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!

MODERATORS
Yes. I suspect it will be very temporary but I hope I'm wrong.
If Democrats have proven to be anything, it's cave-ins.
I know. :(
What emboldened them? Before they were blocking bills and then caving when it looked like they might actually get concessions. Have we seen ANY blocking that followed through until it got results yet?
What emboldened them?
midterms
Yeah, a while back when they caved on funding the entire government they managed to keep the ICE without any new funding. The entire DHS was shut down for 76 days and then FEMA, Coast Guard, etc had funding return but the ICE still had not.
HOWEVER, GOP still managed to pass new funding 4 days ago with a simple senate majority and House reconciliation. That's the problem with hardlining is instead we get zero concessions and we still get every single bad thing we tried to stop.
The only real way to fix this is the give DNC actual power to change things, which they do not have. They have not even had more than 48 senators in over 13 years, that's why I think things are as bad as they are right now.
The fact that extending 702 is a matter of bipartisan consensus when Trump isn't president is part of the problem tho
Have they asked ~~Their Constituents~~ ISRAEL if this is OK?
Israel's major export is surveillance technology such as those used at the border. They may as well be tightly interwoven with the private prison industry trying to profit off of these detainees.
Pretending to grow a sack as November approaches.
Still, better than playing possum like they've done through both Trump presidencies so far.
Very good news. Insane that mass surveillance traditionally had bipartisan support. Could that be starting to change?
Do more, pussies, MORE!!!
I have been so tired of bitch ass pussy Dems for so long…
It is about fucking time
If democrats can be remembered for being a stumbling block to the onset of fascism, then that’s a success. Sure letting a law with national security implications slip is risky, but so is letting a fascist wield that law against the people.
letting a law with national security implications slip is risky
The risk of passing it is far, far greater. The spy agencies are now corrupted by MAGA.
