  2. U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appeared on a panel together at the 62nd Munich Security Conference along with Matthew Whittaker, United States ambassador to NATO. They talked about complicated issues of foreign policy and geo-diplomacy for an hour or so and it was, at the time, seen as an uncontroversial, non-newsworthy conversation. Yet a few days later, the press was full of stories about their slip-ups and lack of knowledge. Emily Horne, a former National Security Council and State Department spokesperson, did a deep dive into what had happened. What she found? Stories from "pink slime" sites — local news publications that are largely funded by right-wing dark money groups — picked up and "laundered" into real news by POLITICO, The New York Times and more.

  7. Gretchen Whitmer (52) – Governor of Michigan.
    ✅ Pros: Executive experience in a key swing state.
    ❌ Cons: Lower national profile; regional recognition may be limited.
    Whitmer’s leadership in Michigan gives her credibility with battleground voters, but she’ll need to boost her profile nationally to compete. 8)

  8. JD Vance: Offer to send National Guard to Detroit still stands — #DetroitFreePress

    #JDVance, speaking for #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump, claims #Detroit needs troops to combat crime. However, under Governor #GretchenWhitmer and Mayor #MikeDuggan, the number of crimes in Detroit is the lowest since the 1960s.

    Interestingly, #Vance was speaking from #Howell, #Michigan, the place in the state with the highest concentration of white supremacists and racists.

    Why legacy media is not talking about this ? They criticized Biden over and over but not Trump , they have failed ;

    “ Trump confuses Governor Gretchen Whitmer with Kristi Noem, and refers to the Michigan Governor as "Kristi -- uh, Kristi Whitman. Whitmer."

    The press keeps ignoring his cognitive loss.”

  10. Fox was sentenced to 16yrs in #prison on conspiracy to #kidnap & #conspiracy to possess #weapons of mass destruction [#WMD] charges, while Croft was sentenced to 19yrs on the same 2 charges as Fox, plus a 3rd charge of knowingly possessing an unregistered destructive device.

  11. Fox & Croft were 2 of the defendants federal prosecutors successfully #convicted after a pair of trials in 2022—initially, a jury acquitted Brandon Caserta & Daniel Harris, whom the govt also alleged plotted to #kidnap #GretchenWhitmer, & were hung on Fox & Croft. But at a second trial later that year, jurors in west #Michigan returned #guilty verdicts for the latter 2.

  12. The federal govt alleged in 2020 that Barry Croft & Adam Fox were members of a group that plotted to #kidnap & #murder #GretchenWhitmer after being
    disgruntled w/her handling of #COVID-19 [cuz masks are sooo oppressive]. Testimony during the trial revealed Fox, Croft & others, including #FBI informants, traveled to
    northern #Michigan where they “cased”Whitmer’s vacation home.

    [but #Trump claims they were drunk & saying stupid things]

  13. #Trump's comments come 6 days after the #DOJ's new #pardon attorney, disgraced #DC #USattorney, under investigation by the #DCBar & #Jan6 advocate, #EdMartin Jr., said on a podcast he would take a "hard look" at pardoning the men he called "victims just like January 6," when Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol while Congress met to certify the Nov 2020 election results.

  14. 14 men were charged in the plan to #kidnap & #murder #GretchenWhitmer, a #Democrat, & 9 were #convicted. The ringleader of the group, Barry Croft Jr., was given the longest sentence at >19 years.

    In 2020, Whitmer placed some blame for the kidnapping plot on #Trump's rhetoric, saying that he "refused to condemn white supremacists & hate groups like these 2 #Michigan #militia groups,” referring to Trump's comments at the 2020 debate against Biden [& his social media posts attacking her]

  15. “I will take a look at it. It’s been brought to my attention,” #Trump said to reporters in the Oval Office. “I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job.”

    Trump said he thought the men convicted in the case, which occurred before the 2020 election, “were drinking” & “said stupid things.”

    That is NOT AT ALL WHAT HAPPENED.
    It was an elaborate plot.

  16. Disgusting. Outrageous. Unacceptable.

    #Trump said he would "take a look at" #pardons for 2 men #convicted of conspiring to #kidnap & #murder #Michigan Governor #GretchenWhitmer in 2020.

    Barry Croft Jr. & Adam Fox were found guilty as the leaders of an anti-government #extremists group who wanted to grab Whitmer, a #Democrat, at her vacation home, kill her & start a #CivilWar.

  22. What happens when political rivals meet? Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's recent greeting of President Trump at Selfridge Air National Guard Base raises eyebrows. This friendly exchange, starkly contrasting her past efforts to distance herself from him, has ignited discussions about her potential run in 2028. Critics argue her actions undermine Democratic assertiveness. Can Whitmer balance constituency service with party expectations?

  23. "I stayed in the room because I needed to make the case for #Michigan, & that's my job,”Gov #GretchenWhitmer said.

    …She said her presence…"was not an endorsement of any of the actions he took or the comments that were made."

    "I was going in for a meeting, & they walked me into a press conference, & I sat there thinking about the people of northern Michigan who still don't have power...I thought about MI businesses that are paying a price because of #tariff fluctuation.…”

  24. Gov #GretchenWhitmer said Thurs that she stood in the Oval Office, a day earlier, during an afternoon press conference where #Trump signed a series of memos targeting his political enemies because she wanted to advocate on behalf of the residents of #Michigan.

    "It was not where I wanted to be or planned to be or would have liked to have been," Whitmer told reporters…. "I disagree with a lot of stuff that was said & the actions that were taken.
