seems like a good night to share something I’ve never told anyone, which is that sometimes when I’m too wound up to sleep, this is the episode I put on to wind down podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

oh, right … a bunch of us spent many. many years throwing the name john popper into random tweets every couple weeks knowing he had a search column open at all times and would always respond

"Holy shit, did WE ever make the right decision" - The US Women's Hockey Team

Democrats were afraid to boycott the SOTU because they feared Republicans would then do the same to a Democratic President. But if they don't ring the alarm and Trump becomes the dictator he clearly wants to be, they won't ever have to worry about that. Time to say this is no longer normal.

I’d love to know how Democrats rationalize sitting and taking it from a guy with a 36% approval.

i think we can just say it's a lie! that he's told literally dozens of times for the last several months!

where those ghosts at

LMAO. Ok. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Who is the winnable voter who will be mad at the Dems for choosing not to participate in this obscene display? What is the cost these people fear?

What does it tell voters, who have said unequivocally we want fighters, that you sit & silently witness your own humiliation? If you will not fight for yourselves, are we to believe you will for us?

democrats get up for the standing ovation as trump blatantly lies about iran's lack of interest in a denuclearization deal. insane that this is the opposition party that wont oppose a foreign policy issue that has only 25% support. (75% of dems disagree on striking iran)

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

After pointing at Democrats and saying they are "crazy," Trump says, "We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time." Just insanely destructive. Indefensible — but Republicans stood and clapped.

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

This has gone full Nuremberg Rally.

Things not mentioned by President Trump about health care: Medicaid cuts that are the biggest rollback in federal support for health care ever. Expiration of enhanced ACA premium subsidies, leading to a doubling of out-of-pocket premiums. Fewer recommended vaccines.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

Let’s be clear about the big budget bill: It made the largest health care cuts in history — $1 trillion from Medicaid & the ACA — and gave tax breaks to big corporations and the wealthiest Americans. That’s not fighting “waste.” That’s ripping health coverage from millions #SOTU

trump going on about corruption and then slandering somali-americans makes my blood boil

On the big bad budget betrayal, it cut Medicaid by over $900 billion dollars--harming health care costs, coverage, care, and our communities. Over 15 million more are estimated to lose coverage. Premiums have doubled just this January as a deliberate decision of the current Congress and President.

there is no way tariffs could replace the income tax. just not mathematically possible. www.cato.org/blog/what-sc...

NOTE: If you hear the N-word during tonight's State of the Union, it's either because someone in the audience has Tourette's or the president is speaking

AL GREEN IS MY GOAT DONT YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON HIM!

Appears as though Rep. Al Green was already removed:

Imagine sitting at home, struggling to pay your bills, and tuning in to watch this asshole talk about how great everything is.

I guess the "Golden Age of America" includes cutting #Medicaid #SOTU

Skipping Woke 2 and going straight to…

Ruben Gallego: They want to call that the State of the Union. It is a State of Denial because what's going to happen under that Capitol is a bunch of lies. But what is true is that Donald Trump and the Republicans have made this country sicker, poorer, and less secure.

Hey, remember when Elon Musk was going save hundreds of billions of dollars by revoking Social Security benefits for dead people? Didn't happen, because hardly any dead people were getting Social Security. Instead, there's been a big *increase* in Social Security recipients since Musk's DC stint.

I am a hardcore political pervert but if you watch the State of the Union you should be jailed.

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds.” www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

“the president’s speech is going to be over two hours long!” they’re doing kalshi shit guys. they’re leaking a bunch of stuff about a super long speech and he’ll go about 2 minutes short of the supposed mark and everyone in the white house will make $200k on it

Saw this in Discord and it’s amazing

i love to be reminded, on the daily, that a lot of men hate women 🙃

54 first half points! Whew

👀

If you don't think complete capture of the media is top priority for this administration, I don't know what to tell you. It matters a great deal to them.

Welp.

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

Has anyone done the Jack Eichel/Marv from Home Alone side by side yet?

god I fucking hate the American healthcare industry. I got a bill yesterday saying I owe $320, a separate letter today with a $524 reimbursement check, and all this after I paid $878 out of pocket the day of my procedure. Medicare for all fucking now.

Without wading in too deeply, I think the weirdest thing about the USA Hockey stuff is: what do these guys think the State of the Union is? Like, how many players do you think have watched a SOTU start to finish? Do you think they know they're locking in for three hours of sitting (without drinks)?

I've been combing through the Lutnick wing of the Epstein Files and here's one we'll all enjoy. Gonna wanna look at the date on this one Photo with Hillary lmao

CBO estimates Medicare Trust Fund will run out in 2040 www.fiercehealthcare.com/regulatory/c...

I asked my three-time Trump-voting parents if they were going to watch the SOTU, and my mom said, “We aren’t wasting our time on that shit.” When you’ve lost my folks…

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Except for steal from the taxpayers, isn’t that right Rick

if you read nothing else from rodger sherman in your entire life please read these paragraphs from the end of his newsletter, possibly the most important paragraphs anyone has ever written about Team USA

Unfortunately the men’s hockey team disagreed with the broader premise of this essay but I stand by it
