Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.

That's all the rules!

GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly concerned over signs the 2026 midterm elections could be a wipeout for Republicans that could cost them control of the House and shave down their Senate majority by two or three seats.

There’s growing anxiety in the Senate and House GOP conferences that Trump’s sinking approval rating will create a headwind in swing states and districts.

But GOP lawmakers say they still have time to improve their party’s image before next November.

Democrats better not mess this up and we do mean it this time. Prison for every single traitor, pedofile and seditious oligarch. Musk and Thiel better be first in line. We want their assets frozen and used to repair the damage to our democracy. The Supreme Court better get cleaned up with impeachments. This is their last chance before guillotine second amendment time. Also anyone who takes money from Israel should now be declared an enemy combatant

Is that a joke? Of course they'll fuck it up.

Well then it’s guillotine time I guess.

You still had any hope? lmao

You are cattle to the billionaires, regardless of what color they wear.

Run in the primary for your House of Representative seat to do everything Formfiller said.

The 2026 optimistic projection is House Democrat majority, and Senate Republican majority (but narrower majority than now). And Trump will still be President in 2026.

How are Democrats supposed to imprison (executive branch) or impeach (Senate required for conviction) in 2026?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Just the house is powerful if the Democrats are brave. They can force concessions on bills, continue investigating corrupt bullshit, and impeach judges and cabinet members (Trump himself probably isn't a good idea). A 51-49 Senate looks a lot different when Republicans are facing a post Trump world. Trump can pardon people, but that doesn't prevent removal from office or impeachment trials.

Right! Like 2a people would overthrow a fascist dictator at home with 34 convicted felonies and a treason, like they didn't cave by checks notes caving to a budget impasse right after a bunch won elections this very month.
