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 does "memo" mean in this context, in the sense of it being different from any other random letter from a constituent to a politician? Was it given some sort of preferential treatment? Is it bypassing aides and landing directly in the inboxes of the politicians themselves? Is it being distributed by the party itself? Is it being endorsed by high-ranking party members? Is it being pushed as policy by the party whip?
Never mind the corporate lobbyist who is obviously a lost cause; I want to know exactly who the fucking quislings are within the party so that they can be forcefully ejected.
What happened after it is that Schumer started sending out talking points which are entirely about affordability, with no mention of ICE. Formal standing is nil, but it seems to have gotten through somehow
Okay, so Schumer is a quisling, which we already knew. Who else is participating in his anti-American conspiracy?
I want names not only of elected officials themselves, but also of the party staffers who manage the information/access and are choosing to feed this excrement to them.
I think its more the other way, who isnt? For example only 50 House Dems signed to impeach Noem. Learn their names, and assume the other 75% are in on it.
“I think it would help both sides to appreciate the fact that that’s a human being across from you who may or may not want to do the things they’ve been ordered to do. In my long history being in and out of the Department [of Homeland Security], it is very often what makes the news are the terrible things that happen but what doesn’t get reported are the … stories about agents bringing toys into the border patrol station,” he said.
"We aren't bad guys, sometimes we bring toys to the children we are imprisoning" I couldn't fucking satirize how stupidly evil you dipshits are any better if I tried holy fuck
Prosecute and imprison ICE for their crimes. When they get out of prison, take away their passports and turn them into refugees.
