"One way or another, we바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to get it.바카라 게임 웹사이트Since his first term in office, Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally and a founding member of NATO. It is also home to a large U.S. military base.Video below: Trump has reiterated belief that Greenland should belong to the US10:50 p.m.Trump signed an executive order renaming a wildlife refuge for a young girl who prosecutors say was killed by two Venezuelan men in the country illegally.바카라 게임 웹사이트The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched our entire nation greatly," Trump said.Jocelyn Nungaray 바카라 게임 웹사이트s death was one of several cases last year that became flashpoints in the immigration debate. Prosecutors have charged two Venezuelan men who entered the U.S. illegally with capital murder. Nungaray바카라 게임 웹사이트s mother campaigned for Trump. She was in the audience Tuesday as Trump gave his address.Speaking of Jocelyn바카라 게임 웹사이트s love of animals, Trump said he decided to rename the wildlife refuge near her Houston home for her.10:48 p.m.바카라 게임 웹사이트I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body," Trump said.Trump has already used executive actions to roll back a series of Biden administration policies promoting transgender rights, and he has vowed to stamp out 바카라 게임 웹사이트gender ideology.바카라 게임 웹사이트During his speech, the president asked Congress to limit gender-affirming surgeries performed on minors, though he offered few details. Some of Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s executive actions, meanwhile, have already been met by legal challenges.10:45 p.m.바카라 게임 웹사이트Beautiful towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation and corruption like no one바카라 게임 웹사이트s ever seen before," Trump said. "Beautiful towns, destroyed.바카라 게임 웹사이트Both Springfield and Aurora figured in Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s campaign. At the time, he amplified false conspiracy theories that legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating dogs and cats.Aurora had a more serious issue: a series of incidents at rundown apartment complexes, one of which was captured on video that showed heavily armed men going door to door. But the buildings have since been closed.10:40 p.m.More than a dozen Democrats joined Republicans in a standing ovation for a guest of Trump, a child diagnosed with cancer who Trump said aspires to become a police officer. The child, named DJ, was held up by his father as Republicans and attendees in the House gallery chanted 바카라 게임 웹사이트DJ.바카라 게임 웹사이트Trump announced DJ would be sworn in by his new Secret Service director as a member of the force. DJ was held up by his father as he received a Secret Service badge by Director Sean Curran.Democrats then went largely silent as Trump discussed his health policies. Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib held up a whiteboard that read, 바카라 게임 웹사이트You cut cancer research.바카라 게임 웹사이트 One Republican shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트MAHA baby!바카라 게임 웹사이트Video below: 13-year-old cancer survivor made honorary member of US Secret Service10:35 p.m.Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas., first shouted 바카라 게임 웹사이트January 6th바카라 게임 웹사이트 as Trump recounted his plans for combatting crime throughout the country. At least a dozen Democrats joined in the repeated chant as Trump discussed the need to crack down on violent criminals.Trump pardoned around 1,500 rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, in a bid to overturn the results of the 2020 election.10:32 p.m.바카라 게임 웹사이트As we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back law and order to our cities and towns," he said. "In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside down by Radical Left lunatics."Trump has long promoted a tough-on-crime agenda and sought to paint Democratic-led cities as besieged by violence, despite statistics showing a downward trend in violent crime after a spike during the coronavirus pandemic.Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s comments also echo his campaign trail rhetoric about the need for more aggressive policing. He suggested last year that 바카라 게임 웹사이트one rough hour바카라 게임 웹사이트 of law enforcement action would tamp down retail theft. He has also advocated for ensuring that officers 바카라 게임 웹사이트have immunity from prosecution.바카라 게임 웹사이트10:30 p.m.Trump praised his wife for lobbying for a bill that would make it a federal crime to post intimate imagery online, whether real or fake. He thanked the Senate for passing the measure.The president called it a 바카라 게임 웹사이트terrible, terrible thing바카라 게임 웹사이트 to publish such images online. He then seemingly joked: 바카라 게임 웹사이트I바카라 게임 웹사이트m going to use that bill for myself, too, if you don바카라 게임 웹사이트t mind.바카라 게임 웹사이트10:25 p.m.바카라 게임 웹사이트Those goods that come in from other countries and companies, they바카라 게임 웹사이트re really, really in a bad position in so many different ways," Trump said. "They바카라 게임 웹사이트re uninspected. They may be very dirty and disgusting as they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers.바카라 게임 웹사이트Laying out more details on how he plans to stimulate the farming economy, Trump argued that increasing U.S. tariffs on agriculture products from abroad would protect domestic producers at home while acknowledging, 바카라 게임 웹사이트It may be a little bit of an adjustment period.바카라 게임 웹사이트But tariffs wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t necessarily stop farm products from coming aboard. They could, however, make them more expensive for U.S. consumers, as some economists argue.Video below: How tariffs could affect produce10:22 p.m.Trump is touting a plan he announced on Feb. 26 to offer a 바카라 게임 웹사이트gold card바카라 게임 웹사이트 for prospective rich immigrants.바카라 게임 웹사이트For $5 million, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizenship," Trump said. "It바카라 게임 웹사이트s like the green card, but better and more sophisticated."The program will replace an existing one offering U.S. visas to investors who spend about $1 million on a company that employs at least 10 people.Under Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s plan, investors would have to pony up $5 million. They would have to pay taxes in the U.S., Trump said. More than 100 countries around the world have something similar.But some countries, including Spain and the U.K., have ended their programs. Spain바카라 게임 웹사이트s program was criticized for causing soaring housing prices, while there were security concerns over the U.K. program.10:20 p.m.Trump said farmers need to 바카라 게임 웹사이트bear with me again바카라 게임 웹사이트 as he imposes tariffs.바카라 게임 웹사이트I love the farmer,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.But the retaliatory action from other countries could hurt farmers바카라 게임 웹사이트 bottom lines by billions of dollars collectively if they remain in place long term, and consumers could quickly see that result in higher prices at the grocery store.The exact toll is hard to predict at this stage. But tariffs make farmers uneasy about investing in expensive equipment.바카라 게임 웹사이트Farmers are very concerned,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Steve Kuiper, a director at the Iowa Corn Growers Association.10:17 p.m.Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s shoutout to one of his guests, an Alabama steelworker, father of seven and foster parent to 40, received a standing ovation from Republican lawmakers and applause from a clear majority of the seated Democratic caucus.Other guests of Trump and First Lady Melania Trump received scattered seated applause from Democrats as well.Video below: First lady arrives at House chamber ahead of presidential address10:14 p.m.Trump said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트$8 million to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.