John,

I wanted you to hear it from me directly:

I’m boycotting Trump’s State of the Union on Tuesday.

And I wanted you to know exactly why.

This isn’t a decision I made lightly. I’ve never skipped a State of the
Union address before, under Democratic or Republican presidents. No matter
what they did.

But Donald Trump is destroying the very fabric of this country and turning
it into something that is not a democracy.

This is something I cannot and will not abide.

He’s spent the first year of this term making lives worse for Americans.
Slashing health care, sending masked ICE agents to murder our neighbors,
and passing tax cuts for the rich, all while he corruptly cashes in for
himself.

He violates the law, ignores court orders, tries to silence his
opposition, and shows nothing but contempt for our Constitution.

This is intolerable, and I will not act as if this SOTU is like any other.
Because the State of Our Union is in desperate trouble. And I will not
give Donald Trump the attention he craves, or stand and applaud his many
lies to the American people.

Instead, I will be in front of the Capitol, speaking to the public, along
with many of my Senate colleagues. We will make a very different kind of
address at the People’s State of the Union this Tuesday at 8 pm Eastern.

We cannot treat this State of the Union like business as usual. Because it
isn’t.

More from me soon,

Adam
