Just want to thank all the international World Cup fans for coming and lifting all of us Americans up with your absolutely charming encounters with our big weird country. We needed it. Best 250th birthday gift ever.

NEWS: DCA is currently on a ground stop and has been temporarily closed “for an event.”
Planes set to land at DC’s airport have alerted their passengers.
This comes after we at @MeidasTouch reported pilots are filing safety reports due to the lights from Trump’s UFC octagon.

It’s been a terrific week of Europeans experiencing and opining on all the great things in America. I’ve been talking up hot American breakfast and black coffee for a while. But this gentleman absolutely nails why we’re doing temperature right

⛈️ Heads up: Strong to severe storms are possible Sunday afternoon and evening. Damaging wind gusts over 57 mph are the primary threat — a tornado or large hail can't be ruled out.
See CapitalWeather.com for latest thoughts on timing and intensity which could change slightly as we continue to evaluate information into early tomorrow.
Hot and soupy backdrop Sunday: Highs near 90 to mid-90s, feeling as hot as 100° before storms arrive.
📅 Cooler and less humid to start the workweek.

As the only Meteorologist elected to Congress, I am compelled to advise everyone to stay home.

"Iran is targeting 'all interests related to economic holdings managed by Elon Musk in West Asia,' including a regional Starlink ground station" - Starlink is being used by combatants in an active conflict so it is a lawful target but still the rules of IHL apply here 1/

I don't disagree with anything in this but it is crazy how this is NOT the message that is coming out of the WH, which is apparently determined to steamroll over all the US' existing cooperative agreements
