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!

MODERATORS
Is there supposed to be a news article here?
It's suppose to be megathread.
A megathread on a topical event where there’s not even a link to explain what the megathread is about?
DOJ lawyers modified the Federal documents indictment in Florida to add three new felony charges, bumping the number of charges against Trump down there from 37 to an even 40.
I'm keeping track here:
https://lemmy.one/post/732122
Can you post the Lemmy link instead so that we actually stay signed in? If you're using an app your link doesn't really work that well.
Hmm... I'm not sure how else to generate a link. All the sharing options generate the same one:
https://lemmy.one/post/732122
I'll try from a browser later today and see if I can get something better.
I can only see posts from 1 month ago or later there (politics@beehaw), even sorting by new, and it’s saying I’m subscribed. Huh
Sorry about that, here's the text until I can get a new link sorted out:
This seemed to be popular information when I posted it (ahem) "elsewhere". Thought it might be welcome to have here.
If you're trying to keep track of where we're at in the Trump prosecutions:

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one.
That is very kind of you to do, I appreciate it and thank you. And yes, I am interested in the post…just curious if I’m doing something wrong or if I can fix the issue here, or if it’s something on Lemmy’s end. Not sure :)
Thanks again!
Doesn't help that lemmy.one appears to be completely dead now. :(
I had to set up lemmy.world and kbin.social accounts.
Edit Lemmy.one is back! The instance went down while the owner was out of town!
Beehaw defederated from shitworks around then (they are waiting for mod tools to refederate), you can see beehaw if you log out, or use a different instance.
Oh thank you! I wasn’t aware. Okay, I have an account on Lemmy.world I can swap to :)
Rebranding without a particular purpose really only serves to make everything more confusing. See X.com
If an opinion poll is needed to validate the rebrand, after the rebrand, then it's probably not the right choice.
True, I'll rechange it now back to megathread and link articles to it. My mistake, and let the debate war begin.
