I've been saying for weeks that Trump would have to be fucking stupid to dick around with a criminal case on which Norm Eisen is a defense attorney. And yet, Trump just dicked around on a criminal case, that of Davey Hearn, on which Norm Eisen is a defense attorney.

Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming
Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.
