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!

Emails confirm Social Security Administration canceled Maine contracts as political payback
(www.huffpost.com)
Hey look, a(nother) crime.
Silly rabbit. Crime is for poor people.
When a rich person does it, it's just being smart.
There's a Nintendo character that wouldn't stand for this
It’s being savvy
Hey look kids, there's Big Ben, and there's Parliament.
Dudek had been a mid-level IT staffer at Social Security before being put on administrative leave for helping Elon Musk’s DOGE team access sensitive databases inside the agency. The Trump administration tapped him to lead the agency after more senior officials refused to cooperate with Musk’s team.
The most fanatically loyal to the Dear Leader, the most contemptuous of both the law and the people, are plucked from mediocrity and placed at the top.
This is America now.
This is their meritocracy.
Kakistocracy
This is their idea of DEI.
Petulant child, because the governor cares about all her constituents and not just selected few?
More like taking the public hostage
And then the Sturmtrumper gives a masterclass in petulance and childishness.
Projection... always projection
"You're a child" says the one crying and shitting his diapers
@MicroWave When an insipid cunt takes revenge on a petulant child....then where are we?
Cuntyvengulantness.
To clarify, who is in which role here, because Trump is both of these things, and I don't see that Governor being either.
JFC. Who could have predicted that donvict would be a petulant little dickhead?
