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!

I agree. But I absolutely do not trust the richest man in the world, who was not elected at all, in charge of those funds. Dude already has been using it to funnel money into his own projects. You’ve handed the keys to your safe to a known burglar, and now you’re offering him blowjobs as well.
Don't forget that he is also firing people who were investigating his companies.
This is a dumb take. It's publicly available information
No, I think the dumb thing to do would be to assume that the person who was convicted of 30+ felonies concerning a legal campaign financing is being fully transparent about his intentions and the amount of money he shifted over to the worlds, greatest billionaire(Musk). Also don’t forget that Donald Trump was convicted of a charity scandal and now he can’t run a charity inside the state of New York without court ordered supervision.
Those government reports should be 100% truthful but if you’re willing to believe that they are under Donald Trump, then I have a bridge to sell you .
Just not the uninformed shoddy lie filled way DOGE are.

Every time I read Tom Homan, I think of that cat walking around meme.
I read this as Alexandra Daddario and was really confused.
All she’d need to do to get people to listen to her is stare deeply into their eyes.
She also feels like a scam to me for using x and not having a mastodon account
Yeah why is this politician, who clearly finds it important to communicate her messages as widely and effectively as possible, using a massive social media platform which many American voters and basically all, if not all media organizations regularly use to get their information, instead of using some nobody social media platform that almost nobody cares about?!? The only conclusion is she must be a grifter!!!
Why yes I am incapable of thinking about a single subject for more than 5 seconds, why do you ask?
Why is she not even bothering creating a mastodon account?
She may literally not know it exists.
If you don't know an alternative to X in 2025 you sound like a scam to me
Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen anything of value posted on mastodon or Twitter. The format doesn't seem to create meaningful discussions
Because she could probably yell her political messages out of her window and reach more people?
Scammers goal is also to reach more people. Masodon is free and the best alternative to X, there aren't many excuses not to have an account
Yeah and it's also a politician's goal. Do you actually think everyone who wants to reach a lot of people is a scammer? Like there's no legitimate reason to want to reach as many people as possible? Did your parents drop on your head when you were young?
