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!

I’m with you.
It’s almost like Elon and Vivek have no fucking idea how government works….
Government never has and never will be efficient. It’s not meant to turn a profit like a business. It is meant to provide services for its constituents and collect taxes to fund those services.
How do I call the Death Squad?
President Musk, huh? I wonder what First Lady Trump thinks about himself not being the most important person in his party.
It really does make trump look weak.
I can only hope this narrative concludes quickly and in the expected fashion.
Nah trump loves money and e-loin definitely has dirt on trump that he could pull at any time. E-loin is here to stay
It also may be that we've misinterpreted who wears the daddy pants in that relationship.
You know...I might never be rich or powerful, but I will also never have to debase myself and gargle Leon's grains of sand. I think I'm willing to accept that.
I don't remember seeing Elmo on my ballot.
I hate headlines that capitalize every word - like, who the hell is Mike Grovels?
