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!

That's not at all a horrifying portent of what's to come no matter which out of touch authoritarian wins in November..
Which 16? Name and shame.

Looks like I have a representative to call.
Mine is hiding behind a submission form requiring a permanent address in their district in order to contact them.
Looks like I'll just have to show up at their office to ask why they sent bombs to kill thousands of innocent women and children.
I found an address on Google Maps to write mine.
There's definitely a phone number you can use you just may need to dig for it.
Genuinely, thank you for doing that.
Fuck Richie Torres.
The last 5 are
And of course the always despicable anti-choice conservative who Pelosi and Clyburn got elected over a great progressive candidate, Henry Cuellar (TX 28th)
Coathanger Cuellar truly represents party leadership to absolute perfection.

Article didn't say and I'm too lazy to search the Congressional Record for them right now, sorry..
Edit: changed my mind and, while I haven't found the vote yet, I found some of the debate, starting with "Mr. Bacon from Nebraska" saying "Israel" or "Israelis" 36 times, "Palestine" 0 times, and "Palestinian" 2 times (with the first one immediately followed by "terrorists") in a 5 minute statement 🤦
You first.
