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!

Scott Wiener files paperwork to run for Nancy Pelosi’s seat in Congress in 2028
(www.nbcbayarea.com)
Yeah... IDK, this guy's eyes aren't great. Plus, waiting for pelosi to retire? Sounds like some "wait your turn" ratfuckery
I feel like this is a reaction to Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City Democratic primary for mayor and an attempt to pull support away from AOC's former Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, who is already announced his run for Pelosi's seat.
Yeah, the establishment is panicking.
Keep calm and stay on message. Scare tactics are starting to get played out - on the blue side, at least.
OMG. Go away. Both of them.
Wikipedia:
As co-chair of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, Wiener has been instrumental in advancing several pieces of legislation aimed at promoting Holocaust education, as well as countering antisemitism and anti-Israel activism, especially on university campuses.[144][145] Wiener and CLJC worked to include "guardrails" in the ethnic studies legislation to "provide clear direction to local school districts and the California Department of Education that anti-Jewish and anti-Israel content cannot be included in the teaching of ethnic studies".[146][147] Through CLJC, Wiener played an important role in securing $80 million from the state budget for various Jewish community priorities for 2024-2025,[148] as well as a similar amount in 2021.[149] Wiener and CLJC have also been criticized by Jewish Voice for Peace for "twist[ing] criticism [of Israel] into antisemitism"[150] and opposing a Gaza cease-fire resolution in Sacramento, while only stating that Israel should "be more surgical" in Gaza.[151] Wiener and other CLJC officials commended California State University Chancellor Mildred García for placing Sonoma State University President Mike Lee on leave after Lee announced support for an academic boycott of Israel in agreement with protesters and Students for Justice in Palestine,[152][153][154] which was seen as aligning with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and which Wiener described as "horrific and wrong".[155][156][157] 😖
