House Democrats are clamping down on disruptions at President Trump's upcoming State of the Union in the hopes of putting on a more stolid display of opposition, sources told Axios.

Why it matters: Last year's speech to a joint session of Congress was rocked by Democrats holding up signs, heckling and walking out of the speech in displays of resistance.

---

• Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was ejected from the speech and later censured for standing up and repeatedly shouting at the beginning of the speech.
• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) privately confronted some of the members who put on more exuberant shows of opposition.

Driving the news: In a meeting of House Democrats' whip team Wednesday morning, Jeffries said there were "two options" for how to approach the State of the Union, according to a senior House Democrat and another source in the meeting.

• The first option: Lawmakers can boycott the event, as has been done in recent years for speeches given by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
• The second: They can sit in "silent defiance," which was Democratic leadership's preferred tactic for last year's speech.

What we're hearing: There is little chatter in the caucus right now about progressives or any other group disrupting Trump's speech, the senior House Democrat told Axios.

• Instead, they said, the more resistance-minded lawmakers are expected to skip the event and go to an "alternative viewing site."

Amazon has a rare discount on Apple's USB-C Magic Mouse right now. You can grab the white version for $68, which is 14 percent off its usual price.

The multi-touch mouse was first released in 2009 with a modest refresh released in 2015 and the addition of a USB-C port in 2024. The rechargeable mouse features gesture controls and automatically pairs with your Mac when connected via USB. The Magic Mouse can also be used with an iPad via Bluetooth, or with a Windows PC, though in that case, functionality would be limited.

Famously, Jony Ive's design of the Magic Mouse sees its charge port on the underside of the body, rendering it unusable while charging. In 2024 there were rumors of a more comprehensive redesign coming but nothing has materialized since.
