Opening salvo of the President’s One hour and 47 minute speech was all you really needed to hear to know it isn’t YOUR State Of the Union: “Members of Congress and my fellow Americans, our nation is back, bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before.”

Have we already forgotten what happened in Iraq? Over 8,000 Americans killed. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Trillions of dollars spent. Nobody has explained how a war with Iran helps America. Because it won't.

President Trump had the chance to bring the country together tonight. Instead, we got a campaign rally where he lied, ducked responsibility, and had zero answers for Americans worried about the challenges they’re facing.

Americans who were eager to hear President Trump’s plan to fight higher health care costs, higher food costs, and higher housing costs didn’t hear one. His speech left many Americans wondering how his vision of a new Gilded Age economy applies to them. (1/3)

Dylan entered legally, followed the law, showed up to his court hearing—he was still detained. Raiza, his mother and my SOTU guest, shared the nightmare her family has endured since. While Trump lies, thousands of families are living with the consequences of ICE’s cruelty.

I’ve been in the room for several of Trump’s State of the Unions. This one worried me greatly.

The Trump speech tonight was heavy on distortion, disinformation, & downright dishonesty & light on facts & truth. Sadly, it was also short on solutions for the rising cost of living, job losses, & other urgent economic threats to the state of our union. 1/

Here’s what you didn’t hear from Donald Trump’s State of the Union:

President Trump promised the American people that he would bring down the cost of living and bring order to an unsettled world. More than a year into office, it is abundantly clear that he has failed to deliver on both counts. My full statement on tonight's State of the Union:

Tonight, Delawareans and Americans across our nation who believe our country is on the wrong track looked for reasons for hope from President Trump and found none.

If grandstanding paid for groceries, the President would have ridden to the American peoples’ rescue tonight. But it doesn’t work that way. Instead, the President delivered empty platitudes about the success of his first year back in office.

Wisconsinites want relief from this administration's chaos and relief from high costs. Sadly, tonight, the president doubled down on his unaffordable and unpopular agenda, ignoring families’ reality and leaving Wisconsinites with more questions than answers.
- MH
Tonight, Trump spewed lies to distract from the chaos, cruelty and corruption that have defined his second term. But the facts are clear: prices are up, our democracy is under threat and this regime’s only focus is keeping power while enriching Trump and his billionaire buddies.

That was the most delusional, detached from reality speech I’ve ever seen. Donald Trump took a victory lap for all he’s done to give himself, his family, and his billionaire donors massive handouts while kicking people off their healthcare... 1/2

My statement on President Trump’s State of Delusion:

Donald Trump said over and over that he wanted to cap credit card interest rates. But he failed to deliver. He didn't even mention it in his State of the Union. Taking action would save families $100 billion a year. But Trump doesn’t care about lowering your costs.

The President just gave himself a big round of applause for 2 hours. He doesn’t deserve a round of applause, he deserves to be fired.
- JH
Try as he might, Trump can’t erase what we see with our own eyes. Working families are struggling to afford groceries and health care. Small businesses are crushed under illegal tariffs. (1/3)
- CH
Trump said our economy is "roaring." Really? Workers just took home their smallest share of profits in recorded history. CEOs are making 285 times what their workers make. Trump just gave a $1 TRILLION tax cut to the 1%. It’s never been clearer who Trump serves.
- JR
Pres. Trump has led the state of our union into a state of disrepair. I’m focused on lowering costs, strengthening education & nat’l security, ending the chaos, & ensuring RIers can afford health care, rent, energy bills, and a home. I invite the president to join me. 1/3

For all those who didn't watch tonight, allow me to summarize: The liar lied again.
- PM
Well, now that we've gotten through THAT, here's the truth: This is America and no matter what Trump wants you to believe, the power belongs to the PEOPLE. A more hopeful future for America is possible when we all speak out and stand up for what we believe in.

Instead of calling for unity to make progress on the issues we all face as Americans, President Trump used his address to the nation to air out his personal grievances and attack those who are working to hold him accountable.

We just need four seats to take back the Senate majority, end the chaos, and keep Trump in check. Let's get it done.

Donald Trump wants you to think he’s brought back the Expanded Child Tax Credit. He hasn’t. Under his plan, 19M children will be left out of the full credit — meaning hungry kids, struggling parents, and families falling behind.

Prices up. Health insurance up. Violence and cruelty on our streets. This is the state of the union under Donald Trump. 2 hours of rambling and lies do not change that reality.

It's ironic that Trump's talking about ending wars while also bringing our country to the brink of a war that the American people do not want.

Reminder: the ‘America First,’ ‘No New Wars’ president illegally launched strikes on at least 2 countries during his first year in office and is warmongering more every day. This doesn’t make us stronger – it puts the US and our allies in greater danger.
- AK
Let's not forget: Trump's cuts to healthcare have cost you and millions of others. He's never cared about you getting sicker at the expense of himself and his billionaire donors getting richer

Despite his claims tonight, President Trump’s chaotic tariff strategy has been an economic disaster for families and businesses across the country.

You can tell a lot about what a president cares about by what he focuses on in the State of the Union. President Trump spent more time talking about hockey than lowering the price of housing or groceries.

It's been an hour and half and Donald Trump hasn't said a single thing about child care.

As Trump rambles on, the American people are still waiting for justice and transparency on the Epstein Files. My #SOTU guest, Dani Bensky, was a victim of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, and like so many of her fellow survivors, she’s not standing down in the fight for justice:

Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies. Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy. We’re a better country than this.

Aleshandra Fernandes is another one of my guests at tonight’s State of the Union. She’s a union ironworker on offshore wind projects on Long Island. Thanks to Trump’s attempts to shutter offshore wind projects, she no longer feels secure in her livelihood.

Trump just rambled on about Iran, but you didn’t hear anything about a plan or a strategy. That’s because he put American lives on the line, but there is no plan. There is no strategy.
- AK
As a reminder, the American people pay for Trump's tariffs, not foreign countries. Give the people their money back.

Today marks four years since Russia launched its full-spectrum invasion of Ukraine, and Trump is still both-sidesing this war. Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine is fighting for its survival, and we need to stand with them. This isn’t hard.

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.

In one year, President Trump has ordered military action against seven countries and deployed federal troops to American cities without Congressional approval. He has undermined NATO, the most successful alliance in history and alienated key U.S. allies with his tariffs.
- MK
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.

Well, Donald Trump has said one thing so far that is true: We need to ban stock trading in Congress. I’ve been fighting for years to get it done. Just need Republicans to put it up for a vote.
- MB
Tonight, Trump is trying to sow distrust in our public elections. The SAVE America Act will only make it harder for millions of American citizens — women, rural voters, seniors — to vote. The SAVE America ACT is voter suppression. We won't stand for it.

While Trump praises ICE, remember, this is what they’re doing on our streets. He’s not making our communities safer, his private army is terrorizing them.
