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!

If they cut my son's special education program my Congressman is hearing from me daily. It's fucking Nazi Eugenics. Adapt or die and they frankly don't care which it is.
Missouri here... if you're worried about your congressman hearing from you daily after the cuts, you're already on the game too late. If you're concerned you need to be doing it before
Section 504 may on the chopping block federally soon, but more critically is Texas v. Bacerra. Please check if your state is joining and call your reps asap. Talk to your sped teachers and fellow parents too.

It's already past time to be making those calls, at the least.
Uh oh, watch out. Collins is thinking about the idea to think about saying something slightly stern to President Musky and Lady Trump.
As Congress, they can act and ensure that these cuts don't happen, but that would require them not being complicit.
It's hard to speak up with your face buried in a crusty asshole
Who cares what they think, USA Today? It’s not relevant because they never act on it. They’re just taking up space.
