Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. 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. Keep on-topic
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, 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.

Every single person who has been angry, upset, scared, and frustrated with the past two years needs to be up their representative’s ass TOMORROW to tell them to put these fucking fascists in prison and burn anyone who stood with them. We cannot let the Democrats try to have things go back to the status quo.
The GOP and big business has proven they will fucking grind us to dust if it means they can make more money. Every single sack of shit lining up behind Trump’s fascist regime needs to be held accountable. Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, Markwayne Mullin, and Pete Hegseth need to be in fucking prison. Kash Patel needs to be in front of a committee every fucking day for his bullshit.
Elon Musk’s companies need to be nationalized or stripped of all their govt contracts. That motherfucker needs to be deported. Meta, Google, and Amazon need to be regulated.
Tomorrow? They aren't sworn in until next year. Like unless they are an incumbent they wouldn't have staff to answer a call or even an email address set up.
I’m generally addressing those with incumbent Dem representatives who have sat on their hands the past two years.
Some of the new incoming reps might have contact forms on their campaign sites.
My point is there needs to be continuous pressure and not complacency from the public.
as corkyskog said they take office in january. expect a shenanigans in the lame duck congress.
