Very chill. Very cool. Not at all insane.

David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, is Senator Lindsey Graham’s guest to the State of the Union.

The White House is obsessed with hiding the President's involvement in a child sex ring. It's what they spend most of their time on.

If the suspect’s family didn’t turn him in, he’d probably still be on the loose thanks to Keystone Kash.

The market ≠ the economy. And presidents don't control either. But since stock markets are Trump's preferred metric for judging his successes as president, this context seems useful.

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%).
But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

I will be shocked if Republicans actually do the right thing here.

Walked into my classroom today right after a hummingbird flew into it. A student and I were able to bundle said hummingbird up in her puffer jacket and transport it outside. Then we all talked about Dorian Gray. High point of the quarter.

Trump's economic program has failed. Let's review some data in a thread.

First, his job growth record in BOTH his first and second terms is the worst of any President since Hoover. 1/

Trump is destroying this country!

#TrumpsStateOfDelusion

The worst thing he's doing is tearing innocent people away from their families & brutalizing them to corruptly enrich his billionaire buddies in the for-profit detention industry with his ICE & CBP savages!

Including even indigenous people!

They're not sending their best.

You can expect Trump to propose a bunch of stuff tonight and those proposals won't be worth your time to think about, it'll be vaporware just like this.

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

tweet from lisa desjardins reporting SOTU might be up to 3 hours long

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

24 minutes from the deposit until the payoff....

Don't any of the Michigan GOP representatives and candidates see the problem with this? Or are they all hoping for their own giant personal payday?

Google result for DonOld's "ambassadors" to different regions and countries

not for nothing but Donny's clown car of yutzes in the "diplomat" space lead me to kindly suggest other countries take France's lead here

baller move by the French will get absolutely no coverage in U.S. media... but it's a template other countries should follow.

Health insurance is now more expensive than the mortgage for many Americans.

Does anyone know what the current tariff rate is that the U.S. is charging on imports?

We have a Presidential proclamation from Friday declaring that a 10% rate went into effective at 12:01am today. Also a Truth Social post upping it to 15% "effective immediately."

WHICH IS IT?

@LisaDNews X.com THIS. SOTU to be *over 2 hours long* ", several reliable Republican sources tell me they have been told. One said they were told 2.5 - 3 hours (!!), though that is the high end and could be a reverse jinx attempt.

three hours of listening to him prattle and preen and screech should serve as proper punishment for the men’s hockey players who thought this would be fun

A record of the FBI interviews does appear in the files—on a list of discovery files given to Ghislaine Maxwell before her trial. By allowing Maxwell to retain information that the public does not have, Trump’s DOJ has enabled her to maintain potential blackmail over the president.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
