Paul #Krugman on the State of the Union #sotu "Well, that was exhausting — or would have been, if I had watched it. But I am not a masochist." 😀 https://open.substack.com/pub/paulkrugman/p/a-sotu-like-no-other

Why are the US #Democrats so absolutely #useless?
"Oh, we might skip the State of the Union address to show our displeasure with the administration."
Are you #morons? That would be a gift to Dear Leader and his #lickspittle #Congress. The #SOTU would be Mango Mussolini speaking to a friendly crowd, all happy, applauding, not a contrary expression to be seen. He'll be happy, smiling, at his most congenial as he basks in the warm glow. You do not do this.
What you do is attend. Every #Democratic #house member and #senator. Every staffer and guest that they're entitled to bring. Everyone. You put them all in their assigned places.
And then, when Trump gets up to speak, every single one of them simply turns away from the dictator. Turn their back to him, and *stay* that way for the whole speech. The #optics are great; the cameras show half the crowd with their backs to him, in obvious #protest. The #tyrant has to look at it all through his speech. He's angry. He's spiteful. He puts on a display for the ages, goes off-script, airing every #grievance his Swiss-cheese mind can dredge up. His body language is hostile. #Media coverage shows the event for what it actually is: a #vengeful, #lawless #authoritarian trying to verbally browbeat the legislative branch into submission.
#DNC, I'm available for consulting if you'd like.

Last week's #SOTU #response by #Katie #Britt contained a major #falsehood
And big name news outlets got beat to it by #Johnathan #Katz, a guy with a newsletter and a TikTok account
♦️Why didn’t the Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post, or any other news organization have this story?
♦️Would any of them have eventually fact-checked that portion of her speech?
♦️Would they have all just let it slide?It is a lot like what happened in 2022 as the story of then-Rep.-Elect #George #Santos began to unravel.
The Times reported on it, but missed it until after the election was over 💥and proceeded to get really irritated at the implication that the New York Times should do in-depth pre-election reporting on New York congressional races💥#readTPA. And follow @parkermolloy
PS Here is Katz's exposé on #TikTok

"Within minutes, [Johathan M.] Katz had figured out that #Britt was not talking about some newly traumatized child migrant but a fully grown anti-trafficking activist, Karla Jacinto Romero, whose abuse had happened entirely in #Mexico & more than a decade ago, so that it had nothing to do with the #US border or #Biden adminstration policy.
He shared his findings through his #TikTok "

On #KatieBritt's #SOTU response: "It was a difficult answer to take seriously. The full transcript of the senator’s comments is readily available, and it clearly shows #Britt, who recently opposed bipartisan border reforms, punctuating the story about Romero by condemning “President Biden’s border crisis.” One more thing: Not only did she oppose the bipartisan border reforms, they were the very ones she helped to negotiate until she heeded #Trump's call and blocked it.

...President #GeorgeWBush’s administration, ..."
[#SexTrafficking victim] #Romero also told #CNN that 👉#Britt told an inaccurate story of Romero’s experience.👈
Romero said that she was trafficked by a pimp who operated as part of a family that entrapped vulnerable girls to force them into prostitution, 👉not by #Mexican drug cartels.👈#Romero also said that 👉she was never trafficked in the United States, as Britt suggested.👈

#KatieBritt is a liar!

/s: I'm very much in favor of a new kind of #BrittAwards:
Which #MAGA politician's distortion of the truth holds the longest?
I'm sure, rookie #Senator #KatieBritt will not be among the nominees, though:/s
"During a #FoxNews interview on Sunday, #Britt defended her use of the graphic story and declined to clearly state that the incident in question 👉had not occurred during the #Biden administration.👈
...occurred during...

Faking up Katie #Britt on the cold open seemed almost a fait accompli, but who expected Scarlett J?

#Britt, #Pinocchio, and the #SOTU response.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Video of Sen. Katie Britt saying: "First of all, we see you. We hear you. And we stand with you." in the most terrifying breathy ASMR way that sounds stalkery and just creepy af.
