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.

The article is misleadingly phrased.
He “tried to fire” her. She’s obeying the law by not leaving, since he had the exact same authority to fire her that my nieces do. And there’s no “arguing” about it. She’s not arguing, she’s just ignoring his invalid order.
More federal employees should do this. Don’t just go along with his random illegal bullshit.
"Thank you Mr. Trump but as of today, your term as President is terminated."
Okay. I fired Trump. I'm just a rando from Canada, but all Trump has to do now is leave for it to work.
Thank you for your service!
This is EXACTLY how you fight fascism. You just refuse to do what they say (even when it's 'legal' what they're asking) and resist. I'm so happy and proud of Ellen Weintraub.
Resist, follow this guide (yes it's dated, you can adapt it I believe in you), refuse to go along with them.
There are two ways to help fascists: Directly, and by passively following their new laws. Don't do either.
Yeah fuck trump. People should just ignore him and Musk like they ignore the law
I’m curious to see how it plays out. Does he sick his corrupt justice system on her now? Forcibly bar her from the building? I mean who will stop him?
The news has to be extremely careful with accuracy, or they can be held liable.
Oh wait. That's just for Nazi salutes and rape. If Trump "fires" President Macron tomorrow, the news can just print "Trump fires President of France".
To bad that he will have security walk her out and remove her. Illegal or not, Congress is jackshit to stop him. It's fucking infuriating.
He can't do that either, but you're right.
Yeah, there's a line being held by fed employees, they aren't moving. Bit cringe of me to refer to reddit, but there's a thread over there, for fed employees and they're talking about how to fight, they're being offered (pressured into) redundancy packages that they aren't allowed to see, until they agree to take them, but they're holding out and not taking them.
