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
Go home. God. Those two need to sit the fuck down.
Write your reps today. Tell them, simply, no Hakeem fucking Jeffries.
Day one, first order of business, the new congress needs to sideline them. They shouldn't even be allowed to take interviews.
Tell them. It takes 5min to fill out the contact us form.
Here's a script!:
My script, feel free to use (or just replace Jeffries with Schumer and use for a senator call):
I was a little more succinct. Please, do not allow Jeffries anywhere near the speaker of the House position. It will defeat the entire purpose of this blue tsunami. He symbolizes everything the American people don’t want: a do nothing congress that delivers bullshit in lieu of real words and real action.
Please do no allow Jeffries to become speaker of the house.
You forgot codifying Roe.
How do you know I didn't
Because I know you and I love you anyway.
Thank you bb
I don’t. But it deserves saying it out loud.
Don't just tell them who not to pick. Give them a list names for better choices.
AOC is the only one who stands out, honestly. I’m old and even I see that much.
Yeah she'd definitely be an awesome Speaker. Maybe say that to your reps when you contact them about no Jeffries
Already done. Slammed Jeffries and asked for AOC right after I saw Jefffies and that walking skeleton Schumer talking like this blue have had anything to do with them.
I wonder if it is too early to contact my new senator and house rep. I don't see a way other than sending an email to their campaign emails. I suspect Abdul and McCann already believe this, but want to make sure they know they have our support as well.
Nope. Do it.
Did you read what I wrote? Do what? How am I supposed to contact them?
I was frazzled and tired and didn’t read it all while not sleeping when I should. Apologies.
Mine was an incumbent who retained their seat. Iirc, hers was up and running before the turn of the year, 2 years ago.
Did this less than an hour ago.
