1. Trump's 'thank you tour' begins
President-elect Trump is taking a victory lap of the midwest, jetting to Indiana to visit the Carrier factory. Trump claims to have saved more than 1,100 jobs at the heating and air-conditioning company from being outsourced overseas.
However, at least 1,000 Carrier jobs are still heading to Mexico. The company got $700,000 in tax breaks annually from the state of Indiana to stay.

4. How a dubious tweet found Trump's megaphone
Earlier this week Trump tweeted that “millions” of people voted illegally in the election, despite providing no evidence to substantiate the claim. Trump’s random tweet seems to have been inspired by another random tweet on 12 November by a little-known Republican official. He also offered no evidence.

5. Buy your own 'Madam President' mag
Newsweek advance-printed 125,000 copies of its “Madam President” edition before the election, so confident were they of a Clinton win.
The magazine got removed from shelves – but not before some were sold, creating a collector’s edition now being sold on eBay.
