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!

Lol Mike Johnson done fucked up. Discharge petitions essentially mean your own caucus hates you and can't work with you, so they use the opposition to get around you. There have been like an average of about 1 of these per congress over the last 100 years, now we have two huge ones in just a couple months.
Speaking of:
The DOJ has until Dec. 19, 30 days after Trump signed the bill, to release the files.
But that is the latest; it is possible for them to be released sooner.

DOJ: “yeah, we’re going past December 19th. Whatcha gonna do about it?”
Hell has not frozen over.
I'll accept hell has frozen over when the House, Senate, and Executive sign legislation, WITH TEETH, regarding stock trading.
What will actually happen in this timeline:
bill undergoes revisions, Pelosi is the author... Trump signs it, DNC and MAGA congratulate eachother for bipartisanship.... bill has a rider for politicians to expense trade fees.... your taxes go up to cover it.
This new Radical Left legislation VERY UNFAIR to our Hardworking Members of Congress! They spend day and night advancing our America First agenda and working for the American People! I urge Leader Thune and all other Patriots in the Senate to immediately VOTE DOWN this extreme Proposal! Otherwise, I will be forced to VETO THIS HORRIBLE BILL as President of the United States!
You forgot the "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
He only uses that when he's making proclamations. Otherwise, he usually signs his messages "President DJT".
My God, for once can we not think of the poor fucking congresspeople? They're the REAL oppressed group in this country
Love the awkwardness expressed in the image, good representation of the common disconnect between parties, even in rare instances of cooperation
Those two are in the same party though
Complete with the performative Carhartt over a suit...
