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!

Either Schumer didn't want it, in which case he's lost control of the caucus and should no longer be minority leader
Or he privately did, but publicly denounced it, meaning the same as above.
Either way, it's ultimately his responsibility that this happened.
But surely it's just a total coincidence that every non Republican who voted yes is not up for reelection in 2026, right? /s
I'm in VA. Tim Kaine voted yes. I've messaged him demanding an explanation and that coward fuckface piece of shit still hasn't responded. I contacted my other Senator, Mark Warner, and asked him to publicly denounce Kaine's vote or else I would be supporting a primary opponent. He gave a bullshit response about supporting federal workers. So I'll be looking for somebody with a fucking spine to replace his bitch-ass. I'm sick of these fucking losers selling us out to fascists. They're gonna push us all too far, and the most desperate people will do unthinkable things, and they'll wonder how it all got to be so chaotic and unstable and bloody.
And they wonder why Luigi was so popular.
Dick Durbin gave me a bullshit reply.
Fuck him.
