🚨 U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) announced on February 22 2026, via X and other platforms that he would boycott President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address. In a viral post, he stated: “Trump is marching America towards fascism, and I refuse to normalize his shredding of our Constitution & democracy. This cannot be business as usual.” The declaration came amid plans by at least a dozen Democratic lawmakers to skip the speech and join a “People’s State of the Union” counter-rally on the National Mall, organized by progressive groups like MoveOn and MeidasTouch. Van Hollen highlighted concerns over Trump’s immigration enforcement, attacks on federal workers, alleged self-enrichment, and broader constitutional violations.
