Scheme not yet complete, red top and some lining still to go on, but I cannot express strongly enough how much easier and safer this route feels compared to how it was before!

Arctic invasion, courtesy of Greenland! No, really! Let me explain.
On Sunday AM much of #Florida will be colder than some towns in Greenland, specifically due to the “warm” Greenland Block”, a common feature of cold US winters, when relatively warm air in #Greenland & the Arctic force cold south.

Sea surface temperatures across the northern Atlantic were still warmer than any years since the mid-1800s in December, but they remain well below their recent peak... a good reminder of both climate change and variability.

I would beseech the national media to stop writing sentences like one I just read that said basically "ICE's time in Minnesota is almost up." That is NOT an established fact. Please do not turn away. Please check the readily available information from people on the ground and local journalists.
From everything I’m hearing and reading, nothing in the ground in the Twin Cities has meaningfully changed.

The Trump administration appears to have arrested journalist Don Lemon for his coverage of the protests in Minnesota. The fact that they've chosen to target a Black, gay journalist is both predictable and significant.
Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Yes.
In any other context, requiring a high-productivity sector to offshore the production of its highest value-added exports would be seen as the economic illiteracy it so obviously is...
