Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the presidentโs โconstitutional rightโ to deport people.
Best line of the night from Fanone: โJim, I love youโฆ but f*ck you for making me watch that.โ From the post-speech edition of โThe Jim Acosta Show.โ open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
UpdateโDemocrats: Forget the signs. Call out the truth. Get loud. Take a stand. They kicked your colleague Rep. Al Green out for making his voice heard. Meet the moment. They would & have done this to you. Why are you rolling over & playing dead?
What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isnโt whether heโs 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?
Congressman Al Greenโs method of protest is compelling without a doubtโฆbut these signs I donโt think are effective.
They look polite and soft.
If youโre going to hold up a sign, make it big and bold โ or do what Al Green did.
People have been saying it looks like theyโre at an auction.
"We have to take care of our law enforcement," says Trump, standing inside the building where law enforcement were brutally attacked by a mob of his supporters that he sent to the Capitol.
Every Democrat that voted for Laken Riley Act to punish immigrants for the crime of one individual should hang their head in shame. No care for women who are dying due to overturning Roe v Wade, but go on. #StateOfTheUnion
โGive me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.โย
You have to look no further than the pedestal of Lady Liberty to see what defines America. Thatโs who we are.ย ย
This speech โ and this President โ is not who we are.
Democratic Rep. Norma Torres:
โI think Donald Trump tonight needs to tell Congress, why did you surrender your power to the richest man in the world?โ
Sam Alito gave cities more leeway to dump raw sewage into our water supply by deploying a sleight of hand so clumsy that it would fail to impress a kindergarten class.
This isn't statutory interpretation. It's a gut renovation of the Clean Water Act on behalf of polluters. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Democratic lawmakers are discussing a litany of options to protest Trump's speech to Congress tonight โ including through outright disruption.
Some members have told colleagues they may walk out of the chamber when Trump says specific lines they find objectionable. www.axios.com/2025/03/04/t...
Trumps desire to hurt Americans along with out allies makes NO sense. The only possible explanation is that Trump hates America and for reasons we cannot understand, he makes his decisions in order to please Putin
I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss!
Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.
Iโm headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trumpโs tariffs on Minnesota farmers.

Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isnโt made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.
Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.
Ten years ago, if someone told me that the United States would one day be an ally of Russia and fighting with Canada, I would have laughed.
But I guess the laugh is on the USA for electing someone so petty, venal, and stupid.
Tonight Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt.
Meanwhile my constituents are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by illegal actions.
What he is doing is not normal, it is not acceptable, and I won't be attending.

VoteVets brought Veterans directly impacted by Trump & Muskโs cuts to meet with members of Congress. Many were fired, some lost healthcareโbut theyโre fighting back. Grateful to the lawmakers standing with them and pushing for accountability.
Veteran Paul Rieckenhoff slams Trump for his treatment of President Zelenskyy, calling it โa politically calculated ambush.โ
He also points out that America is aligning itself with the bad guys, which weakens our national security and not where we want to be.
We need more like him to speak up!
