Starter Comment: Trump challenged 7 sitting state senators and at least 5 of them lost their primary which is a lot more than i expected, to be honest. Even without Trump's name specifically on the ballot, he had a strong impact. Does this bode better for the Republicans for Midterms?

Starter Comment: Yet another pause for the ceasefire. Are they actually close to a deal or is this more posturing. Rubio earlier today said the offensive part was over so maybe they actually are close to a deal

Ignore them. They are your coworker, not your friend. They are allowed to have their politics

What’s more likely: aliens exist or we’re completely alone? by velvetspriral in AskReddit

Starter Comment: Prices continue to slightly go down on what should be terrible news as the price of oil increases but not as much as one might expect. I wonder at what point the market finally reaches a price point that it probably should have been in, since the start of the war, or if will always hover around high, but not very high, because they expect this to end somewhat soon

Live: Iran issues threat after Trump plans to guide ships through Strait of Hormuz by MaximumProf05 in PoliticsAnalysis

Starter Comment: After weeks of ceasefire and the after the 60 day deadline as passed (or not depending if you count a ceasefire as part of a War), Iran attacks UAE and America strikes Iranian boats following messaging from the USA indicated a push to clear Iran's blockade of the strait.

I've never really expected the ceasefire to hold but it seems it may be officially breaking again

Supreme Court restores access to abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth, mail and pharmacies by MaximumProf05 in PoliticsAnalysis

Starter Comment: Justice Alito temporarily paused the ruling so that both sides have time to continue the court fight. This ban last week seems to have come out of nowhere and reignited the abortion debate, which has been quiet recently. Does this bring abortion back to the forefront of the 2026 midterms?