바카라 게임 웹사이트Trump cited the funding as an example of government waste uncovered by his administration and the Department of Government Efficiency.Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s move to freeze foreign aid has significantly impacted a program that fights HIV in Lesotho, a poor nation in southern Africa. The program was started by Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s Republican predecessor, former President George W. Bush.10:10 p.m.One of Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s orders is intended to ban transgender athletes from participating in girls바카라 게임 웹사이트 and women바카라 게임 웹사이트s sports. At least 24 states have already passed similar laws and a federal version sputtered this week in the U.S. Senate.바카라 게임 웹사이트From now on, schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding," Trump said during his speech.Like others, he portrays the order as a way to protect girls and women.In the audience was Payton McNabb, a former North Carolina high school athlete who suffered a concussion and neck injury that ended her athletic career after a ball hit by a transgender athlete struck her in a 2022 match.The president of the NCAA said last year he was aware of fewer than 10 active NCAA athletes who identified as transgender.Video below: The battle between Maine, Trump administration over trans athletes10:07 p.m.Trump said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old. It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119.바카라 게임 웹사이트The databases may list those people, but that does not mean they are getting paid benefits, as Trump implied.Social Security바카라 게임 웹사이트s acting administrator, Lee Dudek, said last month: 바카라 게임 웹사이트The reported data are people in our records with a Social Security number who do not have a date of death associated with their record. These individuals are not necessarily receiving benefits.바카라 게임 웹사이트Part of the confusion comes from Social Security바카라 게임 웹사이트s software system, which is based on the COBOL programming language and has a lack of date type. This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birthdates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago.10:03 p.m.Republicans jumped to their feet in applause as Trump told them 바카라 게임 웹사이트the days of unelected bureaucrats are over.바카라 게임 웹사이트But at the same time, Democrats pointed to Elon Musk, who is heading up the Department of Government Efficiency. Democrats have levied their criticism at Musk as his team has scoured the federal government, cutting probationary employees and federal contracts.10 p.m.Democratic Rep. Gil Cisneros, D-Calif., shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트What about the $400 million Tesla contract!바카라 게임 웹사이트 at Trump as the president discussed his cuts to the federal government.Democrats increasingly groaned, shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Not true!" and 바카라 게임 웹사이트Those are lies!바카라 게임 웹사이트 as Trump listed cuts his administration believes it has made to the federal budget.More House Democrats also exited the chamber, bringing the total to at least a half dozen opposition lawmakers who left Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s joint address.9:53 p.m.Multibillionaire Elon Musk stood at Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s invocation of his Department of Government Efficiency.The tech mogul waved as Republicans in the chamber cheered him.9:48 p.m.Trump says his government must move quickly to lower egg prices.Trump talked about the price of eggs and other key staples at grocery stores, where prices have remained stubbornly high due to inflation.He said Biden 바카라 게임 웹사이트let the price of eggs get out of control바카라 게임 웹사이트 and instructed members of his Cabinet to bring them down, saying they need to fix rising prices that he suggested the previous administration left them with.Video below: 'Egg prices out of control,' says Trump in comments on inflation9:44 p.m.Trump said his administration has rushed to ban diversity and inclusion programs in the federal government and dismiss workers charged with advancing such efforts.바카라 게임 웹사이트Our country will be 바카라 게임 웹사이트woke바카라 게임 웹사이트 no longer,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.His efforts have prompted private companies and other entities to similarly roll back efforts to promote diversity. They have also drawn a series of legal challenges, many of which are still in court.9:38 p.m.Trump admonishes Democrats for not cheering him.바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s very sad, and it just shouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t be this way,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump said.That was him chiding Democratic members of Congress for failing to stand and applaud as the president delivered his speech.Democrats remained seated as Trump said it, some scowling. Many held up small black signs printed with 바카라 게임 웹사이트False바카라 게임 웹사이트 in white lettering. Every time Trump boasts of his accomplishments, they hold up the signs.바카라 게임 웹사이트Lie after lie after lie,바카라 게임 웹사이트 came one shout from the Democratic side of the chamber.9:34 p.m.Some Democrats silently hold small signs protesting Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s joint address.The circular black signs have bold white lettering, including the statements 바카라 게임 웹사이트Protect Veterans,바카라 게임 웹사이트 바카라 게임 웹사이트Save Medicaid,바카라 게임 웹사이트 바카라 게임 웹사이트False,바카라 게임 웹사이트 and 바카라 게임 웹사이트Musk Steals.바카라 게임 웹사이트 The congress members held the signs higher as the president began his remarks.9:30 p.m.바카라 게임 웹사이트America is back.바카라 게임 웹사이트Trump started his address by taking a line from his predecessor in the White House, Joe Biden.As president, Biden repeatedly said in speeches that he told world leaders that 바카라 게임 웹사이트America is back.바카라 게임 웹사이트 The former president meant those words as a sign to allies in Europe and Asia that the United States was reengaging with the world. In one noted anecdote, Biden said that one world leader responded to his comment by asking how America would be back. There was a fear among allies, Biden said, that Trump could return.Now, Trump is using Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트s line to suggest that his return to the presidency means his vision of America is back.9:26 p.m.Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, was removed from the House floor after standing in protest to President Donald Trump's address.Green was asked multiple times to sit down by House Leader Mike Johnson, but Green refused, leading the sergeant-at-arms to escort him out. 바카라 게임 웹사이트The presidential election of Nov. 5 was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump said as he began his speech.바카라 게임 웹사이트You have no mandate,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Democratic Rep. Al Green countered.Republican members cheered at his removal, shouting 바카라 게임 웹사이트Get out!바카라 게임 웹사이트 and 바카라 게임 웹사이트Goodbye!바카라 게임 웹사이트 at the lawmaker. Green shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!바카라 게임 웹사이트 at Trump before police escorted him from the chamber. Video below: Democratic Rep. Al Green removed from House chamber after disrupting Trump address to Congress9:20 p.m.Trump has begun his joint congressional address to 바카라 게임 웹사이트USA! USA!바카라 게임 웹사이트 chants and talking about the first 43 days of his administration, which has been marked by a major effort at reshaping and downsizing the federal government led by billionaire Elon Musk, spats with America바카라 게임 웹사이트s allies and economic uncertainties brought by new tariffs.9:18 p.m.The Republican side of the House chamber was on their feet, whistling and applauding as Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s entrance was announced.The Democrats, meanwhile, were practically motionless. They were seated and mostly faced forward as Trump entered.9:15 p.m.President Donald Trump arrives.9:10 p.m.The president바카라 게임 웹사이트s Cabinet has entered the House chamber.

