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 the fuck did the Huffington Post get included?
It's all the same capitalist/imperial trash.
It's like the token liberal coming on as a guest on Fox News. They're there to be a strawman to attack and mock. Anything they say can just be twisted into, "HuffingtonPost is an obviously biased liberal hack. But see? We're being fair!"
Ah. Good point.
All that ball gargling really helped ya there NYT
Imagine writing about this dude fucking over all of the people that helped him gain power at minimum once a week for 8 years, and then thinking that it's still a good idea to do the same.
Yet another example of leopards that aren't gonna eat my face.
Yep, we all knew they’d be the first victims of the Trump dictatorship. Hope selling out the country for a few months of “Biden old” headlines was worth it, rat bastards.
They're all owned by oligarchs. Trumps tax cuts alone will probably net those oligarchs 10x more profit than the orgs they own.
I fucking ADORE this schadenfreude right now.
And now they control the media. Just like the Nazis.
Yeah cause all those capitalist/imperial outlets were constantly criticizing and resisting the pentagon. \s \s \s
They are the nazis.
This is how trump repays those who were complicit in his rise.
Which is amusing because The New York Times spent months working to get Trump reelected. And almost certainly had a much greater impact on his election victory than either Breitbart or OAN. They tanked their credibility for some cheap headlines and still got the boot. lol

Yes, they were the complicit ones I was talking about.
Ah right. Sorry I misread your comment. It’s getting pretty late over here.
No worries. In retrospect, there was ambiguity.
Well, that's a 1st amendment issue, that's an incoming lawsuit they're going to lose
when are people going to stop believing lawsuits and laws are going to stop fascists from doing whatever the fuck they want to do?

No, it's not.
Hegseth isn't restricting those outlets from appearing at Pentagon briefings; rather they're not being allowed to maintain an office on-site. While elevating right-wing liars such as Breitbart and OAN is obviously terrible, the other outlets will still be attending whatever propaganda rallies Hegseth holds.
Lawsuit, sure. But Lose? Have you been paying attention?
If the lawsuit isn’t thrown out by some rat-fuck judge, the result will have absolutely no impact on the current machinations of the diet-Nazis.
It’s going to take more than a stern talking to if you want to root out fascists.
I suppose if we’re going to be Russia we needed our own RT and Pravda. Ugh… We’re so fucked.
You mean VOA and NPR?
Forgot to mention HuffPost will also be getting an office.
