Kim Reynolds of Iowa proved this. She undermined child labor laws in the hope of getting the VP pick.

Feel free to call names, but calling us Nazis breaks a rule. Don't attack people. Attack ideas.
Please edit before I'm forced to remove.
Also, if you hate us, why do you post here? Not asking you to leave, just honestly wondering.
Mods are humans, and we aren't extremists. We just try to keep the place civil. I'm used to getting shat on, but not all mods are as thick skinned. Maybe try not being an asshole?

I'm 100% sure they are. I won't accuse them, though, because then they will report me.

You said denounce. I gave you a literal definition from a dictionary.
I'm still not talking about Jordan. I'm still talking about how you called ME a Zionist.
No what about ism. Stop evading.

I’ll answer your question if you denounce Harris for spreading dehumanizing israeli propaganda.
Denounce:
To condemn openly as being wrong or reprehensible.
People who denounce someone is are not going to vote for them. By saying that, you were telling people how to vote.
Now, back on topic. You call all mods (me included) Zionist. Did you find any evidence, or are you arguing in bad faith and being uncivil and insincere? You LOVE switching topics when someone calls you out. Answer the question, please.

Ah. Yeah. I see how you're spinning this. You were telling people how to vote, in order for you to answer their questions. Civility was the actual reason., but you're welcome to lie.

Why are you switching topics? I was talking about your attitude to me, and you trying to tell ME what I believe. Jordan isn't a mod in news, and he's not me. Please - I implore you to find a comment I've said against Palestine. I'll wait.
Is this a case of you can't fight the argument, so you do "whataboutism"?

The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view. It will take a few hours, but FOR NOW there won't be a bot giving reviews of the source. The goal was simple: make it easier to show biased sources. This was to give you and the mods a better view of what we were looking at. The mod team is in agreement: one source of truth isn't enough. We are working on a tool to give a composite score, from multiple sources, all open source.
Hey. This community is dead. Let's revive it! What do YOU want to see here? I can't be the only poster, or this will stay dead.
Hey. I noticed that the only moderator for this community was banned a year ago, so I requested to take over. I'm still working on the rules, the banner, and stuff, but one thing - going forward - I know will be a rule: * No drama you are a part of. If you're in the thread, don't post it here. Also, as with all moderators, I'm always looking for people to help out. If you're interested, let me know!
Connect for Lemmy is my daily driver, but there aren't mod tools built in. For most of my moderation, it's either Alexandrite or REST calls. Are there any native apps with good mod tools?
Started as a shower thought (literally in the shower), but decided to make it more open-ended. My answer to this would be "watch future seasons of anime that I am waiting on". I don't see how that could cause a huge ripple through time.
### WHAT * Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was shot at a rally in PA. --- ### TRUMPS STATEMENT >“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” ### WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW SO FAR * gunman is dead * Trump "is fine" * one attendee is dead * another attendee is in critical condition --- ### News Sources * CNN - [Trump rushed off stage after shooting at Pennsylvania rally](https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/election-biden-trump-07-13-24/index.html) * AP News - [Live updates: Shooting at Trump rally is being investigated as assassination attempt, AP sources say](https://apnews.com/live/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-13-2024) * The Hill - [George W.

Hello fellow Lemmys. The mod team here at !news@lemmy.world has been in discussions about the best approach to ensure we stay unbiased with news during the U.S. Election Cycle. While we can't say "don't point out flaws in candidates" - nor would we want to - we do believe that when you excessively post/comment/reply negative things in News about one person, instead of, say mixing it up about topics, this feels like you are using !news@lemmy.world as a propaganda machine. While propaganda is a normal part of elections, by posting only one topic, about one person, you are abusing the NEWS community for politics, and this could even be seen as election interference. There are other communities that this would fit better. Doing this will result in posts/comments being deleted (with the option to appeal, of course). Repeat offenders may see temporary bans. Keep doing after that, and you may reach our perma-ban list. As of right now, this only apples to politics. We don't plan to extend this to other areas, but that will change as needed.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign and businesses have provided "Significant financial benefits" to nine of the witnesses in his criminal cases, ProPublica reported Monday morning - shrugging off a threatening cease-and-desist letter sent by Trump's attorney. The detailed report by ProPublica's Robert Faturechi, Justin Elliott, and Alex Mierjeski describes how nine individuals who have been named as witnesses received benefits that included "Large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump's media company" from Trump's various campaign committees and businesses. These benefits "Often came at delicate moments in the legal proceedings against Trump," said the report, highlighting one example of Trump aide Dan Scavino, who was given a "Plum position on the board of Trump's social media company, for example, got the seat after he was subpoenaed but before he testified." Other well-known names in Trump's circle mentioned in the article include campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn, campaign head Susie Wiles, lawyer Evan Corcoran, and former Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg. Salary increases, bonuses, promotions, and other benefits, can be evidence of witness tampering, the ProPublica article explained, if prosecutors can show that these employment changes occurred separate from normal business operations and the "Perks or punishments were intended to influence testimony." Even if no new charges are brought against the former president who is now a convicted felon, the details of these benefits could be used by prosecutors in Trump's still-pending cases to "Undermine the credibility" of these witnesses if the defense calls them to provide testimony helpful to Trump. The Trump Org and various campaign entities have, of course, denied that any wrongdoing took place, and denied that Trump had knowledge or direct involvement in compensation issues. One former aide compared working for the Trump Organization, his large company, to "a small family business" where every employee "In some sense reports to Mr. Trump." Former aides have said Trump demands unwavering loyalty from subordinates, even when their duties require independence Trump's former campaign manager and former campaign adviser were convicted on federal witness tampering charges in 2018 and 2019. Trump posted on social media that he had read about a Georgia politician who "Will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn't." One witness has said publicly that, when he quit working for Trump in the midst of the classified documents criminal investigation, he was offered golf tournament tickets, a lawyer paid for by Trump and a new job that would have come with a raise.
As this community continues to grow, we are noticing periods of time that moderation isn't as responsive, due to most of the moderators being asleep at that time. If you want to help us, and live in Asia/Asia Pacific/Australia/New Zealand area, please comment here that you're interested, why you think you'd be a good fit for the team, and anything you'd change if you were picked.
With a fresh crew of moderators, we are now ready to hear your opinions once more!
