The top-level post uses a gift link with a cap on how many times it can be used. If it runs out, an archived copy is available

I’ll note that as a newspaper for the owning class, their hard-news section is much more willing to plainly describe the coup against congress & constitution that’s going on than other outlets.

Edit: Indivisible is calling for people to make in-person visits to their congressmembers local offices

    No, they’ll just close their offices to people without approved appointments.

    I know because one of mine is Scott Perry, who did exactly that.

      Some will do stuff like that, and ask cops to clear the crowd too. But we don’t need every Republican to do the right thing. Just enough that they can vote with the Democrats.

        Scott Perry, and probably also Fetterman, will never vote with the Democrats.

          Do you think Fetterman was a phony from the start or is his current positions and behavior a result of the stroke?

            I think it was the stroke and I’m concerned for Gisele’s safety.

              It is wild how much literal brain damage is on the right. For instance, isn’t Sorbo’s story that he had some fucking illness and came out an asshole on the other side?

        they can vote with the Democrats.

        Didn’t the democrats have a majority a few years ago, what did they do with that and why do you think they will do anything different this time?

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!
