#Politicians and their #politics is mostly theater to common men. When US is suffering from massive #Inflation problems, massive debt problems, energy issues, border security issues they send 100s of billions to Ukraine, securing their borders.

Here’s a prev thread 🧵 on our #politicians and our #politics
President Joe Biden on guns: “Do something. That was the same plea of parents who lost their children in Uvalde: Do something on gun violence.
Thank God we did, passing the most sweeping gun safety law in three decades.” #StateOfTheUnionAddress
Thank God we did, passing the most sweeping gun safety law in three decades.” #StateOfTheUnionAddress
“That includes things that the majority of responsible gun owners support, like enhanced background checks for 18 to 21-year-olds and red flag laws keeping guns out of the hands of people who are a danger to themselves and others.
But we know our work is not done.”

“Joining us tonight is Brandon Tsay, a 26-year-old hero. Brandon put off his college dreams to stay by his mom’s side as she was dying from cancer. He now works at a dance studio started by his grandparents.”

@POTUS opens with a substantial commitment to bipartisanship. What agenda will he propose to break two years of gridlock?

10 million new small business applications as part of the effort to revitalize the national (and world) economy as part of the recovery from the COVID pandemic.
No note on the coordinated effort to generate inflation and a recession.

Tonight, @JoeBiden will be delivering the #StateOfTheUnionAddress. He will try & frame gun owners as problematic & firearms as more than tools of self-defense. He will try & frame gun control as a win, but we know better & GOA will fight every gun control proposal Biden proposes.
@JoeBiden .@JoeBiden starts his #StateOfTheUnionAddress by thanking @LeaderMcConnell for their "bipartisan victories," AKA the gun control McConnell helped get passed. 🙄
Republicans working with @JoeBiden to pass the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization is just one more examples of @SenateGOP negotiating your gun rights away!
NEW: Excerpts from @POTUS' #StateOfTheUnionAddress tonight —
"The story of America is a story of progress and resilience…We are the only country that has emerged from every crisis stronger than when we entered it. That is what we are doing again. Two years ago our economy...

... was reeling. As I stand here tonight, we have created a record 12 million new jobs – more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years. Two years ago, COVID had shut down our businesses, closed our schools, and robbed us of so much...
....Today, COVID no longer controls our lives. And two years ago, our democracy faced its greatest threat since the Civil War. Today, though bruised, our democracy remains unbowed and unbroken."

THREAD: Ahead of Biden's State of the Union address tonight, let's take a look at the state of the unborn in 2023

In June last year the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs, overturning the dated Roe v. Wade decision, returning the power to save lives from abortion to the people and their elected representatives -- at the state and federal level. 2/
Already this year, pro-life states have hit the ground running to advance measures that protect unborn lives & empower moms:
ALABAMA: Adoption reform
ARKANSAS: Safe-haven baby boxes; Ensure companies who pay for abortion travel also offer 16 weeks maternity leave 3/

THREAD: During tonight's #StateOfTheUnionAddress Biden will tell Americans a tragic and frightening, but deeply misleading story about post-Dobbs America – the idea that the pro-life movement is willing to let women die.
That is a blatant lie. 1/
That is a blatant lie. 1/
Let’s be very clear: every pro-life law in the country allows necessary and timely medical treatment to save the life of a pregnant woman in an emergency. 2/
In this @LozierInstitute video, Ingrid Skop, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., a board-certified OB/GYN refutes Democrats’ false claim that pro-life laws prevent doctors from intervening to save a pregnant woman’s life: 3/
NEW FROM @CBSNewsPoll: In a divided nation, Americans do agree on this: @POTUS Biden should talk about economy cbsnews.com/news/biden-eco…
What do Americans want to hear about? The economy and inflation. Lowering the latter is a high priority for so many. Immigration is especially important to Republicans who plan to watch, Democrats are more interested in hearing about addressing racism and climate change.
Democrats are far more likely to say they'll watch the #StateOfTheUnionAddress. Most who say they're very likely to watch already approve of his job performance.
REPORTER: How many stolen classified docs have been found at Biden properties?"
KJP: "I would refer you to the White House Counsel's Office"
REPORTER: They just declined to comment
KJP: "Well, there you go. You got your answer."
THATS YOUR DEMOCRACY

For months we saw approval ratings of @POTUS shrink & a Red wave was predicted by poll pandits. What followed aftermath is real game changer. #JoeBiden’s tough stance on #Russia, imposing sanctions, undivided support to #Ukraine might go well with Dems in upcoming midterms. #SOTU
@POTUS’s #StateOfTheUnionAddress clearly hints at Democrats pushing Russia-Ukraine as their agenda in the midterms.
A sizeable European & #Ukraine population reside in key battleground states (Ohio has country's 5th-highest population of Ukrainians) who can swing this election

But its not going to be a cake walk. A Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey found 37% of Americans were confident in the administration's ability to effectively counter Russia, while 63% said they were not confident. Long road ahead for #Democrats
