This MAGA administration is going to be viewed by history like the Burning of the Library at Alexandria. How much institutional knowledge are we losing with these monsters?

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.

As much as Russia can pay for.
So, basically everything?
Politicians can be bought out for embarrassingly low sums.
As much as the D'bags will allow. Which is the same as "Russia".
Nah, it'll be viewed more like this:
And all those Democrats who let it happen!
Right wings politics is destructive like a wild fire and the only things remaining will be the institutions which are resistant to the destructive attitudes, like Education (as burned as it is it cannot die) or HHS. They will be used by evil people who will eventually stop using them.
It's the doomers who say "shit will all be dead in a few years" or "we can't vote again" without any actual evidence except gut feelings. I have to remind my friends that even the most perfect forests see fires and what remains is where the forest has to start rebuilding.
We'll get nice things back someday. Probably after declaring the Heritage Foundation a terrorist organization and arresting all those connected.
Almost 20 years ago this same thing happened in Canada under Stephen Harper's tenure.
Despite the name, conservatism is one of the most destructive things that can happen to a country.
Conservatives hate learning and education because they're in favor of slavery for the masses. No one who reads history is surprised: news at 11.
