The White House Correspondents’ Weekend Garden Brunch marked its 32nd year on Saturday, April 26. Actor Jason Isaacs, star of The White Lotus Season 3, joined Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)—co-chair of the Congressional Fire Services (Firefighters) Caucus—to present Garden Brunch awards to the first-responder heroes of January’s mid-air disaster, when American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with an Army UH-60 Black Hawk near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Among the honorees was former Marine and rookie D.C. firefighter Sean Wathen, who kept vigil for nearly four hours beside the body of Staff Sgt. Ryan O’Hara after the crash.

The 2025 Garden Brunch was co-hosted by Tammy Haddad, Kevin Sheekey, Mark and Sally Ein, David Urban, Teresa Carlson, and Franco Nuschese.
