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!

24 hours ago I hoped Trump would be out of my life forever in less than a day. Right now I'm watching the House races in ever-slimmer hopes that Trump won't have control of the presidency, the Supreme Court, and Congress in January.
The US Enabling Act seems certain to follow if that happens.
Sure looks like the Republican will be in absolute power come January 20th. And, ironically, I feel like Republicans have gotten more done than Democrats over the past two years despite only holding the House.
They have. Because their sole purpose was to prevent anything the Dems wanted. It's easy to do when your only goal is to obstruct.
Well yeah Democrats tell the workers they don't want what they say they want and instead choose to push what disconnected billionaires ask them to push socially. Repubs tell the workers the truth in that Democrats don't care what you want and they instead promise the impossible or wildly impractical very confidently and people would rather buy the dream then face reality.
And the Senate.
"Congress" refers to the legislative branch, made up of the House and the Senate.
That shows how much I know about politics..
Best I can do is livable human future out of your life forever in less than a day.
Ugh. It's genuinely horrific. The fourth reich.
The US Enabling Act was November 5, 2024.
