Charlie Kirk was the Golden Dome.

Single-handedly.

Stopping Trump.

Yeah, no.

It's just a silly idea.

For our first big story, let's talk about airports.

Everyone's favorite way to spend five to who knows however... Impossible to say.

Yeah, an impossible amount.

Oh, God.

No way to know.

DHS has been shut down for over a month now, and more than 400 TS agents have quit after being left without pay, while ICE agents continue to receive paychecks through last year's big, beautiful bill.

This past weekend, Trump announced ICE would be deployed to airports to assist TSA during the shutdown.

By Monday morning, ICE agents had been sent to airports in Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Fort Myers, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Juan, Newark, and the two New York airports.

Interestingly, come Monday, when ICE was spotted, they were not wearing masks, which seems to go against agency claims that masks are for protecting agents against so-called doxing.

That morning, Trump truthed, quote, I'm a big proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for and are forced to deal with hardened criminals.

I would greatly appreciate, however, no masks in all caps when helping our country out of the Democrat caused mess at the airports, etc.

Thank you.

Later on Monday, Trump was asked whose idea it was to send ICE to airports.

And he had this fascinating response.

Mine.
