UPDATE: ACA vote gets delayed, then tabled


Sorry. Try again. That is the verdict on Paul Ryan's new and improved healthcare proposal.

 The vote to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been postponed. All Democrats oppose the proposed adjustments to the healthcare plan or the so called American Healthcare Act and Republicans were not able to come to a consensus after day long arguments. The vote was scheduled to coincide with the 7th anniversary of the ACA Thursday to give Trump bragging rights in passing the first major piece of legislation in his poitical career, bringing an end to the bill essentially on the day it began.

Trump issued an ultimatum saying he wants a vote by Friday or they will be "stuck with Obamacare." While many lawmakers may be eager to make a final decison ahead of the upcming Congressional Spring Break, Trump now faces embarassment as several House Republicans take their time to carefully dissect the proposal before approving it, which further underscores the growing rift in the GOP.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
