Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ok, so here we go... Trump's new joint address to Congress.

Here's how to watch:

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/04/donald-trump-congress-speech-how-to-watch-024384

"Trump’s address to Congress will begin Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. The speech will be broadcast on major television networks and available to stream on certain websites, including POLITICO."

So 6 PM Pacific Time.

Worth noting that like Biden's address to Congress in 2021, this isn't TECHNICALLY a "State of the Union" address, although it has a lot of the trappings of a State of the Union.

Typically the first address from a new President to Congress isn't called a "State of the Union."

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/why-trumps-joint-remarks-to-congress-wont-be-a-state-of-the-union-address

"According to the American Presidency Project, the impacts of these first-year speeches should be considered to have the same heft as the State of the Union addresses that follow in subsequent years. And, just like the State of the Union address, the opposing party to the one that occupies the White House gives a brief speech in response, which, like the president’s remarks, is televised. This year’s will be delivered by Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan."

"New Congressman from Eastern Washington..."

Eastern WA is pretty red. Dude would be Michael Baumgartner.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Baumgartner

WA5. The other guy on the East Side, WA4, doesn't look anything like him, Dan Newhouse.
