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!

Fetterman has not yet had his head shoved up his ass and his pockets stuffed by the Washington machine. Nice to see.
Y'all seem to have picked a good one, PA.
Fetterman is the BetterMan.
As the old proverb goes, "Caesar's wife must be above suspicion", and that should be the bar for public institutions, so good on Fetterman. That being said, Republicans demanding any kind of standards from the Democrats is outright hilarious, so McCarthy should throw less stones and start doing what he preaches.
How come Caesars wife gets to take bribes?
Damn, fetterman cleans up pretty good.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
released a statement Saturday calling on Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) to resign following an indictment.
Menendez was indicted Friday on allegations that he and his wife had accepted more than $600,000 in bribes from three New Jersey businessmen on behalf of interests in Egypt.
Fetterman joins a growing list of Democrat Representatives and Speaker Kevin McCarthy asking for Menendez to resign.
Prosecutors allege Menendez and his wife accepted cash, gold bars, home furnishings and a luxury car in return for their help.
They also allege that Menendez pressured New Jersey prosecutors to disrupt the trials of multiple federal and state criminal cases.
Menendez stepped down from his seat as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee late Friday.
The original article contains 241 words, the summary contains 118 words. Saved 51%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Lock menendez up!
