I appreciate the ecumenical critiques. Not to “both-sides” it: there are significant differences and fairly one-sided undemocratic reasons for the complete deadlock, but this sign could very well stand the test of time. I had my ear out for process and not just content critiques from the stage.

Skirted across the Senate side on the way to picking up the kiddo. Cops everywhere on this non-SOTU SOTU evening, and specifically pro-Ukraine and other broadly anti-Trump demonstrations (I counted 3 different clusters eliciting repeat honks and cheers from passing traffic).
