Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Lauren Windsor is a documentary filmmaker and executive producer of the grassroots political show The Undercurrent, who posed as a conservative activist at the gala. She used her own name to access the event.

Lmao, incredible event security. I’m pretty sure I’ve been to drag shows with more screening.

Alito being a piece of shit shouldn’t be news to anyone (although it’s always nice to have corroborating evidence of course), what’s shocking to me is that it only costs $500 to get within spitting distance of a SCOTUS judge.

That's like half of the "allure" of the Federalist Society: access to powerful people and financiers

I mean I assume they had like metal detectors and stuff. You probably can't pay $500 to go to a fancy dinner and just shoot a supreme Court justice. Right? Someone would've already done that.

What security? All they cared about is money. Anybody who paid their $500 got access.

Aw, Pope Alito is feeling aggrieved by "media scrutiny"?! How sad.

Why face consequences for behavior someone else noticed?

She was great, but that interviewer was pretty terrible.
