Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Muskrat wants more HB1 visas. Conservative Twitter accounts said no. Muskrat retaliates. (slrpnk.net)

I’m not that old (I’m not that young either) but I can’t remember a time when a party controlled both the executive and legislative branches and didn’t descend into incompetent infighting.

I thought this time would be different but this gives me hope.

Yeah, the way they kept this coalition together was by telling the business community that their more extreme stuff on abortion and immigration was just stuff they told the rubes to get their votes. Now they're in a position that both constituents expect them to deliver, and there's a lot of conflict there. Draining the swamp is the opposite of creating an entirely new agency that's all swamp, and while the business community pretends they want more border enforcement, a lot of immigration policies are explicitly designed to create an entire class of workers that's perpetually in a precarious position so they can undermine unionisation efforts (H1B1 visas being a perfect example of that).

Obama's first two years were OK, though he kind of dropped the ball by not passing more shit.
