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!

If the Supreme Court lets it stand. Reminder: executive agencies don’t have deference to independently interpret laws like the Clean Drinking Water Act anymore, so this new rule will stand until someone decides to challenge it, and until a court decides they’d rather continue poisoning future generations instead of allowing the experts to do their jobs, which is something SCOTUS would apparently prefer.
Literally EVERY red state will sue to keep those pipes.
I mean, obviously not all of them, the rich neighborhoods will have their shit fixed quick, but damned if Tennessee will spend good money to fix pipes going to those people.
I assume the rich neighborhoods will have already have had their pipes replaced, in which case it would only be those people who are affected. Not that I have anything to back that suspicion up.
Lead make stupid. Stupid make right votes.
Which is why it's absolutely essential to elect enough Democrats in the Senate to enable court expansion.
From what I understand this election cycle is not favorable to that whatsoever. If I recall correctly we might even lose the Senate :(
The Senate is absolutely a very tough lift; it's going to be really tough for the Democrats to get even 50 seats.
