This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.

The Dems need to BOO TRUMP when he LIES, it looks much better to be thrown out than to let him lie with impunity on prime time!

Screw the signs. Be loud and get escorted out without resisting #GoodTrouble

Congressman Al Green’s method of protest is compelling without a doubt…but these signs I don’t think are effective.

They look polite and soft.

If you’re going to hold up a sign, make it big and bold — or do what Al Green did.

People have been saying it looks like they’re at an auction.

A group of Democratic members of Congress are seated in the chamber, holding up protest signs during Donald Trump’s 2024 State of the Union address. The signs, shaped like handheld paddles, display various messages in bold capital letters. Some signs read “SAVE MEDICAID”, others say “FALSE”, and one sign states “MUSK STEALS”. A representative in the front holds a handwritten sign that reads “That’s a LIE!”. The expressions among the lawmakers vary, with some looking serious and others appearing to engage with colleagues. The setting is a formal congressional gathering, with members dressed in professional attire.

Update—Democrats: Forget the signs. Call out the truth. Get loud. Take a stand. They kicked your colleague Rep. Al Green out for making his voice heard. Meet the moment. They would & have done this to you. Why are you rolling over & playing dead?

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

6. Beware of false attacks

Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

Everything’s building up to the question of whether the Democrats will provide any votes for funding the government in March. And given that they can’t trust the bureaucracy to follow through (that is, follow the law) on any deal they strike, it’s hard to see how they rationally could.

Can't stress enough how foundational this is. If Congress does not have control over appropriations, then they aren't a legislative body, they're a social club.

The Democrats need to use a shutdown to reassert Congressional control over spending, ironically on behalf of their Republican colleagues

UPDATE: Secret Service agents — not ICE — were denied entry at a Chicago school despite initial CPS reports, a CPS source said.

Secret Service agents were looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, the source said. https://buff.ly/3EatFDz

Lloyd Austin was confirmed 93–2.

Mark Esper was confirmed 90–8.

James Mattis was confirmed 98–1.

Ashton Carter was confirmed 93–5.

Leon Panetta was confirmed 100–0.

Robert Gates was confirmed 95–2.

Pete Hegseth will likely be confirmed at 50-50.

Most unqualified nominee in American history.

Emily Ramshaw @eramshaw.bsky.social · Jan 22

"Eight years ago, Trump’s first election helped ignite a reckoning for powerful men... His return to the White House signals a cultural shift more reflective of the aggressive view of masculinity Trump ran on."

@gracepanetta.bsky.social's latest.

Trump’s first term ignited #MeToo. Will his second extinguish it?

Advocates for victims of sexual violence see Trump’s reelection — and his Cabinet picks — as a clear sign of backlash against the movement to hold powerful men accountable.

Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge

The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.
