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.

Only reach out to them if you are actually in their state. When they receive a flood of calls from people around the country, it's easy for them to write it off and claim they're just getting brigaded and it's not something their actual constituents disagree with.
Follow the money... I'm betting someone paid them in some form or another.
The money is: Schumer will use the DNC PACs to support their future reelections and prevent them from being primaried later. Sometimes, the money doesn't have to be some dubious outside entity. It's just Scumbag Schumer being his normal weak-willed scumbag self.
Everything I have read said these guys aren't going to run for reelection and are retiring?
thats exactly why schumer chose them, they already know FETTERMAN was going to vote anyways, so they dont have to use another DINO who maybe at risk for being primaried. i think there is at least 10-15 dinos in the senate, schumer included. he probably wants to keep the others safe.
At this point, is it really "in name only" to just cave and give republicans whatever they want? It seems to be the most Democratic Party thing to do.
They don't care, they aren't up for re-election, that's why Schmuck Schumer had them vote Yes, so he could vote No, and try to pretend that he was shocked by this.
He's Senate Majority Leader, he not only knew about it, he was steering it. This is 100% him.
Fire the cowardly bitch.
its the same tactic the gop used, collins and murowski used, not surprising they probably are advised behind the scenes.
Oh, yeah, it's an old trick. Have your lame ducks cast the unpopular votes, so you get what you want, and you can focus your Constituents' anger toward a useless target.
I've already tried yelling down the empty hallway once. Sleazebag Durbin sent me back a nice form letter thanking me for expressing my opinion. It was the most pointless thing ever. I doubt my words were even read by an intern.
Incredibly helpful, thank you.
As a Nevadan, I'm friggin' furious over the sheer spinelessness displayed by these so called "representatives."
