You are pathetic, along with 99% of the Dems and 100% of the Dem leadership, just sitting there like feckless muppets. After over 30 years as a registered Dem I feel embarrassed to do so. Seeing the Dem response tonight and in general to all this, makes me want to puke. Switching to Ind. F U All.
Jeezus Christ you're a disappointment and a disgrace. Waving a SIGN? While he brags about tearing apart our country? How do you have less spine than a 70 year old man with a cane? Just resign, we're replacing you with someone who'll fight for this country.
Trumpian recession looming.
Tariffs won't affect millionaires & billionaires but we will be shouldering the additional taxes without jobs or safety nets and he’s coming for Social Security too!
I have seen or heard a combination of almost every legal suggestion given for the Dems to follow. I am proud of you all for listening and trying tonight.
The current crop of Democrats simply don't have what it takes to deal with a hostile takeover of the public sector by ruthless corporate marauders. It's like asking high school teachers to deal with gang leaders... when the gang leaders are seated on the school board and own the police.
Now we know what will be Saturday Night Live's cold open. Thanks for being ineffective at being rebellious. I guess the in-house kinkos was busy earlier that day for a rush order of stupid frigin signs. I'm embarrassed for my party.
I didn't watch, sorry. I didn't want to feed the Cheato's ego in any way. Nor can I stand his voice, anything about him, really. But thank you for making a statement, at least.
It looks like you are at an auction, bidding for your dignity. There can't be a single Dem vote for their spending bill, but tonight's "plan" has me very worried.
We need you all to do way more than hold up a sign. You guys need to get loud. You need to shut down the lies yell out liar every time he lies. You have to meet this moment.
Wearing pink and holding little signs.....FFS. You could all have disrupted his lie filled speech by being rejected from the house, one at a time. Those F...ers don't play by the rules so why should you. The end game is to remove Trump and his sycophants by any means.
This isn't an auction or a ping pong game.
Democrats should have been waaaaay more disruptive.
Rep. Green was the ONLY one who realized what needed to be done.
Christ, the walkout of the Delta frat from the hearing in Animal House carried more weight than this weaksauce "protest".
We're on our own.
The signs had no impact. They're being compared to auction bid signs on social media. These cost tax dollars to create. The Democrats should've been using your voices or boycotted by not showing up. Please take a tougher stand next time.
Respectfully, Congresswoman: The current regime doesn't care about rules, reputation, legacy, honesty, or the country. They only care about power and money. Lies, sabotage, and cruelty aren't off-limits. It's their preferred tools. I hope you're doing much more than protesting and objecting.
And yet you sat through through most of it. Quietly holding up signs is not gonna cut it. Our Democratic leadership needs to get loud and start standing up to this asshole. And you’re wearing pink - why? Why weren’t you wearing yellow and blue?
Most of what comes out of Trump's mouth are lies, and when he occasionally speaks the truth, it is always to tell us that he is carrying out something immoral, evil, and diabolical. In such situations, he is always trustworthy.
Signs were lazy. I wanted them to practically talk though his bs like the fraud and traitor he was. Trump only deserves the disrespect he's shown everything and everyone.
Should have ruined it for him - no silence, no sanctimony.
Your colleagues are either corrupt or stupid for the way they are handling things.
I am hesitant to lump you in with them, but the more you dawdle and participate in meaningless performative acts, the more I think I should change my opinion of you.
@jayapal.house.gov you see the optics, right? You all would have been better served to not show up. Instead you are trying a ping pong gimmick and look like complete chumps.
so the extent of your "resistance" is wearing pink and waving a sign, or are you going to entirely remove Trump and his entire administration from power within a week by and and all means necessary?
FALSE? Really? They are LIES! How many rooftops do we have to scream from until you Democrats start listening. Decorum doesn’t matter! Pretty words like false, misinformation and disinformation don’t matter. They are lies! Republicans use the word lies and maga listens. Ya’ll need a maga whisperer
This is weak. You should have followed Al Green’s lead and been vocal about it. But if you were determined to hold a sign, it should have said “Lie”. Lie has far more bite to it than False or Falsehood. You people need to open your eyes. Niceties are out the window. Attack these animals!!
The democratic party needs a HUGE shakeup. They not only failed against Trump, but gave up the Senate too. Little signs and pink shirts do nothing, absolutely nothing
Those signs are doing nothing. All of the Democrats and any Republicans who have hearts need to stand up and make disturbances. Get thrown out one by one. The signs do nothing. I'm so disappointed in all my representatives.
Why didn't you and the rest of the Democrats walk out when @algreen.house.gov was tossed out for being the ONLY brave Democrat in the chamber? Your little signs are BULLSHIT. STAND UP, FIGHT #SOTU

2. Everyone could see Al Green.
3. Dems should have followed Al’s lead. One by one.
Dems had this moment to show their constituents, Trump, the GOP, and the world, that Dems could stand up to him.
With the exception of Al, Dems did nothing of consequence.
This is PATHETIC
Tariffs won't affect millionaires & billionaires but we will be shouldering the additional taxes without jobs or safety nets and he’s coming for Social Security too!
This is not enough of a response.
Disrupt. Make noise. Walk out.
(Normally would pay a typo no mind, but didn't want folks to think that a, uh, VERY different Rep walked out...)
Never stay silent!!
America is in DANGER!!!
Next year host a town hall for your constituents like @wyden.senate.gov. My family and I would be there!
The rest of you are wasted space.
Democrats should have been waaaaay more disruptive.

GTFOH with your signs.
If you aren't going to meet this moment, you all need to step down and allow us to have special elections to elevate people that will.
Give us a fighting chance, Pramila. We are on the Titanic and you are the dude closing the gate and trapping us like rats.
"E JEAN.CARROLL WAS RAPED"
and
"TRUMP FELON P01135809"
?
Why did congress certify
"without objection"?
Art 14 Sec 3
Why didn’t you all walk out with Al Green? Why didn’t Democrats make ANY kind of noise when Trump called Biden “a failed administration”?
Could you look any weaker?
Pathetic.
The signs are silly.
Wouldn’t want anyone to mistakenly think you actually DID something meaningful.
Asking for those of us that DID show up to save our Democracy.
Sincerely,
#WeThePeople 🇺🇲
#Resist

Polite paddles don’t matter
Good grief
They are dismantling democracy
And the “opposition party” has … ping pong paddles!??? WTAF?
You’re better than this.
Disrupt. Walk out!
Mr. Green from Texas done it right.
The Democratic Party need to stand up and get LOUD!
Biden beat Trump in 2020.
For four years, the Democrats never changed how they governed.
Trump won reelection in 2024.
FULL CIRCLE
The current Democrat party is the definition of INSANITY!
passively holding up a sign that they never show on camera is NOT ENOUGH.
WALK OUT
SHE WALKED OUT ❤️❤️❤️
Disruption was needed!
Leave!
Leave, please!
Good lord- the paddle looks ridiculous
WALK OUT!
We need reps to do what we elected them to do: to stand up
Strong voices?
