The, um, bad news here is that the 1978–79 season ended up with a record 89.7” of snowfall.

Chicago's off to a snowy start to the winter season. Chicago's already experienced nearly the same amount as snow as all of last season. This is the quickest start to winter since 1978, when 24.1" of snow fall by December 7.

Amtrak's restored service between New Orleans and Mobile has far exceeded initial ridership projections since launch in August, just like what happened when the Borealis service was established between Chicago and St. Paul last year.
Amtrak is currently expecting to double the first-year estimates.

Gulf Coast train line is among the most successful in Amtrak’s history. See ridership totals.
The route’s early success has raised hope for some advocates of regional train travel. See how many people have taken the train since its launch in August.

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Worth comparing this with CPD Supt Snelling two days after Brighton Park shooting, + testimony of CPD brass (including Chief of Dets) at budget hearing.
Worth noting, also: no PD has power all its own. Every chief/supt reports up to someone else. Every agency has, allegedly, legislative oversight.

Turns out police superintendents CAN order their officers to intervene in unlawful immigration detentions.

Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Trump was every bit the co-architect of that farce. That was not a thing that happened to him it was a thing he co-authored.
It is humiliating *because* he wanted it.

It's almost impossible to make me feel sorry for Trump, but the sheer depth of his brokeness, combined with his age, the utter humiliation involved in this farce was making me legit sad.
