Trump admin live updates: FAA flight cuts to end Monday morning

While in Boston for a Coast Guard Academy football game on Saturday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stopped by Boston Logan International Airport to hand out bonus checks to 270 TSA employees.

"Despite not receiving a paycheck, our TSA officers at Logan Airport kept travelers safe during the Democrats’ government shutdown," Noem posted on X. "Over 270 TSA officers at Logan Airport didn’t miss a shift. These individuals will all be receiving a $10,000 bonus for going above and beyond to serve their fellow Americans during the shutdown. Thank you all for keeping us safe everyday."

Along with the message, Noem posted photos of herself handing out envelopes containing checks to TSA employees.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that people should begin to feel the impact of the White House’s efforts to rein in the cost of living in the first two quarters of next year.

“I think we are going to see a substantial acceleration in the economy in the first, second quarter. And I think we are also, we're already seeing on many prices,” Bessent told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “As I said, we're bending, bending that curve down and the increase in real incomes, 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, I call it parallel prosperity — Main Street and Wall Street can both do great but I think Main Street is going to have a great year in 2026.

Bessent's comments follow Trump's signing of an executive order on Friday that modified his reciprocal tariffs to lower prices on many foods.

Following the Indiana state Senate failing to secure the votes to pass redrawing the state’s congressional map, Trump threatened to primary any Republican who does not support redistricting efforts.

"Any Republican that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED," Trump wrote on his social media platform.

Trump went on to threaten to help push out Indiana state Sens. Rodric Bray, Greg Goode and others.

"Senators Bray, Goode, and the others to be released to the public later this afternoon, should DO THEIR JOB, AND DO IT NOW! If not, let’s get them out of office, ASAP," Trump wrote.

The USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group entered the Caribbean Sea Sunday, according to a U.S. Navy press release. The carrier and the three destroyers accompanying it have been in the western Atlantic Ocean since Nov. 11 while they made their way in a southwest direction towards the Caribbean. The ships entered the Caribbean through the Arenada Passage, the body of water separating the Virgin Islands from Anguilla.

The four ships in the strike group join the seven others that have been operating in the Caribbean for the last couple of months in what is known as Operation Southern Spear, targeting Latin American drug cartels, according to the Trump administration.

The carrier has more than 60 aircraft aboard, most of them fighter aircraft, raising the question of how they may be employed in the operations against the drug cartels, which has raised concerns that Venezuelan land targets might be next.

There are now 15,000 U.S. military forces operating in the Caribbean, the largest such presence in decades.

The government of Trinidad and Tobago announced on Friday that beginning Sunday, some of the 2,200 Marines from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) aboard three amphibious ships would begin joint training on the islands on Sunday.

At its closest point, Trinidad and Tobago are just 30 miles from the coast of Venezuela.

Some of the MEU’s helicopters will be involved in the training that will take place during evening and nighttime hours in rural and urban areas.
