Statement of Purpose

Post the latest news from reputable mainstream news websites and blogs. Important news of national interest only. No analysis or opinion pieces. No duplicates. News stories must have been published within the last 12 hours. Use the published title of the story as the title of the discussion thread.

Because the 45 administration IS in place after an election that Democrats lost, and that administration is filled with nothing but criminal propagandists and liars, any reporting will unfortunately include their propaganda and lies. But completely eliminating any reporting about them as some have suggested, is nonsense, and puts the site in a fantasy bubble.
