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.

A real simple solution to this mess in the Senate right now is for Schumer to man up and remove all eight of the traitors from their committees and leadership positions. Will he? Fuck no but he should.

Honestly, at this point, I think Trump is a wind-up dementia patient and every time he's on camera, they've got him on enough Adderall to make a sloth chase down a cheetah.

Shot in the dark: Wally’s favorite toy got disemboweled by a dog friend while I was out of town, and they don’t seem to make this anymore. Does anybody have a Zippy Paws corgi that their dog doesn’t care about that you’d be willing to rehome?

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

This was not a surprise to anyone who followed me and other actual reporters who know Supreme Court procedure.

The only places it succeeded were to generate donations for Liberty Counsel and to prompt clicks through ragebait headlines from your favorite resistance grifters.

Sorry, it's true.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

If you have a Democratic Senator who isn't a member of the Vichy Caucus, call them today, thank them for standing up, and then demand they work to change Senate Dem leadership.

If you're a fed who lives in Virginia @kaine.senate.gov keeps pointing tot he RIF reversals etc as the thing that got him to go along.
You're still furloughed and his offices are all local. He should be facing a wave of pissed off feds today at his offices telling him "stop doing us favors Tim!"

some remarks on the shutdown fight, courtesy of philips o'brien: "A battle is more a snapshot in time--a moment when two armed forces reveal their current strengths and weaknesses. What to take from a battle... is what it reveals about the direction of travel of the armed forces involved."

A whole lot of you never learned how congress works or how the senate passes bills. This was a cloture vote now the bill has to be passed by the senate AND it has to go back to the house to either be pass (not likely) or amended and sent back to the senate to be voted on again.

This 👇. You think what is happening is horrible? Talk to the people in the yellow and red here 👇 and the ones in blue that talked so much sh*t on VP Harris that people were in red and yellow. Then stop complaining and focus on getting MORE Dems in Congress, not primarying ones that win elections.

This is predatory capitalism. They gave tax breaks to billionaires so that folks could get bills like this for healthcare.
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

2256.42%????

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

The other important thing here is that the timing of all this is that if they pass the first hurdle tonight, they won't pass the second 60-vote hurdle until Thursday, and I imagine the howling from the base will be insane.
