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!

As Lt. Gov he put a pride flag and a weed flag hanging on the balcony outside his office window, which is right at the front of the PA Capitol. When Republicans passed legislation forbidding any flags except the state and US flags flying over the capitol his response was "They're not flying they're hanging."
He didn't use the Lt. Governor's residence in Harrisburg, but since it has a big pool he found some kids' groups who could use it during the summer.
A bridge falls down in Pittsburgh and this fuckin Yinzer goes out in his finest Pennsylvania tuxedo to talk to the president about it.
I'm so goddamn proud to have him as my Senator.
Honestly, I’m kinda jealous.
We need more like him- everywhere. Dude actually cares. Even most dems don’t really care about their specific constituents like that.
He cares so much about everyone that when PA was talking about changing marijuana access he went on a statewide listening tour to all sixty-seven counties, even ones like Potter and Tioga counties where the deer outnumber the people and nearly all of those people vote Republican.
His campaign slogan was "Every County. Every Vote." He really wants to represent everybody in PA, not just the Philadelphia suburbs.
He cares and he doesn't play the same bullshit equivocation games that the rest of the Dems play. The GOP is full of screaming gibbons that offer nothing of substance and therefore are to be ignored and ridiculed until they can discuss the real problems like adults
I really appreciate him for being very honest about mental health.
