TAKEOFF.

Winter Storms Sweeping Across U.S..

A new series of powerful winter storms is expected to bring significant snow, ice, and rain from the Plains and Midwest to the Great Lakes and Northeast starting today.

The first of three forecasted storms swept across the U.S. Tuesday, placing over 80 million people under winter weather alerts as snow and rain fell from coast to coast. Another storm has formed over the Plains and is projected to follow a similar path.

The second storm is on track to impact over 20 states from the Central Plains to the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast into Thursday.

A third storm has been identified in the Pacific, with officials anticipating it will make landfall later this week and eventually become a significant winter storm over the Plains, Midwest, and Northeast this weekend.

DOJ Drops Charges Against NYC Mayor.

The Justice Department has dropped corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, citing concerns that the case interfered with his reelection campaign and his role in addressing illegal immigration and violent crime.

The directive, issued by Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, does not assess the strength of the evidence but suspends further investigative steps until after the 2025 mayoral election.

Adams, who was accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions and luxury perks from foreign nationals, denied any wrongdoing and vowed to regain public trust.

President Trump hinted at a pardon in December, saying the mayor had been “treated pretty unfairly” and that Adams was targeted for criticizing former President Biden’s immigration policies.

Danish Petition Seeks to Buy California.

A satirical Danish petition to “buy California” from the U.S. has gained nearly 200,000 signatures, responding to President Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring Greenland.

The campaign, titled Denmarkification, proposes raising $1 trillion to purchase the state, promising to introduce Danish values, rename Disneyland to “Hans Christian Andersenland,” and bring “hygge to Hollywood.”

Under the tongue-in-cheek plan, California would be renamed “New Denmark,” and Los Angeles would become “Løs Ångeles.” The campaign also suggests changing California’s flag by replacing the bear with a mermaid.

To sweeten the deal, Denmark has offered Trump a lifetime supply of Danish pastries, which “Hollywood would pay for.”

POLITICS.

The U.S. has negotiated the release of schoolteacher and former diplomat Marc Fogel from Russia after his imprisonment for a medical cannabis infraction, reuniting him with his family Tuesday night.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II agreed to accept 2,000 sick Palestinian children Tuesday following a White House meeting with President Trump, who reaffirmed that the U.S. should control the Gaza Strip.

The Department of Homeland Security fired four FEMA employees for bypassing leadership and unilaterally allocating $59 million to New York City for sheltering illegal migrants in hotels and other facilities.

Steve Bannon pleaded guilty Tuesday to defrauding donors in a private effort to build a border wall, avoiding jail as part of a plea deal.
