The abject poverty of traditional horse race presidential coverage in the authoritarian moment:
Donald Trump’s aides believe his State of the Union address will reignite the president’s momentum—but Republicans are worried, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports:
Trump’s Suddenly High-Stakes State of the Union
The president is visiting Congress in a dramatically different place from where he was a year ago.

Pro cyclist here who grew up in abject poverty as an only child. When I started cycling seriously in my teens I needed extra calories mom couldn't afford. I used to go to the local food bank and pretend I had three siblings. They knew and never said a word. They were true saints.

Today is the International Day for Poverty Eradication. I think back on Dad's teachings regarding poverty. In Strength to Love he wrote: “God never intended for one group of people to live in superfluous inordinate wealth, while others live in abject deadening poverty.”

In re: the utterly abject poverty of our National Conversation™️ about Tone Policing The Democrats while the far right authoritarian party does its daily dose of far right authoritarianism.

I think it's weird and bad that a bunch of people who are, by any reasonable international or historical standard, preposterously wealthy have convinced themselves that actually they live in abject poverty
Yeah instead of listening to silly things like “GDP” and “unemployment” we should use the deranged bespoke measures dreamed up by places like the “Ludwig Center for Shared Economic Prosperity”
A new report finds the bottom 60% of U.S. households—or *two-thirds* of the population—can't afford a “minimal quality of life": housing, health care, and other necessities.
"Indicators like GDP and unemployment tell us the economy is thriving. But they don’t reflect the reality of most Americans."

What exactly is he trying to “preserve” ? The abject poverty that almost killed him
“Social solidarity is destroyed when you have too much migration too quickly,” JD Vance tells our columnist Ross Douthat in this episode of “Interesting Times.” “That’s not because I hate the migrants or I’m motivated by grievance. That’s because I’m trying to preserve something in my own country.”

I can’t quote this post but damn it’s such a good point. Plessy was 1896 and Wong Kim Ark was just two years later in 1898
