About two months under my belt @newsmax in NYC where I recently started as an anchor/correspondent I know a lot of you had been wondering where my next move was going to be and here we are. Thanks to @politico for the nod! Grateful for the opportunity!

Senate votes to confirm Mullin as DHS Secretary, 54-45. Dems Fetterman and Heinrich voted yea. Homeland Security Cmte Chair Paul was only GOP nay

@billybinion If you name your child Zeno, permission to get taxed into oblivion

I’m not trying to be unfair to this couple, who should spend their money the way they want to. But expecting taxpayers to subsidize your life when you make half a million dollars is wild to me. Just make some different choices.

This article is a great reminder that a lot of the affordability panic is self-imposed. This couple wants to live next to Central Park, “tries” to cook dinner twice a week & spends $50,000+ a year on bougie childcare when the NYC average tops out at half that. These are choices.

3pm vantage point of the Air Canada crash at LGA

The airport is on track to reopen at 2pm. As operations resume, travelers should expect residual delays and cancellations. Travelers are strongly encouraged to check with their carrier before departing for the airport.

In addition to this, I’m told @SecDuffy and @FAANews are holding their own press availability at 315 on LaGuardia crash

🚨 NTSB will be holding a press conference at 4pm on the deadly collision at LaGuardia 🚨

I was just told LaGuardia is back open and that flights will resume at 2pm A lot of airport employees and passengers walking by our live shot location Also many more ICE/HSI agents near the gates, baggage claim, security, some even in the Dunkin’ Donuts line

DHS saying yesterday saw the highest call out rate for TSA agents since shutdown began They don’t want to divulge which airports ICE will be at out of “operational security”

Three DHS agents at LaGuardia Terminal B today

All flights on the big board canceled at Terminal B here at LGA after collision overnight Live on @NEWSMAX throughout the day with updates

🚨 Talks with the Iranians are back, Trump announces pauses against strikes on energy infrastructure 🚨 How does Israel maneuver now?

In trying to ascertain details of the new, hastily-called plan to position ICE agents at airports to assist with security screening (i.e. at which airports, how many agents, and for how long), DHS sends me this statement Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis:   “Because of the Democrat shutdown, President Trump is using every tool available to help American travelers who are facing hours long lines at airports across the country—especially during this spring break and holiday season that is very important for many American families. This pointless, reckless shutdown of our homeland security workforce has caused more than 400 TSA officers to quit and thousands to call out from work because they are not able to afford gas, childcare, food, or rent. While the Democrats continue to put the safety, dependability, and ease of our air travel at risk, President Trump is taking action to deploy hundreds of ICE officers, that are currently funded by Congress, to airports being adversely impacted. This will help bolster TSA efforts to keep our skies safe and minimize air travel disruptions.”

Maybe the president feels so unencumbered to disparage his enemies when they die because he knows when he goes it’ll be an order of magnitude more vitriolic (yes I’m assigning him a lot of self-awareness)

Robert Mueller is the only FBI Director to be unanimously confirmed twice by the U.S. Senate and also be nominated by Presidents from two different political parties, 98-0 in 2001 for the George W. Bush Administration and 100-0 in 2011 for the Obama Administration. He died Friday at age 81. RIP

Trump reacting to news of Mueller’s death in almost real time

Mueller's family announced in August of last year the former special counsel had Parkinson's Disease

MSNOW reporting Robert Mueller has died at 81

Trump says he’ll offer ICE to do security at airports around the country to unclog bottlenecks as TSA agents are strapped at work without pay

@jbillinson Collar unbuttoned, tie perfectly relaxed

I don’t actually hate the Edward R. Murrow cosplay here but they should let him smoke a cig or at least pump some haze in to get the ambiance right

Musk offering to pay TSA workers as DHS partial shutdown drags on and the airport lines get longer and longer
