The polar vortex spins in a counter-clockwise direction, creating the path of cold air that traveled south, then east, and finally north again. It became “pretty breezy” as the freezing air shifted east, said Caleb Grunzke, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s office in Chanhassen, Minn. As the cold air traveled down the central part of the country, its path was deflected by the Rocky Mountains.

The White House is still pushing a more expansive child tax credit that was not included in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Health Care Proposed $563 billion Passed $412 billionOn health care, there were some victories for the president — and much trimming.
