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

First lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump held an executive order signing in the White House East Room on Thursday focused on expanding financial and educational opportunities for young people transitioning out of foster care. The "Fostering the Future" program outlined on Thursday is part of the first lady's "Be Best" initiative.

"I predict this small spark today will ignite a profound and lasting nationwide movement," Melania Trump said in remarks. "Our united to resolve will foster a thriving future filled with compassion and innovation. Together, we will illuminate the pathway for today's foster children to become tomorrow's builders. And tomorrow's builders will foster the future of America's legacy."

President Trump, outlining the initiative further, said "all of this has been made possible by Melania's incredible devotion to America's youth."

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.

The State Department on Thursday announced it is designating Antifa Ost, the Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front, the Armed Proletarian Justice and the Revolutionary Class Self-Defense as "Specially Designated Global Terrorists" and intends to designate all four groups as "Foreign Terrorist Organizations" effective Nov. 20.

In a social media post, the State Department wrote: "Anarchist militants have waged terror campaigns in the United States and Europe, conspiring to undermine the foundations of Western Civilization through their brutal attacks. The State Department will designate these four Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Organizations."

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.
