Governor Christine Todd Whitman

2 weeks ago, they closed down the El Paso airspace to shoot down a drone that ended up being a party balloon. Now we learn they closed the airspace again & this time they did shoot down a drone, except it was one of ours. Does this give us confidence in this administration? Does anyone feel safer?

Trump will use the false claim of Chinese interference to take over the '26 elections. This isn't just Trump blustering; the SOTU was about inciting people to execute that plan. Find orgs like @statesunited.org & @fwdparty.bsky.social that are fighting for democracy & get active before it's too late

It's depressing to see Trump turn the Olympics into a political sideshow. Posting a meme of himself scoring a hockey goal, using the men’s team as ploys in the SOTU is frustrating, especially after the flippant remarks he made about the women’s USA hockey team whose record is better than the men's.

Listening to Trump talk about patriotism and honoring all those who served makes me sick. He didn’t have that level of patriotism when it came to serving in Vietnam, he just claimed to have bone spurs.

Freedom, equality, fair elections, rule of law, checks & balances are truths that are not owned by one political party.

They are American ideals. And they belong to all of us.

Trump downs cartel drone near El Paso after closing airspace The White House attributed the sudden closure of US airspace over El Paso, Texas, to drone activity linked to Mexican drug cartels.

And just how much did this “mistake” cost us? What a joke.

What a shameless man.

no evidence of fraud. Yet he continues to use taxpayer resources in GA. This isn't a partisan issue; it challenges the core of our democracy: free & fair elections. We cannot ignore this - we must make our voices heard with elected representatives at every level. (2/2)

Trump’s talk of nationalizing elections is not a distraction from the Epstein files; it is happening. His legal team has pursued this since 2016 and he has said that only elections he wins are fair. More than 60 cases in the 2020 election, including those reviewed by judges he appointed, found (1/2)

The Trump administration exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review The announcement comes just days after NPR revealed the administration had secretly rewritten safety and environmental standards.

Our industry & nuclear regulatory commission have been held as worldwide examples of how to do it correctly, and our record has been good. This is clearly an expanding form of energy & we should be part of it - safely. www.npr.org/2026/02/02/n...

As a longtime proponent of nuclear energy, I am totally against exempting them from environmental review. To do will undermine confidence & could be dangerous. Nuclear is the only form of base power that releases no regulated pollutants or greenhouse gases while producing power.

Trump’s acting cyber chief uploaded sensitive files into a public version of ChatGPT The interim director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency triggered an internal cybersecurity warning with the uploads — and a DHS-level damage assessment.

This kind of incompetency has got to scare everyone. There’s no excuse for this; no wonder our allies will no longer share sensitive information with us. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

OFFICIAL STATEMENT on Minnesota, ICE, dangerous overreach--and resulting tragedies.

I stand with Minnesota!

There are five things you can do — right now — to stand with Minnesota. You don't need to travel to the Midwestern state in order to stare down DHS, ICE, and Donald Trump. You can do it from wherever you are.

take the country backwards. Trump wants a Civil War so that he can justify using the Insurrection Act to take over all our cities. We must speak up & take a clear stand, but do so peacefully as the people of Minneapolis have modeled so well.

& then tell them to do anything to “find criminals", this is what you get. The MN police are fully able to enforce the law - it’s ICE that’s causing the chaos & deaths. We fought for our independence to get military troops out of our streets - we can’t stand by & let Trump (2/3)

I am sickened by what is happening in Minneapolis and my heart goes out to the families of Alex Pretti & Renee Good & everyone else who has been affected by this crackdown. When you give men military weapons, camouflage, little training & allow them to mask their identity (1/3)
