After leaving her role performing the duties of the chief information officer for the Department of Defense last month, Katie Arrington has taken a new position as CIO at quantum computing company IonQ. Arrington will step into the role Jan. 19, reporting to the company's COO and CFO Inder Singh, IonQ announced Wednesday. Kirsten Davies was nominated by President Donald Trump in May 2025 to be the Defense Department CIO, and it took most of the remainder of 2025 for the Senate to confirm her into the role. She was sworn in just before the Christmas holiday, at which point Arrington stepped away from her service to the Pentagon. In joining IonQ, Arrington will serve on the company's executive team. As CIO, Arrington will continue to support the U.S. military from a different vantage, leading modernization and security of IonQ's enterprise systems in support of its mission to deliver quantum capabilities to American warfighters. Before rejoining the Pentagon a year ago, then as deputy CIO for cybersecurity, Arrington had a previous stint as CISO in the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, where she was largely responsible for the development of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. Now: President Donald Trump re-nominated Sean Plankey to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Tuesday, after Plankey's bid for the position ended last year stuck in the Senate. It's not clear whether or how Plankey's resubmitted nomination will overcome the hurdles that left many observers convinced his chance of becoming CISA director had likely ended, but it does definitively signal that the Trump administration still wants Plankey to have the job. Plankey's nomination was included in a batch sent to the Senate announced on Tuesday. CISA spent all of 2025 under Trump without a permanent director. Trump nominated Plankey, who held a couple cybersecurity roles in the first Trump administration, to lead CISA in March. He got a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing in July, then won approval from that panel that same month. But Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., had placed a hold on Plankey's nomination over a Coast Guard contract that the Homeland Security Department had canceled in part. While he awaited confirmation, Plankey had been serving as a senior adviser to the secretary for the Coast Guard. A spokesperson for Scott did not immediately respond to a request for comment. North Carolina's GOP Senate delegation also had placed holds on DHS nominees related to disaster aid to their state. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said last week that the holds would remain until Secretary Kristi Noem appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee. A White House official had denied reports that Plankey's nomination was all but over last year. “President Trump has been clear that he wants all of his nominees confirmed as quickly as possible, including Sean Plankey, who will play a key role in ensuring a strong cyber defense infrastructure,” the official told CyberScoop. Asked Wednesday at the Surface Navy Association national symposium about what he was doing to convince senators to lift their holds, Plankey answered, “The administration, the White House has to say that this is a priority of us.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

When considering new ideas for modernizing the federal civil service, look no further than, Nashville. Yes Tennessee's 2012 civil service reform, while not a perfect match for the federal system, does provide a compelling demonstration that thoughtful reform is possible. The Volunteer State modernized its system with a mix of performance-based policies, updated appeals processes, and a shift in employment presumptions, which created some positive results. Jeff Neal, who is senior vice president of ICF International as well as former chief human capitol officer for the Homeland Security Department, recently analyzed Tennessee's initiative and found some lessons the federal government could learn from it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump has deployed National Guard units to the streets of Los Angeles in response to what are not “peaceful protests,” but riots organized by powerful Communist and aligned groups.  Their goal isn't merely preventing the implementation of Mr. Trump's electoral mandate to deport millions of illegal aliens. It's the precursor to likely violent nationwide resistance to his presidency apparently planned to begin in earnest on June 14th.  Predictably, California Governor Gavin Newscom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, who recently allowed wildfires to destroy large swathes of Los Angeles, object to such efforts to end the mayhem. In fact, the Homeland Security Department says they are contributing to it. President Trump is right to nip in the bud this prospective insurrection, rather than contend with its desired consequences – which will make those of 2020's so-called “Summer of Love” pale by comparison.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Elon Musk calls the budget reconciliation bill that contains a lot of the President and Congressional Republicans' tax & spending agenda – the one known as the One Big Beautiful Bill -- "massive, outrageous, pork-filled" and a "disgusting abomination"; Some Senate Republicans see it that way, as well, and it could jeopardize passage. Meetings are reportedly scheduled this week to try to work it out; Education Secretary Linda McMahon testifies about proposed budget cuts at her department, including zeroing out programs designed to help those from disadvantaged communities access higher education; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is asked about a report that the FEMA Acting Administrator said at a staff meeting that he did not know there was a 'hurricane season'; Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) calls for an investigation after one of his staff members was put in handcuffs by Homeland Security Department officers who entered the congressman's office in NYC, they said to look for rioters. The Congressman says they had invited immigration rights advocates who had witnessed federal agents detaining migrants outside courtroom in the same building; more reports of Palestinians shot and killed near humanitarian aid stations in Gaza.