While the media fixate on partisan blame, Russ Vought and a hard-right GOP faction are quietly using the shutdown to sidestep Congress and reshape government.

    Things that the mainstream media missed

    Trump and kegsbreath declaring war on American civilians

    Kegsbreath encouraging and endorsing violent and humiliating war crimes to be committed against American civilians. Particularly disturbing when this was recorded so lower level soldiers know they can get away with it no matter what their commanders say because it’s coming from the White House

    Trump using the shutdown to gut agencies with the project 2025 architect Russ Vought

    The flotilla getting intercepted

    The general strike in Italy Friday

    The pro Palestine protests all over Europe

    American mainstream media is completely compromised

      Just wondering where you found out about all of these things if the “mainstream media” isn’t reporting on them. I read about all of these on the front page for the New York Times online version, which is about as mainstream as it gets. I saw you linked a Reuters article as well- hardly an underground news 'zine lmao.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
