Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Summary

Trump evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her military housing with just three hours' notice, despite an earlier 60-day waiver.

Fagan, the first woman to lead a military branch, was dismissed on Trump's second day in office over concerns about DEI policies and border security.

Homeland Security officials cited her termination as justification, though sources called it a "petty" move.

Fagan was forced to leave most belongings behind, spending the night with friends while awaiting relocation of her personal items.

ITT, and every thread about Trump, : 'Fight guys! I'll sit here with my tendies and watch how it goes. "They've picked the wrong fight!" and all that, carry on!'

When you're asking yourselves how the Germans let Nazis happen, remember: if you haven't shot a fascist yet, you're one of the Germans that let Nazis happen. Stop calling for other people to fight, you fucking cowards. Go fight for yourselves.

Edit: for what it's worth, I'm American and will not be flying across the country to throw my life away.

So you're literally describing yourself?

[–] Jax 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm going to avoid calling you insults in this first response.

I'm very clearly stating that I'm unwilling to fight, and you won't see a single comment suggesting otherwise on my profile. I dislike people who cry war from their comfy battlestations at home. If you can't fight, for disability reasons or whatever you can help without calling for others to fight for you. Otherwise you're just a coward who's making things worse.

That's great, if you feel the need to fight for yourself then do so. If I didn't have people who rely on me, I'd probably be dropping everything to do so.

I can't. I'll help how I can, I'll try to make the world a better place. I cannot simply drop everything and fight, my mom needs to eat.
