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!

He's an aipac dem. He's been cosy with lobbyists since he started on the City council. Don't keep your hopes up.
At this stage, he could have his mouth fully surrounding the aipac flag & who cares? Israel is a single issue vote and it's pretty fucking clear that both Dems and Republicans are going this path. The difference being I don't believe the dems want to glass Gaza, turn it into a resort, or start WWIII with Iran, so we'll still call it degrees of difference
We have much MUCH bigger problems at home with a theocratic fascist dictatorship firmly planted in the white house, both houses and the supreme court. They have already rapidly removed all but yes men from military leadership, Homeland, FBI, Justic, CIA, National Security, etc. and dismantled virtually all checks and balances while pivoting into Gestapo tactics at ICE, ignoring the rule of law, and pissed on Posse Comitatus by sending marines into LA. Oh, and they have arrested prominent democrat politicians. We won't even get into the privacy erosion with DOGE, the Billionaire handouts, Tarriff graft with insiders, and general fuckery with our supposed allies (Canada, Greenland, Ukraine, Europe & NATO). The US is well and truly cooked.
But yah.... let's focus on Aipac lobbying while our system of government is fighting for survival.
Yeah, booooo Democrats, I got it.
