Hi, I'm Andrew Ross Sorkin, co-host of Squawk Box. Today, I'm with Joe Kernan, and this is

five things to know before today's opening bell. U.S. Airlines predicting a record-breaking

Thanksgiving travel period with 31 million people taking to the skies. The busiest day expected

to be the Sunday after Thanksgiving with 3.4 million passengers.

Meantime, the Department of Government Efficiency, it now has ceased to exist. It was supposed to be

in operation until July of next year, but the Trump administration's chief human resources

officer now saying the initiative has come to an end. He said it's up to individual agencies

to carry out Doja's cost-cutting mission.

And new reports say that Coles will name its interim CEO, Michael Bender, as its permanent

CEO. This after interviewing several candidates for that role, Bender has served as interim chief

since the spring has been on the board since 2019. And the FBI says that it's investigating a recent banking sector

hack attack targeting Citus AMC. That's a tech vendor for real estate lending that counts JPMorgan,

Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley as clients. The agency is saying that the firms learned of that

breach on November 12th, and it is now

they're saying contained. And Eli Lilly reaching a market valuation of $1 trillion, that's with a

T, in trading on Friday, becoming the first health care company and only non-tech company other than

Berkshire Hathaway in the trillion dollar club. But it's pulling back this

morning after rival Novo Norteur said its semi-glutide trial did not reduce Alzheimer's progression,

hoping that some of those expectations might be met, Joe.

It's impossible.
