On the anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I always think of T. D. Mischke's '90s radio interview with a historian, who Mischke surprises by *singing every question* to the Lightfoot tune. The historian gamely gives straight answers! (at 8:00) www.mischkemadness.com/audiofiles/t...
For many years I assumed that the Edmund Fitzgerald song was about a shipwreck in like, 1843. But Gordo wrote it the month after it happened! News you can use.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.
Tomorrow, we win it together.

Federal worker: My district went for Trump both in 2016 and 2024, and a lot of my friends supported him. But they didn't vote for the parks to close, health care costs to skyrocket, veterans to lose care, and for tens of thousands of federal employees to be at risk of losing their jobs.
