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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

The far-right congresswoman has increasingly broken ranks with the MAGA movement, leading even Donald Trump to wonder ‘What's going on with Marjorie?’

Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at her fellow Republicans for "doing nothing" about rising food and healthcare costs in her latest breach with the Trump administration.

In an interview with the conservative broadcaster Real America's Voice on Tuesday, the Georgia congresswoman warned that letting Joe Biden's Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of the year would "crush" Americans' finances.

Those subsidies are now at the heart of a government shutdown that's lasted 15 days and counting. Senate Democrats are demanding the subsidies be extended as a condition of reopening the government while Republicans are refusing to budge.

Anything to get her face on TV and try to stay relevant.

Please, please let her start a new party and fuck shit up for the GOP in the midterms cause that would be so funny

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but I will always high five someone when they're doing the right thing. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Trust however... trust is earned.

Maybe this is what happens when RFK Jr.'s brain worms leave the brain. My liberal ass is besides myself siding with her lately.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Why would they? They don't care and never have.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

WTF has gotten into her lately? The world is upside down. Nothing makes sense anymore!

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Google Holodomir & get a clue, Marge.

This is the really loud rat that slept in the wall right next to your head and pissed you off every night!

Now the ship is on fire. That loud, annoying rat is loudly abandoning ship. She may act dumb, but she's making some smart decisions (for her own preservation) right now.

The headline gets it wrong. She's not breaking ranks with MAGA. She's beginning to lead it.

She's breaking ranks with Trump.

I mean... she voted for the healthcare subsidies to expire by voting for the Big Bullshit Bill.

I feel like she's just playing the usual games here. She could have not voted for the BBB. The Democrats are simply trying to roll back changes that were made in the BBB.

So, was she just an idiot who didn't read the bill (possible) or just playing the rotating villain (more probable imho).
