THE LEAD: FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER FLYNN SPLITS FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP
While most American’s were digesting turkey and football last night, The New York Times broke a story on the ongoing investigation into President Trump’s campaign ties to Russia.
Here’s the Times’ summary:
“Lawyers for Michael Flynn and President Trump are no longer talking, four people involved in the case told us.
It’s a sign that the former national security adviser is either cooperating with prosecutors who are investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, or negotiating a deal with them.
Both Mr. Flynn, an early adviser to the president, and his son, Michael Flynn Jr., are seen as having significant criminal exposure. The White House has said that neither Mr. Flynn nor other former aides have incriminating information to provide about Mr. Trump.”
Stay tuned on this development.

Vice published an interesting article yesterday in which they visited some college dorm rooms and asked students to explain why the put up what they put up.
This was the key (and we gotta agree, true) premise: “People (like me) are going to judge you based on what you have on your walls. Your ‘Live Laugh Love’ poster is going to say a lot more about you than anything you could actually say. Especially in college, where your drunk floor-mates are inevitably going to end up in your dorm room looking at them.”
