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.

USDA climate hubs to be gutted, leaving farmers more exposed to extreme weather. Why, because Senators thought far-right House members know better what farmers need.

The focus going forward is to keep the focus on splitting the Rs on the healthcare votes to come. Keep the focus on them. Do not waste this moment in infighting among Ds.
Keep your focus on the Rs. They are still very much on the hook on healthcare—much more so than in September. If they let the ACA supports die, they’ll hand both chambers to the Ds next November. Which is why they’ll split and enough will vote for extensions.

Hey BSKY, take a breath. Aim your anger where it belongs. Dems have elevated the healthcare cost crisis way above where it was in September. GOP is still in political jeopardy over healthcare costs. They will either cave when those votes come or find themselves on the street next November.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and a few of their friends could easily come up $8 billion to cover SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans. It’d be a good deed — even as a loan.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

The cops are off the environmental beat, and Americans will breathe and drink more pollution.
Instead of enforcing clean air and water standards, Trump’s EPA is making the staff it hasn’t fired or furloughed work on repealing and weakening those standards. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

How Trump officials have transformed the EPA to weaken enforcement
An analysis of environmental enforcement cases, together with targeted furloughs during the federal shutdown, shows the EPA’s shift towards deregulation.

If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.
