Can I still travel in the US without a REAL ID?

No, as of May 7, 2025, you will generally need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification to fly domestically within the US. Non-REAL ID-compliant state-issued ID cards will no longer be accepted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). https://www.dhs.gov/real-id

What you can use instead of a REAL ID:
    Passport: A valid U.S. passport is always an acceptable form of identification for domestic travel.
    Passport Card: A valid U.S. passport card is also acceptable.
    Enhanced Driver's License: If your state issues them, these are also acceptable.
    Other acceptable forms: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a list of other acceptable forms of ID, such as a U.S. Department of Defense ID, a U.S. military ID, or a DHS trusted traveler card. 

Acceptable Identification at the TSA Checkpoint
Adult passengers 18 and older must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint in order to travel.
The list of acceptable IDs is subject to change without notice. TSA strongly encourages you check this list again before traveling, so you do not arrive at the airport without acceptable ID.
    Driver's licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles(or equivalent)
        - Beginning May 7, 2025, if you plan to use your state-issued ID or license to fly within the U.S., it must be REAL ID compliant. If you are not sure if your ID complies with REAL ID, check with your state department of motor vehicles.
