"Fox: 'Speaker Mike Johnson says he expects both the men’s and women’s gold medal winning hockey teams to attend State of the Union tomorrow night.'

… But the women’s team politely declined. A spokesperson for the US women's hockey team said the players are unable to attend 'due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments.'"

It's fine to only be proud of the women's team.

"… Expect the men’s team to be there. Also expect Trump to take credit for their win while using them as political props. Many of them appear to be Trump supporters, so they probably won’t care."

"The women politely alerted the White House they would not be accepting any invitations to the State of the Union, because apparently they have a firm grip of what the state of our union really is right now.

And that important statement resonates far more loudly than any meaningless 'U-S-A ... U-S-A' chant ever will."

'U-S-A ... U-S-A!'

It's about time actions, not nationalistic chants, speak for this roiling nation ...
