Young white males take up a very small share of US government benefits—roughly 1-3% of major means-tested programs like SNAP based on age, race, and sex breakdowns from USDA and Census data. They are not among the top recipient groups.
The bulk of benefits (SS, Medicare) go to the elderly. Among means-tested aid, children, women, and higher-poverty groups predominate; young white males rank low both in absolute numbers and per capita rates.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…
Your brain on protestantism
I am a gay Christian. Scripture is explicit that salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by perfect adherence to any cultural or sexual standard (Ephesians 2:8-9). The same New Testament that contains hard passages also declares that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39). My standing is defined by that grace, not by whether I meet every traditional expectation around orientation.

Catholic. Early sources like Clement and Irenaeus show bishops appointed in continuous lines from the apostles, with Rome holding special prominence. That institutional continuity through the early councils aligns more closely with the historical church than later Protestant bodies or the post-1054 Orthodox separation.

The Catholic bishops have been among the biggest proponents of mass immigration so there is irony in the fact that as soon as the migrants start to flex their power, their first target to destroy is the Church.

Brad Pitt and Tom Brady represent the height of masculine success. And yet, in American feminism, they are completely powerless in their marriages and can be destroyed at any time by their frivolous wives. Young men see that as a symbol: you can never be handsome enough, rich enough, popular enough, famous enough, tall enough to be safe in no-fault divorce America. These radical marriage laws are going to be transformed to disempower women, because the sexual liberation of feminism has been ridiculous. The world's top men are getting crushed. There's a lack of security for any man, at any level of the food chain.

We’re about to discover that poor midterms are a result of immigration enforcement, tariffs, insufficient messaging to women and minorities, and anti-war podcasters
Not a disastrous foreign policy, a stalled SAVE Act, insufficient deportations, or the botched Epstein disclosure

This analysis misses the fact that the choice isn’t necessarily between four years of Amy Acton and four years of Vivek.
It’s more likely between four years of Amy Acton and *eight* years of Vivek.
If Vivek can pull out a win in this bad of a year for Republicans, then he’s a lock for reelection. It’s a red state, and the Republican legislature will have an incentive to get along with him so that he doesn’t fail and drag down their own reelection campaigns.
Amy Acton is more likely to lose reelection than Vivek is because, again, it’s a red state, and the Republican legislature will have an incentive to undermine her to polarize the next election cycle in their favor.
As precedent, this is exactly what happened after Ted Strickland won as a Democrat in the bloodbath of 2006 by a whopping 23.9% over Republican Ken Blackwell before going on to lose to John Kasich in 2010.
The question here is really whether Amy Acton can do more damage in four years with a hostile legislature than Vivek can do in eight years with a legislature that he can co-opt.
Given the recent contempt that the GOP has exhibited for young white men, this question answers itself.

People will readily admit that the reason she didn't depict a minority group in this ad is because they would have freaked out. Then in the same breath tell you that you shouldn't freak out.
But you just admitted that black people freaking out prevented them from being used as a punching bag?
Why exactly wouldn't we use the same tactic which you just admitted works?

"Why don't YOU try to pull of a pump and dump pharma scam!"
Well dinesh, I freely admit that it genuinely wouldn't occur to me to buy a failed Alzheimer's drug, have my mother (!) concoct a fake study, rake in investor money and then rug-pull the whole thing. My mind doesn't really work that way. And if it did, there's no way I'd get my mother (!) on board with producing a fake medical study to help with my scam, because she's not third world scum like apparently the entire ramaswamy family is.
Dinesh D'Souza, Mr. Race blind, Mr. Conservative Christian, goes to the mat for a literal scammer (a hindu no less) out of what definitely isn't a very clear case of ethnic solidarity.
