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.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah. I do not trust any .gov sites since they took over. Not just propaganda but I wouldn’t trust it be accurate if they were trying.
You know, this is an interesting point. I was a little frustrated to learn that .gov websites block VPNs (of they can detect them). But perhaps, practically, this is now more of an ad block feature rather than a bug.
They block VPNs. That doesn’t make sense. Why are they doing that?
I didn't look into the "why" but I know there are blog or forum posts explaining it, I just didn't bother reading them
Federal .gov.
I run a .gov site for a municipality, and I promise my postings are nice, boring shit like meeting agendas, permit forms, and burn ban notices.
Boring government is good government.
Probably varies wildly by location. I can imagine local government employees in deep red areas being emboldened by the blatant AI-slop propaganda on the federal sites
You can be good and interesting, like this sewer district
Boring government is middling government. Both good and bad government is exciting, though in completely different ways.
The social contract is unraveling and the ruling class will only have itself to blame when the guillotines come out.
If they cared about the future of their kids, they would relinquish their wealth.
0% chance my kids are going to suffer so the Musks and Bezos' can live like gods.
Guillotines huh?
