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 name is an oxymoron. They’re the most bullshit of them all.
Dear Governor Whitmer and other members of the Michigan Democratic Party,
Do you see what all that recent Trump ass kissing has gotten you? Now smarten up, grow a spine, and fight back!
Whitmer kissed ass? When?
Obviously I'm being a little hyperbolic. She didn't literally kiss his ass. But she was photographed in the oval office while he signed a bunch of his stupid executive orders. And more recently greeted him off the airplane with a hug before joining him at one of his rallies. Article here.
That was not a fucking hug by anyone but a clickbait-title-writer’s definition. That was Trump doing his fucking shake your hand and pull you at him bullshit.
The main thrust of the administration’s argument is that the federal government should determine national energy policy, not individual states. Legal experts said it was highly unusual to sue to block other lawsuits that have yet to be filed.
But muh states rights!
When the federal government is taken over by the oil lobbies paid stooge, states have to take things into their own hands.
Okay then, Why does Texas get to have their own grid? Sounds like bullllllllshit.
get to
Wasn’t it in the news a lot due to its failures? Or am I misremembering?
An "unusual move"? Nice phrasing there, NYT.
I wonder if history will call it an "unusual move".
