If there is nothing truly damaging to President Donald Trump in the Jeffrey Epstein files, he and his administration did a great job of making it look like there could be. How else to explain their promises of full transparency, their sudden and inexplicable U-turn, and then their (ultimately unsuccessful) efforts to fight Congress' push to get the files? It seems the administration didn't learn its lesson from that episode. Because it looks like history could be repeating with the boat strikes video. Read more

From Yale Climate Connections: According to a new study, one of the first estimates of sea level rise made by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change closely matches what actually happened over the past 30 years. Torbjrn Trnqvist of Tulane University: "What we found was that they did remarkably well." In the 90s, the IPCC released a report with different scenarios for carbon emissions and what each would mean for global sea-level rise. Trnqvist's study found that real-world emissions have closely tracked one of the report's middle-of-the-road scenarios; global sea levels have risen about 9 cm " very close to the 8 cm the UN report predicted. Those early predictions were made without today's advanced computer models, and they over- or underestimated the impacts of some drivers of sea-level rise. Read more

President Trump tore into the Ellison family over a "60 Minutes" interview Lesley Stahl conducted with his new critic Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Said Trump: "My real problem with the show, however, wasn't the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air."

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- A Brazilian woman with family ties to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will be released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody while she fights potential deportation, an immigration judge ruled Monday. Bruna Ferreira, 33, a longtime Massachusetts resident, was previously engaged to Leavitt's brother, Michael. She was driving to pick up their 11-year-old son in New Hampshire when she was arrested by ICE agents in Revere, Massachusetts, on Nov. 12. Ferreira later was moved to a detention facility in Louisiana, where an immigration judge ordered that she be released on $1,500 bond, her attorney Todd Pomerleau said. "We argued that she wasn't a danger or a flight risk," he said in a text message. "The government stipulated to our argument and never once argued that she was criminal illegal alien and waived appeal."
