State of the Union

President Trump gave the country’s semiquincentennial progress report last night.

In his record-breaking 1 hour 47 minute State of the Union address, #47 touted lower inflation, a declining murder rate, his “peace through strength” foreign policy approach, ICE’s immigration crackdown, and much more (watch). Half the room stood and cheered (a lot).

The crowd at the Capitol, which featured the golden U.S. men’s hockey team, was light on Democrats—many of whom walked out or attended counterprogramming in protest. Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was removed for holding a sign that read “Black people aren’t apes!”

Dems tapped Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger to deliver the rebuttal in English and Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) en Español; they criticized President Trump’s handling of the economy, the Epstein files, ICE raids, and more.

Verses to consider whether you’re feeling like the state of your own life is full of good news, hard news, or the confusing in-between… “The LORD—​the LORD is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth,  maintaining faithful love to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, rebellion, and sin.” 
Exodus 34:6-7 (CSB) (read full passage)
