President Donald Trump will deliver his first official State of the Union address of his second term Tuesday night before a joint session of Congress at the Capitol, as viewers watch for viral moments and headline-grabbing exchanges like those that have defined past speeches. Here are the top five moments from past State of the Union addresses. It's become commonplace in recent years for presidents to acknowledge guests in the audience during SotU addresses, but President  Ronald Reagan’s 1982 address was the first time the practice was rolled out.  Reagan’s speech came just weeks after Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into  Washington’s 14th Street Bridge over the Potomac River shortly after taking off in an accident that killed 78 people.  NANCY PELOSI SAYS SHE HAD 'NO INTENTION' OF TEARING UP TRUMP'S 2020 STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH Three people survived the crash thanks to civilians on the ground who rushed to their aid, including Congressional Budget Office a...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry beginning Sunday as a partial government shutdown continues. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Saturday blamed Democrats for shutting down the government, saying they were causing "serious real world consequences." "This is the third time that Democrat politicians have shut down this department during the 119th Congress," Noem said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "Shutdowns have serious real world consequences, not just for the men and women of DHS and their families who go without a paycheck, but it endangers our national security." The suspension of the programs, which allow some travelers to quickly get through airport security, was first reported by The Washington Post, which noted the changes would begin Sunday at 6 a.m. EST.

Surveillance video and images of a suspect accused of vandalizing the Trump-Kennedy Center ’s outdoor ice rink were released Saturday as federal authorities investigate what officials described as a "targeted attack." Trump-Kennedy Center President and Ambassador Richard Grenell shared the footage on social media and urged the public to help identify the suspect.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado did not mince words when talking about Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett, describing the Texas congresswoman as "radical" and "extreme." On "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday, Boebert joked about possibly endorsing Crockett while seated next to the Texas congresswoman’s rival for U.S. Senate. "Maybe I should endorse Jasmine Crockett, so you could do a little better," she told Democratic Texas state Rep. James Talarico. Among Texas voters, Crockett is currently running ahead of Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, according to a recent statewide survey from Hart Research. CORNYN TORCHES DEMOCRATIC FIELD, SAYS PARTY NOW ‘RULED BY SOCIALISTS’ However, Talarico’s campaign has surged in fundraising and media attention. He raised $2.5 million after CBS pulled his interview with late-night host Stephen Colbert over "equal time" rules for political candidates. Instead, the interview was uploa...

A federal appeals court cleared the way Friday for a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, lifting a lower court block and reigniting debate over religion in public education. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 12-6 to lift a block first imposed in 2024, finding it was too early to determine the constitutionality of the law. Critics argue the requirement violates the separation of church and state , while supporters say the Ten Commandments are historical and foundational to U.S. law. The court said in the majority opinion that it was unclear how schools would display the poster-sized materials, noting that the law allows additional content, like the Mayflower Compact or the Declaration of Independence, to appear alongside the Ten Commandments. The majority wrote that there were not enough facts to "permit judicial judgment rather than speculation" when evaluating potential First Amendment concerns. COLORADO TE...

On February 20, 2025, I had the honor of being confirmed as the Ninth Director of the FBI . In that time, much has happened. Under President Donald Trump ’s leadership, the FBI and our partners at the state, local and federal level have helped deliver one of the safest periods America has seen in decades. When I sat before the Senate for my confirmation, I promised to refocus the FBI on its core mission: crush violent crime and defend the homeland, strengthen transparency and rebuild public trust. One year in, my team and I have worked every day to turn those words into action. We delivered historic results. From 2024 to 2025, the FBI saw a 197% increase in arrests, from 34,000 to 67,000. We disrupted 1,800 gangs and criminal enterprises, a 210% increase. Agents seized more than 2,100 kilos of deadly fentanyl — enough to kill 150 million Americans — up 31%. That mission also extended overseas, where my trip to Beijing resulted in a historic agreement to shut off the flow of fentanyl...
