1. In this thread, I will collect all the statements of Republicans calling on Donald Trump to drop out of the race since he is now a convicted felon.

Last night, the state of the State Of The Union was strong.

If you want to know how the speech played with base Democrats in a battleground state, this about sums it up: halfway through the speech, Portage County Democratic Party co-chair Gary Hawley leaned over to me and said, “He doesn’t seem like an old guy. He seems like a fighter.”

Millions of Americans were thinking the same thing. Trump was probably thinking it too—which is why he was posting so furiously that Truth Social kept collapsing.

This was the unfiltered reality-check moment that American politics needed.

If you were involved in organizing any of the State of the Union watch parties last night—thank you. That speech was even more energizing to watch in good company. I was in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, watching with county Democratic Party members at their office. After it was over, I asked folks there about moments that stood out. Here are a few:

• “Look, folks, we have a simple choice. We can fight about fixing the border, or we can fix it. I’m ready to fix it.”

• “No billionaire should pay a lower federal tax rate than a teacher, a sanitation worker or a nurse.”

• “If anyone here tries to cut Social Security or Medicare or raise the retirement age, I will stop you.”

• “I want to give public-school teachers a raise.”

• “You can’t love your country only when you win.”

• People really noticed how Republicans didn’t stand up for things that everyone should support. And they loved how Republicans stood for Biden’s tribute to John Lewis—and then Biden turned the tables: “If you truly want to honor him and all the heroes who marched with him… Pass the Freedom to Vote Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act!”

• The story about Kate Cox, the mother in Dallas who was denied a medically necessary abortion in Texas. The warning of a national abortion ban. Biden’s question: “My God, what freedom else would you take away?”

• And then the crystal-clear promise: “If you, the American people, send me a Congress that supports the right to choose, I promise you, I will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again.”

Beyond all these things, that room full of Democrats noticed Biden’s energy. His scrappiness. His readiness to take on his critics and make a difference for people.

Millions of people will need to work their hearts out for the next 241 days to defeat Trump and win another term for President Biden. Last night, those folks saw a champion, someone fighting for the causes they believe in. That’s exactly what this moment needed. Consider the moment met.

New Hampshire voter: "I voted for Nikki Haley, because that was voting against Donald Trump. I am 74 years old, I lived in a constitutional democracy all my life. I want to remain that way, I want my grandchildren to grow up in one, not a dictatorship."

Pro tip:

Costco is often the cheapest place to get prescriptions on GoodRx. If you have a patient that needs it to buy scripts, tell them they can go to Costco. They don’t need a membership to use the pharmacy, it’s illegal to have a membership service to a pharmacy.

I'll play along. 80b will fund your UBI for school age parents program? Let's do the math on a per child basis.

There are about 75m kids 17 and under, and 25m 0 - 5 yrs old. Do the parents of those kids under 5 get anything ? I'll presume not

So your 80b is allocated across 50m kids. That's 1600 per kid right? Per Year. Right $800 per semester ?

How do you think that $1600 gets spent?

But wait there's more.

Let's say parents are efficient buyers and schools go along with letting any child in. Do you think the best public schools will accept any child for $1600 ? Possibly over-flowing their schools? Requiring more local and state tax money to expand ?

And,I'm guessing your biggest donors will have something to say about who goes to their kid's school. My NIMBY-dar is strong on this one.

So let's pretend that parents and schools figure out some equilibrium and there are schools that will add the children for 1600.

Who is going to pay for make those schools bigger ? Do you think $1600 per additional child will cover the capital and ongoing expenses bill ?

How happy do you think taxpayers w no kids will be about that ?

But wait there is more... at first glance giving $1600 to parents may sound great, but the reality is not every parent can take their kids to school across town.

So now you have kids who can only go to the closest school with only 1600 per yr to contribute. But those same schools may have really needed the funds that the DOE offered them . That money is gone. And they are now getting just $1600 per student. Think that covers what they lost ? If not, what happens to the kids that go to those schools ?

Do your economics advisors believe that the long term cost to American taxpayers for kids that go to underperforming schools increase or decrease state and federal deficits ?

Just for clarification.

I think there is unlimited room for improvement in how we handle education in this country. I just think your approach is really dumb

PS. I did all this in about 30 minutes while watching the end of the Ole Miss Tulane game. It's a great game
