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.

What if something happpens in American soil? This is really dangerous. Do they want a reason for martial law or 9/11 unity? But on what cost?
The Horst Wessel strategy failed, so now they are trying Israel’s 10/7 strategy. Leave the door open, aid the enemy, look the other way, and hope they inflict enough damage and horror to justify any manner of atrocity in response.
The difference is that 9/11 was a surprise, this wouldn't be. This is the result of MAGA incompetence, and if we get attacked as a result, MAGA will take the blame.
At the cost of a few thousand American peasants' lives and one cancelled midterm election. It's a sacrifice Trump's prepared to make.
Nobody is cancelling Midterms, unless some state wants to kiss Trump's ass that much. Abbot needs to be Senator, or he's out of a job, do you think he's going to cancel Texas elections? Do you think California or NY or Illinois is going to cancel their elections just because Trump said so?
The real problem is going to be forcing Trump, Johnson, and the rest of the MAGA government to accept the new Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. They'll flat-out refuse to accept the results of races they don't like.
People need to start to write to representatives about this so they start to make this a big deal, before anything happens.
I hope nothing happens but it’s really scary how they are gutting counter terrorism. Scary stuff
Writing to people is one option, but if the fucked-over of America could coordinate, they could reverse the country’s course in a weekend.
I doubt. Trump makes everything an emergency. Anything people do, will be a reason for emergency declaration and no midterms… just because.
Also I bet they will infiltrate the left and use the same style Gaza BS to convince people to not vote
I’m reasonably confident that’s precisely what their plan is, and they’ll use it as a justification to call off the elections or something similarly insane.