It is normal for some members of the court to not appear at the president바카라 게임 웹사이트s speeches before Congress.Chief Justice John Roberts entered the chamber accompanied by Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Elena Kagan and Brett Kavanagh. Former Justice Anthony Kennedy is also present.Absent from the group were Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor.9 p.m.In his joint congressional address, Trump is expected to take credit for 바카라 게임 웹사이트swift and unrelenting바카라 게임 웹사이트 action on immigration, economy and security, according to early excerpts released by the White House.Trump will begin his speech by saying he has accomplished more in his six weeks in office than most administrations in four or eight years. He is also expected to call this moment the 바카라 게임 웹사이트dawn of the Golden Age of America.바카라 게임 웹사이트8:55 p.m.Overlooking the House chamber, Elon Musk has taken a seat in the gallery.Wearing a suit with a dark blue tie, Musk received a bit of applause from other guests in the gallery as he shook hands with those seated around him.Seated along with him is newly confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel, as well as members of Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s family 바카라 게임 웹사이트 Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Lara Trump.8:50 p.m. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins has been selected to be the designated survivor for Trump's speech, according to a White House official.When government officials gather for big events, a 바카라 게임 웹사이트designated survivor바카라 게임 웹사이트 is kept away to make sure someone in the line of presidential succession stays alive in case of a catastrophic or mass-casualty event.8:45 p.m.Vice President JD Vance is entering the House chamber to hearty handshakes and hugs from his fellow Republicans.Until just a few weeks ago, Vance held an office in the Capitol as Ohio바카라 게임 웹사이트s senator. He is still frequently there, taking on a role in the Trump administration of guiding the president바카라 게임 웹사이트s nominees to confirmation.8:35 p.m.Democratic congresswomen are aiming to send a feminist message at President Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s speech with their blazers, dresses and scarves.More than three dozen members of the Democratic Women바카라 게임 웹사이트s Caucus are wearing pink and burgundy clothing for the president바카라 게임 웹사이트s joint address, a color palette the women believe represents female empowerment.

