Great summary of the season.
We can call the 2025 hurricane season a lot of things but quiet only applies to the U.S. Here's my recap of the tumultuous hurricane season that left no shortage of big records. ⬇️

Bookmark this for the investigations to come: the Trump team’s boat bombings trace back to at least 2018. That’s when White House officials asked me & others about whether they could do something like this.
We said it was illegal then. Now they’ve done it anyway.

More than a dozen children were taken out of a Chicago apartment building during a federal immigration raid.
One man said he worried about his 6-year-old nephew, who clung to his legs when agents knocked down the door.

A few of the dozens of pictures I took at the Camille Pissaro exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. I really recommend seeing this exhibit before it closes on 2/6/26. Many of the pieces are from museums around the world. Others are privately owned. #DenverArtMuseum #Pissaro
