Countries with universal health coverage are not trying to get rid of it to implement a privatized system where corporations make a TRILLION dollars while trying to cover as little health care as possible.

Medicare for all. Now.

BREAKING: Democratic bruiser Congressman-elect Richard Ojeda unleashes a VOLCANIC takedown of Trump's failed Iran War: "The good guys do not bomb children in schools!"

This guy is quickly becoming a personal favorite of ours...

"You served in Iraq," began journalist Major Garrett during a conversation on his show "The Takeout."

"Yes," said Ojeda, who served in the Army for 24 years.

"You said that war was sold on a lie."

"Yes."

"What is your attitude about the Iran war?" asked Garrett.

"It's unacceptable. We need to end this war now," Ojeda said bluntly. "We're not the good guys. The good guys don't bomb children in schools. The good guys do not bomb children in hospitals. You know, we're in the wrong here, and that's just the way that it is."

We couldn't agree more and it's so refreshing to hear an elected official state the facts in such stark, unapologetic fashion. Trump launched this war to forward Israel's national interests. Iran posed no threat to us and our own intelligence agencies concluded that they weren't pursuing nuclear weapons. This is an illegal war of aggression that has accomplished nothing beyond pointless suffering and death and higher gas prices.

"We were committed to a war with no exit strategy," said Ojeda. "You know, and what's really the worst part about this is how dare you, how dare you send troops into harm's way while you're actively trying to gut the Veterans Administration, which is what every single one of those people that make it home are going to rely on for the rest of their lives!"

"You believe this administration is gutting the Veterans Administration?" asked Garrett.

"Absolutely. Absolutely," said Ojeda without hesitation.

"In what way?" asked Garrett.

"Period! I mean, cutting funding from the VA, trying to make it harder for people to be able to file their claims, cutting the Veterans Administration in terms of jobs," said Ojeda. "I mean, goodness gracious, DOGE fired 7,000 jobs. The big horrible bill targets like 86,000."

"You know, how dare you claim to support the veteran?" he continued. "You know, these are the people that will knock a person down to take a picture with the veteran coming off of a plane from a combat zone. But when it comes to standing up for those veterans, they're quiet, and that's unacceptable!"

And Ojeda isn't just talk. He's already publicly demanding that Hegseth be impeached for his horrific conduct as Defense Secretary and will be aggressively supporting the efforts to remove him once Democrats take power in January.

Ojeda is exactly the kind of no-nonsense, rhetorical brawler that Democrats need in the House right now. We can't wait to see what he does once he's sworn in.

Please ❤️ and share if you're becoming a big fan of Richard Ojeda!

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

“He alienated MAHA, he alienated No New Wars, he alienated the Fiscal Conservatives.”

Congressman Thomas Massie RIPS President Trump for abandoning the very groups that got him elected, saying it cost Republicans the midterms.

“Systematically, Donald Trump disassembled the coalition that he put together that had put us in the majority.”

“He got a lot of women who are Independent to vote Republican on promising to release the Epstein files.”

“And also got Independent women to vote for him and some Democrats on the MAHA issue.”

“There are a lot of us who don’t want another war and are tired of war.”

“Then he betrayed the fiscal conservatives.”

Jennifer Hegseth was a Fox News producer when she had Pete Hegseth's baby. He was still married to his second wife. Two months later, a woman said he sexually assaulted her in a Monterey hotel room. He said it was consensual and later paid her $50,000 under a confidentiality agreement.

In the video below, Senator Tim Kaine walks him through it at his confirmation hearing. "You were still married to your second wife, correct?" "I believe so." Every answer after that is the same: "I was falsely charged, fully investigated and completely cleared."

He was confirmed 51 to 50. JD Vance broke the tie. Jennifer became his third wife in 2019, and she sat in on his closed-door meetings with senators and on interviews for his top hires.

On November 4, Politico reported she had been paid as a consultant by Watchtower Strategy, a Trump-aligned PR firm. One of its clients is Lockheed Martin, which got more than $66 billion from the government that year. The Pentagon called it "ridiculous slander."

Six days later, Republican Thomas Massie forced a vote to impeach her husband over illegal military operations. It failed 211 to 204. Eleven Democrats did not show up.

His wife was paid by a firm that works for the biggest contractor in his department. Conflict of interest, or is she allowed to have a job?

Q: “Sen. @VanHollenForMD called for removing the provision in the NDAA (section 219) which deepens military cooperation with Israel. Do you support removing it?”

@RepJeffries: “I haven’t talked to him… Things have to dramatically change in the Middle East…”

BREAKING: Families of USS George H.W. Bush sailors yelled at senior Trump administration Navy leaders in a combative Norfolk meeting after being told the carrier won't be coming home for holidays due to upcoming escalation with Iran, per MS NOW exclusive audio.

One spouse said her husband "wanted to try to kill himself four times while on the Bush" but was denied help by the administration.

"He doesn't even want to fucking live anymore! And you're going to sit up there and be like, 'Oh, we're doing everything we can, I understand.' No, you don't! No, you fucking don't!" she told them.

The families were also being told to now plan for a yearlong deployment.

Another called the escort mission through the strait "unsustainable and unaffordable" and said it could go on for 10 years. "They still have the nuclear material," she added.

Families also described rapidly worsening food, broken toilets/washers, and sailors hand-washing oil-soaked gear "because the boat's falling apart."
