Not sure how it’s legal to bar a congressmember from most government buildings. Perhaps they should bring an armed military person or two with them the next time they come for a visit.

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!

I really want to see a lot more ''oh yeah? Prove it.'' On these clearly bullshit moves.
That's my thing, at this point they don't need lawyers, they need a fucking gun.
Sensitive student data. They now have our financial and student data.
Congratulations, musk can now ensure that you are poorer AND stupider
Seems like a lot of Americans are really slow on the uptake.
All I'm saying is that if they're already at the point of whining about it right now, they are going to be completely and totally unprepared when it actually becomes a full-on authoritarian regime.
The only thing that bullies understand is raw power. If they don't flex their raw power, it will be taken away from them.
They are the people literally appointed by us to do this. They need to get going.
Was thinking this this morning. They don't need to stand around and whine with 40 congress people in front of the DOE, they need to call up David Hogg (new DNC vice chair btw) and get 40,000 of his closest friends to show up and raise a goddamn ruckus.
If they had spines, they would understand that the best way to prevent this kind of shit from happening is to stand up in full force and make it painful and uncomfortable for the bullies to continue while broadcasting all of their actions on every news platform and media station that they can get a hold of.
I want them to have spines. This is an exhortation for their spinal columns to stiffen up.
Democratic politicians need to fucking stand up and start kicking ass and getting violent, if need be, in order to protect America.
The ones that don't need to get axed and replaced by younger blood that wants to prove itself.
So when do they start fighting back? Now or when Trump calls in the Firing Squads?
