Today’s Headlines: The year started with tragedy as a man drove into a crowd on Bourbon Street, killing 10 and injuring 31, in an apparent ISIS-inspired attack. Hours later, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump International in Las Vegas, injuring 7. Though connections between the two incidents are unclear, both vehicles came from the same rental company. Meanwhile, the US Treasury revealed a major cyberattack by a Chinese state-sponsored group, norovirus cases are surging nationwide, and Donald Trump lost his federal appeal, leaving him liable for $5 million to E. Jean Carroll.
