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!

MODERATORS
I still can't believe that nothing came of that investigation. When his buddy pled guilty I thought an indictment was on its way.
Not only has he not been held accountable, his party has elevated him to king-maker!
The moderate wing of the republican party completely folded on this speaker issue. They made so much noise though they I hope a lot of "on the fence" republicans are getting frustrated with their choices. My father in law voted Republican his entire life until Trump's reelection and he's been voting for Democrats in national elections since. He still votes republican for his local elections. More of that and we can kiss people like boebert goodbye.
I hope this finally shows the electorate that there's no such thing as a moderate Republican any more. A lot of these guys got elected in areas where the MAGA stuff doesn't play too well, so it should be easy to tie them to the extremists in the next election.
I'm going to watch Arizona's Senate race. It looks to be a three way race with Sinema, lake, & most likely Ruben Gallego. If Republicans line up behind lake and the independents and Democrats are split between Sinema and Gallego then we get senator lake, which would not be very good.
Are there any democrats still willing to vote for Sinema though? I assumed everyone pretty much hates her after she showed her true colors.
I don't live in Arizona so I don't claim to have inside knowledge but I don't think it's a deeply democratic state. I think that there are quite a few moderate Democrats who will vote for her. Kelly and Sinema both won by only a couple of percentage points. It wouldn't take a lot to spoil it for Lake, especially if all the Republicans stick with her.

Surprising given Hawleys name is attached to this.
Booker seems like someone who's always trying to find something he can agree with someone on.
You mean like a politician should do?
That's getting rare nowadays
