I'm seeing the names released of the guests of Congresspeople.
Senate
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-California) -- air traffic control specialist Trisha Pesiri-Dybvik, who lost her home in the 2017 Thomas Fire and was furloughed during the government shutdown
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) -- Nicole Smith-Holt, mother of Alec Smith who died from diabetic ketoacidosis because he couldn't afford his insulin prescription
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) -- Lt. Cmdr. Blake Dremann, a transgender service member and the president of a transgender military advocacy organization
House of Representatives
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) -- Ana Maria Archila, one of two women who confronted former Sen. Jeff Flake in a Capitol elevator last year over his support for then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Archila is also the co-executive director of an organization that promotes progressive politics. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) -- Linda Clark, a Liberian immigrant facing deportation due to Trump's decision to revoke DED protections. She has lived here over 18 years.

I am liking those guests. I don't think I can stomach listening to him speak. But I do want to listen to Abrams response.

I don't think I have the mental and emotional wherewithal to watch Trump tonight. Thankfully I have to decorate a cake for my boss so that will keep me kitchen-bound most of the evening. Might be a good night to test out those noise cancelling headphones H got me for Christmas.
Here for Stacey Abrams, though.

I'm getting pissed just reading the "unity speech" excerpts on Twitter.
Like go fuck yourself with this:
"The agenda I will lay out this evening is not a Republican Agenda or a Democrat Agenda. It is the agenda of the American People."

I’m in a mood. I caught DS’s sore throat headache thing and feel like poop. I think I might be pms’ing too because everything is making me emotional. I’ve been given permission to go to bed now and I’m trying to decide how to time my NyQuil. I may just sleep through this mess.

Do you think 45 picked him so that, just in case, 45 wouldn't be the dumbest president in history anymore?

ETA: These designated survivor tweets are killing me. I completely forgot about Rick Perry. That's probably good for him? No scandals, leaks, etc.
