Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Does the USA just let anyone become in charge of large areas of the country? Like you don't need to be an elected official or anything?

There is Senate confirmation. But there is talk of Trump pressuring the Senate to adjourn so his nominations can be rammed through as "recess appointments". Then we'd really be in rubber stamp legislature autocracy territory
