Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat representing Michigan in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of messages on April 7, 2026, addressing both state pride and legislative developments.
In her first tweet at 11:46 a.m., Slotkin celebrated the University of Michigan basketball team’s success: “We’ll win it pretty or we’ll win ugly. Either way, we win it! @umichbball, you make our whole state proud!!! Hail to the victors!”
Shortly after, at 12:01 p.m., she shared another post that contained only a link: “https://t.co/q0HfIdsOYG”
Later that day at 1:05 p.m., Slotkin commented on legislative matters regarding agriculture policy: “Passing the farm bill has always been a bipartisan project — until this year. I break it down. https://t.co/WUmFj8hqvH”
