News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They're not evil and old like Trump They're just old and unable to fight a post-truth populist like Trump
They don't understand how important it is to never show capitulation
Do not give them excuses. They were bought out at the very least. They held on this long knowing why, they gave up for probably a monetary reason. Maybe threats, because he's the mob. Threats are the only reason I will accept.
I have seen no evidence for your assertion about monetary compensation.
You're basing your beliefs on tribalistic other-hating, a very post truth thing to do.
Do better. Show evidence.
"Show evidence" is a crap debating technique.
You made this evidence-free assertion in the very same post. Grow up.
You're basing your beliefs on tribalism to justify their actions.
Do better. Show evidence.
They're not confused, they're not cowards, they know what will happen, they are complicit.
If your actions are indistinguishable from evil, you are evil.
There is no way these people don't know how many lives they're going to ruin and end with this vote. There is no way they actually believe they're going to get the ACA tax credits from the political party that let the government shut down over the issue. Functionally evil is the same as evil.
they are capitalists. they are career politicians. they. are. evil. anyone who ever says “the dems and reps are different” is a documented dumbass. this is proof that all parties are effectively right wing.
Of course they're both right wing, but that doesn't make them the same. Angela Merkel and Adolf Hitler were both rightwing chancellors of Germany. It DOES NOT make them the same.
8 crap senators who aren't standing in 2026 capitulated and gave in to the republicans. The rest were standing firm. If there were just a few more dems they could have still stood firm.
If you vote to enable fascism, you are yourself a fascist, regardless of what color arm band you choose to wear.
i’ll have more faith when the 8 change parties
Actually, it turns out 1 is independent and another is already suspended or something.
Anyway, yes, but they can do so much more damage from within, so I think they won't.
