NEW: President Trump says he will deploy ICE to the nation's airports on Monday if Congress does not reach a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security. The Senate is in session this weekend as negotiations are ongoing. ⬇️‼️ @CBSNews

@KickNurtz Thank you for all of your hard work, Nick. You were an integral part of the weekend team and we will miss you greatly.

I am sadly among the layoffs at CBS News today. Many wonderful journalists have influenced my 3+ years here, & I'll miss them dearly. Working logistics on the DC desk and with national security & justice teams, I'll be looking for my next space. My email is nick.kurtz27@gmail.com

Hunter is a politics wizard with good relationships in the political world and total dedication to the job. He's also just a great guy. You'd be very smart to hire him ahead of the midterms.

@HunterMw This bureau will miss you greatly. Thank you for all of your important work.

I'm among those laid off by CBS News today. This is a tough business, but I'm proud of the work these last few years covering campaigns, elections and Congress. Will be looking for what's next, email is reporterwoodall@gmail.com

EXCLUSIVE: Brendan Carr doubles down on his warning to broadcasters, from @WillieJames and me cbsnews.com/news/fcc-chair…

A White House official tells me the new facility will be "state of the art in design" and says, "This President took it upon himself to modernize the experience for visitors touring the People’s House from beginning to end." ⬇️ cbsnews.com/news/white-hou…

New: President Trump announced a bombing raid on Kharg Island ⬇️ @CBSNews

Air traffic at DCA, IAD and BWI is temporarily stopped. An FAA representative tells @nbcwashington they have temporarily stopped traffic due to a strong chemical smell at the Potomac TRACON - this is the FAA facility that controls the airspace for our local airports.

My final report for CBS airs Saturday. A feature on the 88-year-old radio pioneer who has changed lives -- and become the voice of something much more important - off-the-air.

@CBSNews The action is not finalized. A White House official tells me the suspension would NOT impact American shipbuilding. The Jones Act is a 1920 maritime law requiring all goods shipped between U.S. ports to be moved on U.S.-built, U.S.-flagged and U.S.-crewed ships. @CBSNews

As oil & gas prices rise, the White House may temporarily waive the Jones Act to let foreign ships carry goods between U.S. ports. Karoline Leavitt tells me in a statement the move would be for "national defense" and to ensure energy & agricultural products flow freely. @CBSNews

NEW—In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.

Inman denies the allegations: "It has become increasingly obvious this action was a political hit job," he said in a statement to @krisvancleave. "While not my original intent I look forward to defending my reputation against those responsible with every legal means possible."

What a White House official told me about National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) member Todd Inman’s abrupt firing, after Inman said he wasn’t given a reason for his termination: ⬇️

NEWS: White House is citing use of alcohol on the job, harassment of staff, misuse of govt resources as reasons Todd Inman removed from National Transportation Safety Board, per @CBSNews @emmacnicholson. Inman was the NTSB's initial on-scene spokesman at midair collision in D.C. He said Sunday he hadn't been given reason for dismissal.

CBS News has obtained the War Powers Resolution notification President Trump sent to Congress today on the Feb. 28 strikes against Iran. In the letter, he says the threat had become “untenable,” outlines the missile and air defense targets that were hit, and acknowledges it’s not yet clear how long operations may last.

NEW: President Trump's physician tells me in a statement that the president is using a "very common cream" on his neck as a preventative skin treatment, causing the redness visible during today's ceremony. It will likely last for a few weeks. @CBSNews (Photo: @GettyImages)

President Trump stopped to inspect two new statues — which seem to be Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson — after returning from Mar-a-Lago tonight. “Unbelievable statues,” he told us. He did not answer shouted questions about Iran or the fallen U.S. service members. @CBSNews

New statue spotted in the Rose Garden this evening:

The White House called a lid at 4:25pm, which typically means we will not see POTUS for the rest of the day. However, in extraordinary circumstances, the lid is lifted and the press pool reconvenes to cover him.
