Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Biden had an impromptu exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) during Thursday’s State of the Union address after the conservative firebrand heckled him on immigration and urged him to acknowledge a University of Georgia student who was killed last month.
As Biden spoke about a bipartisan border security bill in the Senate that was tanked in part by former President Trump’s opposition, Greene, a fierce Trump ally, called out “Laken Riley,” the name of the student who was killed by a Venezuelan migrant who entered the country illegally in 2022, according to police.
Greene wore a red “Make America Great Again” hat as she sat in the chamber.
Biden paused his prepared remarks and pulled out a pin with Riley’s name on it being worn by many GOP lawmakers.
“Laken Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.
Biden went on to pressure Republican lawmakers to take up the Senate bill that would bolster border security, restrict certain asylum claims and more, and he sought to contrast his own rhetoric with that of Trump, his likely November general election opponent.
