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!

MODERATORS
I can't WAIT for Chuck Schumer And His Democrats to do LITERALLY NOTHING to Stop this or Slow it Down in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM!
"We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas. They win this round, but we aren't giving up, and will continue to resist all efforts to end their reign of terror. Send money."
"So we took the money and did nothing with it to stop Trump. Another $5 this time will surely let us kick the football, Charlie Brown. Give us your paycheck, so we can stop Trump, unlike the last 8 years!"
Here he and Jeffries are now:
Apparently the bill passed already.
Passed the house not the senate. The filibuster in the senate is the main hurdle for the bill. That's what requires 60 votes meaning it'd take at least 7 votes from dems
Dems have shot plenty of things down this term via the filibuster though the CR was a notable horrible exception. For instance, they successfully filibustered an anti-trans legislation earlier in march. There is no threat of a shutdown here if they don't let this bill get through. It's a tall order for it to get through. Still call your senator and tell them to vote against cloture for it
the 10 dinos might vote for it in the senate(we know there is at least 10 of them)
Theyre actually passing bills? That's adorable that they think they are actually doing something. They havent realized that we've entered the era of Ruling by Executive Orders, and their jobs are only ceremonial.
it passed in the house, but it's extremely unlikely to get 60 votes in the senate
10 DINOS are currently in the senate, 4 dinos in the house voted for the bill. alot of them never wouldve never been elected in a reddish area, if they dint vote right wing some of the times. manchin was just blatantly obvious, as was sinema because they were lightning rods to shield the rest of the Dinos from getting primaried.
If dems had power in congress then none of this would be happening in the first place.
If they wielded power when we gave it to them, they might not have lost.
