the next DNC should be held in Minneapolis

This book absolutely rules. Feels like I'm taking a college course on Congress when I'm reading it.

what planet is this person from that he thinks this story is flattering for Alito. this makes him look like a complete jerk on a very personal level. incredible loser stuff

andrew johnson is for sure worse

HmmAI adds "Wow" response, is acquired by Elon Musk for $900b

I know what the last census data says man, that's what I've been looking at this whole time.

Yes, you said 40%. That was wrong. It's 26.1%.

Correction, Census data from 2024. Ten years more updated than the data in that link.

That data is over ten years old. The sentence right before the one you link says "2008 to 2014 (the latest available data)".

I am looking at Census data from last year. It's 33.6%.

I don't know what you mean by supporting the same conclusion. We're not drawing any conclusions at all. You are getting basic numbers about poverty wrong.

That number is 33.6%.

Ross Douthat, quietly to himself: "I am like the Spartacus of elite pedophiles..."

That is why your method is bad. A household of 1 person making 65k is doing *great*. The poverty line changes by household size. Asking AI what % of households make <65k tells you nothing about how many are in poverty.

No. I am looking at neither of those. The % of all people living in a household whose income is <200% of the poverty line is 26.1%. That's the answer. 65k is a useless heuristic to apply broadly across family sizes. A big household making 65k will be poorer than a small household making 65k.

What the fuck man

No, it's important to incorporate household size when calculating who is in poverty. Point being, you can't decide a certain income level is poverty and broadly apply that to different household sizes.

The percentage of Americans below 200% poverty line is 26%. That's the answer. Far less than 40!

I think the NYT needs to hire someone whose entire job is asking "Who gives a shit" when someone pitches a dumbass story like this

not even going to engage with the "puerto ricans are americans" conversation, but why are they even asking the players about this. the halftime show isn't even for them. don't they need to like, eat some orange slices and change their socks or something. i bet a ton of them spend that time pooping.

in other words, the choice isn't between 2 weeks and 0 weeks

There should be no doubt that JB Pritzker is The Guy for 2028. No doubt whatsoever. Blows Newsom out of the water, and nobody else comes close. America's #1 class traitor will destroy all the secret creepy billionaires funding JD Vance and the other pedophiles

I haven't been this excited to read something since Constitution of Conflict. Which wasn't that long ago, but before that, it's a long time.

His job is to adjudicate the petitioner's claim. The petitioner asked to get a writ of habeas corpus or be released. He got released, so the claim is resolved. Understanding this does not mean absolving ICE of consequences. This was never going to be the venue for serious agency-wide consequences

Basically the new John Waters heuristic is to not sleep with anyone who boastfully uses ChatGPT

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

It takes a special kind of loser to refer to flying to Minneapolis and staying at a hotel to do pepper spray drive-bys as being "in-theater." Pissbabies to the bone. I cannot imagine a more babyish caricature of the great big gap between their picture of themselves as menly men and the reality.

YouTube video by NBC10 Philadelphia Philly DA vows to prosecute ‘wannabe Nazi' ICE agents who violate the law

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."

The system is not working as it should. That does not mean it is not doing anything at all.
