Paul Pelosi, Tyre Nichols' parents, U2 star Bono, Monterey Park shooting hero Brandon Tsay, Ukraine's ambassador to the US Oksana Markarova and a Holocaust survivor are among those headed to the US Capitol Tuesday evening where President Joe Biden is set to deliver his State of the Union address.
Biden's remarks will both touch on key themes of his presidency and offer a preview of a 2024 reelection message. And the guest list for first lady Dr. Jill Biden's box offers a blueprint for what to expect.
The first lady's 26 guests represent key administration priorities and accomplishments like infrastructure, mental health, climate and health care. They also represent issues the administration has confronted in the past year: support for Ukraine in the face of Russian invasion, antisemitism, the overdose epidemic, support for same-sex marriage, increased political polarization, mass shootings, a renewed national conversation on justice in policing and women's reproductive health.
"Each of these individuals were invited by the White House because they personify issues or themes to be addressed by the President in his speech, or they embody the Biden-Harris Administration's policies at work for the American people," the office of the first lady said in a statement.
Here are the guests and the stories they represent:

The first lady also invited a well-known celebrity with philanthropic ties: Irish rock legend Bono. The cofounder of the ONE campaign, Bono also worked to build support for the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
Combating extremism and political violence
Biden has repeatedly sought to speak out against political violence, including a major speech on extremism and democracy one week before the midterm elections. Tuesday, the first lady is hosting former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul, who continues to recover from a politically motivated, violent attack at their California home. During the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, pro-Trump rioters searched for Nancy Pelosi and last fall, a male assailant attacked the then-speaker's husband with a hammer, shouting: "Where's Nancy?" -- a "similar chant of those responsible for the January 6th Capitol insurrection," the White House said.
What a freaking CIRCUS!
All that’s missing is Trini Lopez performing “If I had a Hammer.”
Was that mean-spirited?
Maybe Paul Pelosi will bring the kidnapped sex slave he had, you know , the one that hit him with the hammer, and of course Bono could give lessons to the world on how to run a Charity and expense 99% of it’s donations...

It might be a good idea to keep Paul Pelosi away from Pete Buttigieg.
Just saying’.
Assclown time.
That grifter and ambassador for the Globalists isn't a U.S. citizen.
He needs to refused entry to the building.
It’’s like the carnival is in town 😁
When Donald Trump held his SOTU address, he had ordinary Americans, like the victims of illegal aliens. My, how far we’ve fallen.
Can’t wait to miss it.
I read that the pre-circus dinner will be Chinese take-out.
Maybe they can bring in Nena to do 99 Luftballoons.
DC is where the circus is ALWAYS in town.
Boner, the tax evader.
Paul Pelosi attack was politically motivated? They’re using that incident as a metaphor for political violence? Do they expect us to take that seriously?
Perhaps he could just raise his hand.
I’d rather watch water boil, than the SOTU by the Manchurian Candidate.
When bidet starts bloviating each gop person should pop a balloon.
What a freaking CIRCUS!

Well, Joe has to follow the Grammys.
