Scot Bertram, Music stars coming together to raise money for those affected by LA wildfires

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is tapping his state's attorney general to fill Marco Rubio's U.S. Senate seat.  Ashley Moody will serve in the Senate until a special election is held next year.  President-elect Trump selected Rubio to be his secretary of state. 

 

Two ----  The FDA is authorizing Zyn nicotine pouches to be sold.  This comes after the agency said they conducted an "extensive scientific review" on the pouches safety.  The agency said it found the pouches posed a lower cancer risk than cigarettes and other smokeless tobacco products, and also found it could help cigarette smokers trying to quit. 

 

And number three — Some of music's biggest stars are coming together to raise money for those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.  Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been booked to perform at the FireAid Benefit concert.  Green Day, Jelly Roll, Earth, Wind & Fire, Katy Perry, and more will also be on the lineup.  By the way, two massive fires are still raging in the Los Angeles area. Lighter winds yesterday allowed firefighters to make better progress in attempts to bring them under control, for now.
