    ​Rep. Al Green

    He 'Understood the Assignment': Support for Al Green Pours In After Disruption of Trump Speech

    "Al Green stood up. Would like to see more people stand up," wrote Ezra Levin, the co-founder of the progressive group Indivisible.

    Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas is earning praise online after delivering perhaps the most dramatic moment of U.S. President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.

    Green interrupted the speech, shaking his cane at Trump and shouting that the president had "no mandate to cut Medicaid." He was led out of the chamber by the sergeant-at-arms after being told to sit down by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), as Republicans cheered. Speaking to reporters after he was escorted out, Green said that he was protesting Trump's efforts to cut federal government programs, including Medicaid, according to The Hill.

    U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

    Working-Class Unity Key to Defeating Oligarchy, Says Sanders in Response to Trump SOTU

    "We can win. We will win," said the senator. "Let's go forward together."

    If working-class people in the United States were wondering why President Donald Trump had "very little to say about the REAL crises facing the working class of this country" in his State of the Union address, said U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders Tuesday night, they need look no further than the people Trump surrounded himself with at his inauguration in January.

    "Standing right behind him were the three wealthiest men in the country," said the Vermont Independent senator, naming billionaire mogul and "special government employee" Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. "And standing behind THEM were 13 other billionaires who Trump had nominated to head major government agencies. Many of these same billionaires—including Musk—were there tonight."

    Dems Should Not Attend Trump’s State of the Union But With Fury in Their Hearts

    Democrats should not signal to a nationally televised audience that what we’re living through is normal.

    Robert Reich
    Mar 04, 2025

    U.S. President Donald Trump is killing the economy, reducing the U.S. government to rubble, and destroying our relationships with our allies. Russian President Vladimir Putin may love it, but it’s a catastrophe for us and much of the rest of the world.

    Many of you ask me: Where’s the Democratic Party?
