This was awful and terrifying. It will also, along with his tax bill, prevent him from being impeached

Church … family … police … military … the national anthem … Trump trying to call on all the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. The goal of this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for. #SOTU

This speech was meant to vilify immigrants, promote privatization of infrastructure, and stoke anti-Korean anger in Christians. Great work, everyone. Great work.

This speech is going to have a measurable impact on Trump's favorability and popularity. He's saying exactly what people want to hear.

Joe Manchin stands and applauds for the "Motor City revving again." Debbie Stabenow looks up at him and says "what does that even mean?" Patty Murray, seated next to her: "I don't know."

Government regulation of business divides the public: 50% say it's necessary to protect public interest; 45% say usually does more harm than good. Wide partisan divides. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/TcAYS4rCZv

If I’m Donald Trump, “remove federal employees who undermine the public trust” is not a sentence I use.

Trump boasts that the the black unemployment rate has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded. That's great.

Under Obama, it fell from a peak of 16.8 %to 7.8%, and since Trump's inauguration, it's fallen to 6.8%. And let's not forget that Janet Yellen deserves a lot of credit. pic.twitter.com/Il3xyGm3u7

In the spirit of fairness, let's acknowledge that it's a good thing that Trump endorsed the general ideas of spending on vocational training and paid family leave.

And let's check back in a year to see how far those proposals got.

Darren Osborne, the man on trial for the attack at Finsbury Park mosque, claims that he wasn’t driving the van at the time of the attack, he was in the footwell at the time. And that the van was driven by a bloke called 'Dave' whose surname he doesn't know.

This is his defence.
