Bad at video games, but I play too many of them anyway (I do not play league! the banner is a lie!) occasionally work on stuff on riggsmarkham.com

The modern filibuster rule was put in place in 1975. Since then, Democrats have had a filibuster proof majority in the following periods:
1975-1979
7 months in 2009
That's it.
That poll doesn't seem very reliable. There is absolutely no way the shift among young voters was *that* inconsistent. Probably a tiny sample.
Did young voters shift somewhat towards Trump? Probably. Was there a 31-point difference between the shifts in Michigan and Georgia? Literally unbelievable.

Well, thatβs absurdly wrong.
As always, most of the US federal budget goes to social security and healthcare (Medicare/Medicaid).
Aid to Israel, at it highest, is about 0.3% of the federal budget.

Most people in poverty are non-workers. You cannot help them through higher wages. You can help them via welfare.
Ok, but we definitely shouldnβt do that trade. Welfare isnβt a regrettable necessity that only exists because of low wages; itβs a necessary redistribution to non-workers at all wage levels.
