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!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
So it’s no surprise that the contest to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein has devolved into a pitched battle between prominent Democratic House members eyeing the coveted job.
The race has sparked fiery attacks between Democratic establishment favorite and frontrunner Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank and economic-populist Rep. Katie Porter of Orange County fueled by some chicanery to try to exploit the state’s top-two system.
The shadow-boxing began nearly a month ago when Schiff rolled out a TV ad cheekily promoting Garvey, calling him “too conservative” for California and tying him to former President Donald Trump.
She recently debuted a digital ad drawing attention to the little-known GOP candidate Eric Early, calling him “way too MAGA for California” and more pro-Trump than Garvey.
Progressives are increasingly fearful that their two candidates — Porter and Lee — will split left-leaning voters and lock each other out, paving the way for a Schiff versus Garvey showdown.
Porter is best known as a Sen. Elizabeth Warren-style populist, pushing economic issues like childcare and taking on corporations with her characteristic whiteboard, while Lee has long advocated against wars like Afghanistan, for civil liberties and reining in the Pentagon.