Since his first term in office, Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally and a founding member of NATO. It is also home to a large U.S. military base.

10:50 p.m.

Trump signed an executive order renaming a wildlife refuge for a young girl who prosecutors say was killed by two Venezuelan men in the country illegally.

바카라 게임 웹사이트The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched our entire nation greatly," Trump said.

Jocelyn Nungaray 바카라 게임 웹사이트s death was one of several cases last year that became flashpoints in the immigration debate. Prosecutors have charged two Venezuelan men who entered the U.S. illegally with capital murder. Nungaray바카라 게임 웹사이트s mother campaigned for Trump. She was in the audience Tuesday as Trump gave his address.

Speaking of Jocelyn바카라 게임 웹사이트s love of animals, Trump said he decided to rename the wildlife refuge near her Houston home for her.

10:48 p.m.

바카라 게임 웹사이트I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body," Trump said.

Trump has already used executive actions to roll back a series of Biden administration policies promoting transgender rights, and he has vowed to stamp out 바카라 게임 웹사이트gender ideology.바카라 게임 웹사이트

During his speech, the president asked Congress to limit gender-affirming surgeries performed on minors, though he offered few details. Some of Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s executive actions, meanwhile, have already been met by legal challenges.

10:45 p.m.

바카라 게임 웹사이트Beautiful towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation and corruption like no one바카라 게임 웹사이트s ever seen before," Trump said. "Beautiful towns, destroyed.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Both Springfield and Aurora figured in Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s campaign. At the time, he amplified false conspiracy theories that legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating dogs and cats.

Aurora had a more serious issue: a series of incidents at rundown apartment complexes, one of which was captured on video that showed heavily armed men going door to door. But the buildings have since been closed.

10:40 p.m.

