There is an active outbreak of avian flu (H5 influenza) in dairy herds in Washington State, particularly the Yakima Valley. A number of dairy workers have been infected, with at least one death. Speaking with workers, we believe the official case numbers are a vast undercount. 1/

🧵An oil superpower just capped gas at 8 gallons per car. At 4 AM, Ukrainian drones flew 500 miles through air defenses, torched the refinery feeding Putin's hometown, and triggered a total logistics breakdown. 1/🧵

The count is now over in #NC03 & #NC05, with Dems Chuck Hubbard and Raymond Smith ahead of GOP Representatives Virginia Foxx and Greg Murphy... by 294 votes & 325 votes.
If these hold in a recount, Democrats will have won 11 of the state's 14 congressional seats.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Shelter in place ordered in Deer Park, Texas after a Level 3 incident at the Lubrizol chemical plant
The city sent the alert just before 7 PM telling residents an emergency has occurred and they need to "immediately shelter in place."
Lubrizol Deer Park is the world's largest additives plant, and officials say they don't yet know how widespread the incident is or what was released, so they're waiting on the company for answers.
Residents are being told to get indoors, close doors and windows, and shut off their AC and heat until further notice.
No injuries reported so far.

I love the fact that MTG, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace spent their entire time in Congress mocking Sarah McBride for being transgender and trying to have her banned from using any restrooms on Capitol Hill, and now Representative McBride is the only one of the four still in Congress.

HIS FARM IS GOING TO THE STATE
Jimmy Carter's 2,400 acre peanut farm is being sold, and then, after the sale, it will be donated to the state of Georgia... And used as a nature retreat where the public can camp and hunt on the grounds.
Who loves this?

Christ loves us as we are, but His love is too great to leave us prisoners of sin, of what destroys us. The fire He came to bring has the power to break our chains and restore our freedom to love. There are wounds to be healed, failings to be acknowledged, and, whenever possible, wrongs to be made right. Allow Christ to transform you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Hundreds of thousands of oval holes cover the American east coast and they nearly all point the same way.
The Carolina Bays run from New Jersey down into Florida, shallow depressions in the ground, some of them half a mile across.
Estimates of how many there are run as high as 500,000.
Most are aligned on roughly the same axis, which is the part that has kept people arguing since the 1930s.
Lidar surveys made the pattern obvious once the trees were stripped out of the picture.
Geologists still do not agree on what made them.

With provisionals now counted in North Carolina, it looks like Democrats will flip the seats of both GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx NC-5 and GOP Rep. Greg Murphy NC-3.
That would put Democrats on course to win 260 seats in the House, a net gain of 45 seats.

WOW: On the first day of bill filing for the new TX Legislature, Democrats introduced bills to expand Medicaid, raise the minimum wage, end data center tax breaks, ban Flock cameras, legalize marijuana, and repeal ICE partnerships for sheriffs.
Taking Texas by the horns.

Major Court decision: Kari Lake illegally fired the director of Voice of America, who can now return to his job

I’ve heard from several members they agree with some of the Articles of Impeachment but not all of them.
If the motion to kill my resolution by referring it to committee fails, and we proceed to the Articles themselves, I’ll request a vote on each of the Articles separately.

Wasn't expecting an Alaska update yesterday, but the state tells me this included precinct votes from Chevak, some Anchorage absentees, and updated results from hand-count precincts. The big 7-day early/mail/provisional drop will come tonight.

Hegseth notes that everything he did was "ordered by the commander in chief"
(he was just following orders, you see)

HEGSETH impeachment update. I am told:
- House will take a key procedural vote at 5:30p. Our reporting is - unless something dramatic happens - that will break in favor of impeachment.
- Then the House will leave for the day.
- Impeachment vote would be tomorrow.

One of the strongest storms in the Northeast Pacific in about 3-5 years is likely to generate a very significant WNW wave swell with significant wave heights of 35-45 feet, with maximum individual wave heights maxing out at 70-90 feet this weekend. This, combined with simi high tides, will lead to coastal flooding and beach erosion.
MLLW Times are in PST
High Tides At Trinidad Harbor:
Friday, November 13: 6.42ft at 12:52 pm
Saturday, November 14: 6.04ft at 1:33 pm
Sunday, November 15: 5.61ft at 2:23 pm
------------------------------------------------
High Tides At Monterey Bay Harbor:
Friday, November 13: 5.21ft at 11:34 am
Saturday, November 14: 4.90ft at 12:18 pm
Sunday, November 15: 4.54ft at 1:12 pm
Keep in mind these are the tidal predictions, as sea levels are now running up to 15-24 inches above normal tide levels.
