Slotkin's Intel Briefing: More tariff chaos, AI chips to China, Corporate PACs and Insider Trading
YouTube video by Sen. Elissa Slotkin Slotkin's Intel Briefing: More tariff chaos, AI chips to China, Corporate PACs and Insider Trading

In our Intel Briefing this week, we hit three important things I am watching closely:

1️⃣ Trump’s latest tariffs and declining US manufacturing jobs
2️⃣ The national security threat of selling AI chips to China
3️⃣ Banning corporate PACs and Members of Congress from trading stocks

I’m one of just six Senators who have never taken corporate PAC checks. Our campaign finance system is broken.

If we want to regain the trust of Americans on the left, right and center, it’s a no brainer: ban corporate PAC donations to anyone running for office.

The Trump Administration is again saying the quiet part loud about privatizing your Social Security. They are looking for a “back door” to go after benefits you have worked for your entire life. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Trump Administration’s decision to let Nvidia sell its AI chips to China should be immediately reversed.

This decision undercuts the American military, American AI dominance, and American jobs, just to pad one company’s bottom line.

Debate Intensifies on Whether Congressional Members Should be Banned from Trading Stocks WASHINGTON, D.C. - Should congressional members be banned from trading stocks? There’s been recent lively debate in Washington surrounding that question. A Senate committee advanced legislation on…

People don't believe that we are here for the right reasons. That we are here to enrich ourselves.

That's why we should ban Members of Congress, the President, and VP from trading stocks.

We got one step closer to doing just that this week. wzmq19.com/news/351388/...

Today, I wrote the Trump Administration with a concrete proposal to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This plan was brought to me jointly by leaders from Michigan’s Jewish and Muslim communities, based on the values both communities hold dear.

The American people think ALL politicians, Democrats and Republicans, use our position to enrich ourselves.
Today, we sent a bill to the Senate floor that bans Members of Congress, the President, and VP from trading stocks. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good first step. We should pass it into law.

We can’t be willing to scrap certain energy because it’s “woke.” Anyone who disagrees with that is just scoring political points and doesn’t care about your electricity bills.

In one instance, a pair of brothers-in-law from Kent County used their shopping carts to confront the attacker. In another, a Marine veteran ran toward danger, kept the attacker at bay, and prevented further harm. (2/3)

No issue in Washington is more polluted by lobbyists and corporate PACs than healthcare. It's why our system is broken.

I’m one of six U.S. senators who don’t take corporate PAC money. Six out of 100. It should be 100 out of 100. Ban corporate PACs.

After the unthinkable in Traverse City, Michiganders did what I have come to expect when there’s a crisis: the community started stepping up for each other.

If you or someone you know needs support, the Northern Lakes Community Mental Health Crisis Line is open and staffed. Call 833-295-0616.

This week in our Intel Briefing, we go deep on three things that impact you:

1️⃣ The threat of a politicized FED
2️⃣ How President Trump is pushing disaster relief onto the states
3️⃣ The threat of partisan gerrymandering

The cost of living is too high in America, and it’s keeping hard-working people out of the middle class. That’s why I co-sponsored the Price Gouging Prevention Act.