More than a dozen Democrats joined Republicans in a standing ovation for a guest of Trump, a child diagnosed with cancer who Trump said aspires to become a police officer. The child, named DJ, was held up by his father as Republicans and attendees in the House gallery chanted 바카라 게임 웹사이트DJ.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Trump announced DJ would be sworn in by his new Secret Service director as a member of the force. DJ was held up by his father as he received a Secret Service badge by Director Sean Curran.

Democrats then went largely silent as Trump discussed his health policies. Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib held up a whiteboard that read, 바카라 게임 웹사이트You cut cancer research.바카라 게임 웹사이트 One Republican shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트MAHA baby!바카라 게임 웹사이트

10:35 p.m.

Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas., first shouted 바카라 게임 웹사이트January 6th바카라 게임 웹사이트 as Trump recounted his plans for combatting crime throughout the country. At least a dozen Democrats joined in the repeated chant as Trump discussed the need to crack down on violent criminals.

Trump pardoned around 1,500 rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, in a bid to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

10:32 p.m.

바카라 게임 웹사이트As we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back law and order to our cities and towns," he said. "In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside down by Radical Left lunatics."

Trump has long promoted a tough-on-crime agenda and sought to paint Democratic-led cities as besieged by violence, despite statistics showing a downward trend in violent crime after a spike during the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s comments also echo his campaign trail rhetoric about the need for more aggressive policing. He suggested last year that 바카라 게임 웹사이트one rough hour바카라 게임 웹사이트 of law enforcement action would tamp down retail theft. He has also advocated for ensuring that officers 바카라 게임 웹사이트have immunity from prosecution.바카라 게임 웹사이트

10:30 p.m.

Trump praised his wife for lobbying for a bill that would make it a federal crime to post intimate imagery online, whether real or fake. He thanked the Senate for passing the measure.

The president called it a 바카라 게임 웹사이트terrible, terrible thing바카라 게임 웹사이트 to publish such images online. He then seemingly joked: 바카라 게임 웹사이트I바카라 게임 웹사이트m going to use that bill for myself, too, if you don바카라 게임 웹사이트t mind.바카라 게임 웹사이트

10:25 p.m.

바카라 게임 웹사이트Those goods that come in from other countries and companies, they바카라 게임 웹사이트re really, really in a bad position in so many different ways," Trump said. "They바카라 게임 웹사이트re uninspected. They may be very dirty and disgusting as they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Laying out more details on how he plans to stimulate the farming economy, Trump argued that increasing U.S. tariffs on agriculture products from abroad would protect domestic producers at home while acknowledging, 바카라 게임 웹사이트It may be a little bit of an adjustment period.바카라 게임 웹사이트

But tariffs wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t necessarily stop farm products from coming aboard. They could, however, make them more expensive for U.S. consumers, as some economists argue.

Video below: How tariffs could affect produce

10:22 p.m.

Trump is touting a plan he announced on Feb. 26 to offer a 바카라 게임 웹사이트gold card바카라 게임 웹사이트 for prospective rich immigrants.

바카라 게임 웹사이트For $5 million, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizenship," Trump said. "It바카라 게임 웹사이트s like the green card, but better and more sophisticated."

The program will replace an existing one offering U.S. visas to investors who spend about $1 million on a company that employs at least 10 people.

Under Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s plan, investors would have to pony up $5 million. They would have to pay taxes in the U.S., Trump said. More than 100 countries around the world have something similar.

But some countries, including Spain and the U.K., have ended their programs. Spain바카라 게임 웹사이트s program was criticized for causing soaring housing prices, while there were security concerns over the U.K. program.

10:20 p.m.

Trump said farmers need to 바카라 게임 웹사이트bear with me again바카라 게임 웹사이트 as he imposes tariffs.

바카라 게임 웹사이트I love the farmer,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.

But the retaliatory action from other countries could hurt farmers바카라 게임 웹사이트 bottom lines by billions of dollars collectively if they remain in place long term, and consumers could quickly see that result in higher prices at the grocery store.

The exact toll is hard to predict at this stage. But tariffs make farmers uneasy about investing in expensive equipment.

바카라 게임 웹사이트Farmers are very concerned,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Steve Kuiper, a director at the Iowa Corn Growers Association.

10:17 p.m.

Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s shoutout to one of his guests, an Alabama steelworker, father of seven and foster parent to 40, received a standing ovation from Republican lawmakers and applause from a clear majority of the seated Democratic caucus.

