Things are just slowly starting to get back on track here. Much worse in cities like New York and Boston. Today alone at New York airports, thousands of flights were canceled.

London police have arrested former UK Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson. They didn't name him in their announcement, but said they'd arrested a 72 year old man for misconduct in public office and it appears to be related to documents containing sensitive government information Mandelson is accused of passing on to Epstein roughly 15 years ago. A similar reason was given for the arrest of former Prince Andrew last week. The UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, fired Mandelson from his post as ambassador last year after emails showed he'd been in touch with Epstein well beyond 2008 after Epstein pled guilty to a state prostitution charge in Florida.
