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!

Bipartisan action has NO PRECEDENT! Yeah. Bullshit headline.
Not since MAGA took over
It's not literally unprecedented but this is more than voting for a bill. It's supporting a rule change in committee and presumably on the floor. Rule changes are almost always party line votes. Even in a compromise that requires support from the minority party it's viewed as the basic responsibility of the majority party.
To be clear, nearly every substantial bill in the House only arrives on the floor by passing a custom single-bill rule that was referred out of the rules committee.
So these normally-party-line rule changes are a routine occurrence in the House. The weird part is that this one went through on a bipartisan vote.
The minority party rarely helps bring a bill out of rules that it doesn't sponsor.
That used to be called bipartisanship.
Bipartisanship is when a bill is sponsored by both parties. Here, the Republicans wrote a bill and sent it to the floor.
It's the end of the Twitter Caucus. Gaetz and MTG can go pound sand.
