A holiday warning

November 22. 2016  View this email in your browser Trump is making plans, and the State Department has issued a warning (these things are unrelated). Here's what you need to know to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door.  By AJ Willingham 1. Europe terror  The US issued a travel alert for Europe ahead of the holiday season, urging tourists to be cautious around Christmas markets and festivals. The alert came after French authorities thwarted a terror plot over the weekend that was linked to ISIS and Syria.  2. School bus crash  Six children are dead after a fatal school bus crash in Tennessee. The driver of the bus has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment and reckless driving. The crash happened Monday afternoon when the bus hit a tree.  3. Trump administration  Donald Trump has rolled out his policy plan for his first 100 days in office. In it: Reworking trade negotiations, canceling environmental restrictions, national security moves and lobbying bans. Not in it: Mexican border walls, "deportation forces" and Obamacare repeals. Also, good news: Stocks continue to rally following the election. They hit a record high yesterday.  4. Japan quake  A 6.9-magnitude quake hit off the east coast of Japan on Tuesday morning, setting off tsunami warnings in the country's Fukushima and Miyagi Prefectures. If that sounds familiar, it's because Fukushima was the site of the catastrophic 2011 quake that killed more than 20,000 people. Luckily, no deaths have been reported from this quake.  5. Steve Bannon While Trump is making plans and inspiring stock market rallies, his chief strategist pick Steve Bannon continues to catch criticism. In a Canadian TV interview, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean called Bannon a "Nazi," as well as anti-woman and anti-Black. Bannon, for his part, denied supporting the white nationalism of the alt-right movement he inspires, instead calling himself an "economic nationalist."  Share Tweet Forward Breakfast Browse People are talking about these.
