• President Donald Trump addressed a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
• Melania Trump attended the speech wearing a Dior blazer with a removable scarf and matching skirt.
• A style strategist and image coach said her look embodies "quiet authority."

First lady Melania Trump attended President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress in a gray skirt suit by Dior.

The wool tweed blazer, which features a removable scarf detail, retails for $5,500 on Dior's website. She paired the blazer with a matching skirt and accessorized with a black belt.

"First Lady Melania's style tonight is quiet authority — polished, self-assured, and entirely in command of her presence," Lauren A. Rothman, a style strategist and image coach, told Business Insider.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Even before President Trump took the podium to address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, Democrats began disrupting the proceedings. Within minutes, a lawmaker was escorted out of the chamber.

Why it matters: The Democratic protests from inside the chamber represent an unprecedented level of coordination that reflects the immense grassroots pressure the party is facing to mount a resistance to Trump.

What happened: As Trump walked down the aisle, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), the ranking member of the House's DOGE subcommittee, held up a sign reading "This is NOT Normal".

• Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) reached across the aisle, grabbed Stansbury's sign and yanked it out of her hand.
• Soon after, dozens of Democrats held up signs reading "SAVE MEDICAID," "MUSK STEALS" and "PROTECT VETERANS" — which, when flipped around, also said "FALSE" on the back.
• Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) held up a white board on which she wrote various messages, including: "Cut Elon, NOT Social Security."

Zoom in: As Trump began speaking, even more raucous disruptions began. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), one of Trump's fiercest critics in Congress who plans to try to impeach him, stood up and shouted, "Mr. President, you don't have a mandate."

• Republicans shouted back in an attempt to drown him out. After a back and forth in which Green refused to stop heckling, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) ordered the House sergeant-at-arms to escort him out.
• After he was ejected, Green told reporters the mandate he was referencing was a mandate to cut Medicaid and other government programs.
• Several House Democrats — including Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) — walked out of the speech several minutes later, with Crockett revealing a shirt that said "RESIST" on the back.

• "Daredevil" fans were crushed when Netflix cancelled the show in 2018, but it is now returning to Disney+.
• "Daredevil: Born Again" is gory and violent: proving Marvel can change and adapt.
• The show has flaws, but is the best Marvel project in years.

"Daredevil: Born Again" starts with an unsubtle wink to fans who have waited seven years for the show to return.

As the lawyer Foggy Nelson wistfully recalls long-gone diners in New York City, his legal partner Karen Page replies: "This Hell's Kitchen nostalgia is running pretty thin you guys, you realize that, right?"

"Not nostalgia. Reverence for the past, yet hope for the future… Too much?" he says.

The tongue-in-cheek line might be on the nose (or horns), but it's a manifesto for the entire series.

"Daredevil: Born Again" has reverence for the eponymous 2015 Netflix show beloved by fans, who were crushed when it was canceled in 2018 after three seasons. But the symphony of violence when Bullseye attacks Josie's Bar in the opening minutes makes it clear that Disney wants to take the franchise to new heights, by taking risks and pushing the boundaries of what the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be.

Yes, projects like "Werewolf By Night" and the "Echo" miniseries have gritty moments, but fist-fights actually carry weight in "Daredevil: Born Again." They lead to oozing bruises, court cases, and questions from loved ones. They also enable characters to grow, especially after a tragedy in the first episode (which will likely annoy fans).

This is not the all-too-often vacuous family-friendly superheroics that Marvel typically relies on.

Sure, Daredevil doesn't need violence to work as a character in the MCU, as proven by his recent cameos in "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "She-Hulk."

But grabbing fans by the scruff of the neck with a combination of substance and high-octane action is a particularly smart move following a string of lackluster Marvel offerings, on both big and small screens.

It seems there's still fight left in Marvel, the studio just needs to figure out what makes each project special and lean into that, as it does with "Daredevil: Born Again."

"Daredevil: Born Again" isn't perfect, but it's the best Marvel project in years

Having said that, while the series shines when creating raw tension and using violence in clever ways, the story feels flimsy in places. This may be symptomatic of the creative overhaul that took place in June 2023. Marvel Television went back to the drawing board after filming several episodes of "Born Again" and started afresh with a new showrunner and writers that October.

For instance, Muse — an artistic serial killer who roams the streets looking for victims — is an exciting new enemy for Daredevil, like something out of David Fincher's "Seven" or the BBC's "Luther." But his storyline is cut disappointingly short.

There are some rough visuals in a CGI-enhanced fight, which is odd given some of the impressively choreographed stunts later in the series. And a few story beats are particularly rushed, including Murdock's relationship with the psychiatrist Heather Glenn, which materializes almost instantly without feeling particularly earned.

