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.

This is a gorgeous metric and I came here to upvote your comment. Please accept my upvote. Thank you.
I just love that "Truss" is the accepted metric conversion of "Mooch" lol.
It's natural, too. No questions needed, it fits perfectly.
Genius. Love it.
Pete Hegseth is the problem.
The whole administration is the problem
Don't call it an 'administration', that normalises the situation. There's a regime that installed itself via a coup, disguised as a 'normal' presidential election that was 'won'.
Basically seems like Waltz is the designated fall guy to preserve Hegseth, most likely because Hegseth has a jawline and more pomade.
This! Also, I suspect that Mike was the insider leaking shit to the press about the regime actions and closed-door meetings. The journalist on the Signal chat looked like incompetence, but I think it was Mike trying to shed light on their clear Records Act violations by using Signal for official communications. Then the press happens to photograph his use of a third-party Signal app that allows archiving, something Signal doesn't natively have.
If we stop seeing these big meeting leaks, such as the scuffles between Rubio and Musk, and big scandal topics, then we'll have it possible answer.
I'm more shocked that it was only about a month ago. Feels like it happened months ago.
Wow can this dumpster fire get any worse?!? (I know the answer but holy fuck). Anyone on the right party spectrum, it’s time to reconfigure your party because this is bad. Maybe we should bring back proper education? Maybe increase the department of education so we have people with common sense and smarts to do the bare minimum in their position? Same goes for the left as well, don’t get me wrong. All these officials don’t understand what is needed for the people.
Is this the guy who was throwing hissy fits when Musk was making management decisions without keeping him in the loop? I figured that would make him a target for expulsion from the regime.
