Great job by Deputy Bradley Chang from the Miami Dade Sheriff’s Office, Florida.

He was named Distinguished Officer of the Year for 2024 for his heroic actions during a dangerous incident on January 17, 2024. When confronted by an armed suspect who opened fire on his team, Deputy Chang neutralized the threat and quickly provided medical aid to the injured officers.

His quick response and teamwork helped save lives and ensure timely medical treatment, earning him the recognition. Well done Brother. 💙

The commanding officer of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman has been fired following a collision with a cargo ship near the Suez Canal, the Navy announced Thursday.

Capt. Dave Snowden was relieved of duty on Thursday due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command, the service said in a statement the same day.

Snowden, who had served as the aircraft carrier’s commanding officer since December 2023, will be temporarily assigned to Naval Air Forces Atlantic.

“The U.S. Navy holds commanding officers to the highest standard and takes action to hold them accountable when those standards are not met. Naval leaders are entrusted with significant responsibilities to their sailors and their ships,” the Navy said. Christopher Hill, commanding officer of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, will temporarily serve as Truman’s interim commanding officer, the Navy said.

I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support.

The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicalization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today.

My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI.

Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the Bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of.

And to those who seek to harm Americans—consider this your warning. We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet.

Mission First. America Always. Let’s get to work.

FBI Director Kash Patel
