Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Louisiana Senator: Our Maternal Death Rates Are Only Bad If You Count Black Women
(www.vanityfair.com)
This article is from 2022, for anyone wondering before you click
"If you correct our population for race..."
Like the Nazis tried to do. The Republican program.
I'm sure he doesn't think this sounds racist
I mean, it's probably mostly a distraction from the real issue, which is they have a huge population who can't afford to access to quality Healthcare (regardless of race). I'm sure their numbers would look even better if they excluded all poor people, but he'd rather stir up race issues than class issues.
I think you are giving him far more credit than I do.
Eh, you're probably right
Our maternal death rates are the best if we only count white men!
"... which we don't. "
Weep at the fact that America is a country where a senator thinks that's an okay thing to say
Is it though? They still look higher than the national average.
Only if you count women.
Louisiana Senator: Our Maternal Death Rates Are Only Bad If You Count Our Most Vulnerable Populations
If you ignore marginalized and oppressed citizens then all kinds of things look great! Wealth, education, home ownership, health. Why did no one think of this before?
Three years old article.
