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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

This is the way.
I am on the email distro for Tom Emmer from Minnesota just to keep an eye on what narratives are being pushed, and Republicans are already starting to target Walz with a slow drip of propaganda in these districts. This is what he sent out a few days ago:
There will be weekly emails like this now that Biden is no longer a target. Walz needs to set a narrative with these people because Republicans are great at seizing the narrative.
Here are some things that Reagan had no control over whatever.
Before he became President a Polish labor Union, Solidarity, began tearing away at the myth of the "workers' state." Pope John Paul II began speaking out against Communism. The soviets invasion of Afghanistan became a quagmire.
Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened while Reagan was President. Three Soviet leaders died within three years.
The final nail in the coffin was when hardliners staged a coup against reformer Gorbachev and the Soviet citizens went to the streets to protest.
Somehow, we've been fed the lie that "Reagan destroyed the USSR and won the Cold War."
The Soviet war in Afghanistan didn’t help them much either. Though Reagan did have some influence there by selling weapons to the Mujahadeen, a move which had no repercussions /s
I see they are trying to tie Tim Walz to Feed our Futures. I don't know if it is going to work but it is expected.
If you are following the trial of Aimee Bock its pretty obvious that the way the law was written was suppose to give our food aid fast with checking afterwards. In the middle of global pandemic whether this a good idea or not is debatable but I think it was. Also it was a large operation which sued to keep itself open. If you are interested I recommend the Sahan Journal which has been doing some great coverage.
I love how they talk about all this fraud and criminal activity, and yet has anything actually been found?
I mean don't get me wrong, our government gets fleeced in a lot of ways, but it's usually through government contracts to private companies, not the agencies themselves.
