Beer is more expensive because of Donald Trump's tariffs.

Bullshit, JD. The car was traveling smoothly along the job-creation road before Trump returned to office and he then abruptly drove it into a ditch with his illegal tariffs.

Despite what Trump said in his SOTU address, our economy isn’t “roaring” — it’s straining working-class families already struggling to make ends meet. More from my colleague @sagewarner.bsky.social in @msmagazine.com: tinyurl.com/3semhehv

Gotta tip your cap to @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social for scooping everyone on this.

Worth noting: the FBI deemed the accuser credible enough to interview her numerous times.

Do you remember Trump’s plan to put a 10% cap on credit card interest rates? Trump failed to mention it last night. Wall Street will keep making big profits while families suffer with higher bills.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up." If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2070...

A woman who has accused both Trump and Epstein of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor decades earlier gave four interviews to the FBI. Summaries of three of those interviews were not released with the Epstein files. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Prices are up, and families are struggling because Trump’s tariffs raised their bills by more than $1,000 last year. He just lost at the Supreme Court and doubled down on tariffs anyway. Trump can’t admit when he’s wrong, and Americans are literally paying the price.

Tonight's a good night for every new org to confirm that the DOJ covered up accusations of child rape against the man currently speaking.

While Trump is doubling down on tariffs and race war, this is happening -->

Prices are not “down” for Americans. While Trump and his billionaire friends get richer, working families are stretching every dollar to cover food, rent, and gas. He needs to come back to reality and work with us to actually bring down costs.

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

I've sat through every one of these SOTUs since high school. Between the racism, the lying, the incoherence, the time-wasting ramble, the pandering, the preening, and the performative sycophancy, I think I've had enough of this one.

The racism section of this speech is stomach-churning. #SOTU

Electricity rates increased by 13% under Trump. 49 states and Washington, D.C. are already experiencing electricity and natural gas bill increases.

State of the Union under Trump: Epstein Class Winning, You Losing

State of the Union under Trump: Slower Job Growth

Let's be clear about who the Republican megabill helped and hurt. #CBPPSOTU

Donald Trump is using the biggest audience he'll get this year to throw a tantrum about the Supreme Court not letting him tax Americans with his tariffs. We've got a spoiled child for a president.

Reminder: Trump's illegal tariffs cost the American people $175 billion. The average family paid $1,700. You deserve your money back.

This BS about lowering costs is rich coming from the guy who kicked millions of Americans off their health insurance, spiked premiums for over 20 MILLION Americans, & called the concept of making life more affordable for working people, a ‘hoax.’

tapping the sign

Trump is lying. Coffee is up 18.3% Ground beef is up 17.2% Cereal is up 6.2 Bananas are up 5.4% Fish is up 5.1% Cookies are up 5%

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

Donald Trump won’t talk tonight about how ICE is tear-gassing elementary schools, murdering American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats position is clear: no more funding for ICE until they stop their lawlessness and abuse.

No matter what Trump talks about tonight, remember he only cares about 3 or 4 things: covering up the Epstein scandal, convincing people he won the 2020 election, stealing the 2024 election, and sometimes his ballroom.

Eye-popping margins in the Pennsylvania special elections today: —Democrats won HD94 by 63 points. (Harris won it by 30 in 2024.) —Democrats won HD42 by 35 points. (Harris won it by 17 in 2024.) [The 2024 numbers are via the essential @the-downballot.com].

State of the Union under Trump: Inflation Rising

Trump should use tonight's State of the Union address to return the $1,751 he taxed every single American family over the last year with his illegal tariffs.

Thinking about how 1) Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women 2) Many women have come forward to say he sexually assaulted them 3) Trump bragged about entering pageant dressing rooms 4) Five women say he entered the dressing room for their *teen* pageant www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kend...

The American people are simply asking for the truth, and Congress passed a bipartisan law to release the full Epstein Files. It’s impossible to understand the Trump Administration ignoring the law and redacting so heavily unless they’re hiding something. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

State of the Union under Trump: Inflation Rising

“Yesterday, I reviewed unredacted evidence logs at the Department Of Justice. Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes." - Rep. Robert Garcia in a new statement

Among other things Trump's "strong" approval is down to 19% in this reading (and similar elsewhere). Sure seems to me to indicate that his overall approval could easily drop another 10 percentage points if things go badly.

From Hopium: - New polls show people ain't buying what Trump is selling - Loss of tariff revenue = big problem for Trump/GOP - Dramatic testimony from DHS whistleblower: "They lied" - Honoring Ukraine's extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and success 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/new-polls-...

For the last few weeks, Oversight Democrats have been investigating the FBI’s handling of allegations from 2019 of sexual assault on a minor made against President Donald Trump by a survivor. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this.

New reports suggest the DOJ hid dozens of Epstein files alleging Trump sexually abused minors. This includes three interviews with a woman who said Trump "forced her head down to his exposed penis" when she was just 13.

The victim was interviewed by the FBI four times. The last time was the day before Jeffrey Epstein died

And jobs. What about jobs, Mike?

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

WINKLER: “.. Small businesses are suffering record bankruptcies .. The agricultural economy is sliding .. Optimism about the economy is no different than in early 2020 .. “.. That's the true State of the Union in 2026.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

seen on Fox Business

The level of cover-up conducted by Todd Blanche and Trump is astonishing

“FBI interviews with other people refer to [a] meeting with Trump while she was a minor and being abused by Epstein … the mother recalled hearing that ‘a prince and DONALD TRUMP visited EPSTEIN's house’ which made her ‘think that if they are there then how could EPSTEIN be a criminal’”

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"

10% on Friday. 15% on Saturday. Back to .. 10% today? Who knows. 🤡

I won't be attending the State of the Union address. I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

Trump is actually doing even worse on immigration (-18 points) than he is on the economy (-16 points) in the new WaPo poll. Tariffs are -30. These are both supposed to be GOP strengths. Trumpism is a massive debacle, with the public widely rejecting the main pillars of MAGA right wing nationalism:
