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!

These people are not who you think they are.
Keeping your eye on the ball...suppose Schumer did bring the House bill to the floor. Suppose also, that by some quirk it passed. How long do you think it would take Biden to Veto it? I'd say 30 seconds max.
You really think Biden will step in to protect the rights of people protesting Israel's genocide of Palestinians, the one he has been facilitating for more than a year? Biden who takes significant amounts of money from pro-Israel organizations and has consistently sent Israel weapons throughout its attack on Gaza? Trump and Biden are pretty much aligned when it comes to supporting the genocide and wanting to silence the protestors, although their methods may differ.
Biden is on the downward side of his last job and will do no favors for his replacement.
Then why did Biden pledge his full support to Trump?
For transition not Presidemcy. But you knew that
This is such a hilariously fantastic view of who Biden is. Like with pretending that abusing people with Blue MAGA rhetoric was going to win an election, you do elicit this choice at all of our peril.
Biden isn't on your side. Neither are the Democrats.
They could be. If we take a deep breath and collectively decide to tell the collective political establishment as it stands to fuck off, we CAN make change. On a side note: This is also how you fight fascism.
