A prominent House Democrat erupted on Tuesday night after President Donald Trump lied about the Somali community during his State of the Union address.

"When it comes to the corruption that has been plundering America, there is no more stunning example than what's been happening in Minnesota," Trump said, referring to a years-old investigation into social services fraud in the state. Since 2018, the Department of Justice has charged more than 90 people and secured 60 convictions for social services fraud, according to a report.

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.

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.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board ripped President Donald Trump's Food and Drug Administration leader in a new editorial on Tuesday.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said Monday that his office is pursuing a new way to provide more flexible reviews of drugs used to treat rare diseases. However, the Journal's editors argued that the idea seems to fly in the face of the FDA's mission.