Other guests of Trump and First Lady Melania Trump received scattered seated applause from Democrats as well.

10:14 p.m.

Trump said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트$8 million to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Trump cited the funding as an example of government waste uncovered by his administration and the Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s move to freeze foreign aid has significantly impacted a program that fights HIV in Lesotho, a poor nation in southern Africa. The program was started by Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s Republican predecessor, former President George W. Bush.

10:10 p.m.

One of Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s orders is intended to ban transgender athletes from participating in girls바카라 게임 웹사이트 and women바카라 게임 웹사이트s sports. At least 24 states have already passed similar laws and a federal version sputtered this week in the U.S. Senate.

바카라 게임 웹사이트From now on, schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding," Trump said during his speech.

Like others, he portrays the order as a way to protect girls and women.

In the audience was Payton McNabb, a former North Carolina high school athlete who suffered a concussion and neck injury that ended her athletic career after a ball hit by a transgender athlete struck her in a 2022 match.

The president of the NCAA said last year he was aware of fewer than 10 active NCAA athletes who identified as transgender.

Video below: The battle between Maine, Trump administration over trans athletes

10:07 p.m.

Trump said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old. It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119.바카라 게임 웹사이트

The databases may list those people, but that does not mean they are getting paid benefits, as Trump implied.

Social Security바카라 게임 웹사이트s acting administrator, Lee Dudek, said last month: 바카라 게임 웹사이트The reported data are people in our records with a Social Security number who do not have a date of death associated with their record. These individuals are not necessarily receiving benefits.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Part of the confusion comes from Social Security바카라 게임 웹사이트s software system, which is based on the COBOL programming language and has a lack of date type. This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birthdates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago.

10:03 p.m.

Republicans jumped to their feet in applause as Trump told them 바카라 게임 웹사이트the days of unelected bureaucrats are over.바카라 게임 웹사이트

But at the same time, Democrats pointed to Elon Musk, who is heading up the Department of Government Efficiency. Democrats have levied their criticism at Musk as his team has scoured the federal government, cutting probationary employees and federal contracts.

10 p.m.

Democratic Rep. Gil Cisneros, D-Calif., shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트What about the $400 million Tesla contract!바카라 게임 웹사이트 at Trump as the president discussed his cuts to the federal government.

Democrats increasingly groaned, shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Not true!" and 바카라 게임 웹사이트Those are lies!바카라 게임 웹사이트 as Trump listed cuts his administration believes it has made to the federal budget.

More House Democrats also exited the chamber, bringing the total to at least a half dozen opposition lawmakers who left Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s joint address.

Multibillionaire Elon Musk stood at Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s invocation of his Department of Government Efficiency.

The tech mogul waved as Republicans in the chamber cheered him.

9:48 p.m.

Trump says his government must move quickly to lower egg prices.

Trump talked about the price of eggs and other key staples at grocery stores, where prices have remained stubbornly high due to inflation.

He said Biden 바카라 게임 웹사이트let the price of eggs get out of control바카라 게임 웹사이트 and instructed members of his Cabinet to bring them down, saying they need to fix rising prices that he suggested the previous administration left them with.

Video below: 'Egg prices out of control,' says Trump in comments on inflation

9:44 p.m.

Trump said his administration has rushed to ban diversity and inclusion programs in the federal government and dismiss workers charged with advancing such efforts.

바카라 게임 웹사이트Our country will be 바카라 게임 웹사이트woke바카라 게임 웹사이트 no longer,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.

His efforts have prompted private companies and other entities to similarly roll back efforts to promote diversity. They have also drawn a series of legal challenges, many of which are still in court.

9:38 p.m.

Trump admonishes Democrats for not cheering him.

바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s very sad, and it just shouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t be this way,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump said.

That was him chiding Democratic members of Congress for failing to stand and applaud as the president delivered his speech.

Democrats remained seated as Trump said it, some scowling. Many held up small black signs printed with 바카라 게임 웹사이트False바카라 게임 웹사이트 in white lettering. Every time Trump boasts of his accomplishments, they hold up the signs.

바카라 게임 웹사이트Lie after lie after lie,바카라 게임 웹사이트 came one shout from the Democratic side of the chamber.

9:34 p.m.

Some Democrats silently hold small signs protesting Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s joint address.

