Obama going all Elizabeth Warren in SOTU: "But for far too long, lobbyists have rigged the tax code with loopholes"

Absolutely zero GOP applause for the community college/student loan section. #SOTU2015

If you tell community colleges that students will lose 100% of their grant if their grades drop, what happens to college grading?

Obama is having so much fun in this speech.

What Obama says tonight about new #Iran sanctions is crystal clear: A vote for sanctions is a vote for war. #SOTU #SOTU2015 @rezaaslan

Love this: the president calls out the GOP's "I'm not a scientist" bullshit on climate change. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/4ZfPNjbxJh

Marriage equality has progressed from a wedge issue that drove us apart to a story of freedom, legal in states that 7/10 Americans call home
— Valerie Jarrett (@vj44) January 21, 2015
Gay marriage is still a wedge issue—only it divides Republicans now, not Democrats. #SOTU
