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!

Unfortunately we've lumped a bunch of agencies under DHS, notably FEMA, but also some other things like cybersecurity, customs, and WMD mitigation agencies. So, while I would love for ICE, and a bunch of other fascist-ass agencies to be deleted, thia particular route to doing that also shuts down some agencies that are undeniably important.
Democrats voted against the Homeland Security appropriations bill because it includes funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), two agencies they say need reforms after immigration agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis.
Fuckin assholes. They don't need reform. They need to be abolished
I hope John Fatterman gets primaried into oblivion.
Let's not hope. Let's do actionable things to make it happen. You've got roughly a year and a half to support potential new candidates as well as the grassroots organizations that help inspire and support upcoming candidates. Hoping will not do a damn bit of good.
I’d be willing to bet he’s a pedofile who is being blackmailed by Israel
Try to keep this in mind: If Fetterman had lost, Dr Oz would be in the Senate.
But yeah, primary the shit out of him.
When is he up again?

A semblance of vertebrae? Wow.
A concept of a spine. Last year they held the line right up until it might have made a difference, remember.
What? Democrats doing their jobs? They must be worried about the voters.
Good, turn up the heat on BOTH sides. It's not about Dems or MAGAs, it's about US!
"Democrats just want ICE to behave like any police department in America"
If democrats now want other police departments to curse to exist that would be great...alas democrats are never as cool as republicans say they are.
