President Trump delivers record 1-hour, 47-minute State of the Union
President Donald Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in recorded history, clocking in at more than 1 hour and 47 minutes before a joint session of Congress. In the wide-ranging speech, Trump addressed the economy, immigration, and national security — and acknowledged the Supreme Court just days after it ruled he cannot impose certain tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The president shook hands with the justices in attendance, including Chief Justice John Roberts. The marathon address drew strong reactions from both parties as lawmakers and Americans weigh what it means moving forward.

Snow returns in NYC, snowball fight controversy and Staten Island still digging out
A messy winter stretch continues across the tri-state: a quick burst of wet snow creates slick roads and a slower morning commute, with spinouts and delays reported on major routes, plus impacts to trains and transit as the region recovers from the storm. In NYC, police are also investigating a Washington Square Park snowball fight that escalated after officers arrived to control the crowd. The NYPD says officers were hit with snowballs and chunks of ice, and the search is on for suspects as city leaders debate how serious the incident was. And on Staten Island, neighborhoods buried under deep snowfall totals say plowing resources still weren’t enough — as the borough continues digging out and frustrations linger over decisions like reopening schools, with citywide attendance reported at 63%.
