This week on #TheConversation: @senslotkin talks immigration — and why Democrats can’t ignore the issue. “As a CIA officer, I spent my entire career trying to protect the homeland from threats,” she tells our @DashaBurns. “The immigration policy from the last administration from Joe Biden just did not make sense.” Slotkin argues the U.S. needs a rigorous immigration system — while also insisting, “we need to treat people decently, even when we’re picking them up and arresting them.” Watch the full conversation at the link in bio.

Dem Sen. Elissa Slotkin tells our @DashaBurns she believes her party's divide is among those who want to play defense vs. offense against the second Trump administration. "The idea of not going on offense, of not thinking creatively about how to use our convening power as elected officials... frankly sometimes still bewilders me," @senslotkin said on this week's episode of #TheConversation podcast. Listen to Slotkin's full interview — including what she thinks is "the most ridiculous strategy" for Dems — at the link in bio. https://youtu.be/k3WNWjCCYSg

On the campaign trail, State Rep. James Talarico said he believes he’s the stronger general election candidate in Texas' Senate Democratic primary race. Talarico says he won a state election by flipping a Trump district and held onto his seat after millions were spent against him by inspiring Democrats to “get off the couch” and winning over voters from the other side. “You always have to do both,” he told our @byadamwren “We’re not in a position as Texas Democrats to be closing off lanes to victory.”
 🎧 Hear more from Talarico on the campaign trail ahead of next week’s primary.
