BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.”
It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.

He’s the president’s biggest donor, he gets a west wing office, he gets to oust the administrator of the federal aviation administration, he gets to send emails to the entire federal workforce trying to scam them out of their pensions, and he’s a nazi.

The US share of single moms (19%) is actually pretty similar to many other advanced economy nations.
What is different? = US child poverty (20%) is way higher than other nations.

Medicaid expansion and variability in mortality in the USA: a national, observational cohort study
After 4 years of implementation, Medicaid expansion remains associated with significant reductions in all-cause mortality, but reductions are variable by state characteristics. These results could inform policy makers to provide broad-based equitable improvements in health outcomes.

2024 is almost history and the global temperature forecast for the remaining few days is rock solid now. Time to wrap up.
In most datasets, 2024 will be 0.1 degree C warmer than 2023. Also, 2024 will be the 1st individual year above the 1.5 degree Paris warming threshold in all datasets.
