Trump’s ICE released more criminals than Biden’s because they prioritized locking up asylum seekers over detaining migrants convicted of crimes. Sending troops to the border won’t make us safer — but focusing on real problems instead of distractions will. Morning Joe

At the 2018 NATO summit, I ran into a former advisor for Dmitry Medvedev and I asked him what Moscow thought of Trump. “To us he looks like a wrecking ball, our wrecking ball.” This line has been screaming in my head for the last week. pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…

The bullies have won and the dorks are sitting there with dorky signs that say “false.” That’ll show them.

I understand the respect for decorum, and the idea that elected people should listen when the president comes to the chamber to speak. But this speech is beneath the dignity of any reasonable person listening to it .

.U.S. Representative Al Green after being removed from Joint Session of Congress: "I'll accept the punishment. It's worth it to let people know that there's some of us who are going to stand up to against this president's desire to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security."

Something so fundamentally un-American about allowing really rich people to buy citizenship to our country. Oh well. Elect billionaires to run your country; expect them to look out for fellow billionaires, including foreign ones.

They’re lying to you. No tax on tips and no tax on overtime are nowhere in the GOP’s budget. The only thing they’re fighting for is cutting YOUR benefits to hand billionaires another tax break.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump can brag all he wants about corporations announcing business investments, but the stock market speaks for itself. And it's below election day levels.

Tariffs protect some at the expense of many others. Trump’s first steel tariffs cost more jobs and production in the manufacturing sector overall than gained in steel production. Tariffs aren’t a recipe for broad gains, but instead broad losses with redistribution to some.

The best argument for the Democrats to have walked out, is that the whole purpose of this is for Trump and the Republicans to troll the Democrats sitting there. Democrats should attend the state of the union. They are not required to attend rallies.

In this climate, clarity is rare. Truth is often distorted. And plainspoken honesty—delivered with moral clarity and intellectual rigor—is a radical act.
