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!

Schumer thinks the kill shot for the republican opposition is to focus on lowering grocery prices (something they honestly have no power or plan to do) while citizens are getting shot in the street.
I got a newsletter from Gillibrand and she doesn't even mention ICE, at the time a week after Renee Good was killed.
They're not even picking up the ball.
Those two are con artists. It's funny you mention Schumer having picking a topic he has no power over because I imagine that his role shtick.
Haha the Schumer Schtick: con the public by talkng about emotional idioms he has no control over and distract away from real issues he does have control over.
He had control over the shutdown, that absolutely worthless shit of a man.
Ah, the one that shivved Franken.
I would absolutely berate these people if I ever saw them on the street
The nobility should fear the peasantry.
Schumer is obviously working for team red. Don't listen to a word he says, just. watch his actions. It's obvious and indisputable.
I got a letter from Juan Vargas and they not only misspelled my name, they basically told me that they don't have any way to actually change anything. I don't actually know which call they were responding to, I have a tendency to call those cowards once a week.
Install the app called "5 Calls," it makes it trivial to contact your representatives and senators. They also provide you with scripts if you need help wording things.
