MIAMI — Tropical Storm Fausto formed Sunday well off Mexico’s southwest Pacific coast, while a tropical depression meandering in warm Gulf of Mexico waters south of the Florida Panhandle was threatening to strengthen into a named storm.

Fausto emerged from a tropical depression about 750 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and was expected to undergo steady or rapid strengthening and become a hurricane by Monday night, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was moving to the west-northwest at 13 mph. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect.

At least nine people were critically injured early Sunday when a gunman opened fire in a busy entertainment district in Tucson, Arizona, before police officers shot him and stopped the threat, authorities said.

The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. local time in downtown Tucson, as the streets were teeming with people out for a night on the town, Officer Frank Magos, a spokesperson for the Tucson Police Department, said at a news conference Sunday.

The White House announced on Thursday that it has launched “an unprecedented global offensive against the transnational threat of Radical Left terrorism,” under which “far-left extremism will be treated with the same seriousness and ferocity the world has long reserved for jihadist terrorism.”

Journalist Ken Klippenstein reports that according to leaked documents from Marco Rubio’s State Department, groups to be targeted under the new marching orders will include “violent far-left and anarchist networks and other violent extremist actors,” as well as “violent pro-Iranian and antisemitic networks” and “militant anti-tech and eco-terrorist movements.”

This line strongly echoes the language of a 1967 FBI memo describing the goals of the J Edgar Hoover program COINTELPRO to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize the activities of black nationalist hate-type organizations and groupings.”

The facility uses liquid salt to store excess energy captured during the day, which is later released as steam, which turns turbines to generate electricity.

In this way, grid managers in Xinjiang "flatten the duck": the mismatch between solar power production and electricity demand, which occurs at different times of the day.

China's vast network of high-voltage transmission lines are crucial, by delivering power generated in far-flung areas to population centers in China's East.
