Starting tonight at 1 AM, we’ll be sharing the real radio transmissions from the night the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost on Lake Superior, 50 years ago. These posts will follow the timeline as it happened, from the first reports of rough seas to the ship’s final transmission. We share them in remembrance of the 29 men who were lost, and in respect for all who work the Great Lakes. Transmissions from: ssedmundfitzgerald.org/fitz-…

I love the fact that MTG, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace spent their entire time in Congress mocking Sarah McBride for being transgender and trying to have her banned from using any restrooms on Capitol Hill, and now Representative McBride is the only one of the four still in Congress.

Never forget: Alex Pretti made a choice to be righteous, kind, and brave, only to be assassinated in cold blood by Trump's ICE Nazis. Stephen Miller cheered it on, calling Pretti a "terrorist" and "would be assassin." Nuremberg is coming.

I’ll be posting this every single day: SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE: Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill was designed to leave Americans feeling the pain long after Republicans passed it. When the worst cuts hit, don’t suddenly blame Democrats. REPUBLICANS WROTE IT. REPUBLICANS PASSED IT. REPUBLICANS OWN IT. Don’t let them rewrite history.

This is Allie Phillips. She was denied an abortion to end a nonviable pregnancy due to Tennessee’s abortion ban. Last week, she defeated an anti-choice Republican in the state legislature. RETWEET if you are proud to stand with Rep-elect Phillips!

Happy Sunday all! I’m still trying to get board games for my students so that each student has a gift for Christmas. Many of them have so little. I would be so grateful for help! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2F…

Today would’ve been Alex Pretti’s 38th birthday. He worked as an ICU nurse before being murdered by ICE. May his memory be a blessing.

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere. This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk. An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint. And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage. Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access. Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross? You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger. This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

Trump last week: Thinks voters are too stupid to tell two Dan Sullivans apart. Trump today: Too stupid to tell two Dana Whites apart.

So here's what happened in today's Stupid Olympics. There are two people named Dana White. One is President and CEO of the UFC The other is Dana W. White, who served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary James Mattis Their pictures are below. He's the white guy. She's the Black woman. I'll call them UFC Dana and DOD Dana to make it easier for you. Suzie Wiles, shortly before being replaced by Count Stephen Miller, advised Trump that his new Press Secretary should be Dana White. And Trump in all his finite wisdom, immediately assumed the UFC Dana, who has never done anything to prepare him for press secretary, and not DOD Dana, whose entire career has been in preparation for that. Now you might be saying, "Kelly, not everyone knows about DOD Dana. It's an honest mistake." But he's NOT just "everyone." He's the President of the United States. And this is a man whose administration has been firing Black people, women, trans people, and so on, insisting that none of them got their job based on merit. And then he's going to name someone completely unqualified to be Press Secretary because the President is a fan of the UFC. And he didn't even think to ask anyone. It never even occurred to him to ponder whether UFC Dana is the person he should pick as Press Secretary. Stupid and incurious are a dangerous combination, and this man is both of those things. And that got me to thinking about the two Dan Sullivan in Alaska. And I get it now. The man who is too stupid to know the difference between two Dana Whites thinks Alaskans are too stupid to know the difference between two Dan Sullivans.
