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!

Congress won't do jack shit as long as the Freedom Caucus aka MAGA can tip any vote. We're past the point of thinking Congress will fix this.
Plus the Founders intention was that Congress isnanslow moving organ at best. There won't be a government by the time they get their shit together.
Call your congress-critter, but understand buying ammo will do more for democracy at this point. And if you're not at that point yet, then you've already let them win.
Susan Collins is very concerned.
Pearls: Clutched.
Brow: Furrowed.
Pants: Shidded
But she’s also convinced he’ll learn his lesson.
Speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, Speaker Mike Johnson praised DOGE: “What Elon and the team are doing is what Congress has not had the ability to do. … They are exposing this massive fraud, waste and abuse that we have not been unable to uncover because the deep state has hidden it from us.”
But he still hasn't actually found or shown any actual fraud, waste or abuse Mikey. You are praising a thing happening that isn't happening.
Transparency so clear that you can't even see it!
They should all drop dead.
When you cede your Constitutional responsibility and abandon your oath of office, you forgo the right to complain.
The Republicans keep on lying. If they were concerned, they would go public. Unless they don’t care about the people, of course. Everyone expected this. Everyone. No surprised pikachu, please.
Who the fuck cares if they fret? They're the reason everything is burning down, even if they may not be MAGA
They're concerned because they're going to be voted out.
Short of that, we're going to behead them all.
a horrible pox upon them all.
Other than MAGA, that is.
Your comment confuses me
MAGA is a pox already
I mean, I wouldn’t mind giving them another.
He means he wants another plague (in addition to MAGA) to be inflicted upon them
The GOP stains would kill their own children without a second thought if they were told to by trump. Or if they were lgbt+
