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!

Mike's district is Rockland and Putnam counties, technically "upstate" by my definition (as most of it is north of the Tappan Zee) but still very much influenced by NYC. He managed to hold on to this district by a few percentage points even while it just barely went for Harris in the last Presidential Election.
He knows he has a problem whatever he does; there aren't enough MAGAs there to justify going full MAGA yet if he pulls toward the center, he knows there are an army of J6ers and others out there who are armed, know his home address, and know this President has their back. He also knows that every single DNC list to take back the House has this seat near the top of vulnerable seats.
So it's good to see at least one Republican talk about LBGTQ+ as if they are people and not monsters. Let's see if his votes match his talk.
The cruelty is the point.
What a pro-life thing to do.
This is your party, dude. Cruelty is the point. If you are waking up to that just now, you may want to GTFO now.
I'm a Log Cabin Republican and I'm OK with this because GAY KIDS THAT WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES should pick up Their Bootstraps and Get To Work! And if a Couple Die WHO CARES they're GAY! And to Reiterate I'm a LOG CABIN REPUBLICAN!
Republican policy is all about killing anyone who isn't young, fit, and productive. And it's working.
That's called Eugenics.
Starting next month, bootstraps will be dispensed to distressed youth so they can practice pulling on them.
Thank you.
