Tonight’s state of the union.
This administration has managed to do many big things at once. The problem is they're all harmful.
The next time our party earns the chance to lead, we have to be prepared to aim big and do many things at once - things that will actually help improve life in America.
In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.
Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.

Jesus Christ doesn’t care that the Dow crossed 50,000 when people can’t afford food.
Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.
Why didn’t the Clintons do that in 2015 when he first ran for president?
OH PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
BREAKING: Rumors are swirling in DC that Bill Clinton will spill the beans on EVERYTHING he knows about Epstein & tRumpstein, leading not only to impeachment, but prosecution!!

The President of the United States and the dumbest motherfucker on Earth should be two different People
Yes they should.
.@PabloReports: What do you make of Trump being mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein files?

Today I spoke with Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes about the state of our elections. Thirty minutes of straight talk every American—not just Arizonans—needs to see. (Link in comments)
Last night, GOP Senator Rand Paul went on national TV to flatly reject DHS's lies about the Pretti execution:

The United States of America is rejecting Donald Trump. The movement of rejecting authoritarianism seems to have finally hit critical mass.
It's a nationwide, "F*ck NO!"
South Bend continues to shape me in so many ways. It's always great to be back to see how far the city - and its people - have come.

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.
