"I think the State of the Union is very, very strong. I think it's getting better," says a caller from Arizona.

"I think the economy is on the way up. I like the fact that the border is shut down... I'm good with the price of gas right now."

Georgia voter says he's "very disappointed in the Democrats" for their complete lack of respect in the House Chamber last night.

"Probably one of the best speeches that will ever go down in history."

@RapidResponse

VP: "POTUS has been as crystal clear as he could be: Iran can't have a nuclear weapon... that is of course what we're trying to accomplish, as the president said, through the preferred route of diplomacy—but it's very simple. We have to get to a point where Iran, the largest state-sponsor of terrorism in the world cannot threaten the world with nuclear terrorism."

10-year-old student and AI advocate Everest Nevraumont, one of FLOTUS' guests at the State of the Union, on her favorite moment of the night:

"Probably getting to shake hands with Melania and get the photos. That was really amazing and such a great honor." 🥹

Lee Zeldin on Big Tech building their own power plants: "If we can structure these deals across the board where it's delivering that benefit to the rate payer in the local community, that's the way that we should be pursuing these buildouts."

@RapidResponse

"[No tax on tips] has been great! I actually just filed mine and got my tax return, so all of the money I have gotten back I've been able to put towards my school tuition."

"The 25,000 tax credit is a TOTAL GAME CHANGER!"

@CaseyMeans: "Today’s children are projected to live shorter, sicker lives than their parents. We spend trillions annually on reactive sick care. Nearly 150M Americans are on federal healthcare programs, and we spend $50B per year on research. Yet, outcomes are worsening and disparities are widening... This public health crisis is touching every American family. It is robbing our children of possibility, our workforce of productivity, and our nation of security... We must confront this epidemic through a vision grounded in science, dignity, shared humanity, and a respect for freedom, not politicization and division."

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt: "President Trump set the Democrats up in a trap and they fell right into it because they cannot help themselves. They truly stand on the side of the tens of millions of illegal aliens who they allowed to pour in... They truly stand on the side of career criminals."

@RapidResponse

Joni Ernst: “God bless President Donald J. Trump for this decisive action… he brought them to the table. They are the ones that refused to negotiate in good faith, and they knew what the outcome of their decision would be.”
