President Joe Biden will deliver his first official state of the union Tuesday night, with a House chamber full and masks optional.

It’ll be an attempt to energize voters as the midterms loom, and to balance his domestic economic priorities with remarks on Russia’s continued attack on Ukraine.

Planned protests, most notably trucker convoys mimicking those in Canada, seem to have fizzled out somewhat. The Capitol building is still ringed in protective fencing “out of an abundance of caution,” according to Capitol Police.

  1. Nice words on Ukraine. “Putin was wrong. We were ready.” Nice. Might I also suggest Biden add: “We will prevail. Ukraine will be free.”

  2. After the gop rebuttal speech, the democrats should respond with a replay of Zelenskyy’s EU Parliament address.

  3. with a House chamber full and masks optional.

    …and this morning four critters tested positive. What could go wrong?

  4. “Where are the trucks!? Where are the trucks!?” an organizer — the MMA fighter and Maryland gubernatorial candidate Kyle Sefcik — yelled, before complaining that he’d lost money on the event.

    So it was a for-profit protest? Were they charging the protesters? No wonder they didn’t come…and fuel costs too…

  5. More likely he’s got a ballpark donation per headcount number. Eg, expect to raise $5k per 1000 attendees. When you’re looking at attendance you can count on the fingers of one asshole, you’re not making money.
