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.

If they’re going to roll over like this after an electoral blowout less than a week ago, why bother electing Democrats to Congress next year? What would they actually do?
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:
—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan

We’ve been trying for 10 months to remove Judge Cannon’s gag order blocking the full release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s mishandling of classified documents.
This week, a federal appeals court gave Cannon 60 days to rule.

This is sort of perfect distillation of a certain perspective: The Free Press is deeply worried about an election ushering in someone who would put individual rights at risks, to the point people have to hide their identity, while also profiting massively from a President doing exactly that.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

If Dems win 63+ HoD seats, it would be consistent w/ a lot of strong overperformances we've seen for Dems in downballot races so far in '25 and indicate that Dems should be considered favorites for House control in '26.

one last observation: donald trump has never won a majority of the vote and yet the political press treats him like the embodied spirit of the american people. will be interesting to see how they discount mamdani as representing new york if he wins less than a majority.

Corollary to this is the self-indulgent “it’s my vote to do w as I wish.”
It isn’t. It’s a civic trust to do what is best for your country and fellow citizens.
First past the post, plurality wins, single seat districts have A LOT wrong w them. Force you to pick the lesser evil.
Which: do that.

Context:
This isn't just a (rather large) math error.
A 2-1 majority opinion cited the bogus stat of the FPS deployment (in June) to justify Trump's troop activation in late September.
Turns out, even Trump's DOJ now admits the stat doesn't wash.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.
The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.
No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.
