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!

The Trump administration is systematically purging anyone who worked on the investigations into his criminal activities.
If that isn't sufficient to trigger a significant response from the Senate all by itself, then they're rather obviously part of the problem, and likely complicit in Trump's current ongoing efforts to overthrow the US government and repace it with a plutocratic autocracy with himself as supreme ruler.
Imagine you were a hostile foreign power and you wanted to take down your competition once and for all. You might seek out a power-hungry public figure who cared more about themselves than their country, and who could be easily manipulated, blackmailed if necessary (so you'd want someone seedy), and offer them a personal reward if they dismantled their country's government and public institutions and sabotaged its alliances and trade partnerships. If your hostile foreign power was also a socially backwards and racist, you might encourage their own racism and prejudices to punish mostly liberal LGBTQ+ people and kick out or imprison the low-paid immigrants who help the country function. It would be terrible if something like that were to happen in real life and the people were just to allow it.
I've been deliberately avoiding addressing that whole aspect of it, since Trump and Musk are the obvious primary insurrectionists - the day-to-day leaders of this brazen attempt to overthrow the US government and install a plutocratic autocracy in its place.
But yes.
We know that because it out in the open. Under oath admissions of collusion is the best way to get people against these assholes though, and possibly get them in jail when that is convenient again.
