- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Be sure to contact these representatives and let them know how disappointed you are.
They could give a fuck. Primary them when it's time.
King is an independent so for sure he doesn't give two shits, but the dems can and should fear for their jobs after this event.
None of them are up for re-election soon, most just started their 6 year term and others are retiring.
They all planned it. These are just the fall guys.
It's why Schumer organized it. By the time they're up for reelection, people will have forgotten.
Durbin isn’t running again.
I've been poking my Fetterman voodoo doll extra lately.
Oh, so you're the reason he had that fall lately! Good.
Who do I tell? Their answering machine? Their poorly paid staffer who has to answer calls?
Maybe I should just go talk to my front door knob, or quietly whisper my complaints into a pillow. It would accomplish the same thing.
Every single congressman has a contact page and a little box to tick requesting a response. You type their name into google followed by contact and you send them an email. I feel like I shouldn't even have to explain this to people, this is really basic shit.
Here, look: Email Jacky Rosen
Do that.
If we all can't be bothered to do that most basic shit as telling them what we want, then we probably deserve this hell, because sure as fuck our enemies are speaking their demands to them.
They all wear such nice suits!
Do these people really represent us?
I don't judge people by what they wear, the last one who couldn't bother to show up in attire was Fetterman and he's a piece of shit.
