I don't want "free healthcare."

I want universal healthcare, paid for by MY taxes, that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupt, sick, or dead because they can't afford the
treatment.

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different.
Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people.
For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits.
He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide.
No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents.
His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

I’ve been in Congress through divided governments, bitter fights, and historic crises. I’ve never seen anything like the last 24 hours.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson killed Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s bipartisan deal to fund the TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA. 

It was a deal that had the support of Senate Republicans and Democrats alike, 100-0!

Why?

Because Johnson places his own political survival and fealty to Trump over all else, including long waits at airports or anything else.

We could have passed it in the House easily if only Johnson had allowed the vote to proceed. But instead he blew up the whole thing.

Where this goes next is anyone’s guess, but what’s very clear is that Johnson is the worst and most subservient speaker in modern American history.

🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened..

the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.."

the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran..

the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data..

think about the timing..

America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile..

they walked through the front door of the FBI..

and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it..

the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules..

The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

[Saint Resist - Break The System @SaintResist]

🇺🇸 Americans, open your eyes—this is the brutal reality staring us in the face:

The United States has carried out military interventions, invasions, bombings, coups, and regime-change operations in over 80 countries since World War II—some sources say closer to hundreds when counting every covert action and proxy war. We've toppled governments in Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), Congo (1960), Chile (1973), and so many more. Full-scale wars and occupations in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq (twice), Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Yemen... the list goes on. We've dropped more bombs, caused millions of deaths (civilian and military), shattered economies, created refugee crises, and left entire regions in chaos—all while calling it "spreading democracy" or "protecting freedom."

Now ask yourself the one question that exposes the hypocrisy:

How many times has a foreign army invaded and occupied the American mainland?

Once. The British in 1812—they burned the White House and left. Pearl Harbor was a strike on Hawaii (not yet a state), 9/11 was terrorism—not an invasion. No foreign boots have marched across our heartland, occupied our cities, or redrawn our maps in over 200 years.

Yet here we are in 2026, pouring over $900 BILLION to $1 TRILLION annually into defense—more than the next 9–10 countries COMBINED (China ~$300B, Russia ~$200B, India, Germany, UK, France, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and others all together can't match us).

Think about that.

Our bridges are collapsing. Our borders are porous. Our veterans sleep on the streets. Our debt is exploding toward unimaginable levels. Families can't afford groceries, rent, or healthcare. Kids are in failing schools. But we keep funding endless wars, bases in 80+ countries, and "nation-building" abroad.

This isn't strength—it's insanity.

We don't have our priorities straight. We've been sold the lie that being the world's permanent cop keeps us safe, when it actually breeds enemies, drains our treasury, and weakens us at home.

Enough.

It's time to bring our troops home, secure our borders, rebuild our infrastructure, take care of our people, and put America First—for real.

No more playing global sheriff while our own house burns.

If this hits home, RT, like, and comment 🔥 if you're done with the forever wars and ready to fix America instead.

Who's with me?

[Dan Osborn @osbornforne]

Over the last 50 years, $50 trillion has flowed from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

Why don't our political leaders fix it?

They work for the 1%. Many are the 1%.

It's time to elect an outsider.

[Voter Action Project @voteractionproj]

Even using the right wing conservative Heritage Foundation’s research, there is no justification for Trump's SAVE Act.

It is voter suppression, designed for the insidious purpose of staying in power regardless of what the majority of American voters want.

But the Republicans have to dress the SAVE Act up as if it is preserving "election integrity." Those are lies - don't fall for it.

🚨 Senator Chris Murphy — one hour after walking out of a classified Iran war briefing — was asked why the US went to war with Iran.

His answer:

“The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in and tried to backtrack from — Israel made us do it. Netanyahu decided on the timeline. He convinced Trump to join him by scaring Trump into believing US assets were at risk.”

Then Murphy asked the question every American should be asking:

“How weak are we if our allies can force us into wars of choice that are bad for US national security interests?”

Mark Warner confirmed there was no imminent threat to the United States.

The nuclear program is not even part of the targeting campaign.

Seven Americans are dead.

165 schoolgirls are dead.

700,000 Lebanese are displaced.

Mines are in the Strait of Hormuz.

Gulf allies cut 6.7 million barrels.

And a US Senator with classified intelligence access just said Israel forced our hand.

How weak does that make America look.

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

This isn’t left vs right.
It’s accountability vs corruption.

It’s time to rebuild a government that works for the people not the powerful.
