(CBS DETROIT) — After decades of decline, Detroit's population population is finally growing once again, according to new estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Detroit gained 1,852 residents between July 1, 2022, and July 1, 2023, bringing its population to 633,366. The city went for six decades without seeing growth, instead seeing population declines every year since 1958.

Following the release of the new data, Detroit now ranks as the 26th most populous city in the United States, up three places from the 29th spot in 2023, and moving above Memphis, Louisville and Portland.

2. For the first time since 1984 sovereigntist parties have not a majority of seats in the Parliament of Catalonia

3. Pro-independence parties only resist in small towns
 with <1000 inhabitants. Nationalist vote falls in larger towns like Vilanova (-7.6%), Reus (-7.3%), Badalona (-7%) or Tereassa (-6.5%)

According to polls support for independence decreases,  particularly among the younger voters

4. Non-nationalist parties win in lower income places. The PSC gets 38%in the poorest neighborhoods and 22% in the richest, vix 12% and 6%. Junts vote ranges between 12% in the poorest neighbourhoods to 28% in the richest

5. 1/2 ERC voters switch to other parties or abstained. According to a 50dB poll ERC losses went to Comuns (3%), AC (5%), PSC (7%,) or Junts (16%)

6. The combined vote of PP, Vox and Cs increases 2.7% with regard 2021. PP and Vox get 19% ofcthe vote, which is the highest record gor Spanish right-wing parties in Catalan elections

7. Aliança Cataparties fall 8 slana emerges forcefully, particularly in small towns of Girona and Lleida

8. Polls were reasonably aootted on

9. Pro-independence parties fall 7 sests from majority,  while the tripartite PSC-ERC-Comins has a narrow majority (that could have been lost in case AC surpassed the 3% threshold in Barcelona province)

Why am I not surprised that all this happened under Comer's watch?
The guy isn't competent enough to preside over a spelling bee contest.

I don't blame her for clapping back, but ideally progressives would refuse to stoop down to the level of the MAGA deplorables.

This whole exchange (both of them) makes us look ridiculous. You have two women who are paid by our tax dollars verbally sparring at each other like high school girls. Ridiculous. What's the Congressional equivalent of making both sit in the corner or have a time out? If they wanna act like children they should be treated as such.

Highly recommend Hundreds of Beavers to anyone who grew up on a diet of Looney Tunes.

I’ve got qualifying exams in a few days and it doesn’t seem promising. I guess my consolation if I do fail is that this field seems less and less like something I actually want to do. That of course brings its own host of problems.

Doubtful. If they couldn't win them in 2022, I doubt it this year.

But the national environment has greatly worsened for Democrats since the 2022 midterms.

It's worsened for Biden. Not necessarily the Democrats. The generic ballot polls as of now are usually tied or giving Democrats a slight edge. 2022 House popular vote was R+2.

Not only that, but there's hindsight from the 2022 midterms in Nevada.

Both should be punished. Congress people acting like high school students? Censure both.

What percent of Romney-Clinton/Biden voters does Hogan end up getting?

About two thirds I'd assume. They are ground zero of his crossover appeal.

It's not 2014 anymore though. And these are the types of voters who would recognize what an extra Republican number in the Senate means.

I have to back McConnell on this. Make a more specific bill that is specific in targeting in political figures only, word it carefully and I might support it. As of now, I enjoy my AI content (political and not). There are fun videos of Biden, Obama, and Trump gaming together. Everyone knows they're fake. A bill like that would ban fun stuff like that.
