Last night’s State of the Union speech was the logical conclusion of populism: a series of misleading lies and fear-mongering dressed up as theatrical spectacle that aimed to show one team “winning” rather than the serious business of governing and improving people’s lives.

Trump pushes an Orwellian lie about how "we will always protect patients with preexisting conditions." (His health care bill would've stripped coverage from 20+ million people.)

Rush Limbaugh's most infamous act was calling a young grad student a slut for testifying in favor of contraceptive coverage. A terrible diagnosis does not erase a lifetime of racism, homophobia and misogyny. A sick man deserves healthcare; a bigot does not a medal of honor.
