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!

How has it shifted
Not the other guy, but there's been some posts on lemmy saying some white house staff are pressuring Biden to rethink his Israel position.
There is a lot of room to hide in those words
And here I thought making shit up was exclusive to conservatives.
Your skepticism is warranted but the lack of links in my comment is sheer laziness.
I will update it with links if you don't mind waiting.
I can wait. Names of people with direct access to Biden and quotes please. Since you know this is a fact, it should be easy.
Administration officials, who will all have direct approval from the White House, have been openly criticizing Israel, albeit in the weakest way possible. That is a shift, but it's just words and no where near substantial enough to back off and trust they're going to do the right thing. It's progress only insofar as the starting state was "the civilian deaths were unfortunate events no one could be blamed for because Israel is doing the most any nation could to prevent collateral damage and death".
Like whom?
Blinken said "there does remain a gap between exactly what I said when I was there, the intent to protect civilians, and the actual results that we’re seeing on the ground". And Biden said "I want them to be focused on how to save civilian lives. Not stop going after Hamas, but be more careful”. Weak and without any threat of actual action, but not the gaslighting of earlier.
