Al Green was forcibly escorted out of the House chamber after staging a planned protest during Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, marking his second removal during a major presidential speech. Green displayed a protest sign referencing racial controversy linked to Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, triggering immediate confrontation from Republican lawmakers, including Troy Nehls, who attempted to seize the sign. Green later said his protest was deliberate and strategically positioned so the message would be clearly visible to Trump. He defended his actions by invoking civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, framing his protest as part of a broader struggle for justice. WATCH 

Donald Trump triggered nationwide outrage after launching a late-night posting spree on Truth Social, sharing more than 60 posts in just three hours. The barrage included a conspiracy video reviving discredited claims about the 2020 election and an offensive, racist depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama. The viral clip pushed the false narrative that Dominion Voting Systems helped steal the 2020 U.S. presidential election, a claim already dismantled in court and tied to Fox News’ historic $787.5 million defamation settlement. The video ends with a deeply offensive scene portraying the Obamas as animated monkeys dancing to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” igniting immediate condemnation online. WATCH
