Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is the Democrats' fundraising arm specifically for Senate races. It has been an entity for more than 100 years.
It's not "what Schumer and the neoliberals still control after losing the DNC." I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
It's important because it's one of the major three national Democratic Party committees that collect and spend funds on federal-level elections. (Republicans have parallel committees, too.)
Withholding funds from a specific Senate race is a pretty serious step for the party to take.
I meant they are two distinct organizations:
DNC
DSCC
And that since the neoliberals lost the DNC, they keep acting like the DSCC is important.
If you had been asking questions instead of making false statements and waiting for someone to correct you, I'd have linked some resources for how much the DSCC normally pays, and how much the DNC has been paying since the neoliberals got the boot.
Now I'm never going to see any of your comments again instead.
