Tonight is President Biden's first State of the Union address. It is also the kick-off to the midterm elections with the Texas primary. The two events don't seem to have any connection other than that they are both potentially very consequential.
I'll be watching live and posting thoughts about it all, including the Fox News reaction, though I think we can pretty much guess that Fox will call Biden weak, incompetent, senile, bad for the economy, hated by voters and the cause of Russia's invasion into Ukraine. I would not be surprised if Mr. Putin-lover Trump didn't call in with his "analysis."
Anyway, post any thoughts and observations you'd care to share below, in our comments section.

Marge, my guess is that Biden didn’t want to be so overtly partisan in the SOTU.
But I must say I wish Biden and the Dems would put the same passion and purpose into saving our democracy as they do into saving Ukraine’s.

Unless I missed it, I wish Biden had contrasted the Ukranian people fighting for their democracy against factions in this country trying to tear it down.
Wish the boy with diabetes had been from WEST Virginia…
Liked how he shook the hand of the man in front of him, forget that fellas name. Shows more class and maturity than half of the people in the audience and we know which half that is.

Agree absolutely, Ellen. Very wise of Joe to make it all Positive and Positive, and for the Democrats to act as a solid cheer squad.

I thought it was an excellent speech. And with that, I’m going to have to go to bed.

Seriously, I can’t remember seeing Nancy Pelosi looking so happy.

Re TX primary: Greg Abbott and Beto O’Rourke won. Slimebag AG Ken Paxton will probably have a runoff. Lt. Gov. “Suicide” Dan Patrick won, probably without runoff.

Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton look so disgustingly solemn as Biden calls for allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Disgusting.
But there was loud applause from, presumably, the Dems.

I think all the cheering in the audience is a smart move.

Nancy Pelosi looks really stoked. Quite a contrast to her look when she sat behind TFG.

In preview, Fox reporter Kevin Corke said the newly re-erected fence around the WH is a “reminder of the gross over-reaction” to Jan. 6th.
