Trump Taps Bessent to Lead Treasury

President-elect Donald Trump added nominees for his economic team this weekend with the nomination of Scott Bessent, a supporter of his tariffs strategy, for Treasury secretary.

Russell Vought has been chosen to lead the Office of Management and Budget, and Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer was nominated for Secretary of Labor.

Trump also made nominations at health agencies, including former Rep. Dave Weldon to head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Marty Makary for FDA Commissioner, and Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General.

Storms in Forecast for Thanksgiving Travel

A major storm dumped heavy snow and record rain in California on Saturday, while winter storm warnings were in effect from the Northeast to central Appalachia.

The holiday week will start with stormy conditions on the West Coast before moving over the Great Lakes. Nearly 80 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles or more on the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday afterward.

A low-pressure system will bring rain to the Southeast early on Thanksgiving Day before heading to the Northeast, where areas from Boston to New York could see rain and strong winds.

New York to Close Migrant Shelters

New York will shutter 12 migrant shelters before the end of the year.

Two hotels-turned-migrant shelters in the city have already closed, while 10 others across the state are earmarked for closure by Dec. 31.

City taxpayers were footing a $352 nightly bill per migrant with just $130 of that total going to the hotels for housing. The remaining payments covered costs such as social services, food, and cleaning.

Migrants at Long Island City shelter say they have been served moldy sandwiches, meals that smell foul, and food that is still partially frozen.
