We all knew this was going to pass.
If you thought otherwise I've got a bag for you to hold.

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!

So people are just going to die right?
We’re going to have old people cut off from their health care, rural areas will have their hospitals closed, and people are going to die.
Why is the world such a sick place?
The world? No, it's the US.
Unfortunately, the gutting of USAID and foreign aid programs is projected to kill millions in the developing world.
And don't forget that RFK Jr. wants to let the new strain of bird flu spread. The world could experience a new pandemic in a few years.
A few years feels optimistic. I’d wager on by the end of this year, at the rate everything is getting defunded.
I think people vastly underestimate the effectiveness of annual mitigation efforts by multiple agencies that have either already been cut or on the chopping block.
Many of these agencies go unnoticed because they work well, but will be immediately obvious once they’re gone.
It'll absolutely influence the rest of the world though :(
That soft power is increasingly disappearing and is unlikely to return to even a shadow of its former self in decades.
Hopefully this means theres more space for European Union to take leadership!

Listen to that one rep who said we're all gonna die!
We just need to accept the lord jesus into our hearts so that the hereafter will be assured! Fuck the present earth, it should go through trials like extreme weather, rampant sickness, wars etc - that's just a sign that the second coming is near!

Because they can't get off unless people are suffering. And the current suffering is getting boring, so they have to raise the stakes.
Nah, it's dumber than that. They don't want suffering to lose money, they want all the suffering and misery in the world to be incredibly profitable.

Conservatives and religion. There's also a strong overlap between the two.

Are you telling me that the US gov. is corrupt? I don't believe it!
I don't know if this one is considered insider trading. The bill was public record and we all knew how he was going to vote. I guess he could have known the result before the official vote, But at the same time anyone can look up party affiliations and vote history.
Nah, just curious coincides. You have seen nothing, citizen. That's an order.
But he has an R next to his name. I thought the Rs were above the law. They can't do "crimes". Crimes are for poors.
No no. Crime is if you vote blue. If you vote Red, and kill a cop or rape a kid.. you get a pardon

Yeah, but it’s not insider trading. Everyone knows they fucked Medicare up.
Doesn't even matter anyways. It's legal for them to insider trade. Stories like this are nothing.

Guys chill, he's not a Democrat so this is legal and no need to assassinate him.
The whole system is broken. I wish I didn’t have to wake up everyday in it.
Wish I would have thought of having enough money to invest in stuff.
This dudes girl friend is a blonde B$&@& for a news station. She makes sure he gets the best coverage possible from the local news organization. It’s a joke how terrible northeast Pennsylvania has turned. A dude I used to work with started a hate group against gay teenagers. All financed by the gun cult church that’s there.

Fuck this dude and his vote and all, but I didn’t need to be in congress to know that’s the GOP had the votes and motivation to fuck over Medicaid.
Bad title. "Caught" implies that someone will be holding him accountable.
Insider trading much.
