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'd heard the "not a thing" but this is the first I'm hearing she's committing to a Republican in her Cabinent...
That's just fucking insane
There are only two cabinet-level positions that don't require Senate approval. One is already occupied by Tim Walz and the other is WH Chief of Staff, which I very much doubt would be the position Harris has in mind.
If no Democrat uses the filibuster to block this, the filibuster has no purpose but to block progressive legislation.
First time?
It'll be Cheney or Kinzinger.
Jesus, I wish it was obvious if you meant Dick or Liz...
But Hillary and Biden have drug the Dem party so far right both Cheney's have endorsed Harris, and I really wouldn't be surprised
She said it at least a few weeks ago. I think it made headlines for like half a day and then Trump said some absolutely crazy shit again so everyone collectively forgot what Harris was doing.
As memory serves, she had been asked in an interview if she would, and she gave a somewhat vaguely-worded answer, that she wouldn't rule it out.
Of course she is, their entire goal since Bill Clinton has to become the dominant party for conservatives.
