Detroit Metropolitan Airport has placed signs at the entrances to its security checkpoints, making clear that it doesn't approve of the video message. But because the areas are leased by the Transportation Security Administration, the airport operator isn't in charge of those screens. A bright yellow sign, with "attention" written in all caps, says, "The views expressed in this TSA-controlled video do not represent the views of the Wayne County Airport Authority." "The Wayne County Airport Authority does not engage in partisan politics," it adds.

San Jose Mineta International airport isn't airing a video of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for operational delays during the federal shutdown due to its political content. Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton have also chosen to not play Noem's video in their airports. In the 37-second video, Noem said airport operations are being impacted and federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees are working without pay because "Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government."

Saturday Night Live opened its latest episode with a cold open spoofing Pam Bondi's recent congressional hearing, in which the attorney general clashed with senators through evasive answers and sharp personal jabs. This week's host, Amy Poehler, played the role of Bondi, while her longtime friend and fellow SNL alum Tina Fey made a surprise cameo as Secretary of Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem - hair extensions, Botox, and AR-15 included.

President Donald Trump was joined by his Cabinet in the White House Wednesday afternoon to discuss the way in which they're combating Antifa. In late September, Trump signed an Executive Order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. As noted in a report from BBC, however, the government has previously determined that Antifa short for anti-fascist was better defined as an ideology than as a formal organization.

The last message he had texted me was the day before he passed away, Noem answered. And it said, 'We have to hold these mayors and local officials accountable for what they're doing.' I was traveling and in meetings in a different time zone and I didn't see it and missed it. I will always feel bad that I didn't respond because I would have said, 'Absolutely, I'm on it,' which I am, but I think he knew that, said Noem.

This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife-beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children, Noem said in her original, full answer.

"I'm going to be going out tonight, I'm going to keep it a secret," the president joked to radio host Todd Starnes. "I'm going to be out tonight, I think with the police, and with the military, of course. So we're going to do a job."

Senator Padilla's treatment at the hands of law enforcement officials underscores a disturbing trend of aggressive tactics against elected representatives.

"Claudia Sheinbaum came out and encouraged more protests in L.A., and I condemn her for that," Noem said. "She should not be encouraging violent protests that are going on."

I will say, before I turn it over to the next speaker, that of course everybody is welcome to come and see this incredible event... But when the time is up, they'll have to go home.
