  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices "immediately."

In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.

Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.

He actually does seem to care, a lot. It's why he always says fake news, if he didn't care about being called a liar, he'd ignroe it entirely. Losing control of the narrative drives him absolutely insane, it's why the whole "weird" thing got him so unhinged.

God I wish Hillary hadn't talking Harris into abandoning that strategy

Hillary's campaign advisors who Harris was more than happy enough to bring on. These are people like:

  • Her brother-in-law West, the CLO of Uber who told Harris to stop attacking big business.
  • Plouffe the senior vice president of Uber and advisor to Zuckerberg and Clinton
  • O'Malley Dillon, who was, (oh hey look at that) an advisor for, Gates, Zuckerberg, Lyft, & GE, and was the first non family member of Biden to serve in his campaign as well as Clinton's
  • Richmond who had to resign from his position in 2021 after it was found out he was the top receiver of bribes from the oil industry in the DNC
  • Jeffrey Katzenberg, who apparently is known as the kingmaker of of the DNC for how much money he throws in which... What the fuck are you doing Katz, go back to making Quibi a thing.

It's all of them and it's purposeful. They apparently wrote 129 page documentals weekly about how Harris had already won while these advisors take pay in fractions of millions of dollars.
They pay themselves to talk to themselves to pat themselves on the back for having done nothing to change anything.

Wouldn't common sense tell you not to bring on people who already lost against Trump?

If they had common sense, they'd win more elections against the orange man who has no sense at all.
