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!

This is legit the best political news this week by a wide margin. It’s still gonna fucking suck but at least we won’t have to worry about fucking polio on top of it
Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.
It's not much, but it's a small win for us.
Good work Kentucky! I don’t get to say this enough but I’m proud of you.
Let's see if that even matters. Red States have a history of ignoring votes like that.
See: Ohio basically trying everything it could to avoid enacting legal marijuana.
I wish Texas could’ve done the same, but Governor Hot Wheels is bound a determined to take us all back to the 20’s.
Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling...so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about "too much government" in their lives because they were getting money...
Yup, Missouri voted to allow abortion again. It isn't much either, another small win. That was completely negated when they overwhelmingly voted for the man that will ban it nationally.
I was considering starting an Iron Lung manufacturing company
Damn, and there goes my FDR crutches monogramming Etsy along with it
Since we are going back to the 1800s I was going to start my business of radium water "medical tonics", mercury medicine and x-ray show sizing machines
It's definitely a big relief. Here I was expecting the US to throw out a century of medical advancements and halt all vaccine research, which is not only very bad for the US, but leaves a lot of other countries in the lurch (fortunately at least for Australia, our first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant should be online next year).
Thank you, I hope you're right.
