If you had any doubt that Liz Cheney is on her way to leaving the Republican party after getting primary-ed, there's really not much doubt any longer:
The Detroit News: GOP’s Liz Cheney endorsing Michigan Democrat Slotkin in a first
You generally don't see Republicans endorsing Democrats over fellow Republicans.
Choosing Slotkin over Tom Barret is a rather curious choice to come out swinging for the Democrats on the part of this Wyoming RINO.
Why choose Michigan to come out for the Dems? Couldn't she find a race a bit closer to home to dip into?
Barrett is hardly an out-there candidate, and while on the actual conservative side as one might hope a Republican would be, he's hardly an extremist however one might label that, and instead is erudite, coherent, has a good record in the State Senate, and has a good shot at winning the race.
It could be because Slotkin is rather connected to the Obama administration and the CIA, and is an excellent example of the definition of a Democrat DC-insider, who likely gets along great with Democrat-lite RINO-establishment Cheney.
Still a curious choice to commit to this election season, and it certainly should end any affiliation Liz Cheney has with the Republican party.

She's angling for a gig on MSNBC or CNN after January.
Hey Aaron;
Nuke Road I believe is correct, also it is a "screw you" to the voters for primaring her and she is throwing a temper tantrum, you will see more and more of it.
I saw a bit on her during her primary, and the state was NOT amused with her one bit. She seldom felt the need to visit the state where she was supposed to represent, and then, only visited the major cities.
I read a lot of people saying vile things about her, even worse than normally would be said about those of the other party. It is actually no real loss to have her leaving since she has not been a conservative for a long, long time.
