Government shutdown Senate deal, Edmund Fitzgerald anniversary, Vikings recap & more: Nov. 10, 2025

Today’s episode of The Afternoon Shift with Adam Llorens and Maxx Fuller dives into the biggest headlines across Minnesota and beyond, blending live updates, local insight, and thoughtful conversation. A potential breakthrough may be on the horizon in Washington as lawmakers work to end the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history. While optimism is building around a deal, the impacts continue to ripple nationwide — from growing air traffic delays and grounded flights to missed paychecks and suspended public services. We break down what this possible agreement means for Minnesotans — from federal workers and farmers to families relying on SNAP and other support programs — and what it will take to truly get the government back on track heading into the holidays. Today marks the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the Great Lakes’ most haunting maritime disasters. We revisit the tragedy that claimed 29 lives on Lake Superior, explore the lasting impact it’s had on shipping and safety, and dive into the new documentary Gales of November, which takes a rare, modern look at the wreck, the legend, and the families who still remember. We’ll also take you to the memorial at 4 p.m. CT to honor the 29 crew members lost 50 years ago today. In sports, we recap the Vikings’ latest matchup, with quarterback J.J. McCarthy back under center after injury — and fans watching closely to see if his return can reignite Minnesota’s playoff hopes. We’ll also unpack the Major League Baseball scandal that’s shaking the league and raising tough questions about ethics, leadership, and accountability across the sport. On stage, a bold retelling of Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy — Macbeth, the “Scottish Play” — breathes new life into the timeless story of ambition, fate, and power. We explore how this modern interpretation is connecting with audiences and what makes the play’s themes feel as relevant as ever.
