The State of the Union: Trump, Abrams, and Sanders Address the Nation
The president was followed by the Democratic rebuttal and then a response from the Independent from Vermont
Feb 04, 2019
Just in case you missed any of these.
President Donald Trump delivered his second State of the Union address on Tuesday night. It was, according to progressives, very bad.
Watch:
Following the president's address, 2018 gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams of Georgia delivered the official Democratic Party rebuttal. It was, according to Democrats and progressives, very good.
Watch:
After Abrams' rebuttal, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)--as he did following Trump's first speech to a joint session of Congress in 2017 as well as last year's State of the Union--delivered a response via live stream. Democrats and progressives thought it was pretty good, too.
Watch:
An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
