Enchiladas. Easy to assemble and then folks can add sauce (easy cans available) and bake at their leisure. Good veggie and not (and easy to do prep for both concurrently)

I engage in a similar exercise but via the number of complaints my parents give me about the “newfangled” clues.

Thanks for promoting it!

Since 2023, the share of Americans who say trade between the U.S. and Canada benefits Canada more than the U.S. has gone up 8 pts -- almost entirely due to shifting Rep attitudes

- In 2023, 20% of Reps said Canada benefited more than the U.S. from their trade relationship
- Today, 46% say this

Before April 2, Americans were more likely to say tariffs on China would be bad for the country and for them personally

When it comes to the personal impact of these tariffs on China, Reps are more likely to say the impact will be bad (30%) than good (17%), though they are more positive than Dems

Around 1-in-5 Americans think Trump is extremely or very likely to pursue taking over Greenland or Gaza -- and majorities oppose both.

More Republicans support (41%) than oppose (28%) taking over Greenland. But, in the case of Gaza, more Republicans oppose (44%) than support (27%) the idea.

A 43% plurality of Americans say Trump is favoring Russia too much
- Among Ds, 72% say he's favoring Russia too much; 16% of Rs agree

Views are more divided re: Israelis/Palestinians: 31% say favoring Israelis too much, 31% striking the right balance

More Americans disapprove than approve of the U.S.:
- Leaving the WHO
- Leaving the Paris Climate Agreement
- Ending most USAID programs

There are wide partisan gaps on each, though, with 58%-64% of Republicans supporting each, compared with single digit support among Democrats

Americans Give Early Trump Foreign Policy Actions Mixed or Negative Reviews More disapprove than approve of leaving the WHO and ending USAID. About half see tariffs on China as bad for the U.S. and them personally, but views differ by party.

(5/5) In a March 2023 survey, only a third of Americans said U.S. foreign aid mostly benefits developing countries, while slightly more (37%) said such aid both benefits and harms these countries, and 8% said it mostly harms developing countries. A fairly large share (17%) said they weren’t sure.

(4/5) Pew Research Center surveys on federal spending have long found split opinions on “economic assistance to needy people around the world.” In 2019, 35% of U.S. adults wanted to increase spending on such aid, 33% wanted to keep it the same, and 28% wanted to decrease it.

(3/5) In fiscal 2023, U.S. aid dollars supported programs in 177 countries, with Ukraine as the biggest recipient.

But 14.7% of all aid spending is on HIV/AIDS, 2% goes to combatting pandemic influenza and other public health threats, and 21.7% goes to disaster relief and other humanitarian aid.

(2/5) In fiscal year 2023, the U.S. government disbursed $71.9 billion in foreign aid. That's about 1.2% of that year's total federal outlays.

Since fiscal 2001, foreign aid has ranged between .7% and 1.4% of total federal outlays.

What the data says about U.S. foreign aid The $71.9 billion in foreign aid that the government spent in fiscal year 2023 works out to 1.2% of that year’s total federal spending.

Here's an extremely timely new piece from @pewresearch.org on foreign aid, answering questions like how much the federal government spends on foreign aid, what it's used for, who receives it, and how Americans feel about it: pewrsr.ch/4hilaox

Some facts in a thread below (1/5)

4 facts about Americans’ views of the World Health Organization Nearly six-in-ten Americans (58%) say the U.S. benefits from its membership in the World Health Organization.

Before Trump pulled out of the WHO, a majority of Americans said the U.S. benefitted from membership in the org. 79% of Dems and 38% of Reps see benefits to membership; this 41 pt gap is larger than partisan divides over the benefits of membership in the UN (36 pts) or NATO (30) pewrsr.ch/4huvfit

New from @pewresearch.org: a look at global religious nationalism. As part of this, we asked about the influence certain sacred texts (Bible, Quran, etc. depending on country) should--and currently do--have on the country's laws. The U.S. stands out from other high-income countries shorturl.at/YQNot

A growing share of workers say they’re now required to work from their office a certain number of days per week or month. Among those who aren’t currently working from home all the time, 75% say their employer has put these in-person work requirements in place, up from 63% in early 2023.

Women, workers under 50, workers who currently work from home all the time and those who are more dissatisfied with their jobs are particularly likely to say they'd leave their job if they could no longer work from home
