Snow potential index — 2/10 (↑): Outside chance of a modest accumulation early Tues before rain; we’ll have another shot Friday night into Saturday, too.
The snow potential index is a daily assessment of the potential for at least 1 inch of snow in the next week in the DC area, on a 0-to-10 scale.

Whisky Pete getting underbussed.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

I got to thinking: "What if it's not about the contradiction between the Hernandez pardon and the air strikes, but about the consistency between them?"

It means that if California is full of blue voters who give the Democratic candidate a huge win, you still only get the electoral votes you would’ve gotten with 51%

This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology.
Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

AI is highly useful in a few areas, but those are areas that are highly visible to Silicon Valley types, who then generalize the usefulness in ways that just don’t work.

Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

1 of the fundamental reasons the AR-15 is so common isn't that it's a particularly lethal gun (it isn't), but that it's a. cheap (thanks, military industrial complex) and b. reliable. he basically solved firearms, with klashnikov's effort a valiant 2nd place. it's basically the honda civic of rifles
I always love these "Eugene Stoner's perfect instrument of death has found its way to the hands of foreigners" stories. It's a perfect weapon and available in sporting good stores. That'll happen.

Straight up war crime
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
