Biden confronts a 'pissed-off generation' of young voters who may be decisive in 2024
  • They stayed home during midterms. If people were as angry as you and I they would vote in every election. I sure do.

    "Perhaps the most notable finding with respect to voter turnout is that 2022 turnout rates were nearly as high as the record-setting 2018 midterm turnout rates. Yet unlike the previous midterm elections, the groups with the highest Democratic voting margins—in particular, young people, Black Americans, women, and white female college graduates—did not show greater turnout increases than other groups, and often displayed lower turnout rates than in the 2018 midterms." https://www.brookings.edu/articles/new-voter-turnout-data-from-2022-shows-some-surprises-including-lower-turnout-for-youth-women-and-black-americans-in-some-states/

  • Philly leaders sue ghost gun manufacturers just days after mass shooting
  • "The manufacturers attempted to avoid liability by claiming it is selling parts, not guns. But the gun kits they sell can be assembled in minutes by virtually anyone," said Mayor Jim Kenny during a news conference on Wednesday. The city has seen a 300% increase in the number of ghost guns used in crimes over the last four years. In 2019, 95 were used. In 2020, that number increased to 250. In 2021, it doubled to 571. In 2022, the number of ghost guns used in a crime surged to 575. So far in 2023, 292 have been used in crimes including the mass shooting on Monday in Kingsessing.

    Serial #'s can still be tracked back to the person that bought it, at least its a lead. Ghost guns don't even offer that.

  • [Medina] Damian Lillard will not report unless traded to the Miami Heat
  • Yesterday I was wondering if this was some kind of smokescreen - it just doesn't make sense at face value. But even then I can't figure out how this would potentially benefit Portland or the receiving team. Then today, more chatter about him sitting out, maybe its real, after all.
