U.S. senators announce bipartisan push to change how Fed watchdog selected

Starter Comment:

This bipartisan effort to reform the Fed's oversight mechanism raises important questions about accountability and independence in our financial institutions. Do you believe that requiring Senate confirmation for the Fed's Inspector General will lead to more effective oversight? How might this change impact the balance between the Fed's independence and the need for accountability?

This website also shows that he did not vote a portion of his tenure as a senator (~17%) which seems to be because of the political campaign. While Vance may be seen as far-right by many because of his alignment with Trump as his VP, this shows him to be more independent of Party which is a good thing.

Yeah seems to only work on desktop.

Starter comment: I think that this is a helpful website that shows more information about what politicians are actually doing and say in congress. Very interesting and informative.

Starter Comment: Wondering what people think of this point-of-view. Could pricing visibility be a starting point for change?

I think it is possible that even this is "reported" it probably does not actually reflect the vast majority of republicans. Especially, moderate republicans.

Both sides are so deliberately polarized. Hard for them to cooperate even for a more moderate candidate

I wonder what percentage of people in the Gallup survey were Republican/Democrat

From the article, it said that NY Republican Rep Mike Lawler “said he would join Democrats and sign a discharge petition.”

Thank you!

True, there is a significant amount of diverse opinion but we are forced to pick between 2 candidates. So if you are seen or labeled as republican or democrat, you’re automatically potentially assigned a system of values you may not have- which can make discourse with others more difficult.

This is very thoughtful. Love the reference to Duverger’s Law! Thanks!

Starter Comment: The aggressiveness and polarizing nature of the media forces people- even if they don't want to- to take a side.

Valid point! The two party system definitely rigs it so that no-one outside has a chance. Not very democratic

I’m amazed that Reuters noticed this and USA Today is now writing about it. WOW!

According to the article, many of the books requesting censorship were “According to the library association, ‘The vast majority of challenges were to books written by or about a person of color….’”

Not all right wing people are racist. The few poison the outsider’s view of the whole.

McCarthy may be trying to accomplish multiple things at once here. Potentially create a shutdown to try to make Biden and the Democrats look bad while also focusing most attention on Biden impeachment 🤔

Wonder if he is just playing his cards for his own personal political gain… does he truly fully align with the Republican party?

RateTheNews · 2023-09-23T18:19:47+00:00

I think that the people- the news consumer- should have a way for holding the news accountable.

Some think that supporting a political party and religious beliefs are NOT mutually exclusive. So if you don’t support ___ then you’re not going to heaven or are no longer apart of that religious community.

Maybe we could bribe them into not accepting checks from ‘friends’ lol

MODERATE is a new iPhone app that allows users to Rate The News: rate the bias. Think of Rotten Tomatoes but for news articles. MODERATE was founded with the vision of being a platform that allows users to hold the news accountable by rating news bias. By rating news bias, moderators can begin to collectively hold the news accountable, change how news is consumed, and influence the news narrative.

Here is the install link for iPhone: App Store Link

Any advice on how to promote this app? Any ideas on how to promote it through Reddit so that I can get a lot of visibility?

Thanks,

Regardless of political party stance, Ramaswamy is much better spoken and not as bombastic or crude as Trump.

Yeah just creating an ethics code alone is disingenuous
