Join Zeteo’s LIVE State of the Union Coverage!
Mehdi and Team Zeteo will be coming to you tonight with live reactions and real-time analysis of Trump’s State of the Union Address, on both Substack and YouTube.
If you’re dreading Trump’s State of the Union Address, you’re not alone. But instead of watching his insane ramblings alone, you can join Zeteo for live coverage on YouTube and Substack all night long!
We’ll be kicking off at 7pm ET (4pm PT) with Mehdi’s very own “State of the Swamp” speech at the National Press Club. You’ll also hear from speakers like Olivia Troye and Jim Acosta at that event, organized by former Trump official turned Trump critic Miles Taylor, before we kick off our own Zeteo pre-game analysis at 8:30 pm ET (5:30pm PT).
At that time, Mehdi will be joined by Prem Thakker and Zeteo contributor Francesca Fiorentini to live-react to Trump’s speech, which is set to start around 9pm ET (6pm PT). Yes, you can watch it with them LIVE!
Asawin Suebsaeng and Zeteo columnist John Harwood will also bring their expert analysis to the conversation, and we’ll also be live-reacting to the Democratic rebuttal set to be delivered by Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger.
It’s a night you won’t want to miss! Come laugh, cry, rant and rave with Team Zeteo.
Catch up on some of Zeteo’s latest stories:
I will boycott any event you host that includes Francesca Fiorentini. Ms. Fiorentini routinely refers to white women as “Karens,” has criticized the appearance of white women in general, and has accused, without proof, white women of benefiting more from affirmative action than any other protected class. (For this last assertion, she appears to have relied on an AI summary of a USA Today article that inaccurately conflates the enforcement of anti discrimination civil rights laws with affirmative action. Regardless, why would anyone who supports civil rights single out any protected group for criticism for having benefited from civil rights laws)? As a civil rights attorney, I realize that accusations of racism and sexism should not be lightly made. But Ms. Fiorentini’s statements would likely be criticized if made against any other class of persons.
Ms. Fiorentini has made some of her slurs against white wimen on previous Zeteo posts. I acknowledge that they’re no doubt popular with certain audiences, just as MAGA bigotry resonates with certain audiences. It’s profitable. Her repeated appearances on Zeteo make me question my subscription. Why would it tolerate bigotry against a certain class of persons? Does it share that bigotry? (And she’s not even funny — just nasty).
