  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n**⅔:** The share of Italians who _reportedly_ watched the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, which ended yesterday. More Italians consumed these Winter Games than the previous three combined. Audience numbers also jumped outside the host nation, with broadcasters in Europe, the _UK_, the _US_, and even Brazil reporting huge growth. The ice hockey _rivalry_ between two “ _friendly_” neighbors didn’t hurt, either.\n\n****\n\n* * *\n\n**40 million:** The number of people who remain under a _blizzard warning_, as of Monday morning, as a snowstorm buffets the US’s northeast and mid-Atlantic. The storm has halted transit, with more than 5,000 flights _canceled_, and has left hundreds of thousands without power, as parts of the northeast saw over a foot of snow within a 12-hour period on Sunday.\n\n**13.6:** The percentage-point _reduction_ in the average US tariff rate on Brazil over the weekend. This comes after US President **Donald Trump** introduced a 15% global tariff on Saturday – up from his initial 10% figure – following the Supreme Court’s decision to _strike down_ his country-specific duties that were imposed last year. Some countries, like Brazil, China, and India, have benefitted from this, whereas others, such as the EU, the UK, and Japan, now face higher duties. Uncertainty remains over whether trade deals _clinched_ last year will hold.\n\n**692:** The rough _distance in miles_ that 21-year-old **Austin Tucker Martin** drove from Cameron, North Carolina, to the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, from Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. Police said he was armed with a shotgun and a fuel cannister as he tried to enter Trump’s club around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, before Secret Service fatally shot him. The US president was in Washington, D.C., at the time.",
