News
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.

Looks like it's scumbag politics.... They want all the credit. They don't want the population associating this with any Democrats whatsoever, they want to make it appear as a GOP bill passed by a fully GOP lead government... It will be passed, but not until next year so they can claim full credit...
You do understand their agenda is to cut services? They will be taking credit for that.
Generally yeah, but even the article pointed out that it was bipartisan and the scumbags caucus was the one that put it on the shelf for now. There was a lot of language about "unfair distributions" so if anything they'll make slight clarifications to that. Social security is kind of a "third rail" of politics, you touch it you die.
Old people and billionaires are the two classes of people you don't mess with in politics, one votes for you the other owns you, but then again now that gen z seems to be brainwashed by Reich wing disinformation podcasts and tictoks maybe Republicans will ditch their fear of old people revolting against them.
I feel like at this point the Republicans don't have to worry about their policies being popular anymore. Their voters are stuck in an information bubble where anything they don't like is scapegoated on someone else.
Sounds like that's the Dems fault
This is an intentional joke, right?
Yes, yes it is.
they want to change the bill so it that it gets funded by a tax cut for the wealthy.
