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!

A seat at the table in hell
For the circuses.
No bread tho. You seen the cost of groceries lately?
"Government efficiency" apparently.
Republicans run on a platform of "government doesn't work" and then, when they take office, set out to prove themselves correct.
They don't have to. Say no. Take it to court when they fire you for refusing to carry out duties that blatantly violate the first amendment.
Or do a bad and/or slow job. Don't write very good searches. Do fix a few pages manually and then stop because you think you're done. Ask them to submit an issue first, and then put it in the queue with everything else. Go through a few rounds of reviews. Hold a task meeting and leave without it being clear who should work on it. Make sure all the correct paperwork has been filed. Have the legal department review the order. And then each of your proposed changes. Ask them for clarification on something each time.
The famously slow and bureaucratic US government has been double-timing it and trying to proactively comply rather than letting the system drag all this down. Really any other response would be better than what we've been getting.
I know how to write good regex. Ergo, I know how to write intentionally bad regex.
Hmmm... I'm good at writing regexes that look like they'll work but don't. But there's a website that I can use to make a few adjustments to them and get them working. I suddenly forgot the URL... regex100.com or something like that? Oh well it looks like it'll work, so it's probably good enough...
Wanna help archive what we can before it's gone?
