Impending Northeast Winter Storm Threatens Thanksgiving Holiday Travel

Black Friday spending online reached nearly $11 billion, breaking records. The first major lake effect snow system of the season hit parts of Pennsylvania and western New York, causing over 5 feet of snow and leading to trapped cars on highways. Plows worked to clear roads during the busy Thanksgiving travel weekend, with Sunday expected to be one of the busiest travel days of the year. The storm added pressure to Black Friday shoppers and Amazon workers who were preparing to strike. Additionally, a Native American teacher was celebrated for preserving students’ culture, while supply chain thieves targeted warehouses and shipments during the holiday season. Amidst the snowstorm and holiday chaos, Trump and Trudeau met for high-stakes tariff talks at Mar-a-Lago. On a more positive note, Native American scientists launched a forensics team to investigate Indigenous cold cases, and the Radio City Rockettes officially kicked off the holiday season. Lastly, Australia passed a landmark social media ban for children under 16 while food bank demand rose nationwide as the holiday season began.
