    I thought Obama got it out of a sense of relief of being rid of Dubya.

    I note the counted numbers are down from last year. For DC the point-in-time count was 5,138 which was 478 fewer than last year. This included 1,356 who were in family units with minor children (440 units with 855 children). 199 were veterans.

    @Net Spinster Are you saying the last count had 1,356 family units this year, but there were 440 units last year?

    No: of the 5,138 homeless people 1356 were members of families with children. Those 1356 (of whom 855 were children) made up 440 families (which could be one adult one child or more than that).

    No. Surely it is simply that 1,356 of the homeless (855 of whom were children) made up 440 family units.

    Thank you for the clarification. No dispute here. I have been involved in the homeless count in Spokane over several years. If anything, I always felt it undercounted the real numbers. Even the Housing and Urban Development Department admits it is not an exact count. But, it is what we have.

    For fans of ultra-lowbrow political insult, MAGA grandees Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer are currently having an exchange on X that sounds like it was transcribed from the walls of a washroom stall.

    This is probably best kept as a "google it yourself". For now I'll just wonder if CrossFit gym is happy for the free advertising.

    For some context...

    Marjorie Taylor Greene is likely the most vocal Israel-skeptic in the House Republican Caucus, a position the pro-Israel Loomer views as rooted in antisemitism. So when Loomer says that "Jews forced Marjorie Taylor Greene to [perform certain allegedly immoral actions]", the meaning is likely that MTG wants people to believe that Jews are responsible for her own moral failings, not that they actually are.
