1. Right off the bat, we want to get you the latest on the search and rescue mission in Texas. The death toll has now surpassed 100. At least 105 people are dead across six counties, after catastrophic flooding over the weekend. Dozens of the dead are kids. Hope is fading fast that crews will find survivors at this point. About two dozen people are still missing. Search teams include 20 state agencies and hundreds of volunteers.
2. The long-standing requirement for most air travelers to take off their shoes as part of the security screening process is being phased out. But it's not a nationwide policy just yet, the change is being implemented gradually. It's recommended to check with your specific airport for the most up-to-date information on their security procedures before your trip. The policy started in 2006, after authorities stopped a man who tried to carry an explosive device in his shoe. Passengers with TSA Pre Check, no changes here, you've been able to keep your shoes on for years.
3. The Trump Administration just announced a seven-point plan to secure U.S. farmland and farmers from 'bad actors' abroad.

AG Secretary Brooke Rollins says she's already canceled several contracts with foreign entities. In a nutshell, you have the Trump administration out with a new plan to protect our farms from foreign threats.
