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!

@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.

"Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict, gets us nowhere," says Biden. #SOTU
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
