Consider This from NPR - Can democrats find their way out of the wilderness?
A hundred minutes — that's how long President Trump had the floor — literally — last night.
A hundred minutes he used to lay out his agenda, his grievances and what he argued are the accomplishments of his first six weeks in office.
This all came during his "joint address" to Congress — the State of the Union that's not a State of the Union.
Since Trump returned to office in January, there's been little room left for democrats to make their case to the American people.
Democratic moderates think they have an answer for Trump 2.0. What does their playbook look like?

Pod Save America - The State Of the Union Is … Long
Donald Trump makes history—by delivering the longest Joint Address ever, clocking in at an exhausting 99 minutes of blame, grievance, and sappy stunts. Jon, Lovett, Dan, and Tommy break down all the biggest—and weirdest—moments, from warning of a "disturbance" from the new tariffs, to invading Greenland and cutting off funding for transgender mice (yes, really). Plus, they debate how Rep. Al Green's protest will play, the strengths and weaknesses of Sen. Elissa Slotkin's rebuttal, and what Democrats should do now.
