  1. Go look it up. Coz Fox aint gonna tell you…The House Dems have over 400 more bills that help Americans just like YOU, sitting for MONTHS now on Mitch McConnell’s desk, waiting for the do nothing Gop senate to sign… Yeah..all that work was done without a lot of noise and fanfare for YOU too, Trump voters… while the House Dems were also impeaching this lying traitorous con artist in the WH. So, How much do YOU quietly get done in a day’s work ? VOTE FOR WHO WORKS FOR YOU.

    1. And if they vote for Trump, don’t look for help. When your loves ones start dying because they can’t afford it. This time his voter’s and republicans. Will have blood on their hand’s. Now watch their king at work.

    2. CD_ Promo They’re 400 partisan bills with socialist ideologies throughout. Democrats do nothing but waste time and our taxpayer money.

  2. Look at putin’s pooters in the comment section. NO ONE WITH A BRAIN IS VOTING FOR A REPUBLIKKKAN November 2020.

  3. Surprising that Trump didn’t mention corruption; it’s the one topic that he could speak about with absolute authority.

    1. That’s a good point…it was SO important to him with Ukraine wasn’t it? Or did I get that wrong somehow?

    2. hello or corruption of the election which again funds are there but not being written into the Senate legislation.

  4. Along with literally hundreds more bills, that McConnel has blocked in the Senate.
    The house have been doing their job for 3+ years.
    While the Senate has been doing the trumps work…
    Check your voter registration. Make sure it is valid, and up to date for 2020. *VOTE*

  5. The Republicans at the SOTU looked amazingly like the Stalinist supporter groups who once wholeheartedly backed the ruthless dictator and were later slaughtered by the dictator in his purges. The Trump Castrati beware.

    1. @GORGEOUSGEORGE Little Maddie Gaetz was seated in the nosebleed section, out of handshake reach of the POTUS. He might as well have been in Siberia–he’s exiled as persona non grata in the Trump Castrati. No likelihood of rehabilitation anytime soon.

    2. judd442009 As the Democrats could not honor veterans, victims of terrorists or a child presented with a scholarship. Truly disgusting individuals.

  6. She is lovely, but that’s besides the point. She stands for very good things. She seems to be a very good person.

    1. Katie Porter is a hard working, clear minded, articulate advocate for policies worthy of endorsement across party lines.
      If others among her chair warmer colleagues had half of her work ethic, moral and intellectual rigour and commitment to ideals, the country could be quickly strengthened and transformed to the benefit of all.
      She’s a real gem. All power to her.

  7. Good on ya Porter… a little who gets the responsibility of her position… and the power & people behind the needs that she must get fulfilled

    1. The whole dam white house and Republican. Need to be not voted out. But draged by their feet and stomped. Dam traitors

    1. Yes she is ! The progressive voices in the Democratic party are taking control as the American people are tired of Oligarc liars in the GOP

  8. He uses everything for SOUND BYTES ONLY. Katie Porter is a Brilliant, shining star among freshmen democrats. Love listening to her in hearings, awesome critical thinker.

    1. Missing the reality of the actual culprit of the Opioid problem. It is the street drugs not the doctors and patients who are attacked. Punished and KILLED. With falsified studies !!

  9. This woman should have been one of the house impeachment managers. She is articulate, concise, and has an engaging speaking style.

    1. TooltheWetSprocket Wouldn’t have changed the fact that there was ZERO evidence produced by Schiff’s 18 witnesses.

  10. Any time Rep. Porter speaks, everyone should listen. She is the kind of servant leader all too rare these days.
