The attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab reportedly killed around 120 children and roughly 175 people overall, making it the deadliest civilian casualty event tied to U.S. military action in decades. In a letter sent to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper, the senators urged the Pentagon to complete its investigation into the strike and publicly release its findings. The probe was reportedly turned in back in April but has remained under review by top military officials since then. The senators also asked the Department to give Congress a concrete plan for preventing a similar tragedy from happening again. “More than four months after the strike, and after the reported submission of the investigation in April, Congress and the American people still have not received the Department’s investigation and findings,” the senators wrote. “There is no justification for withholding an unclassified accounting of what happened, what went wrong, and what the Department is doing to prevent recurrence.” “These reported issues, if accurate, raise deeply troubling questions about the integrity of U.S. target development, the adequacy of target validation and vetting procedures, the interoperability of intelligence and targeting databases, the timeliness and reliability of intelligence used for lethal targeting, and the Department’s implementation of civilian harm mitigation policies,”  the senators wrote.  “They also raise urgent questions about whether the Department has sufficient targeting personnel, training, accountability mechanisms, and technical safeguards to support large-scale conventional operations.   The senators concluded, “The Uni","source_url":"https://www.slotkin.senate.gov/2026/07/15/slotkin-gillibrand-colleagues-press-pentagon-to-release-findings-on-deadly-iran-school-strike/","source_date":null},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"Peters and Slotkin Demand Answers as Trump Administration Further Delays Toxic PFAS Chemical Cleanups at Military Sites in Michigan","detail":"WASHINGTON D.C. —  U.S. Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Gary Peters (D-MI) are demanding answers from the Trump Administration for its continued delays in cleaning up toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at military installations in Michigan and across the country. The delays come as Michigan communities and residents continue to face severe challenges with toxic PFAS contamination.     Michigan is home to 16 military installations where DOD has identified or suspects PFAS contamination, including Camp Grayling and the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Oscoda. In a letter to U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Secretary Pete Hegseth, the senators called on DOD to reverse its unacceptable postponement of PFAS remediation at military bases and requested detailed explanations for the delays in order to give servicemembers, their families, and the surrounding communities the transparency they deserve.   “We remain greatly concerned by the staggering delays at some installations, which include over 170 installations with delays ranging from 1 year to over 20 years,”   the senators wrote.  “Communities around these installations must not be left behind, and remediation work cannot wait.”   Recently, the Department of Defense (DOD) quietly updated its timetable for PFAS remediation at military sites across the country. Its new timeline, which was only recently made public but dated September 30, 2025, delayed cleanup efforts by over a decade at many installations and even up to two decades in some cases. In total, over 170 military sites were affected by this newest round of delays, including 8 sites in Michigan. This comes just months after DOD initially pushed the PFAS remediation timelines for roughly 150 bases late last year. In  November 2025 , Peters and Slotkin also led a letter with their colleagues to Secretary Hegseth demanding that he reverse those delays.  In their most rece","source_url":"https://www.slotkin.senate.gov/2026/07/01/peters-and-slotkin-demand-answers-as-trump-administration-further-delays-toxic-pfas-chemical-cleanups-at-military-sites-in-michigan/","source_date":null},{"topic":"Education","stance":"Slotkin, Klobuchar, Colleagues Raise Concerns about the USDA Research, Education, and Economics Mission Area Reorganization","detail":"WASHINGTON, D.C. –   U.S. Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), both members of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, are joining 22 of their colleagues in raising issues about the reorganization of the Research, Education, and Economics (REE) mission area at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  “We write with strong concern regarding the reorganization and restructuring of the Research, Education, and Economics (REE) mission area at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA),”  wrote the Senators.  “While we support actions to improve efficiencies and enhance service, this effort will erode the capacity of USDA’s research agencies and threaten their ability to deliver innovation and timely economic data for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.”       “In order to address these concerns, we ask that you provide a detailed description of actions the Department has taken to minimize disruptions to farmers, ranchers, and ag researchers and adhere to recommendations as outlined by GAO regarding agency reorganizations,”  the Senators continued.  “As strong supporters of USDA’s research agencies, it is our goal to make sure the REE mission functions as Congress intends – focused on helping farmers, ranchers, and rural communities overcome the challenges they face through scientific innovation and complex data analysis.”   Along with Slotkin and Klobuchar, the letter was signed by Senators Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Dick Durbin (D-IL), John Fetterman (D-PA), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Angus King (I-ME), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Patty Murray (D-WA), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Tina Smith (D-MN), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Raphael Warnock (D-GA","source_url":"https://www.slotkin.senate.gov/2026/05/14/slotkin-klobuchar-colleagues-raise-concerns-about-the-usda-research-education-and-economics-mission-area-reorganization/","source_date":null},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: Slotkin, Moreno Bill to Ban Chinese Vehicles and Protect American Auto Industry and National Security","detail":"WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Last week, U.S. Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Bernie Moreno (R-OH)  rolled out the  Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026 ,  legislation designed to defend the American auto industry against the increasing threat of Chinese-manufactured vehicles.  By cutting off Chinese vehicles, software, and critical hardware at every stage, from the factory floor to the dealership parking lot, the bill ensures that American drivers’ personal data cannot be harvested on U.S. roads and funneled back to the Chinese government.    The  Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026  has drawn broad support from across the American auto industry and national security community – with statements of support from labor, the car companies, and auto industry trade groups.   Watch Slotkin and Moreno talk about their bill on Bloomberg Balance of Power   WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CONNECTED VEHICLE SECURITY ACT OF 2026:   NBC: Senators introduce bipartisan bill banning Chinese vehicles and auto parts    Sens.
