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!

We all would. This border deal was a gift to Republicans. It contains no actual long-term reform that will improve the situations. It's a bad deal I'm happy enough to see fail, though it is very unfortunate that the Ukraine aid is getting trashed with it -- because the future where Russia is continued to allowed to conquer westward is a dark one indeed.
And they still rejected it. The GOP were offered a no-brainer gift and they turned it down. Because scoring political points mattered more to them than getting what they want.
For most on the left, this story is kind of a wash. No Israel or bad border policy, but also no Ukraine. But it is a great allegory for how broken conservative politics are. There's increasingly no point negotiating them because nothing will satisfy their hunger other than authoritarian rule.
Yeah, it's super frustrating that we can't get Ukraine the aide they need, because yes, screw Russia and every other country that thinks they can just conquer and plunder like it's the 19th century or earlier again
110% agreed, now somebody find a way to get this message across to the heartless bastards running the Democratic party right now who think it's ok to play chicken with migrants and asylum seekers to score some cheap political points
