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.

Where's Pam Bondi asking for the Death Penalty?
Don’t you mean Todd Blanche?
Bondi is probably vacationing in a pile of corruption cash right now.
Still can't get over the fact that the acting attorney general AND the Deputy Attorney general AND the Librarian of Congress is just one sleazy personal lawyer named Todd 🤦🏻
Minnesota doesn't have a death penalty. Unless he's brought up under the right federal charges we'll be paying for this piece of excrement to rot in prison.
Due to the mandatory appeals, additional court time, and increased cost of death row incarceration during the trial, life in prison is usually less expensive for the tax payer than the death penalty.
I know, still I hate we're wasting money on them.
As someone who's anti death penalty for any case, I'd prefer we waste money on incarcerating people if we must, rather than risk killing the wrong person. People have made entire careers out of justifying why an (usually) innocent person has to die, using a lot of junk science (bite mark, hair, thread analysis, a lot of CSI stuff is absolute bullshit or at least no better than 50/50).
There's only a niche case I'd be for it, someone like a Timothy McVeigh. Now if we have rehabilitation instead of punishment prisons.
