Auto travel remains dominant with 80 million Americans driving 50 miles or more, gas prices easing. Delays loom from potential air traffic controller shortages and winter storms across the Midwest and Northeast.

Biden pardons turkeys for last time at White House
President Biden spared Peach and Blossom in a light hearted South Lawn ceremony before a crowd of about 2,500. The turkeys, each 40 pounds and born July 18 on a Minnesota farm, will live out their days at Farmamerica in Waseca. The event marked Biden's final such pardon before leaving office January 20, as he bid farewell and reflected on his presidency.
