politics
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!

Terrible news, of course, but I'd like to thank OP for including a little of the article. It means, in my blog, I can link to this page on Lemmy, instead of linking to the article and all the ads no doubt awaiting readers there...
I don't think AP has any ads. They make their money by selling their news to other companies.
I'm genetically allergic to ads, and have five adblockers running, but you got me curious so I went to the posted story on a different browser, without the blockers, and
MY EYES, MY EYES!!!
There's an oversided banner ad, a floating and moving video, soon a popup ad that blocks the whole page, and more animated ads in the sidebar as you scroll down.
Sigh. I don't object to ads that sit there waiting to be read, but I can't stand the ads that block what you're there to see, ads that follow your mouse, ads that wave and shout and jump around for attention, and my favorite at many TV news sites, the last ad that pops up when you scroll your mouse toward closing the tab.
I don't even believe in hell, but if it exists it's jammed full of people who worked in advertising. :)
I did not see any ads but this might be because of my adblocker :)
But yes, I also read the follow-up from @DougHolland@lemmy.world
