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
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.

No one is coming to save us. Join with us.
| The world is a pretty dark place right now. Economic inequality off the charts. The climate emergency. Supreme Court corruption in the U.S. and corporate capture worldwide. Democracy in many nations coming apart at the seams. Fascism threatens. It’s enough to make you wish for some powerful being to come along and save us. But the truth is this: no heroes are coming to save us. The only path to real and progressive change is when well-informed, well-intentioned people—fed up with being kicked around by the rich, the powerful, and the wicked—get organized and fight for the better world we all deserve. That’s why we created Common Dreams. We cover the issues that corporate media never will and lift up voices others would rather keep silent. But this people-powered media model can only survive with the support of readers like you. Can you join with us and donate right now to Common Dreams’ Mid-Year Campaign? |
