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.

- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Getting rid of Jeffries is such a massive priority at this point. Where can pressure be applied?
Call, don't email or write, your local congress person and respectfully state you sorely disappointed in the current leadership's refusal to hold Trump and his Republican enablers to account for his XXX actions. With XXX being specific items like ICE operating outside the bounds of their judicial capacity and murdering civilians or his abuse of power with the Iran war or him pooping his pants on TV.
My representative is a Trumptard and was reelected. 😞
Sorry to hear man. Still when I was represented by a MAGA moron, I did get some enjoyment in being that annoying thorn.
Both. Both need to be gone immediately
I don't think New York has a process to remove elected officials so it would gave to be done in the House and the Senate.
That doesn't mean they can't be removed as soon as possible from leadership and anything else with power. Barely trust them to vote
Here's a script I wrote for you to use calling your rep:

Thanks! I just did this for my guy in WA, Rick Larsen. Tried calling, but VM inbox full so I sent a message cribbed off your spiel. Also sent to a couple buddies in other WA districts.
Nice! I have a feeling they'll need to be reminded closer to January, but I hope we can drill it in early.
From this point onwards, it's the main thing we should be acting towards to change the dynamic within the party.
