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.

Rick Wallace, 77, voted for Trump and supports his cost-cutting agenda, to a point.

“There are government programs that I’d like to see discontinued or cut back, especially those that don’t affect me,” said the retired Scottsbluff firefighter. “But the ones like the Postal Service, yes, we count on them.”

I think the postal inspectors have their hands full at the moment. In my neck of the woods people are robbing mail carriers for their mailbox keys. It's not a great time to work for the USPS, it used to be though

The republicans have been trying to starve USPS for years because they want to privatize it, just like everything else.

Which is perfectly congruent with their ignorant jackassery given that USPS delivers magnitudes more mail than UPS and Fedex and DHL. The private alternatives are vocally upfront that they could never cover the slack, should USPS cease to exist.

Not one Republican ever argues a point in good faith.

Exact same thing in my area. Maybe we are neighbors.
