For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

From fighting against ACA to defending Trump during impeachment to... this. The machine keeps turning. Remember when AG confirmations required more than party-line votes? When "controversial past" meant something beyond loyalty tests?

Watching the Senate rubber-stamp nominees feels like déjà vu all over again. At least the administrative state's inertia might slow down whatever creative interpretations of executive power come next. Though given her Florida record, expect some interesting takes on federal enforcement priorities.

Wonder how many career DOJ attorneys are updating their LinkedIn profiles right now. Can't blame them—seen this movie before.

Of courser Fetterman voted for her. What a joke of a Democrat.

Yeah, he'll be the new Manchin / Sinema if the Democrats ever get a majority again.

Man if I was a Democratic Senator and didn't want to appear complicit in a coup i probably wouldn't approve their appointments
