President-elect Donald Trump¹ is beginning to fill out the governing team. Trump announced Friday he intends to nominate Senator Jeff Sessions to serve the Attorney General and Representative Mike Pompeo as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Lieutenant² General Michael Flynn has been elected as National Security Advisor³.

President-elect Trump is due to meet 2012 Republican presidential nominee⁴ Mitt⁵ Romney this weekend. During the 2016 campaign, the 2 traded accusations⁶. Romney lambasted Trump as a Florida caveman and in response, Trump called Romney a loser.

Hundreds were forced to leave their homes in the western Chile as a result of massive wildfire. The fire is counted affecting nearly 1,500 acres of pastorline, birch, eucalyptus⁷ and pine trees, make it hard to extinguish.

And turkey help is now in a text way. Cooks with questions ranging from how big of a bird they need for the holiday to how to sort out our turkey now have an option. They can text 1800 buttonballs.
