Surprise! Just what everyone said would happen is happening.

Um. Yikes.

If I were still making appearances on CNN, I would tell listeners to start from the assumption that everything Trump said tonight—across two hours—was untrue, and I would then proceed to outline the four or five things he said that were accurate.

*That's* how you fact-check him.

How many people has he now told to "come on down" like it's the Price is Right?

Image of John Roberts looking sad with the thinnest lips you've ever seen after Trump trashed the tariff ruling during state of the union 2026. What a fucking loser

TFW you made him king and he still doesn't love you

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

Gonna start a rumor that Barron's getting shorter. Spending time in a hydraulic press because of guy on Kick named KlanShortener. I don't know.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Very good. They should not have been in that room. The fact that they are still sitting there is disqualifying.

This has gone full Nuremberg Rally.

I'll never forget the joy with which he describes these murders.

Of course it's the people of color again having to say things... the white Democrats in that room are sitting on their hands.

Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are yelling at Trump after his complaints about DHS shutdown.

"You have killed Americans," Omar yelled.

Trump seemed to address remarks to them that ended "you should be ashamed of yourselves" before Republicans started cheering

But he looks tired? I feel like that should matter? He's slurring, leaning hard on that podium and his eyes are barely open.

Trump now claims AI data centers are going to lower our electricity prices.

personally if I were sitting behind a man proclaiming that my entire job was meaningless and my power was as dust in his eyes I would not smile and clap and nod and stand but that is one of many ways Mike Johnson and I are different

I have to watch the State of the Union because I sinned in a past life and am
being punished by a vengeful God.

You would not believe how many automated emails I get from various fruit and vegetable expos because of my job title.

He's really leaning on that podium... maybe...

Trump Puts Focus on Job Market President Trump presented the job market as robust during his State of the Union address, saying that more Americans are working today than at any time in the country’s history.

President Trump presented the job market as robust during his State of the Union address, saying that more Americans are working today than at any time in the country’s history. The job market actually weakened last year as companies slowed hiring.

Men's hockey team wins gold for the first time in 46 years: Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Women's hockey team wins gold for the *second* time in only 10 years: no recognition.

Sexism and patriarchy remain the building blocks of America.

I really might not make it to the end. This is an alternate reality.

this is so gross, all of it

It’s getting worse. Medal of Freedom for USA hockey goalie. What the actual fuck?

“Everything is political” okay Jack Hughes you just let yourself get trotted out like the presidents show pony

Republicans clap like seals after Trump recites his made-up foreign investment numbers

At tonight’s SOTU, the President will attempt a victory lap—inflation is down, unemployment is low. But if the basics aren’t affordable, “good numbers” don’t = a good economy.

@nytimes.com profiles reality: rent takes half, meds cost $105/month, and retirement isn’t an option. That’s the windchill.

Graphic titled “Housing Affordability” split into two panels. On the left, under “White House,” an illustration of a large money bag with a dollar bill and the caption: “50-year mortgages and draining 401(k)s with the rest of the system intact.” On the right, under “Roosevelt’s Research,” dollar signs point toward a group of houses with the caption: “Direct public investment to build affordable housing and rules to curb speculative rent extraction.” At the bottom, text reads: “Americans don’t need more debt-heavy fixes. They need real relief through public investment that boosts supply, zoning reform, and corporate accountability.”

First up: housing ⬇️🏘️

Housing costs are one of the main drivers of the affordability crisis, but the president has said he wants “to drive housing prices up.”

It makes sense then why his only fixes are 50-year mortgages and raiding 401(k)s.

These “solutions” will only saddle families with debt.

He looks like he's barely able to keep his eyes open...
