A second Democrat has departed President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address, as he continued to outline various policies he wants to see Congress pass.

"Representative Lauren Underwood, Democrat of Illinois, has walked out," reported Annie Karni of The New York Times.

President Donald Trump appeared to stare down the Supreme Court justices who attended his State of the Union address on Tuesday as he discussed their recent ruling on his tariffs.

Last Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump's signature tariff regime was illegal. Conservative justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, both of whom attended the SOTU speech, ruled against Trump in the case.

President Donald Trump may have blown out his microphone while yelling during his State of the Union address, according to a report.

"Trump raised his voice so much as he introduced the hockey team that it appeared to blow out the microphone in front of him," Chris Cameron of The New York Times reported. "The feed carried to CNN, MS Now and Fox News had garbled audio as he introduced the team."

As President Donald Trump geared up to deliver what is expected to be his longest State of the Union Address ever, members of Congress were reportedly preparing for it too — with blankets and pillows.

According to Politico, "Some lawmakers were spotted on the House floor with blankets and lumbar pillows for a long night of sitting. One GOP senator joked that they brought a jacket in case they needed to fall asleep if the speech went long — though they also acknowledged that will be next to impossible with Trump speaking."

A top Democrat in the House of Representatives fact-checked President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday in real time.

During the speech, Trump claimed that inflation has come down to the lowest point since he became president last year. He also repeated one of his favorite phrases that America is the "hottest country" right now.

President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address got off to a drama-filled start as Rep. Al Green (D-TX) held up a sign saying "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES" — a reference to a racist post Trump promoted on his Truth Social platform earlier this month — and then exited after being harassed by Republicans.

Trump supporters fumed over the protest by Green, who routinely introduces impeachment resolutions against the president in the House, and attacked him on social media.

Republicans cheered as a Texas Democrat was escorted out of President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech on Tuesday night.

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was escorted out of Trump's speech after holding a sign that read "Black people aren't apes," in reference to a video Trump shared on social media depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, as monkeys. A couple of lawmakers tried to snatch the sign from him before the speech began.

President Donald Trump no longer even cares if the Republican Party gets blown out in the midterms, MS NOW's Chris Hayes argued in a panel leading up to the president's first State of the Union Address of his second term.

Or at least, Hayes said, he doesn't care about it to the extent that it isn't a personal problem for himself.
