For the first time since he returned to power, President Donald Trump delivered an address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.

It was the longest annual address in modern history, clocking in at roughly one hour and 39 minutes. Trump recapped his first 43 days in office, focusing on issues such as the economy, immigration and the war in Ukraine, and he outlined his vision for the rest of his term. 

“My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future, because the golden age of America has only just begun,” Trump said. “It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.”

He also used his speech to relentlessly attack his opponents, blame his predecessor and air old grievances. It was one of the most partisan speeches to Congress, with almost none of the customary calls for unity.

America’s political chasm could be seen in the audience as well, as Trump was interrupted several times by Democratic lawmakers, including Texas Rep. Al Green, who was escorted out of the House chamber.

Here are some of the stories that made headlines over the past week, as well as some photos that caught our eye.
