Rep. Elissa Slotkin, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Michigan's 7th district, recently shared insights on social media regarding various issues affecting her constituents and national security concerns. Her posts highlighted interactions with local farmers and raised alarms about military communication practices.

On March 24, 2025, Rep. Slotkin tweeted about a town hall meeting she held with farmers in Sparta, Michigan. She stated: "Last week I held a town hall with farmers in Sparta on the west side of our state. What I heard: The threat of a trade war with Canada and cuts to USDA will make it harder for our farmers to survive."

In another tweet dated March 25, 2025, she expressed concerns over military operations and communication protocols: "They shared details on specific targets U.S. troops would try to hit, and what specific weapons they would be using. That’s a problem even before they accidentally looped in a journalist."

Further elaborating on this issue, Rep. Slotkin disclosed that high-ranking government officials planned a military strike using an unclassified messaging app: "Our most senior government officials -- including the Vice President, Secretary of Defense, CIA Director, and National Security Advisor -- planned a military strike via group chat on Signal, an unclassified texting app."
