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!

What consequences? An angry letter from democrats asking to please stop?
At worst she gets to go home to her millions of dollars, gets a TV deal, and America stays on the exact same course.
Right now Democrats are in the minority. This is effectively demonstration that when they're in power, there will be prosecution
Its funny you think they will do anything if they have power because history says otherwise.
This is a good thing but let's not delude ourselves too much. They are only doing this because Noam is an easy target and functionally not much will change even if she is impeached.
It's all optics. Good optics - it's good policy and good politics imo - but not indicative of a fundamental shift in blatant opposition like we'd like it to be.
Lol. Its almost like you pay no attention to things like the Inflation Reduction Act and then claim that because you didn't pay attention, they did nothing.
Just negging
When they are dragging you and your family out of your house, you can rest easy knowing you have the Inflation Reduction Act.
OMG Republicans did something. Blame Democrats quick!
What did the inflation reduction act do? Like materially how did it makes peoples lives better? Did people get better healthcare? Did the unhomed get housing? Did the starving get food? Did the unemployed get jobs?
What did it DO?
It started creating a ton of jobs in the renewable energy and electric vehicles space to cut the cost of electricity and getting around.
Republicans repealed it once they came to power
Do you see the point I am making at least? I'm not even saying it's bad I'm just saying it's not a meaningful fix for the systemic issues. It's a bandaid on top of a wound that we are hemorrhaging from profusely.
You want huge systemic change, it takes giving Democrats a 75% supermajority like they had to pass rhe New Deal. You dont get it by giving them a situation where picking off a single marginal vote with a bribe can derail legislation
You think the Dems are interested in doing New Deal type politics when they are actively defending ICE? Come on man.
