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, 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.

The incident took place Aug. 30 while Sinema, I-Ariz., was out of town, according to charging documents. Matthew Ammel, 39, allegedly contacted Sinema and demanded that she post a video to her X account. He told her that if she declined to do so, he would damage a painting every 10 minutes, according to the documents.

Sinema told law enforcement officers that she refused, prompting Ammel to take down about 22 paintings and throw them into the swimming pool, according to a probable cause statement.

The headline had me imagining a way different crime. Like, him drugged up and running through the house with a bat. Not this...art hostage situation?

Earlier this month, a North Carolina judge ruled that the former senator could be sued under the state’s “home-wrecker” law over her relationship with Ammel, who was married at the time of their relationship.

North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow spurned spouses to sue for “alienation of affection” and to seek compensation from a third party responsible for the breakup of their marriage.

Lol.

This is crazy timing. I was struggling so hard last night to remember who did the little curtsy and thumbs down when voting against raising the minimum wage.

Terrible person has an affair with another terrible person, then terrible things happen. Got it.

Isn’t this the guy she had an affair with and his wife is suing her for that?

Thank GOD she Used her Position of Power to ~~HELP her Constituents!~~ Rack up HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Dollars in Art purchases!

Hey now, those art pieces can be appraised and donated later for large tax breaks. Just think of how much more corrupt she'd have to be if she wasn't able to increase her tax efficiency. You should be thanking her.

Rampaging is a cool ass crime like damn if you were in the hoosegow and some guy Hoss or w/e was all “what’r ye in for” and you tell him “rampage” he will probably be like damn and nod that respectful nod reserved only for certain crimes

Still a piece of garbage even though she’s no longer in office.

I love how people just assume I'm a sexual deviant because I'm transgender and constantly over share their sexual secrets with me while people in power are constantly getting caught in actual immoral and nonconsensual acts. I'm still missing necrophilia on the bingo card, i didn't miss that one right?

Nothing to actually help people, corruption on full display, affair with a married man...

This is why people don't trust politicians.
