President Donald Trump made false claims in his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

Here is a fact check of some of Trump’s remarks: https://cnn.it/4b7r4rL

What a cutie.

Well said.

I couldn't even listen to all of what Vance had to say, so much nonsense.

Trump SHUT DOWN the government last night. YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

Donald Trump SHUT DOWN the government last night.

Why? Because he and Republicans in Congress would rather shut down the whole government than lower your health care costs.

It’s shameful.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families.

We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.

When I was having my second baby, my OBGYN walked into the labor room in shorts and a t-shirt, cause it was a Saturday. And then he went and changed into scrubs.

Good analysis. Hope your surgery goes well and that you have a complete recovery.

Good analysis of the election conspiracy stuff that's been going around.

Why can't big tech pay their own bill one wonders.

I hate daylight savings time. It makes Jewish holidays such as Passover and Shavuot start too late. It's impossible to have a seder with young kids staying awake for it when it starts on DST.

True. There's no such thing as "Judeo-Christian"

I just got on TikTok and searched for "Medicaid cuts explained." 😀
Mind you, I'm not on TikTok much, I refuse to have it on my phone, but I created an account a few years ago so I could view TikTok content more easily on my laptop.

Excellent video. I just went down a TikTok rabbit hole looking for it, finding it, and moving on to other videos. 😂

Absolutely, and thank you for saying this. Also worth noting that Liz Cheney didn't go left. She's still a very conservative Republican with lots of views I disagree with. But she showed a lot of gumption in standing up to Trump and I respect that.

I was going to say that being only 2% of the population is part of the problem. But events being planned on Saturdays has been a longstanding problem for me and not just in political spaces but also in other organizations I've worked with.

I'd like to participate but I usually can't unless it's walking distance from where I live.

Yes, every time.

Yeah, left wing antisemitism is not new, but it's much more visible now.

I've found several about Star Wars. I gave one to my son-in-law this year. But I agree they're not easy to find. Most commercial greeting cards aren't worth the money.

I got a similar front page on my print edition (not in the NY metropolitan area).
