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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- 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.

MODERATORS
The legislation failed by a vote of 51-48, with Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, both Alaska Republicans, joining Democrats to support it.
Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if the DNC spends money on ads thanking her for this
Er, no i mean https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/susan-collins-trump-impeachment-vote-b1841021.html
Which you know, but some others may not.
calling on the incumbents up for reelection next year to support a Democratic bill to extend health care subsidies.
Ugh, Democratic party managers are so fucking bad at their jobs, the Republicans are just going to count their votes so their people up for reelection can make a show of supporting this while the rest of them guarantee it still fails
I'm still pissed off at Democrats in the Senate that pulled that very thing to end the shutdown less than a week after big election wins last month. Republicans were starting to crack under pressure and those fuckers conspired to give their leverage up for nothing, but in a way to not expose Schumer and anyone running in 2026.
I'll never be one to argue "both sides" but holy fucking shit was that a letdown. That was a McConnell type play. If they're gonna be sneaky schemers, I wish they'd do it on behalf of the voters and not their donors. At this point, they've got to be aware that, if their negligence destroys the economy and the country enough, that they have much more to lose than we do. I'm much closer to broke than I am to being a millionaire (let alone billionaire), so if my cash becomes toilet paper, I'll power through on spite alone from knowing that their mountain of toilet paper drags them down to our level. But unlike me, they'll be one of a select few with targets on their backs for betraying we the people.
lol shame on me for thinking, even for a heartbeat, they meant an actual healthcare plan
Oh man! Ads on local news sites! That’s surely going to work!
What’s their next step, telegraphs to notable voters?
