Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. 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.
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, blogs, 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.

I have been assured that Harris would be doing the exact same thing.
Literally no difference between the two. None whatsoever. She’d be doing all the same stuff, for sure. That’s what The Duopoly™️ posters have told me, so it must be true.
Literally no difference in fact.
Oh thank goodness. Otherwise this would really suck!
I have nothing of value to add, but this is slightly amusing. I promise I’m not all 51 of your votes for this comment.
The pharmaceutical industry in America wouldn’t want to help eradicate HIV in other countries while simultaneously charging many people for the monthly drugs on their own soil. They don’t want to cure anybody when they can get a new monthly subscriber to their overinflated drug prices.
That's why it was a government program. Government doesn't need to put profit first
PEPFAR was targeted by Musk because he is a racist asshole who didn't want money going to help black Africans.
Just send it on a boat and do grass root promotions locally. Don't give up!
This requires money to pay for the drugs in the first place
Yeah you gotta remember we have a doofus as president and a guy who doesn't believe in germs as head of health...
Why would we do anything remotely good under this admin?
Guaran-fucking-tee you — if this administration lifts a finger in the middle of looting the country, it's to do some evil shit. Literally worse than comic book villains. I don't know that I'll ever again take villains who "kinda have a point" seriously in movies again.
No. Real villains are Snidely Whiplash, cackling and twirling their ridiculous hair as they throw women and children onto train tracks for literally no gain of their own.
