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!

2 million. Wtf.
Stroked out reading that 🤯
At least he's an expensive whore. Most Senators bitch out on their morals in the high 5 figure / low 6 figure range.
I hope the fat piece of shit has another stroke.
I am so fucking sick of this timeline.
That's what the oligarchs want, brother. Keep fighting, if not for your fellow human, then out of spite for the elites who would see you oppressed underfoot.
Oh I'll keep going out of spite for sure
I've never been more disappointed in a stroke not winning. We all lost that battle except for this fucking turncoat.
I'm not saying correlation = causation but everyone with an addled brain, beit from stroke, dementia, too much red meat, pedophilia or too much corn, all vote Republican.
Could just be a coincidence. More studies needed. Shouldn't be anywhere near a seat of representation of other people, that is for sure.
Congress failing to present a barrier to this illegal war was a dereliction of their duty to the Constitution and by extension the American people.
Even if they agree with this war it needs to be approved by Congress so that the declaration of war and the actions of the government can be debated and held accountable.
