Flight reductions across 40 major airports nationwide will end Monday morning.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that Americans will begin to feel the White House's efforts to rein in the cost of living in the first two quarters of 2026.
"I think Americans are going to feel it in the first quarter, second quarter, I think 2026, thanks to President Trump's signature plans, is going to be a great year for working Americans, for the markets," Bessent told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump faces fallout from the release of messages sent by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that mention Trump, and bipartisan pressure is ramping up on the administration to release the rest of the Epstein files.
Surrounded by Republican members of Congress and some members of his Cabinet, Trump signed the funding bill that the House passed earlier in the evening.
Trump continues to attack Democrats for the shutdown, saying the majority of them were happy to watch the American people “suffer” while they tried to appease their radical left base.
Speaker Mike Johnson, at a news conference following the government funding vote on Wednesday night, said he spoke to Senate Majority Leader John Thune about his opposition to the Senate phone record provision that was tucked into the funding package.
The provision allows senators to sue the government if their phone records are investigated without notifying them.
Eight Republican senators had their phone records subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith as part of his investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The provision would allow them to seek hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
“We've had a great working relationship and a good friendship. He's a trustworthy, honest broker, and that's why I was so surprised when we found out about that provision,” Johnson said of Thune. “I was very angry about it. I was and a lot of my members called me.”
“I think he [Thune] regretted the way it was done,” Johnson added. “And we had an honest conversation about that. I didn't ask him for any commitment at that time because I had a lot on my plate today.”
He reiterated that the House will vote on a standalone bill to repeal the provision in the Senate bill early next week under suspension, which requires a two-thirds majority.
“I think that was way out of line. I don't think that was a smart thing… and the House is going to reverse -- we are going to repeal that, and I'm going to expect our colleagues in the Senate to do the same thing,” he said.
