A highly amplified atmospheric pattern over Northern Hemisphere, characterized by persistent high-latitude blocking & equatorward displacement of cold Arctic air (-AO & +TNH), will continue for the next 10+ days. Net result: warm & dry in U.S. West and cold (& maybe stormy) East.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:
