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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

Vance, lies so hard we got whiplash.
Walz, made statements that could be misleading if you thought they were representative of this one, narrow way to interpret his statement.
Jesus, really gotta do the "fair and balanced" shit, huh?
You can just call out liars without also calling honest statements false.
Iran has not received $100 billion in unfrozen assets under the Biden-Harris administration
Walz overstates the cost of insulin before cap
Vance links unaffordable housing to immigrants who have come into the country illegally
Walz wrongly claims Project 2025 creates pregnancy registry
Vance overstates immigration numbers
Vance distorts Minnesota abortion law
Vance on Trump and Jan. 6, 2021
Err, regarding the pregnancy registry I thought period tracking was included in P2025? That's effectively pregnancy tracking.
Yup!
Also, there’s other things that kinda would require some sort of database.
Like making sure that pregnant peeps carry to term and pop out a baby, you know. For reasons. Because the birth certificate isn’t enough…
And a federal record of abortions, stillbirths and miscarriages. Which is also pregnancy tracking.
Walz overstates the cost of insulin before cap
WALZ: “They were charging $800 before this law went into effect.”
The correction states the average insulin price was lower. However, the point in my mind was that there were companies charging $800+ for insulin when they were allowed to.
