Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Despite a recent ruling in federal court, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has told American Oversight that it still believes it is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The office’s claim means that important public records that could provide information about DOGE’s actions are at risk of being destroyed before the American people can see them.

Most transparent administration ever

I always knew they meant "transparent" as "you can easily see through our bullshit."

No no. They are trans parents. Musk is a trans parent. He's just not good at the parent part.

So the court will send Marshalls to jail Musk and DOGE for not complying, right?

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 days ago

Absolutely, 100% they will.

Oh, wait, you mean the same marshalls that deputized Musk's private security team?

Round up the militias folk, it's tyranny time.

So that they can operate in the dark, with no oversight nor public input.

Don't worry they trust musk to let them know when a conflict of interest arises. Nothing to worry about! /s

LoL Libtards they NEVER said they would be Transparent! If they did that would be a LIE and LIEING is AGAINST the Bible so that would NEVER happen!

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

It's so close. The punctuation just needs a little adjustment.

Totally not regulations…

Can you expand on this? Your sentence feels like buzzword bingo.

If their tech team is as incompetent as reports indicate, it’ll all be publicly available (along with every other government secret) soon enough.
