@halbritz @CNN Congrats, my friend!

Absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve been promoted to senior national security reporter with @CNN covering the Pentagon! Covering the military, US troops and their families, and issues that matter to them is the best job there is, and I’m ecstatic to get to do it alongside such a phenomenal team.

Since the beginning of the DHS shutdown, the rate of unscheduled callouts for TSA officers has “more than doubled” nationwide, and over 300 TSA officers have left the agency, according to TSA statistics obtained by ABC News. Reporting with @ayeshaali_ & matching @NicoleSganga.

🚨 SCOOP: Madison Sheahan, who DHS Sec. Kristi Noem made second in command at ICE, wasted millions of dollars from Congress/OBBB and ordered 2,500 vehicles wrapped with its flashy logo, which ICE doesn't want and largely cannot use. Thread ⬇️ washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigra…

Noem’s tenure at DHS started and ended memorably. During her first appearance as secretary after she was sworn in, she walked out to the Trace Adkins song "Hot Mama," which bewildered DHS staff, sources said.

Noem’s tenure at DHS followed a pattern: She never took accountability for the department's missteps, according to former and current officials within DHS, and instead pointed the finger at others.

The mood inside DHS after Secretary Noem was fired shifted to relief. Noem & chief adviser Corey Lewandowski -- who is reportedly also departing DHS -- both had a knack for lashing out, yelling and berating staff that crossed them, per sources. abcnews.com/Politics/shes-…

DHS is warning of potential attacks - cyber and physical in the wake of the Iranian strikes. abcnews.com/US/department-…

How much family means to the Patriots and Mike Vrabel He arrives to Levi Stadium wearing a homemade lei from Khyiris Tonga’s mother. Says she made them for the team as well. @NBC10

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel played U2's Beautiful Day to open his 10 am PT team meeting. He told the story of Super Bowl XXXVI—and that it was a beautiful day b/c a team no one expected to win did, together. He left players with 3 words on today's plan: Belief, Identity, Rage.

ONE MORE TIME FOR THE WARRIORS.
