The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost 50 years ago today — around the time Gordon Lightfoot was at work on a new album.

It’s wild how MAGA falls in love with people like nepo baby developer Bill Pulte, who was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple, because he investigated Schiff, then he rolls out a plan for a lifetime of debt slavery with 50-year mortgages and they are somehow surprised.

Starting to think that putting a deeply partisan sycophant with no housing policy expertise in charge of US housing policy was not a great idea.

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

That bit of CSPAN footage can be a great clip for the documentary about the end of two party democracy in America and the transition to one party rule for 30 years.
Near the end of the vote to reopen the government Jeanne Shaheen and John Thune shook hands.

Today President Trump pardoned 77 people related to trying to overturn the 2020 election including all the fake electors from the 7 states and attorneys Rudy Guiliani, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro.
Despicable, disgusting, and disgraceful.
