SSTs are roughly 25 days away from their mid-year peak. Will they break 21.0°C again? The climate 8-ball says that SSTs are the canary in the ... oh, never mind.

Hillary Clinton pulls no punches. The Trump Administration is just dumb.

For example:

"Mr. Trump’s own former secretary of defense Jim Mattis, a retired Marine Corps 4-star general, told Congress, “If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.”

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

Yes, beyond everything that is happening. The attack on the American republic, the coming economic carnage, this is a day of great, great shame that we have targeted and attacked our dearest friends and partners.
"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

the media has now more or less uniformly adopted the theory that the president is allowed to violate the law and constitution however much he wants to so long as he says he is going to do it in advance

When the wealthiest man in the world, who is actively interfering in the politics of the US, the UK, and Germany, throws a "Sieg Hiel" twice in front of a huge crowd and cameras, I think that should be the biggest story of the day.

As we inch up to 1/20, we have abandoned the fear of what’s coming. What’s coming is a federal government incapable of reacting to domestic or world crises with any degree of competence and any response will have to be ok with Russia. Our place in the world is about to change for a very long time.

As we start the new year, I would like to remind everyone that it is now almost 120 years since the US decided consumer protection - by which I mean regulation - mattered. Given the upcoming presidential inauguration, let's talk about how that happened - and why it's so important. (A thread)
