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.

Way to gloss over the insanely evil, and massively disrespectful, harmful treatment of all federal civilian workers.
This country does not appreciate the work your average government workers does enough. Because when it's done well, you don't even notice. But your lives are constantly made better by the work that government civilians do.
Enjoy the garbage you deserve.
Turns out having filthy liberals in your force is the only viable way to ensure you have enough folks to run it in the first place. Who knew? (Besides literally everyone)
They're never going to attract the kind of talent or loyalty or qualifications they had previously, these people they're hiring now are going to be festering their corruption and incompetence around for decades. It really is remarkable how much damage Trump has done to the entire US civil service in such a short time. He has drained the swamp alright, by displacing it with toxic waste instead.
You dont need standards when the goal isnt to hire competent people.
They are just looking for sycophant's, as long as you have no idea what the laws say but you can blame "demonrats" for whatever problems conservatives cause, you are exactly what they are looking for.
relaxed requirements for support staff seeking to become agents
They're not sending their best.
They brought the swamp
Fast on its way to the Federal Bureau of Idiots
