Morgen feiern die USA 250 Jahre Unabhängigkeitserklärung. Am 4. Juli 1776 verabschiedete der Zweite Kontinentalkongress die maßgeblich von Thomas Jefferson formulierte Unabhängigkeitserklärung, die im Kern eine umfassende Anklage des britischen Königs enthielt.

This tweet from Bukele is fascinating, because the graph he posted shows that the murder rate in El Salvador plummeted sharply before he became president, and long before he started throwing tons of people in jail.

@pupsnase777 @lady_bossa @georg_renner Überzeugende Analyse!

In a stable preindustrial climate, we would expect to see something like the current heat wave engulfing France once every seven thousand years. Seven thousand years ago, the first pyramid was still two thousand years away.

@pupsnase777 @lady_bossa @georg_renner Sie ist niedriger, da haben Sie sicher Recht. Aber "Bruchteil" ist nicht zutreffend, gerade die Gesamtsteuerbelastung kann in US-Staaten durch die im Vergleich sehr hohen property und sales taxes für durchschnittliche Eigenheimbesitzer annähernd europäisches Niveau erreichen

@pupsnase777 @lady_bossa @georg_renner Texas hat - wie jeder US-Bundesstaat - signifikant höhere Grundsteuern (property taxes) als Österreich.

Argentina v Austria is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both flags are horizontal tribands with the same colour repeated above and below the central white belt.

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.

Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England

[Henry Olsen @henryolsenEPPC]

This is not true.

VT - one CD
RI - 2; cannot draw a GOP CD
ME - 2; one is Trump +9 but a D wins it
NH - 2; GOP Gov vetoed plan to make a Trump CD
CT - 5; Court-ordered redistricting keeps 2002 plan in place; can draw 1 Trump CD
MA - 9; can only draw 1 Trump CD

I'm going to break my self-imposed social media ban to note something that I might write if I wasn't leaving on a trip tonight:
