Located between Canada and the United States is one of the largest bodies of freshwater in the world, Lake Superior.
Lake Superior is the largest and deepest of the Great Lakes, and it is the first of the lakes in terms of water flow.

Learn more about Lake Superior, the big lake they call Gitche Gumee, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Two days after getting trounced in the debate, Trump turns to a familiar playbook: claim a win, trash the moderators, and—above all—refuse to debate again. The only hitch? All those Trump advisors and endorsers talking to the press about how poorly he did. Jon and Dan discuss Trump's attempt at spin, Harris's post-debate agenda, and the MAGA freakout over Taylor Swift's endorsement.

New memoirs by former National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster and recovery advocate William Cope Moyers document conflicts of different kinds. In At War with Ourselves, McMaster contends with his years in the Trump administration and the political infighting he experienced at the White House. Moyers' Broken Open documents a more personal struggle with maintaining his sobriety 35 years into his recovery journey. In today's episode, McMaster talks with NPR's Steve Inskeep about the three types of people he encountered at the White House–and what U.S. foreign policy would look like under a second Trump presidency. Later, Moyers speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about what happens when sobriety is jeopardized.

As soon as money was invented, counterfeiting was invented soon after.
Counterfeiting has been around for as long as money, and as money has changed, counterfeiters have changed with it.
What used to be a relatively simple process has become a highly technical game of cat and mouse. Today, it is considered a crime in every country on Earth, but of course that depends on what currency you are trying to counterfeit.
Learn more about counterfeiting and the perpetual game of trying to stop counterfeiting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
