Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

A group of around 50 activists were arrested on Capitol Hill on Tuesday while calling for an arms embargo on Israel and urging US senators to vote for a bill that would block a $20 billion weapons package to Israel.

The demonstration of more than 100 activists from a broad coalition of different groups, including Palestinians, Jews, climate advocates, veterans and indigenous people, took place in the atrium of the Senate Hart Office Building one day before senators vote on the bill.

The measure, called the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval, a series of resolutions introduced by Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch of Vermon, Brian Schatz of Hawaii and Jeff Merkley of Oregon, would block around $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel that was put forth by President Joe Biden's administration.

A group of around 50 activists ~~were arrested~~ volunteered for the first wave of deportations in a couple months.

Enjoy the due process while it lasts because pretty soon 'arrested' will be for the lucky. President 'can we violently disperse a crowd so my photo op is not delayed?' is almost here.
