Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

So much to digest in this article it's unreal (the comment below is AI generated and picks up everything in this weirdly laid out news site):

  • Donald Trump compared his legal troubles to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's imprisonment and death in a Russian penal colony, drawing criticism for minimizing Navalny's plight.
  • Republicans have touted claims by Alexander Smirnov about Biden corruption in Ukraine, but he has now been charged with lying to the FBI and admitted Russian intelligence helped him smear Hunter Biden.
  • A transgender teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten at their Oklahoma school and later died, highlighting the dangers transgender students face, especially after Oklahoma's anti-trans bathroom bill.
  • Yulia Navalnaya, wife of slain Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was temporarily banned from Twitter for unclear reasons after posting a video accusing Putin of killing her husband.
  • Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don't need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
  • Christian nationalist figures like Russell Vought seek to infuse their ideology more deeply into a potential second Trump administration.
  • E. Jean Carroll's lawyer hinted they may sue Donald Trump for a third time if he continues denying the rape and defaming her after being ordered to pay $88 million.
  • Samuel Alito complained that people who oppose homosexuality are unfairly branded as bigots.
  • Donald Trump was reportedly obsessed with punishing Snoop Dogg in his final White House hours over past criticisms.
  • Hunter Biden's lawyers argue the investigation against him included factual errors like mistaking sawdust for cocaine.

Look, you just threw out a lot of stuff and I don't have time to address it all. I just want to say:

Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don't need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.

wat

Anyways - the way this webpage is laid out is weird and the ai picked up multiple stories, but the stories are all there if you bother to continue scrolling
