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!

MODERATORS
Not that they won't largely follow him, but they are not in lockstep clearly and he needs everyone to agree. He's going to be working with a 3 seat majority in the house with it being temporarily a one seat majority for a couple of months based on the people they are planning to pull
If he can lose 38 here after he publicly backed a bill, he can lose 3 on other bills
Until January.
When they have even fewer seats. They actually lost a house seat this last election. They'll have just three seat majority - and a one seat majority for some of it too because they plan to pull people from the house
Trump also threatened to primary anyone who voted for a bill without raising the debt ceiling. 170 republicans voted for a funding bill without a debt ceiling increase. He's managed to weaken his future threats because he doesn't seem likely to primary that many
On the senate side, he's already had to pull Gatez because they didn't have the senate votes for it. They're not in lockstep about everything
Don't get me wrong, they'll probably still get plenty of terrible stuff through, but they are not all in agreement about everything and there are still plenty of winnable fights here. They had larger house majorities after 2016
