Gen X gave Trump his highest margins.
Boomers gave him most raw votes, but of course mitigated that by giving close to the same number of votes to Harris.
We can start solving shit by not wasting more time on generational warfare. Bottom line is white males across a generational spectrum did bad.

My mother gets a cold- it turns into bronchitis. She gets Covid or flu- she could get pneumonia.

According to legend, JFK asked a NASA janitor what his job was, and the janitor proudly proclaimed “I’m helping to send a man to the moon.”

Judge Young: "This case ... squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally 'yes, they do.' 'No law' means 'no law.'"

Though I don't know who needs to know this, I learned one minute ago that Rachel Carson's Maine cottage is available to rent by the week June-Sept.
Listened to Jill Lepore's beautiful essay about Carson in "The Deadline," & rooted around a bit to find this:

Influenza, tornano mascherine, guanti e tute sulle ambulanze. La Regione Liguria dirama una nota alle Asl
La prima a partire è stata Asl2 che ha chiesto alle pubbliche assistenze di ripristinare i kit di protezione. I tecnici: “Nessuna emergenza Covid, ma la stagione influenzale sarà impegnativa”

Almost nobody my age or younger has a real shot at owning a home.
We need to ban hedge funds and private equity from buying homes, restore federal support for building housing, and expand VA-style home loans so working people can actually afford to own where they live.

The next time anyone from DOJ so references their agency they need to be immediately corrected. It's now DOR, the U.S. Department of Revenge, which pairs nicely with the new Department of War.
