Scot Bertram | TSA to Require a REAL ID in order to take Flight

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — Ford Motor Company has announced that it would allow car shoppers to buy its 2024-25 vehicles at the discounted price the automaker offers to its employees. Called "From America, For America," the promotion was unveiled on the same day a new 25% U.S. tariff on foreign vehicles took effect.

 

Two ----  Former heart surgeon and TV star Dr. Mehmet Oz was confirmed Thursday to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The 64-year-old will manage health insurance programs for roughly half the country, with oversight of Medicare, Medicaid or Affordable Care Act coverage.

 

And number three —   The TSA's deadline to have a REAL ID license is just over a month away.  Starting May 7th, Americans will need to have a REAL-ID compliant driver’s license to take domestic and international flights.  If you don't have one, you’ll need a passport or secondary ID to travel through security checkpoints. Unless, of course, they postpone this deadline yet again.
