"... the next speaker could do everyone a favor with a letter that begins: “Dear Mr. President, the time has come for your State of the Union message. Please send it in writing in the enclosed envelope. Congress will give it all the attention it deserves." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger questions whether Americans feel the ‘golden age’ Trump describes Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger offered a sharp contrast to President Donald Trump’s depiction of the nation as being in a “golden age” during his State of the Union address.

He “has sent poorly trained federal agents into our cities, where they have arrested and detained American citizens and people who aspire to be Americans.” He seeks to “pit us against one another” while “enriching himself, his family, his friends.”

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.
