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.

- 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.

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.

Her?
I believe a Congress women is not being sworn in since she said she would vote to release the files and the speaker of the house is blocking that. Without swearing in she is effectively unable to officially partake in votes.
Aaahhhh democracy.
I think they are referring to the US Speaker of the House refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after she won a special election in Arizona.

I've been holding on to a bunch of those exact stickers for awhile now. Hope I can start slapping them up places soon!
It's been a hot minute since a headline made me say "whoa" out loud
New event for the no kings movement. Along with taking to the streets people who normally cant make it or are to anti social can start calling out the same day.
Can we do the next one on a weekday?
Everyday should a be a part of the no kings movement. Week ends plus week days. Hell we got some holidays coming up. No kings day on halloween is going to be great.
I would rather spend their days than our days
We need to stop paying taxes.
I stopped the day he was elected, opted out and put what would be going to taxes into a VT and VXUS index funds, hopefully to cover me when the time comes to pay.
I realize that's investing in fascist companies enabling this, but I will Shashank Redemption crawl through fascist shit to not fund this administration and cover my own ass.
Best plan I could think of, I'm all ears if someone has a better idea. So far, I'm up.
I stopped paying taxes on the last tax day. My wife and I cheated our asses off on our taxes and I changed my business around to make my money much harder to track. I've also gotten very good at creating charitable donations and keeping records. My wife, unfortunately, works for the state gov, so its a lot harder to hide her money, but we do our best to pay as little as possible through use of charitable donations, depreciation of assets, and a host of other tricks. I doubt she'll spend more than 5k in taxes this year. A huge decrease from what she spent last year. I will be paying nothing because, to the government, I appear unemployed.
If even roughly 30% of US taxpayers did this, it would absolutely cripple the federal government. They would not be able to fund their gestapo, they would be forced to make concessions and the executive administration would lose a ton of power. This is the way to bring down Trump. Not violent revolution -- legitimate looking tax trickery. The IRS doesn't have the staff to deal with it and with them receiving less and less money it would just be a downward spiral of helplessness for them.
The Europeans are way ahead of the Americans in this regard.
All you need to do is shutdown AWS for a few days. All the apps will fail and the corporations will lose all that advertising money.
This is TERRORISM under NSPM-7! If they DONT want to be Considered Terrorists they MUST shoot up a Church in a MAGA hat!
