🗳 🇺🇸 ⚪️ How Swing-State Populations Have Changed Since the 2020 Election
Projected county population growth
🔶️ "Bloomberg News's fascinating piece examined how migration since 2020 will affect the 2024 presidential election. According to Census data, counties that voted for Joe Biden had higher rates of population growth than counties that voted for Donald Trump."
🔶️ "Across most swing states, smaller rural Republican-leaning counties have been losing population while the blue-leaning suburbs and cities have gained. The counties that Trump won with a growing population have added nearly 814,000 new voters while Biden's counties have added 1.314 million new voters. Several swing states that were decided by under 20,000 votes will have 300,000-400,000 new voters living in them. Also, an important note: counties with shrinking populations in swing states that voted for Biden in 2020 lost nearly 100,000 people… 57 percent came from just one county, Wayne, Michigan - home of Detroit."

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.
