Tonight: We’re going live for SOTU
Join the gang starting at 8:50pm ET.
Hello friends,
We hope you’ll join us tonight for the State of the Union livestream.
It may not be a joyful moment for the country, but it is an important one. With Donald Trump as unpopular as he’s ever been, we’ll have a full team watching along, offering context, observations, and fact checks.
Bulwark Live: SOTU will start at 8:50 p.m. ET on Substack and YouTube.
Sam Stein and Andrew Egger will kick off the night with a preview of the president’s remarks. Then the indefatigable Tim Miller will join the livestream and stick around during the speech to watch along with you all.
As the president concludes, the gang—Sarah Longwell, Catherine Rampell, Jonathan Cohn and more—will join the livestream with reactions and a drop-in chat with Pete Buttigieg.
We’ll be taking questions throughout, so leave them in the chat wherever you are watching. As always, we’ll be sure to post the replay to Bulwark Takes.
And for those of you who like a presidential speech with a side of Bingo, we’ve got you covered. Through this link you’ll find Bingo cards we’ve made especially for this community. There are no prizes except the glory of being first to get five in a row. In the live chat, be sure to let us know which terms you hear throughout the speech.
So grab a drink of choice and settle in for an evening with your pals at The Bulwark. Because the only way through is together.
—The Bulwark Gang
P.S— You can cast Bulwark Live to your TV from the Substack app or, if you have a smartTV with Google TV or the Apple TV set top box, use the new Substack TV App.




Can’t do it won’t do it. I’ll look for your recap.
The WH has said it will be a 3 hour speech. Sorry guys - can't watch. Will be at the alternative programming tonight.
