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.

Crockett: Why don't you at least try to look like you're serious about your job and look like you are doing the work of the people and not look like a petulant child and swear her in.

In His Own District, John James Still Won’t Debate - Michigan Democratic Party LANSING β€”Β Tonight, as Michigan Republicans gather in Roseville for the second GOP gubernatorial primary debate, John James is once again not showing upβ€”even as the debate takes place in his own…

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

More miserable lies won’t change the facts: federal law ALREADY prohibits any undocumented immigrant from receiving Medicaid, Medicare, or coverage under the ACA.

Random fact of the dayβ€” first glass aquarium was created in 1832 by Jeanne Villepreux-Power. I really thought since Romans had such mastery of glass that it was an ancient invention.

Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This man bravely spoke on the floor of North Carolina Congress. Then the GOP struck it from the record.

Watch it to see why.

Maybe I've missed something, but I haven't heard of a single act of violence or property destruction in conjunction with No Kings. ANTIFA's terrorism committee needs to get its shit together or whatever.

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?