The circular black signs have bold white lettering, including the statements 바카라 게임 웹사이트Protect Veterans,바카라 게임 웹사이트 바카라 게임 웹사이트Save Medicaid,바카라 게임 웹사이트 바카라 게임 웹사이트False,바카라 게임 웹사이트 and 바카라 게임 웹사이트Musk Steals.바카라 게임 웹사이트

The congress members held the signs higher as the president began his remarks.

9:30 p.m.

바카라 게임 웹사이트America is back.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Trump started his address by taking a line from his predecessor in the White House, Joe Biden.

As president, Biden repeatedly said in speeches that he told world leaders that 바카라 게임 웹사이트America is back.바카라 게임 웹사이트 The former president meant those words as a sign to allies in Europe and Asia that the United States was reengaging with the world. In one noted anecdote, Biden said that one world leader responded to his comment by asking how America would be back. There was a fear among allies, Biden said, that Trump could return.

Now, Trump is using Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트s line to suggest that his return to the presidency means his vision of America is back.

9:26 p.m.

Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, was removed from the House floor after standing in protest to President Donald Trump's address.

Green was asked multiple times to sit down by House Leader Mike Johnson, but Green refused, leading the sergeant-at-arms to escort him out.

바카라 게임 웹사이트The presidential election of Nov. 5 was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump said as he began his speech.

바카라 게임 웹사이트You have no mandate,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Democratic Rep. Al Green countered.

Republican members cheered at his removal, shouting 바카라 게임 웹사이트Get out!바카라 게임 웹사이트 and 바카라 게임 웹사이트Goodbye!바카라 게임 웹사이트 at the lawmaker. Green shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!바카라 게임 웹사이트 at Trump before police escorted him from the chamber.

9:20 p.m.

Trump has begun his joint congressional address to 바카라 게임 웹사이트USA! USA!바카라 게임 웹사이트 chants and talking about the first 43 days of his administration, which has been marked by a major effort at reshaping and downsizing the federal government led by billionaire Elon Musk, spats with America바카라 게임 웹사이트s allies and economic uncertainties brought by new tariffs.

9:18 p.m.

The Republican side of the House chamber was on their feet, whistling and applauding as Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s entrance was announced.

The Democrats, meanwhile, were practically motionless. They were seated and mostly faced forward as Trump entered.

9:15 p.m.

President Donald Trump arrives.

9:10 p.m.

The president바카라 게임 웹사이트s Cabinet has entered the House chamber. Secretaries are being greeted by and chatting with members of Congress from both sides of the aisle.

Four sitting members of the Supreme Court are attending Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s joint address to Congress. It is normal for some members of the court to not appear at the president바카라 게임 웹사이트s speeches before Congress.

Chief Justice John Roberts entered the chamber accompanied by Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Elena Kagan and Brett Kavanagh. Former Justice Anthony Kennedy is also present.

Absent from the group were Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor.

9 p.m.

In his joint congressional address, Trump is expected to take credit for 바카라 게임 웹사이트swift and unrelenting바카라 게임 웹사이트 action on immigration, economy and security, according to early excerpts released by the White House.

Trump will begin his speech by saying he has accomplished more in his six weeks in office than most administrations in four or eight years. He is also expected to call this moment the 바카라 게임 웹사이트dawn of the Golden Age of America.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins has been selected to be the designated survivor for Trump's speech, according to a White House official.

When government officials gather for big events, a 바카라 게임 웹사이트designated survivor바카라 게임 웹사이트 is kept away to make sure someone in the line of presidential succession stays alive in case of a catastrophic or mass-casualty event.

8:45 p.m.

Vice President JD Vance is entering the House chamber to hearty handshakes and hugs from his fellow Republicans.

Until just a few weeks ago, Vance held an office in the Capitol as Ohio바카라 게임 웹사이트s senator. He is still frequently there, taking on a role in the Trump administration of guiding the president바카라 게임 웹사이트s nominees to confirmation.

8:35 p.m.

Democratic congresswomen are aiming to send a feminist message at President Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s speech with their blazers, dresses and scarves.

More than three dozen members of the Democratic Women바카라 게임 웹사이트s Caucus are wearing pink and burgundy clothing for the president바카라 게임 웹사이트s joint address, a color palette the women believe represents female empowerment. At least a half dozen congressmen have joined in on the action with pink ties.
