First Lady Melania Trump attended her husband’s address to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening, opting for a low-key skirt suit from Dior which retails for $5,500 while the skirt retails for $1,747.🐸

For President Donald Trump’s address, Mrs. Trump wore an understated gray virgin wool tweed belted jacket from Dior with a removable scarf.

A long Dior twisted belt, matching Dior gray virgin wool tweed mid-length skirt, and Christian Louboutins were paired with the jacket.

The look mimics that of Mrs. Trump’s gray wool Marlène double-breasted jacket and skirt from Dior that she wore on her husband’s victory night in November of last year.

BEST 👏🏻 SPEECH 👏🏻 EVER 👏🏻
- @WhiteHouse

JUST IN: China issued a warning on Tuesday night that it stands ready for any "type of war" with the United States in the aftermath of tariffs imposed hours earlier by the Trump administration.

A spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry said the tariffs would not lead to a resolution of U.S. concerns about fentanyl originating in China.

"If the U.S. truly wants to solve the fentanyl issue, then the right thing to do is to consult with China on the basis of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit to address each other’s concerns," Chinese spokesperson Lin Jian said at a press conference late Tuesday.

"If the U.S. has other agenda in mind and if war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end," the spokesperson added.

The remarks came soon after the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, as well as 10% tariffs on imports from China. The fresh round of duties on Chinese goods doubled an initial set of tariffs placed on China last month.

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency that provides health care for retired military members, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.

The VA’s chief of staff, Christopher Syrek, told top level officials at the agency that it had an objective to cut enough employees to return to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000. That would require terminating tens of thousands of employees after the VA expanded during the Biden administration, as well as to cover veterans impacted by burn pits under the 2022 PACT Act.

The memo instructs top-level staff to prepare for an agency-wide reorganization in August to “resize and tailor the workforce to the mission and revised structure.” It also calls for agency officials to work with the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency to “move out aggressively, while taking a pragmatic and disciplined approach” to the Trump administration’s goals.

I have some bad news, frens. Unfortunately - Barb and I will be unable to make it to GART 😞.

About an hour before we were to leave for the airport, my dad came hobbling in through the garage door.

Turns out, he had taken a fall going down the back steps.

Most importantly: He is okay. Or, will be okay. He broke a couple of ribs, sprained his wrist, and has a mild concussion.

As you can imagine, there is absolutely no way I am leaving him here by himself.

I am thankful we were here when it happened and I am thankful that with rest and time that he will be okay and I am VERY thankful that God kept it from being worse than it was.

We are gonna miss all of you, that’s for damn sure.

I feel terrible and though I know it cannot be helped, I apologize for being unable to attend and speak. (I won’t rule out making it out there for the weekend if his condition improves 🙏🏻.)

Thank you all so much for the love and prayers. It is greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Following Representative Green's censure, a group of Democrats began chanting the civil rights anthem "We Shall Overcome" as a form of dissent.

According to ABC News, the scene escalated into a "screaming match." During the chaos, Representative Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat, sharply responded with "Shame on you!" directed at her opponents. Fellow Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib also raised her voice in protest against the Republicans.
Speaking briefly on Fox News after the decision, Johnson described the event as "a really sad day for our institution."

💥Over on X, Rep Ogles said he is drafting privileged resolutions to remove each of them from their committees. If you want to act like a child in the Halls of Congress, you will be treated like a child.

"There must be accountability. The American people deserve better than petty, juvenile stunts in one of the most sacred chambers of government," he emphasized.
