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.

Friendly reminder that James Comey and Christopher Wray could have done this at any time and choose not to.
If Democrats do manage to take back a Congressional Majority and pick up a few gubernatorial seats in 2027, they'll once again be empowered by the engines of the state to retaliate against Republican criminality and malfeasance.
And will then most likely proceed not doing that. The current dems are a punch of wimps who bow to the corporate interests, just like the republicans.
If they take back anything, they’ll do exactly what they’ve done for the past 50 years of right wing power creep: wring their hands and talk about taking the high road and healing as a nation.
We need a party that actually has the will to uphold laws. Impeach a president. Impeach congresspeople. Hold fucking trials. Throw fuckers in jail that belong in jail. We have a Supreme Court justice that has flagrantly taken bribes and refuses to recuse himself. Throw him in jail and say he can legislate from a steel toilet now. Just goddamn do anything.
If there were a To The Hilt Accountability Party, I'd vote for it.
Lol like they did in the four years between Trump's two terms? Or how about 2005-2017 after Bush and Cheney committed war crimes?
He said they'd be empowered. He never said they would do anything with that power.
Unchecked power is dangerous.
Would be cool if we had an opposition party interested in checking it
You are delusional if you think Democrats are taking power. The GOP isn't going anywhere. Fascism is there to stay.
Dems have been steamrolling races all over the country since 2025. The GOP is deeply unpopular and never had great margins to begin with.
They'll certainly lose the House this cycle. They've got a good chance of losing the Senate.
But if the swing vote in these Dem Majorities is John Fetterman, it won't matter
