In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says. New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.

Also I want to expand on this.
Dems are out of power right now. We are learning while we have less leverage who will actually have the fight to take it to the GOP in 26 when we w tally have power.

Need to stop hating ourselves, build momentum to records in 2026, this brings light to major major issues the GOP have now plagued US citizens. The fight is on, but united we stand, divided we fall. Process give take, but no miracles in this round. Many rounds to go until 2026, November. Rise up.

So quick review:

Some Dems fuming about this deal.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.
Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.
