Illinois Congresswoman Lauren Underwood gets a post-speech moment with Biden.

“We’re still working on getting the Momnibus to your desk. We’re not going to give up, sir,” Underwood tells the president.

In response Biden kisses her hand.

“Momnibus” = a package of legislation intended to boost maternity care and address disparities.

This was a high point.

Biden said Republicans may be coming for social security and medicare.

Republicans visibly & loudly denied it.

Biden then celebrated the fact that apparently, everyone agrees that those cuts are now off the table.

Great political instinct on his part.

Performance becomes politics!

Biden’s State Of The Union Was A Joyous MAGA Killer. Biden’s State Of The Union was full of optimism, bipartisanship, joy. It was the anti-MAGA. politicususa.com/2023/02/07/bi

@dcjohnson That was a hell of a SOTU speech. There were hecklers a few times, but Biden couldn’t be bullied and it just made them look like trash.

Watching Republicans refuse to applaud when Biden stated at his State of the Union that no billionaire should pay less in taxes than a school teacher, tells us everything that we need to know about the Republican Party.

I love that Republicans can't stand up for low unemployment and more jobs.

On the first day of Black History Month, the College Board announced it was removing dozens of intersectional, queer, and BLM-supporting Black authors from its AP African American Studies course. What are they so afraid of?

I love how Biden got the Republicans to loudly agree to not touch SS & Medicare.

"Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict, gets us nowhere," says Biden. #SOTU
