there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
this happened to me and i will not be improving btw
democrats are out of touch because i like steam sales
Statement from the Cuban Ministry of the Interior of the event:
"Note from the Ministry of the Interior:
On the morning of February 25, 2026, a violating speedboat was detected within Cuban territorial waters. The vessel, registered in Florida, United States..."
in order: 20%, 20%, 40%, 10%, 10%
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

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
