Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

A pretty extensive article about what’s happening at the national labor relations board. The DOGE team came in, granted themselves access to all the files, turned off logs, copied several gigs of private data on who knows what, then left without telling anyone.

They have no official reason for this data and it breaks dozens of privacy laws. It’s sensitive enough to chill every security professional interviewed.

Oh and it’s all about getting this data into a centralized depot run by palantir Peter thiel

The whistleblower’s disclosure was accompanied by a cover letter from his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of Whistleblower Aid, which said that, after he raised concerns internally about DOGE’s inroads into the agency, he received a physically taped threat on his door containing personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog. They also attempted to intimidate him.

Fascist dictatorship, doing fascist dictatorship things, because it's a fascist dictatorship.

Let me know when the American people actually do something instead of rolling over and getting cucked 24/7.

Why buy or collect personal data on Americans when they will just let you take it for free? Republicans are having their fire sale so they can speed run Project 2025.

Not to.mention, 15mins after the ghost accounts were created to steal the data. A Russian IP address was trying to log into the service using the newly created credentials. It was stopped only because the system doesn't allow logins outside of the USA.

So, it's become obvious we have Russian assets in the White House now? What do we do about it?
