NYT Translation: In his first State of the Union address of his second✩ term, President Trump offered a rosy portrait of a U.S. that has lost confidence in his leadership.

Rep. Omar Statement on the Arrest of Aliya Rahman

February 25. 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON - Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) released the following statement after her State of the Union guest, Aliya Rahman, was arrested during the president's speech.

"My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president's speech for a short period of time. part of which other guests were also standing. For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with 'Unlawful Conduct

"Reports indicate she was aggressively handled until someone intervened to secure medical attention. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital for treatment and later booked at the United States Capitol Police headquarters.

*The heavy-handed response to a peaceful guest sends a chilling message about the state of our democracy. I am calling for a full explanation of why this arrest occurred."

What a perfect example of how these people are not just incompetent, they’re lazy.
A new filing in the case today asserts that two DOGE staffers plugged in NEH grants to ChatGPT asking it to flag which are related to diversity, equity and inclusion issues. The prompts given by the DOGE staffers were brief and unspecific, asking it to tell in less than 140 words why the grants are DEI.
The plaintiffs argue that ChatGPT then narrowed the active grants down to approximately 1,400 that it determined were related to DEI, based on their findings, which they allege were signed by MICHAEL McDONALD, the then-acting chair of the NEH.
They were then terminated.
