) Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, even though on substance certainly I have big disagreements with the Democratic women I just mentioned," Cheney added, per...

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) heard pushback from some voters but loud applause from others at a Monday town hall after the centrist congresswoman announced her support for the articles of impeachment against President Trump. Some cheered for Slotkin as she took the stage at a town hall in Rochester, Mich., but others booed and interrupted the Democrat during her speech further detailing why she is supporting Trump’s impeachment.

VIDEO Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin of Michigan made her aide apologize for the parking in the wrong space.

Late in the evening of Sunday, January 18, an eleven-member delegation of tribal leaders from Iraq’s western Anbar Province arrived in Washington, D.C.

A nearby Iraqi military unit failed to respond to repeated calls for help. The brutal...
