Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger delivers the Democratic response to the President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union Address. <...> [Our] President has sent poorly trained federal agents into our cities where they have arrested & detained American citizens & people who aspire to be Americans....They have sent children...to far off detention centers, & they have killed American citizens in our streets, & they have done it all with their faces masked from accountability. <...> [Trump] continues to cede economic power & technological strength to Russia, bow down to China, bow down to a Russian dictator, & make plans for war with Iran.... [With] DOGE, mass firings, & the appointment of deeply unserious people to our nation’s most serious positions, [DJT] has endangered the long and storied history of the United States of America being a force for good. <...> In his speech tonight, the president did what he always does. He lied... [You] have to ask who benefits from his rhetoric, policies, actions, [&] the short list of laws he’s pushed through this Republican Congress. Somebody must be benefiting. He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the cover-up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes & billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name & face on buildings all over our nation’s capital. This is not what our founders envisioned, not by a long shot. >> Source: C-SPAN
