My mom grew up picking cotton in the 1950s. Yesterday, she waited in line to once again pick her son to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. We’ve come a long way, but the work isn’t done!

Please vote, Georgia 🗳

We can protect the Second Amendment and protect second graders at the same time.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Republicans in June: "It's not an abortion ban; it's sending the issue to the states."

*States all over the country organize to protect access to abortion*

Republicans now: "Elect us and we will pass a nationwide abortion ban."

There it is. VOTE like your rights depend on it.

[Michael Keating @mbkeating]

I would like to address the committee that decided my car should be called a “Plug-in Hybrid”. It’s like calling a leather jacket a “Cow Cardigan.”

[sam @sam_d_1995]

we should really just make it illegal to drive those obnoxiously loud modified cars/motorbikes

literally no good reason for them to exist. the noise pollution is a huge externality that forces everyone else to suffer

[sunaina @sunaina]

@rabois what does being "woke" have to do with this?

[Brian Deese Archived @briandeeseNEC]

Many people don’t realize this, but because of historically strong economic growth & policy choices, the deficit last year actually fell. By $360bn.

AND

Maybe even more surprising, we're on track to see the federal deficit fall by >$1T this yr, the largest nominal decline ever.

yo people are literally getting murdered in ukraine, i think a couple bucks of extra gas cost is the least we could do

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

We're banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy.

That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at U.S. ports and the American people will deal another powerful blow to Putin.

[NIMBY Patrol @NimbyPatrol]

I don't understand the appeal of a Tesla, why would you drive yourself around in a $80k car... When you could have someone else drive you around in an electric $500k mega SUV limo that has access to VIP street lanes?

[Alexey Navalny @navalny]

1/12 We - Russia - want to be a nation of peace. Alas, few people would call us that now.

SOTU topics: war in ukraine, semiconductors, US manufacturing, infrastructure, policing, veteran health, cancer research, list goes on
republican rebuttal topic: masks

[sunaina @sunaina]

@kapskom I generally agree that America should own up to this, but not sure the SOTU has ever been the forum for atonement of decades old sins. By definition it's a "status update" on current policy objectives.
At least Biden acknowledged that the US failed in Afghanistan...

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

I am very, very grateful Joe Biden is our president in these challenging times.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Trans kids and their families should be celebrated - not targeted by the state!

They are heroes. This order is a direct assault on their wellbeing.

To fearful families in Texas right now - California’s door is always open to you.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Joe Manchin voted for Neil Gorsuch after Mitch McConnell made up non-existent Senate rule to block Merrick Garland 8 months before election then killed filibuster to confirm Gorsuch. So spare us the nonsense about preserving Senate traditions

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

When I took office, our economy was on the brink of collapse.

Now, Americans have more money in their pockets than before the pandemic, and retail sales were up 8.5% compared to last holiday season.