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/10/2024): 3:05pm- On Monday, police arrested a person of interest in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson—who had been specifically targeted and shot in Manhattan last week. Police arrested Luigi Mangione at a McDonald's restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania. According to reports, Mangione was carrying a handwritten manifesto critical of the health insurance industry as well as a firearm, bullets, and multiple fraudulent forms of identification. While appearing on CNN, a former roommate revealed that the suspect suffered from a severe back condition which prevented him from doing “basic things.” 3:10pm- The far-left has attempted to justify the slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. On Bluesky, former Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz posted: “And people wonder why we want these executives dead.” She appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored Monday night and explained that she felt “joy” when she found out about the murder—baselessly accusing Thompson of being responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of Americans. 3:15pm- During an event at the Princeton Public Library, Governor Phil Murphy was asked about mysterious flying objects that have appeared regularly at night throughout North and Central New Jersey. Murphy explained that the FBI and Homeland Security Department are investigating the sightings—and have determined that they are “very sophisticated” objects. 3:30pm- On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre commented on the mysterious flying objects that have been sighted in New Jersey. She did not rule out the possibility that they are drones from a foreign adversary. 3:45pm- Congressman Jeff Van Drew—United States Representative for New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the mysterious flying objects appearing regularly at night in North and Central New Jersey. Could they be Chinese drones? And why don't we have definitive answers yet? 4:05pm- On Monday, Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) signed the Freedom to Read Act from Princeton Library's children section—baselessly accusing Republicans of wanting to ban books. Rich notes that political stunts like this are why Republicans have a real chance to win the state's 2025 gubernatorial race. 4:10pm- Appearing on Fox News, Scott Presler vowed to register voters in Wildwood, New Jersey in hopes of flipping the state red. 4:30pm- What are the mysterious flying objects being investigated in New Jersey? Rich recalls Chinese spy balloons being allowed to float across American airspace for a week before ultimately being shot down. Could these objects be Chinese drones attempting to collect information from nearby military bases? 4:45pm- Dawn Stensland says Matt's laugh has become less girly—Rich insists it's as girly as ever! Plus, do you like the disco sounds in the Zeoli show promo? Matt claims it sounds “hip,” but no one else seems to agree. 5:05pm- On Monday, a New York jury found Daniel Penny not guilty in the death of Jordan Neely. Neely had threatened to kill passengers while riding the New York subway when Penny stepped in and restrained him via a chokehold. Neely died shortly after. While many legal experts believe it was bizarre Penny was even charged with a crime in the first place, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez condemned the jury's decision and said Penny belongs in prison. Meanwhile, following the verdict, Black Lives Matter activist and founder Hawk Newsome shamelessly called for vigilante justice for the death of Neely. Rich notes that Neely's death is unfortunate—though, that does not mean Penny is racist or guilty of a crime. 5:25pm- What are the mysterious flying objects being investigated in New Jersey?

President Joe Biden delivered remarks on June 6, commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day landings at the Normandy American Cemetery in northwestern France. “History tells us freedom is not free. If you want to know the price of freedom, come here to Normandy,” President Biden said during a nearly three-hour ceremony honoring those killed during D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. The president was accompanied by First Lady Jill Biden as well as French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron. On day four of Hunter Biden's federal gun trial in Wilmington, Delaware, defense lawyers cross-examined the firearms dealer who sold Mr. Biden the gun in 2018. Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter Biden's late brother, Beau, took the stand after that. The president's son is accused of illegally purchasing and possessing a gun while abusing or being addicted to drugs, a violation of federal law. He pleaded not guilty to the three charges, though he's been open about his struggles with alcohol and crack cocaine addiction. The charges were brought by special counsel David Weiss. Border authorities are already starting to deport migrants, after President Biden invoked presidential powers to stop asylum processing when arrests for illegal crossings top 2,500 in a day. The Associated Press cited two senior Homeland Security Department officials who confirmed the first deportations under the new rule took place Wednesday, though they did not say how many were deported. The officials briefed reporters on condition their names not be used in keeping with regulations. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
