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!

“I am not going to destroy democracy by allowing female members to vote when recovering from birth,” said GOP Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida.

I was very confused by this quote, because I thought Luna was one of the authors of the proxy bill. But she is saying "Allowing proxy voting won't destroy democracy", she is still strongly in favor of the bill.

It's noteworthy because they are trying to use a discharge petition to get around Speaker Johnson, who refuses to bring it to the floor to a vote because he says it's unconstitutional. I bet if it makes it to the floor, it will pass. (And if they can demonstrate that a discharge petition will be successful, then there may be more in the future).

If this is denied, the next pregnant member should just give birth right on the House floor, and see what they think of that.

STUPID LIBURLS! Pro Family means Pro as MANY families as Possible! We need to MANDATE THREE WIVES MINIMUM for every Man 18 and Older! And they need to PUMP OUT BABIES like a Cow! THATS what Pro Family is ALL about! It's NOTHING about the Sanctity of Marriage of Protecting Children or Preparing Kids for Success!
