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

White House claims 60,000 private sector jobs were lost during shutdown
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told reporters Thursday that 60,000 non-government jobs were lost during the shutdown.
Hassett said the jobs report for the month of September could be released in the "next week," because that data has already been tabulated. He echoed remarks from the White House on Wednesday and said a key part of the October jobs report will never be released.
Hassett was asked when furloughed employees could expect to see their paychecks. He said that he expects "essential" employees to get their checks "a couple days early" and that furloughed employees can get theirs "as soon as possible."
"There really has been an aggressive effort to get people to get their checks as soon as possible," Hassett added.

DHS gives TSA agents $10,000 bonus checks
The Department of Homeland Security is giving TSA agents bonuses of up to $10,000 for those who worked during the shutdown, according to Secretary Kristi Noem.
"We are announcing that we are going to be handing out bonus checks of $10,000 to TSOs to agents who worked for TSA, who served with exemplary service," she said at an event at George H.W. Bush Airport in Houston. "And what that means is that we are going to not only continue their paychecks like they should have received all along, but also they're going to get a bonus check for stepping up, taking on extra shifts, for showing up each and every day, for serving the American people and taking seriously the mission that the Department of Homeland Security takes seriously, and that they take seriously every single day, and that's keeping the American people safe while they go and commute, commute across the country, and while they do their work and business and take care of their families."
Noem is physically handing out bonus checks to agents at the airport. It is unclear if the bonuses are for just those at Bush airport or around the country.
