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.

🚨This 16 year old was living a normal life until this administration took over the country. ICE is the enemy of humanity, decency, integrity, and all that used to represent this country. Meanwhile, Trump is building a private army, one that will be more ruthless and violent. 1/2

younger generations have always dreamed to be in debt until the day they die
One CEO called the idea a “disgusting insult” and “economic genocide against the Gen Z generation.” 👀

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.
Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.
Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.
Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Chuck Schumer does a better job keeping members of his Senate caucus from publicly calling for him to step down or retire than he does keeping them from helping Republicans.

Convicted seditionist Stewart Rhodes offers to relaunch the Oath Keepers to serve as Trump’s personal fascist army.
"President Donald Trump should form his own private militia, answerable only to him."
Authoritarianism in camo and paranoia. That’s not protecting freedom; that’s dictatorship.