There's plenty of time spent exploring the hero's defining dilemma (his duty as Daredevil or his life and career as Matt Murdock), but it takes much longer than expected to get to the meat of the season: Kingpin's plan to ban superheroes from New York.

But there is still much for hungry "Daredevil" fans to unpick. The way Wilson Fisk weaponizes the general public will no doubt draw some real-world comparisons, but Vincent D'Onofrio's quietly chilling performance never jumps the shark into parody. Kingpin remains as terrifying as ever, as he sets his sights on the mayor's office, especially in the show's most obscenely gory moment.

Ultimately, the series as a whole, particularly how Daredevil and Kingpin develop as characters, proves an important point. It is possible for Marvel to add depth to its core characters alongside bone-crunchingly excellent fight choreography.

Throw in a tantalizing cliffhanger ahead of season two, and "Born Again" is the best MCU project in recent years, flaws and all.

To be blunt as Daredevil's billy clubs, Marvel has found a way to give audiences the hero they know and love, while having him exist in the same universe as the Avengers.

"Hope for the future," indeed.

• Wu Zhixun left his hometown and his job at a local bank to spend his 20s pursuing an acting career in Beijing.
• He entered his 30s ready for a career change and noticed Beijing lacked the flavors of his hometown.
• One year after opening his restaurant, Wu, now 31, says he has made back his initial investment.

Wu Zhixun stumbled into acting by accident when he was a young adult. Years later, a similarly unexpected turn of events led him to open — and become the face of — a popular restaurant in Beijing.

In 2013, the sporting brand Li Ning was sponsoring university basketball games across China. They chose Wu to appear in an ad. Soon after, people started recognizing him on the streets of Yunnan, the southern Chinese province, where he'd grown up.

After graduating, he got hired by a local bank, but six months in, a video-streaming company asked him to appear on a reality TV show in which he'd be cooking for celebrities.

"I thought it was a scam at first," he told Business Insider. But they offered to buy him a flight to Beijing, 1,500 miles northeast of Yunnan, so he quit his job and dove into the world of acting and television.

Career shift into F&B

Over a seven-year acting career, Wu appeared in three TV shows and a Huawei campaign.

In 2017, after his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, he returned to Yunnan for a year and a half to spend time with her.

While he was back home, he invested money into two F&B ventures, neither of which panned out.

The first was a snack shop. Wu and three partners each invested 100,000 yuan into the shop, which sold chicken feet, rice noodles, and mango rice. The shop shuttered after six months.

Next, he invested 50,000 yuan in a Japanese restaurant. Within three months, the restaurant closed. Looking back, he said he could see the problems were with the location and the management.

The restaurant was tucked away on the second floor of an office building, and no one on the management team had any experience running a kitchen. They didn't know how many ingredients to order, and they often sold out of popular dishes before the end of the day.

Bringing the taste of home to Beijing

At the end of 2018, Wu moved back to Beijing. Within a couple of years, he met his partner, and they started discussing the idea of starting a family.

He wanted more career stability and was tired of being an actor. "You're always waiting to be chosen," he said.

While living in Beijing, he spotted a market opportunity to serve authentic Yunnan food.

"Yunnan flavors are textured," he said. "There are sour, fragrant, numbing, spicy notes, and these are all from natural plants."

Restaurants in Beijing just weren't getting the flavors right — so he decided to launch his third F&B venture.

He needed money for the initial investment, so he sold an apartment his mother had given him and invested 600,000 yuan into the restaurant.

His mother was against the idea of him selling. "My mom needs to know something will have a 100% success rate before she'll do it," he said.

Hands-on management

It's been almost two years since Wu, now 31, began planning his restaurant, Yican, or Can Bistro in English. He works with a business partner, Qu Fei, who invested an additional 400,000 yuan into the business.

Learning from his previous business failure, Wu knew he wanted to open the restaurant in a busy area. He chose a commercial business park in southeast Beijing, near Sihuidong station.

They hired Yunnan chefs and slowly renovated a space that had previously been a clothing store.

The restaurant has been open for about a year. When BI visited the restaurant in early February, all 10 tables were full by noon.

Can Bistro is a dog-friendly restaurant, and a Bichon Frisé and a Schnauzer were among the guests. Diners sat on rattan chairs, eating from speckled black ceramic dishes. Steaming bowls of sour papaya fish, spicy beef, stewed chicken, and crispy tofu covered the wooden tables. Some guests washed down their meals with Asahi beer and natural wine from Yunnan.

A meal for four typically includes around six dishes. The stewed chicken, 68 yuan, has become popular. The potatoes fall apart, and the meat is perfectly tender. The sour bamboo shoots and water spinach dish is an uncommon combination in Beijing, but popular among the Dai ethnic minority in Yunnan.

Beijing's changing food scene

Over the past five years, Beijing's food scene has seen waves of restaurants open and close. "Ninety percent of bistros close in their first year," Fiona Wu, a sales professional working in Beijing's lifestyle industry, told BI.

