1/ For those counting, this is at least the FOURTH time Trump has caved on his tariff threats. This makes him look both stupid AND weak. Which he is. www.cnn.com/2025/03/05/p...

"After the spectacle in the Oval Office last week, Reagan must be rolling in his grave." YES! Reagan would be HORRIFIED to see how his party has abandoned our allies and utterly surrendered to Putin! #SOTU

Slotkin is also pointing out how much less safe, in EVERY area, and by EVERY metric, Trump is making us. She is DESTROYING him. #SOTU

Slotkin is doing a phenomenal job utterly DESTROYING Trump's dangerous and ineffective economic policies. She's showing that his policies are having the OPPOSITE effect he promised to bring. Promises made, promises BROKEN. #SOTU

Trump's nearly two-hour long lie- and bigotry-filled speech tonight proves irrefutably that we're living in "Idiocracy". That's not meant as a joke. That's an observation of horrifying fact. #SOTU

I appreciated Democrats jeering and booing Trump tonight. Al Green getting kicked out will play TERRIBLY against the GOP. But overall, Democrats still came off as utterly supine next to the raucous GOP. They need to do better. We need a REAL resistance, and we need it NOW. #SOTU

That was nearly two full hours of nothing but lies and bigotry. In 50 years, students studying this speech will be APPALLED that an American president was so brazenly racist and so flagrantly lied, all while his party cheered him on. #SOTU

Y'know, as much of a space exploration nerd as I am, I honestly don't see much point in putting men on Mars. This isn't a dig at Trump or Musk or anyone else; I just honestly don't think the benefit is worth the cost and risk. Probes are the future of space exploration, not manned missions. #SOTU

Another interesting observation on Trump's body language tonight: he has spent most of the night talking ONLY to the Republican side of the chamber. He only turns to the left to berate Democrats. #SOTU

Trump used the fact that Marc Fogel was born in Butler, Pennsylvania to segue into recanting his assassination attempt last July. He just can't stop talking about himself, for even a SECOND. #SOTU

I want peace in Ukraine as much as anyone. But we can't have peace so long as Russia has even a MILLIMETER of Ukrainian territory. And Trump has shown NO interest in this. He also doesn't care that Russia has violated EVERY ceasefire. That's because he's a Russian asset. #SOTU

Yes, Europe spent lots of money buying gas and oil from Russia. That's because they have little reserves of their own. But they've also largely STOPPED buying oil and gas from Russia since the war in Ukraine started. So Trump is lying once again. He has NO CLUE what he's talking about. #SOTU

Trump just said that Ukraine and Russia are in the Middle East. Yes, he just said that. How can ANYONE think he's competent? #SOTU

Yes, the withdrawal from Afghanistan was atrocious, and yes, the Abbey Gate attack was a tragedy. But it all happened because of Trump. HE set up the withdrawal, and HE released 5,000 Taliban terrorists. Ergo, that ENTIRE MESS is 100% the fault of Donald John Trump. NOT Biden, TRUMP. #SOTU

Marco Rubio looks INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. Seriously, he looks like he wants to vomit. He knows what a lunatic this president is, but he's not allow to say it because the GOP is a cult. #SOTU

The cheering and clapping for RFK Jr. was quite tepid. Even Republicans see him for the dangerous hack he is, but their God King told them to support him, so they have no choice. #SOTU

Trump is saying we have to "respect" our law enforcement officers. This is the SAME GUY who just pardoned over 1,500 people who ASSAULTED cops on HIS ORDERS. FUCK this traitor. #SOTU

Trump just referred to Eisenhower as a "moderate man" (which he was, but I digress), with a CLEARLY insulting tone. In doing so, he stated that moderation, even in his OWN PARTY, is bad, and that ONLY extremism is acceptable. #SOTU

Using the families of murder victims to justify racist, bigoted policies that wouldn't have prevented their deaths and do nothing to ACTUALLY make communities safer is as amoral as it gets. Trump is petty, racist, and cruel, and this is the proof. #SOTU

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. Let’s start with Elon Musk.

My heart breaks for Laken Riley and her family. Her murder was a tragedy, and no one disputes this. But it does not justify Trump's bigoted policies. Every single piece of data shows that undocumented migrants commit far FEWER crimes than American citizens. They're not the murderers Trump claims.

Trump literally just referred to migrant farm workers as "dirty". That's straight-up racism, and he did it on NATIONAL TELEVISION. Also, if Trump loves farmers so much, why'd he BANKRUPT them during his first term? #SOTU

Trump wants to get rid of the CHIPS Act. Which has been INCREDIBLY successful, spurring the construction of DOZENS of computer manufacturing plants and the creation of tens of THOUSANDS of jobs. But tell me again how he gives a DAMN about American workers. #SOTU

I just noticed something odd. Look at Trump's hands. He has a DEATH GRIP on that podium. He's gripping it so hard that his knuckles are completely white. He does move his hands to gesture now and then, but most of the time, he's white-knuckling the CRAP out of that podium. What's going on? #SOTU

Sorry, Donny, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that Democrats will vote for your tax cuts, and that's because they're utterly fake. It's nothing but a giveaway to the rich, paid for ENTIRELY by the middle class. #SOTU

Democrats are vocally calling out Trump's lies that "millions" of people 120 years and older are drawing social security. This is a LIE. NO ONE that old is drawing a PENNY of social security because they DO NOT EXIST. This lie came out because kids don't know how to read COBOL code. #SOTU
