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
Every day, it gets scarier to be a teacher in this country. My state is fairly liberal, but who knows how long before they start book burnings and destroying the trust between my students and me.
Governor would veto if it gets that far.
Copper will certainly veto it but the problem is the GOP has a veto-proof majority in the state legislature, so they can potentially override his veto.
Clarify that minors have no authority to consent to mental health treatment unless they believe themselves to be a danger to themselves or others.
WTF. I'm sure it's aimed at preventing transgender children from transitioning or receiving mental health treatment, but it reads like they want to make it illegal to provide mental health care to any and all children unless the child is suicidal. Meanwhile, we have a crisis in this country involving inadequate mental health care.
I think it does aim to outlaw mental health care to any and all children. Many conservatives don't believe in mental health care and view those that seek it as weak.
That does sound like something weak people would project onto others. I'll give you that much.
Use this to ban the bible and purge jingoism from schools, trump supporters can't think straight, use it against them.
