SOTU Tuesday Final Word with Full Speech

Everybody’s tabbing at me … I can’t hear a link they’re clicking …

Ed: We’re spending the evening live-blogging, so I won’t get too much commentary in tonight. However, I think it will be fun to capture some of the more amusing moments, emotional scenes, and sharp commentary here. Some of this will be in the live blog too, but it wiill be easy for that to get lost in the shuffle. This amusing and snide shot from the White House is a great place to start!

Ed: He’s a total clown. Let’s hope redistricting leaves him without a chair when the music stops.

the men’s hockey team has just entered the chamber through the press gallery.

Most Dems are standing for this.

Ed: MOST Dems? Come on, man. They couldn’t all stand for the Olympic gold medal American team?

Ed: For my money, this was an even better moment than the US Olympic men’s hockey team’s entrance.

democrats, the party of the working man, refused to cheer a working mom who is saving thousands through no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and a expanded childcare credit. Way to go Democrats.

Fetterman is the only Democrat who shook hands with President Trump pic.twitter.com/RFVNAsoPPB

Ed: Fetterman is a class act. He’s honoring the will of the people. His fellow Democrats are still trying to pretend that Trump didn’t win the election. 

===

Timing the USA hockey team’s entrance to the exact moment Trump called them out is the kind of unscripted American moment that cuts through every focus group.

Pure gold. Literally. #SOTU2026pic.twitter.com/OoC0o1USIb

Ed: Indeed. It was a layup, and Trump aced it.

Democrats’ State of the Union boycotts are going well:

“There are probably 75 people in this crowd, and I would say 35 of them are reporters.”

Ed: The only real “boycott” of a SOTU is to simply not watch it. Hate-watching it or hate-counterprogramming it don’t count. 

===

“Go Trump! Hey, Murphy, you’re a scumbag.”

A patriot just crashed the stage at Chris Murphy’s protest outside the State of the Union. 🤣pic.twitter.com/1kN3qYSqhR

Ed: Hey, we tried to warn the Left about norms. We’ll play by their rules if they prefer. 

===

🚨 LMFAO! Leftists have gathered at a State of the Union watch party near the White House to collectively “BOO” President Trump while he speaks

They’re ALREADY doing it every time he or Vance come up on the screen

Democrats are NOT serious people 🤣

Ed: Still crying about the election!

President Trump: “YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!”

Foreign operative Congresswoman Ilhan Omar: *Shouts nonsense*

Republicans: “USA! USA! USA!” pic.twitter.com/HQ5nxgHuyC

Ed: Omar was shouting, “You’re killing Americans!” That’s a reference to the Pretti and Good shootings in Omar’s district, both of which took place when the two deceased people attempted to obstruct ICE agents.

Ed: Oh, we’ll hear plenty about both … being heroic and speaking truth to power, blah blah blah.

This line of attack on transgender ideology is actually a huge part of why Trump won in 2024. As simple as calling it “crazy.” https://t.co/k5XGHSW4ah

— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) February 25, 2026

Ed: Democrats keep trying to tell themselves that Trump isn’t legitimate, and so they can’t figure out why he won. 

===

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just CHECKMATED Democrats in the House chamber

He asked members of Congress to STAND UP if they believe it’s the duty of the US government to protect American citizens over illegals…

AND PRACTICALLY ALL DEMOCRATS STAYED SITTING

“You should be… pic.twitter.com/KyrPqFMRqj

Ed: Lots of people think this was the worst moment in the speech for Democrats. They’re wrong.

===

The Democrats’ policies are directly responsible for this, and they can’t even stand to honor a young woman that was brutally murdered.

“How do you not stand?” pic.twitter.com/BbSzr5XwT0

Ed: THIS was the worst moment in the speech for Democrats.
