The theme of Trump's address to Congress is "Renewal of the American Dream." President Donald Trump is addressing a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, six weeks into his historic return to the White House. The speech comes after markets tumbled following Trump's steep tariffs on key U.S. trading partners. Meanwhile, his administration could sign a mineral deal with Ukraine as soon as today after a tumultuous Oval Office meeting last week between Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I'm sitting in the House chamber right above Trump, and the split screen in front of me is remarkable.

Elon Musk shared a chart on X and said he found millions of people in a Social Security database over the age of 110, including 1 who was in the 360-369 age bracket. The acting Social Security commissioner said that people older than 100 who do not have a date of death associated with their Social Security record “are not necessarily receiving benefits.” Recent Social Security Administration data shows that about 89,000 people aged 99 and older receive Social Security payments. Government databases may classify someone as 150 years old for reasons peculiar to the complex Social Security database or because of missing data, but that doesn’t mean that millions of payments are delivered fraudulently to people with implausible ages. — Aaron Sharockman, PolitiFact Trump just promised to "reverse the damage" of the Biden economic agenda and "make America affordable again," and blames the former president for letting the prices of eggs "get out of control."

The estimate was lower than any ICS score during the 2024 election. Trump is reading from a list of what he alleges is "waste, fraud and abuse" identified by DOGE so far. He claimed millions were being spent on "making mice transgender" or for the "Arab Sesame Street" in the Middle East. Republicans either laughed or booed at some of the items he listed.
