Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

It's amazing to me that this isn't bigger news. It's all over Lemmy, of course, but nowhere else. Here's a guy who was intimately involved with Giuliani's schemes, not only admitting it was all orchestrated by Russia, but pointing out the politicians who were in on it (one of whom was right there, on that committee).
It seems to me that in any other timeline, this would put that Congressman in hot water. But in ours, it was just Wednesday.
I agree with you.
I'm not given to conspiracy theories, but the way the media is covering this whole election has me shaking my head. For a while there, it seemed like even the left leaning media was barely covering positive Biden stuff and they were all promoting anything claiming Trump is in the lead, even when the source was questionable. Then it seemed to swing the other way, around the time of the SotU address. And now we have this, that should really be big news, and it's like a foot note.
I just don't get it - it feels like we're being manipulated, but why?
Name the members of congress, it was Ron Johnson and Pete sessions who were called out by lev Parnas as taking orders from the Kremlin and are traitors to the united states
