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!

Nothing to loose but our chains
Make sure theirs are tight.
We can use them to affix them to the boulders
Why would they give power and responsibility to the square shaped fack? Isn’t D.O.G.E. basically a pr firm? An advisory office with multiple teams to keep Elon and Vivek busy specifically so that they won’t do anything?
Just so everyone knows because the article headline makes it seem like it's a large amount of the GOP House Caucus, the 2 people who put forward this idea initially were GOP Senators and then MTG jumped on board of course. But Senators have no say in who becomes speaker of the house so this all seems rather pointless unless a large amount of GOP House members come out in favor of the idea.
You can't be speaker and president at the same time.
For now
The administration isn't even in and I'm exhausted already. 2025 might be the year I actually lose my sanity.
Consider how culturally good where the depressive Reagan and Thatcher years. Convert all that angst into art.
They are doing this on purpose to exhaust, and when we are exhausted they can get what they want.
Pick your battles, don't stress over things in advance that you can't control.
Can't lose it if you don't look for it!
Edit: find a good outlet for fun that you consider normal. Don't let it go and keep it your normal.
I hate Elon Musk but I love watching him eat shit sandwiches while insisting they’re delicious.
He wouldn’t last more than a week because the zookeeper gets the blame not the spotlight.
