This is true. But don't begrudge people the opportunity to point out this was both nuts and frightening--and that Trump set an indoor world record for lying.
the occasional reminder that if you are watching and live-posting about a presidential address, the way you engage with politics is notably atypical from that of, say, the average persuadable or low-propensity voter

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

I made it four minutes into the president’s address to the nation before I turned it off. There is nothing he could say besides “this evening I am resigning as president” that would make me want to watch his speech.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Watching the NY Mayoral debate from my couch in Minnesota. I am paying close attention to this race as I believe it to be a “canary in a coal mine” election for the 2026 midterms.

Stephen Miller is a racist and fascist eager to take the administration down a dark path of mass deportations without due process.
He's Trump's playbook author feeding on hate and stoking fear against working Americans.

The “3.5% Rule” suggests that when a nonviolent movement achieves sustained participation from at least 3.5% of a population, it is extremely difficult for any government to suppress it.
In the US, 11 million people need to show up and show out consistently.
I believe it is possible.
