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!

Summary

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 35-year-old veteran lawmaker, spoke to NPR about her party’s path forward.

She predicts Republicans will face backlash over Medicaid cuts and federal worker firings.

Despite some Democrats suggesting a new immigration approach post-election, she maintains support for a path to citizenship and recently held a know-your-rights seminar that drew threats of investigation from Trump's border czar Tom Homan.

AOC told NPR "everything feels increasingly like a scam" for ordinary Americans while government serves the wealthy well.

Unlike Trump, she opposes drastically cutting government agencies but questions programs like Medicare Advantage.

I just bought car insurance. Switched from USAA to Progressive and saved a shitload. USAA hasn't been a good deal for a while now.

THAT SAID - Progressive is always trying to get me to turn on "accident detection" on my phone. Fuck that, I know exactly what they do with that data, it's not happening.

I have to deal with progressive all the time. They are total shit. A step above the general.

They're all shit. I used to manage a body shop.

Really? USAA is still the best even when I shop around and they actually gave me money back last year.

I've had USAA for over a decade. I never looked at other quotes because I knew USAA had the best coverage. Until my premium kept increasing despite a flawless history. I searched around, progressive had the best quote. I now have better coverage than before (I matched everything first, then increased as I saw fit) and pay significantly less.

Interesting. I'll take another look this year. USAA actually subcontracts progressive for motorcycle insurance so I also have progressive.

That was another reason I went with progressive, my motorcycle is covered under them.
