Gov. Gavin Newsom: "Under Donald Trump:
GDP growth was down from 4.4% to 1.4% last quarter.
Unemployment is up.
Energy bills are up.
And Donald Trump is enforcing an illegal tax on the American people."

For who?
Grocery prices are up.
Rent is up.

Health care costs are up."

Justin Wolfers, about what Trump said in his #StateOfTheUnion speech:
"You can't fact check a firehose of nonsense. These are literally made up numbers. People have given up even expecting the truth any more."

Daniel Dale: "Pres. Trump, hosting a Board of Peace meeting at the US Institute of Peace building his administration has named for him, falsely claimed of the building:
1) 'It was built without anybody in mind.' It was custom-built for USIP.
2) 'Nobody occupied it.' It was occupied by USIP until the Trump administration locked out the organization last year."

"Americans Are Paying the Bill for Tariffs, Despite Trump’s Claims. Research from the New York Fed confirms that U.S. companies and consumers are bearing tariff costs, despite the president’s assertions otherwise":

"In a baffling address that even avowed allies called pointless on Wednesday night, Pres. Donald Trump bragged that he was 'bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast.' There’s just one teeny, tiny problem with that: Reality. The actual story of food prices and affordability in 2025 doesn’t really line up with Trump’s claims, according to November data":

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "Gee thanks, Donald. Your $1,776 'warrior checks' aren't Christmas bonuses—you're just stealing money out of a fund meant to help our troops find affordable housing. Once a conman always a conman."

Jesse Lee wrote this about the decision to broadcast Trump's speech live: "Networks should be ashamed, and it is hard not to imagine that they weren’t influenced by Trump’s bullying and threats. That said, Trump is not helping himself one single bit. He looks like a maniac, yelling at people that things are awesome no matter what they think."

Daniel Dale: "Pres. Trump repeated his oft-debunked lies tonight. Trump hasn’t settled 8 wars; he hasn't secured anything close to $18 trillion in investment; crime wasn’t anywhere close to record levels under Biden; Trump didn’t inherit anything close to the worst inflation in US history; nowhere close to 25 million migrants entered the US under Biden ..." Aaron Rupar: "Trump claims he’s cutting drug prices by 600 percent, which is not possible."
