For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body. More info

Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr is set to announce a ban on certain artificial food dyes in the US, according to a statement from the health agency.

Kennedy plans to announce the phasing out of petroleum-based synthetic dyes as a "major step forward in the Administration's efforts to Make America Healthy Again" the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said on Monday.

No exact dates for the changes were provided, but HHS said Kennedy would announce more details at a news conference on Tuesday.

The dyes - which are found in dozens of foods, including breakfast cereals, candy, snacks and beverages - have been linked to neurological problems in some children.

Ugh legit, headline should maybe read "Chud with brain holes in position of extreme power accidentally does something right." Or something like that. That might be a little wordy, I'm not a journalist.

Brainworm-infested zombie aimlessly flailing around also hits the right targets.

Before he flipped to cozy up to trump, the base of a lot of his ideas made sense. He would just take the thing and run with it until he got to crazy-land.

Ten steps back, but at least one step forward.

Except it isn't a broken clock, it's a lying clock. It's saying the time is inconsistent and arbitrary, and only that clock can tell you the true time. The first step in getting you to accept the lying clock as the source of true time is to tell you a time you think is correct, but justify it with a lie. It may indeed be 12 noon eastern standard time, but it is not because the clock had a conference call with Bigfoot and Dracula where they determined it is indeed 12 noon eastern time.
