Le Monde: Growth: Europe continues to lag behind the US
In 2024, the US economy grew by 2.8%, significantly outpacing the Eurozone's growth of 0.7% and the EU's 0.8%. The US maintained a low unemployment rate of 4.1% and managed to curb inflation to 2.9%, a notable achievement in contrast to the Eurozone's 6.3% unemployment.
The Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates at 4.2% follows a previous cut, reflecting confidence in the US economy's resilience. This "soft landing" is seen as a rare success, reminiscent of the mid-1990s, as the US navigates economic challenges without triggering a recession.

Breitbart: California to See Significant Rainfall from 'Atmospheric River'
Northern California is preparing for heavy rainfall and snow due to an incoming “atmospheric river,” or “Pineapple Express.” Starting Friday, some areas may receive over 6 inches of rain, with significant snowfall expected in the Sierra Nevada and Cascades.
Meteorologists note that while Northern California will see limited snow, the northern regions are likely to experience more substantial snowfall. Atmospheric rivers transport large amounts of water vapor from the tropics, impacting weather patterns significantly.
