President Biden is set to address a joint session of Congress this evening in his first State of the Union address. Ahead of Biden’s speech, the Pentagon called up several hundred National Guard soldiers; meanwhile, police re-erected a security barrier on Capitol grounds that was first set up last year in the wake of the January 6 insurrection. Far-right groups have announced plans for a “trucker convoy” protest outside the State of the Union, modeled after protests that paralyzed the Canadian capital for weeks. Those plans are in doubt after several trucks involved in the so-called People’s Convoy crashed in Oklahoma on their way to Washington, D.C.
