Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

What else can be said that would actually to add to the conversation after this? I can think of nothing. Good day sir.

I think it's important to point out that this vote only failed because they basically pulled a guy out of a hospital bed to vote no

The failure came about because of the surprise appearance in the chamber of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who showed up unexpectedly — having recently had surgery and wearing hospital scrubs and no socks, according to NBC — to vote against the bill.

So not exactly a stunning rebuke of the wackos.

Somewhat ironically Republicans will likely be pulling a different guy out of a hospital bed (Steve Scalise, getting chemo) to counter this one and vote on it again.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

And they're hoping another vote will pass once another rep gets out of his hospital bed. There seems to be a common theme here.

You really did need to bookmark that link.

I know, right?

Republicans had accused Mayorkas of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law,” claiming he violated immigration laws by failing to detain a sufficient number of migrants.

They were sad that he did not lock up enough brown people.

was there some sort of quota in the law?

edit: /s

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope. Apprehensions are also at their highest so it is quite possible that CBP is getting a higher percentage that are coming over the border.

What has the House of Taxpayer Leeches accomplished this term?

[–] pezhore@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago

Well they passed the border bill, securing our borders and providing much needed support for Ukraine all while forcing the Dems to give up nearly everything they stand for.... Oh wait, that deal is basically dead now because it would help Biden.

What a load of fucking morons.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 years ago

We fucked up this one and we’ll fuck up again, promises MTG.

Republicans also accused him of “breach of public trust.”
