Trump touted the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which first lady Melania Trump advocated for this week. The bill, which passed unanimously in the Senate, seeks to criminalize revenge porn.

After he discussed the bill, Trump quipped: “I'm going to use that bill for myself, if you don’t mind. Because nobody gets treated worse than I do online."

Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, said on social media why he grabbed the "this is not normal" sign Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M., was holding.

“No one will disrespect President @realdonaldtrump in front of me,” Gooden said on X.

Trump is promising tax cuts “all across the board” and reviving his campaign promise to offer “no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors.” While Trump has drilled a rapid pace of action since he took office, the proposals affecting hourly workers and seniors are still outstanding.

A Democratic leadership aide reminds NBC News that when Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, announced last month that he would introduce new articles of impeachment against Trump, members of House Democratic leadership, including Pete Aguillar and Ted Lieu, both of California, said that “impeachment is not a focus of the Democratic caucus."

After beinhe was escorted out of the House chamber, Green again reiterated that he is working on filing the articles.

After he was escorted out of the chamber, Green told NBC News that when Trump spoke about his “mandate” it “triggered something. It really did. Because he doesn’t have a mandate, and he doesn’t have a mandate to cut health care from poor people.” 

The interview with Green was interrupted by Capitol Police, who removed us from the area where we were speaking.

Some Democrats laughed out loud when Trump said the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over, and some stood up and pointed to Musk.

As Trump promised to "drain the swamp," he said, "It’s very simple, and the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.” He touted cuts to the federal government through DOGE, which is moving to rapidly cut government jobs.

As Trump claims to have found “hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud,” even the highly dubious accounting of the DOGE “wall of receipts” shows only $105 billion in estimated total savings. The numbers don’t add up. Neither has anyone been charged with fraud or any such case been publicly opened or referred.

Just over 20 minutes in his speech, Trump mentioned Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, telling lawmakers, "I have created the brand-new Department of Government Efficiency: DOGE. Perhaps you've heard of it."

He pointed out that Musk was in the chamber and said: "He’s working very hard. He didn’t need this."

Trump also said DOGE is "headed" by Musk, even as the administration has denied that he's in charge. The White House said last month that an official named Amy Gleason is DOGE's administrator.

Trump quipped about Musk's work: "We appreciate it. Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it, I believe," referring to Democrats.

"They just don’t want to admit that," he added.
