An even more ridiculously warm day across most of the central and western United States, with numerous locations seeing not only calendar date record highs but in many cases all-time December monthly records. Wow. 🫠 #AZwx #NMwx #TWwx #COwx #OKwx #WYwx #KSwx #NEwx #UTwx

Consumer health care?

Good gawd.

Can we please get universal health care and stick the White House and Congress on the same plan?
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Absolute opposite world.

Increase demand bring down prices?
Opposite world.
Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “If you want low electricity prices …you want to build data centers. I know they’re controversial, but if you look at the states that have growing demand for electricity, they have flat or declining electricity prices.”

On Wednesday, widespread heavy rain & very high snow levels (7,000-9,000 feet) will cause enormous runoff into already swollen rivers. Widespread moderate to major flood is likely, with some rivers expected to experience *record* flooding (esp. Skagit & Snohomish). #WAwx [2/3]
