Do the rich deserve better healthcare than the poor? Do the poor deserve to be poor and the rich deserve to be rich? Is capitalism simply exploitation?

People talk as if the current economic system is carved in stone, the natural order of things. Nothing is further from the truth. We invented the current system…we can invent something different.

Obama: "This is what I mean when I say these are not serious people. They don't have solutions to actual problems, so they'd rather have the media and you talking about the Cheesecake Factory. That's the game they've been playing for the last two years."

You go to a Trump rally and hear about Trump, Trump's enemies, and Trump's grievances. You go to an Obama rally and hear about democracy, healthcare, and the future of the country. The contrast is something else.

Well, they're showing their hand. Trump won't accept losing the Senate. They're going to commit every crime they can to try to stop the flip.

Meta is blocking Angie Nixon. Maybe we can at least amplify her here. Follow, retweet, etc.
Hey @Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie @Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event. This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters. We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone

Our key shortage right now is Patriot interceptors to take down Russian ballistic missiles. Russia is betting primarily on ballistic missiles in this war, especially with winter approaching. We now need particular help securing anti-ballistic missile interceptors. Europe has these resources, and so do our partners in the United States. It is important that the relevant programs truly work, particularly the PURL initiative, and that the U.S. side does not delay deliveries under the program. We are counting heavily on support for this at every level. Every day of delay means losses and destruction for us, given that Russia’s ballistic missile campaign against our cities and communities continues every single day, nonstop. We need the appropriate deliveries. I said this during a joint press conference with Rob Jetten @MinPres.

🛬 Touchdown in Montréal 🇨🇦 Rarely have I looked forward to a Summit this much. An ocean separates Europe and Canada. Yet we have never felt closer. We have a new ambition: bringing Canada closer to us than ever before, as Associate Member of the EU. And we want to take our unique partnership even further. With an Alliance for the Future, we will stand together and respond to a world of growing rivalries. Montréal, we’re about to write a new chapter in our shared history.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Republicans commit voter fraud, then say it's proof there is fraud in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
BREAKING: MAGA provocateurs James O’Keefe and Cam Higby have been hit with FELONY charges in Minnesota! They allegedly impersonated REAL voters, dressed up as Muslims and tried to manufacture an election fraud scandal. The irony is absolutely staggering. These are the same people who have spent years screaming about election fraud, and now THEY are the ones facing felony election-related charges. You cannot make this stuff up. Hold them accountable!

Oh the irony? John Brassard went to Algonquin College where he studied "broadcasting". That's it folks. A 6 months community college program in "broadcasting". This is the twit that is criticising a woman with a Doctorate and Five degrees from Universities in UK, USA and Canada.
WATCH: The @PierrePoilievre Conservatives laugh at Prime Minister @MarkJCarney’s wife, Diana Fox Carney’s credentials as a climate policy expert.

Trump's blocking delivery of Ukraine's air defense missiles is war crime. All US allies still reliant on US produced gear must understand that America has fallen to the Russians.
Сьогодні вранці я був на Південному мосту. Країна не здатна ні прикрити себе антибалістикою, ні ефективно зупиняти реактивні шахеди. Щодня й щоночі руйнуються обʼєкти «Епіцентру», «Розетки», «Нової пошти». Нам треба говорити про мир. Але він можливий лише за шести ключових умов. Перше. Україна на переговорах має бути не прохачем. Щоб іти на переговори, нам потрібна сильна переговорна позиція, яка ґрунтується на сильних Збройних Силах. Нам потрібен сильний військовий бюджет та воєнна економіка, а не той непотріб, що зараз внесено на розгляд Верховної Ради. Друге. Ми повинні знищувати не лише російську зброю, а й можливості росії її виробляти. Для цього нам потрібне наступальне озброєння — власне і вироблене спільно з нашими європейськими партнерами. Третє. Ми повинні відібрати в путіна його головного союзника — час. Не можемо дозволити стерти Україну. Тому потрібні союз із партнерами і внутрішня єдність, яка має базуватись на коаліції національної єдності, а не на відсутній у залі парламенту монобільшості. Четверте. Необхідні санкції проти росії з автоматичними наслідками, які застосовуватимуть усі наші партнери. Пʼяте. Перемирʼя має передбачати не лише дату початку, а й механізм покарання за порушення, включно з нашим членством у НАТО, а до того — розгортанням миротворців ООН. Шосте. росія має фінансувати відбудову того, що вона зруйнувала. Цей план точно здатен забезпечити Україні Європейське та щасливе майбутнє.

PM Mark Carney "Il (Paul St-Pierre Plamondon) a été invité au dîner, il a refusé." Au sujet du sommet UE-Canada: "Nous avons eu trois consultations avec la délégation du Québec, déjà, en ce qui concerne l'accord avec l'UE. C'est sa décision de laisser une chaise vide, encore." @PaulPlamondon , allez-vous nous priver, pour créer des chicanes inutiles avec Ottawa, de représentation diplomatique? Vous auriez pu rencontrer tous les gens importants de l'UE dans les coulisses du dîner, faire des contacts importants pour le Québec, et vous nous en privez? Le Québec a un besoin criant de diversifier son économie, pas d'un PM qui adopte des positions absolutistes pour mousser l'indépendance du Québec- dont les Québécois ne veulent pas! Cessez de faire la diva, et gouvernez! #cdnpoli #polqc

It was actually our 250th anniversary. Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.
Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
July 4 2026 marked the 250th anniversary of US independence not the 200th as claimed in the video. Multiple reports placed Paxton in London England that weekend with videos of the trip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St… thedailybeast.com/must-win-maga-… ibtimes.co.uk/ken-paxton-lon… washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns…
