India has a population of 1.4 billion people. There being 3 horrific stories within a day does not say much. You seeing 3 such stories says more about your media than India.

Didn't have anyone representing Hamas or Israel.

I guess Biden has started to be a bit more careful about how he phrases things now, after the "Israeli" deal he announced a while back, that was immediately rejected by Netenyahu.

Mostly potassium salt, although with some other recipe changes to account for the different flavor.

The good news is that potassium is well understood nutritionally. Most Americans do not get enough of it. To a first approximation, it is anti-sodium health wise, so it is a double win in that it both reduces sodium intake, and counters the effect of a still high sodium intake.

Plant based meats are bassically the definition of highly processed food.

Unironically, yes. A common substitute for table salt (sodium chloride NaCl) is potassium salt (potassium chloride KCl).

The good news is that the health problems with table salt is the sodium, not the chloride. Potassium actually has the opposite effect on the body, so a higher potassium intake would actually help treat a high sodium intake.

The us also has a $14,600 standard deduction that effectively adds a 0% bracket and increases the lower thresholds by that amount (people in the higher thresholds would probably itemize, decreasing their effective tax even further).

The IRS does index the tax brackets for inflation.

Also, that table does not include state taxes.

This isn't progress. It is actively incentiving having compensation be tips in the tax code.

No, we don't know that. First, not even the military claims that all of the detainies orchestrated 9/11 (which is a much stronger claim then merely being involved).

Second, do we really trust the portion of military that violated domestic law, violated international human rights law, lied to congress about it, and fought for decades against bringing cases to trial?

Is it more likely than not that a given inmate there is a terrorist? Probably. But that is not the standard for indefinite imprisonment.

Egypt has been an ally for decades, even if public opinion in Egypt has forced the government to keep the relationship out of the spotlight. Anyone who claims that Israel has no friends in the region is woefully out of date. The region is bipolar, and Israel is firmly in one of the two camps.

The crazy thing is that most of the 9/11 comparisons have been coming from Israel and proponents of the way Israel has been handling this.

I seriously do not understand how someone can look at the history of the US's response to 9/11 and come away thinking it supports Israel's actions. Although, in fairness to Israel, at least they got the (quasi)country correct.

Moral of the story: get nukes (see also, North Korea)

Also, the US has been regularlu conditioning its weapons supplies to Ukraine on them not being used in Russia proper; while calls to put any conditions on Israel's usage of them have been a complete non-starter.
