Friend —
Yesterday was a busy day in the Senate, and Elissa was working on a wide range of issues.
In the afternoon, Elissa joined Christiane Amanpour on CNN for a conversation about President Trump’s Ukraine policy. As she said – “if you’re Putin, you’re popping champagne in Moscow.” Check it out here:
Starting in the evening, Elissa pulled an all-nighter in the Senate, participating in what’s called a “vote-a-rama.”
When a budget bill is brought to the floor of the Senate, each Senator has the ability to introduce as many amendments as they’d like, leading to a long, sometimes all-night process of voting.
In this case, Republicans brought a budget resolution to the floor with all sorts of cuts – and Senate Democrats took the opportunity to try to block some of the things that would bring economic or physical harm to Americans.
Elissa’s amendment? A 1:00 am proposal to ensure no cuts to any staff or programs that are currently responding to avian flu – but it was blocked by the Republicans.
The final GOP budget that passed, in the 4:00 am hour, is going to make big cuts to programs that are important to Michiganders, and enact tax policy changes to benefit the ultra-wealthy.
Michiganders’ personal and economic security will always be Elissa’s guideposts, and will continue to drive her work in the Senate.
