Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Already kicked out of the party.
This is the chair of the Michigan Democratic Party.
Half her staff resigned.
The video on that article had a great response from El-Sayed at the end, when the press was asking about his response to questions about Stevens and if he knew about her endorsement ahead of time. He basically said he understands that getting answers like that it what drives clicks but ultimately it doesn't matter at all, and that he wished the press would focus on issues the local electorate cares about like prices and wages.
I would like to think even more would have resigned if we had universal Healthcare

transphobe staffers unresigned yet…
Good chance most of the grunts don't have a choice. It's either keep the job for a couple months while actively searching for something new, or go without food or health insurance. I don't envy them.
This should be top. Already rightfully expelled.
All the people bellyaching at the top should take note- blue no matter who and proven.
I don't know that I've personally been bellyaching about the top, but as someone who refuses to donate to the Dem party and only donates to candidates directly, this is really great to see. I've been disappointed in the past by the party's behavior, and this is the kind of behavior I need to see in order to be brought back into the fold.
I'm sure you realize this, but when you directly donate to a Democrat or Republican candidate, they are required to turn around and donate portions of that to their party. The requirements are so great that politicians basically have to become 24x7 fundraisers or else they are punished by the party.
People focus on lobbyists and PACs as dumping money into politics, but a large part of the demand for that money is being generated by the idiot parties themselves.
I'm aware that leftover funds often (not always) get donated to the party, but do you have any source for the mandate for portions of donated funds?
I do in fact! Oh, and don't think it is just Congress. I don't have a source beyond "something I heard on NPR one time", but pretty much every level has to raise money in order to get the full support of their party.
This seems like a stark rebuke of the above. The national party has been absolutely toxic towards El-Sayud since he filled to run.
Vote Who Chuck Schumer Tells You Too, is more like it
Finally the dems actually kick people out for some of this shit
shes was too blatant even for schumer or hakeem, she was suppose to use the double speak, say one thing, and do the opposite behind the scenes.
What are the actual consequences of this though? Michigan is an open primary state. Democratic party membership is meaningless.
she wont get support, possibly money from the dems, not like tha tmatters, since she got aipac money.
Can he do that? Like he has that power? I'm glad if he does of course, I'm just kind of surprised that's within his power to just declare.
weird they can’t do the same for transphobes in DNC
