President Trump has taken the presidential pardon to a completely new place. He has developed a bit of a marketplace for convicted felons to get a presidential pardon. We should ban the presidential pardon. It should not be available to any president under any circumstances.

No family should have to fight both a cancer diagnosis and their insurance company at the same time. Women—especially in rural communities like Michigan—should be able to get the genetic testing and specialty care they need to catch this disease early or prevent it altogether.

President Trump’s sloppy tariffs have cost us not once, but twice. And while some big companies got refunds, you still had to pay more. Let’s take a look at how these sloppy tariffs made you pay.

The Postmaster General is being used as part of a much bigger story by President Trump, where the President does not believe the elections he loses are valid. The Postmaster General should not be a pawn in President Trump's authoritarian playbook. Read more: apnews.com/article/trum...

One of the biggest winners from President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" were the largest tech and AI corporations, who are already worth billions of dollars. It's why I joined @warren.senate.gov to demand a full accounting of how they've taken advantage of those tax loopholes and deductions.

One year ago, a man drove his car into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, set fire to it, and started shooting. People were shielding children. Four people were killed and several were injured.

Right now, we have what we call elevator courage. My Republican colleagues will tell us privately in the elevator from the basement to the second floor what they really believe, and then come out on the floor and support the President and vote the right way.

In just a few short years, Michigan has gone from farmers dumping milk because we didn’t have enough processing facilities, to having one of the biggest facilities in the country. And our cows produce more milk per cow than anywhere in the country! That’s huge!

There is a growing body of evidence that Chinese companies are helping Iran target and kill American troops, keep Iran's drone and missile programs alive and sustain Iran's economy. There needs to be accountability. Read more: www.wsj.com/politics/chi...

Chinese cars are driving spy machines, and the video, lidar and geolocation data they collect all goes back to Beijing. Our bill stops these cars from entering the United States and protects our national security.

Taking a chainsaw instead of a scalpel to the Department of Education made no sense. Now we need to focus on a vision of rebuilding it that works for teachers and students. That includes young educators in Houghton and Ironwood.

The president himself said he’s open to Chinese companies coming in, setting up shop, making Chinese cars here. And I just wanna say, as Michigan’s senator, that is the beginning of the end of the American auto industry.

President Trump has a habit of rolling out the red carpet for our adversaries, while punching our allies in the mouth. He made the decision that it is okay to sell our most sophisticated chips to China.

Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Xi while risking America’s technological edge. One thing this president could do tomorrow is restrict our high-end chips from going to China— and not hand over the competitive advantage he claims to care about @slotkin.senate.gov

If President Trump is going to talk about the rivalry with China, he can’t in the same breath hand them our most sophisticated chips.

There are reports that Chinese companies are providing information to Iran to target American service members and facilities. President Trump has a responsibility, as commander-in-chief, to raise this issue with China and establish clear red lines.

Ahead of this week’s meeting with China, President Trump has said he will consider allowing Chinese automakers to set up shop and build cars in the U.S. If that happens, it is the beginning of the end for U.S. auto manufacturing. That is not going to happen on my watch as a Michigan senator.

Chinese companies are fueling Iran’s war machine by buying oil, providing targeting information, and selling weapons and components to the Iranian government. We now know that some of that targeting information may have led to the death of three U.S. soldiers.

President Trump is meeting with the Chinese President this week in Washington, and he is rolling out the red carpet. A big expected topic: Chinese vehicles. I break down why that matters and why we cannot allow Chinese vehicles in the United States.

Chinese entities aided Iran in attacks on U.S. servicemembers resulting in three deaths and wounding four others. This cannot be tolerated.

Senator Elissa Slotkin @slotkin.senate.gov · 22/09/2026

The President should not invite Chinese automakers to set up shop in the United States. This is quite literally an attempt by Chinese companies to get their foot in the door of the American market. This is a national security and an economic security issue. We should not give an inch.

New reporting now shows that this support from China may have directly contributed to the deaths of American servicemembers. The provision of targeting information by China to help Iran kill American servicemembers should be something even President Trump cannot tolerate.
