United States Capitol

The United States Capitol is the building in Washington, D.C., that serves as the meeting place for the United States Congress. Recent news articles highlight its relevance in the context of President Donald Trump's activities and political developments. Trump delivered his State of the Union address there in February 2026. Furthermore, RFK Jr. appeared before the Senate Finance Committee at the Capitol for his confirmation hearing as Secretary of Health and Human Services in 2025. A man pardoned by Trump for attacking the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was recently found guilty of child abuse, linking the Capitol to past events and their ongoing consequences. The Capitol remains a central symbol of American democracy and a focal point for political events, legislative actions, and presidential addresses, making it consistently newsworthy.