In order to make it in the Beijing market, Fiona said restaurants need to be popular "from the beginning."

And that's where it came full circle for Wu.

"It was about looks at first," Fiona said of Can Bistro's popularity. "The look of the place, the restaurant decor, and the bosses' being handsome, attracted users on RedNote," she said, referencing the popular Chinese social media app.

Shortly after opening, Wu's marketing team posted a series of candid photos of its owners on the Chinese social media app. The photos had captions like, "Not drinking coffee unless a hot guy has made it for me." Wu said that people who saw the restaurant online began to come in person.

"Without that marketing campaign, they wouldn't have gotten so much footfall in the beginning," Fiona said.

One year after opening, Wu said he and Di have made back their initial investment. Wu said that in the summer, lines often form outside the restaurant.

Running the restaurant has meant both Wu and his business partner have had to learn each other's way of doing things.

Wu says he's happier now. He visits the restaurant every day — and still has time to play basketball twice a week.

"It's a world away from when I was at the bank."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday sent federal disease experts to assist in the response to the intensifying measles outbreak in Texas

Why it matters: The move indicates that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr and the Trump administration are starting to prioritize the response after Kennedy downplayed the threat last week, describing such outbreaks as "not unusual."

Driving the news: The CDC announced on X that it is partnering with the Texas Department of State Health Services to respond to the measles outbreak.

• The partnership, known as an Epi-Aid, is a rapid-response effort in which the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service provides local officials onsite support for one to three weeks.

Zoom in: At least 159 measles cases have been confirmed, with 22 of the patients been hospitalized, state officials said Tuesday.

• Texas announced last week that a school-age child who was not vaccinated and had no underlying health conditions was the first death in the outbreak.

What they're saying: "The measles outbreak in Texas is a call to action for all of us to reaffirm our commitment to public health," Kennedy said.

• "By working together — parents, healthcare providers, community leaders, and government officials, we can prevent future outbreaks and protect the health of our nation," he added.
• Kennedy on Tuesday also claimed on Fox News Channel Tuesday that doctors treated "over 108 patients" and are "getting very, very good results" from unconventional treatments, including the steroid budesonide and cod liver oil.
• The steroid is more commonly used to treat asthma, mild to moderate active Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease, and other inflammatory conditions.

Zoom out: Kennedy, a leading vaccine critic, wrote in an Fox News Digital on Sunday that the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine "is crucial to avoiding potentially deadly disease."

• But Kennedy emphasized that the decision to vaccinate is "a personal one."

Go deeper: RFK Jr. urges people to get vaccinated amid deadly Texas outbreak

• Trump is delivering an address to a joint session of Congress tonight.
• His speech was quickly disrupted by heckling from Rep. Al Green of Texas.
• It's not officially a State of the Union speech, but it's very similar.

President Donald Trump began his speech on Tuesday evening by declaring to the nation that the US is on the verge of a historic comeback. His opening remarks, however, were quickly disrupted by Rep. Al Green of Texas, who was escorted out of the chamber after repeated warnings from House Speaker Mike Johnson.

"Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country," Trump said in his address to Congress. "We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in 4 years or 8 years — and we are JUST GETTING STARTED."

Before he was escorted out, Green shouted, "You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!" at the president.

Trump also said he'll "Make America Affordable Again" and blamed the Biden Administration for sky-high inflation and increasing the price of eggs.

In reality, Trump inherited a US economy that has largely recovered from its pandemic lows. The price of eggs has also spiked in part due to an avian flu outbreak.

On Tuesday, ahead of his speech, markets tanked after he imposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said after markets closed on Tuesday that a compromise could "probably" be imminent.

Trump sounds like a leader gearing up for a trade war.

"Whatever they tariff us, we tariff them. Whatever they tax us, we tax them. If they do non-monetary tariffs to keep us out of their market, then we do non-monetary barriers to keep them out of our market," Trump is expected to say. "We will take in trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before."

Elon Musk, the de facto head of the White House DOGE office, is also in the chamber and wearing a suit. Former federal workers who Musk has helped fire were invited as guests by Democratic lawmakers.

It's a State of the Union address in all but name — technically, in the president's first year, it's just a joint address to Congress.

The last time Trump was in the House chamber was during the final year of his first term when he delivered his final State of the Union address on the eve of the Senate acquitting him in his first impeachment trial.

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, the January 6 insurrection, the Biden administration, and Trump's improbable political comeback.

Trump's speech could last up to two hours, according to White House press guidance. He's likely to address trade, the state of the economy, artificial intelligence, the war in Ukraine, and DOGE.

As is often the case with Trump, it's possible the president goes off-script.

This story will be updated with new details from Trump's address when it begins.
