North American Politics Republicans say America is broke, then find $95 billion for Trump’s Iran war and voting restrictions
I am so fucking tired of being told that America cannot afford healthcare, housing, food assistance, education, veteran care, or anything else that would materially improve ordinary people’s lives.
House Republicans just passed a 216–214 budget blueprint that begins the reconciliation process for a package worth up to $95 billion.
The breakdown:
• $60 billion for the Pentagon
• $13 billion for national security
• $12 billion for farmers affected by Trump’s tariffs
• $10 billion connected to the SAVE America Act and its new voting requirements
So let me understand this correctly.
Trump drags the country into another war without congressional authorization. His tariffs hurt American farmers. Then taxpayers are expected to fund both disasters while Republicans attach Trump’s voting agenda to the same package.
Meanwhile, 18 American service members are dead, more than 430 have been wounded, and the Iran war has already cost taxpayers an estimated $37.5 billion.
But when Americans ask for affordable healthcare, cheaper housing, properly funded schools, food assistance, or functioning veterans’ services, suddenly every Republican becomes deeply concerned about the deficit.
The money always exists for war.
The money always exists for corporate handouts.
The money always exists when Trump wants another blank check or Republicans want more control over elections.
It only disappears when ordinary Americans need something.
Fuck Donald Trump, fuck this pointless war, and fuck every fake “fiscal conservative” who pretends America is broke until the Pentagon comes knocking.

North American Politics Oppose the death threat against UAW presidential candidate Will Lehman!
On July 16, Raymond L. Jensen Jr., a high-ranking official of the United Auto Workers, posted a death threat against Will Lehman, the socialist Mack Trucks worker and candidate for UAW president. The threat was an AI-generated image posted on Lehman’s public Facebook campaign page depicting Lehman bound with rope and gagged, blood running from his mouth, with a masked man aiming an automatic rifle at his back.
The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) calls on workers and all defenders of democratic rights to denounce this incitement to violence against Will Lehman and demand its unequivocal public repudiation by the UAW.
Jensen’s threatening post cannot be brushed aside as the act of a deranged individual acting on his own. Jensen is an organizer on the staff of the UAW. Until recently he was the assistant director of UAW Region 9, the region to which Lehman belongs. He was paid approximately $202,000 in total compensation in 2025, according to the union’s LM-2 filings with the US Labor Department. He is a prominent supporter of UAW President Shawn Fain, and his Facebook profile displays an “I Support Sha
***
The IWA-RFC calls on UAW members and workers in every industry, in the US and internationally, to take up the defense of Lehman as their own cause. As Lehman stated: “This threat is not aimed at me alone. It is an act of intimidation directed against the entire rank-and-file opposition.”
The IWA-RFC also calls on all left-wing and progressive organizations to categorically denounce this threat.

Register your opposition to this incitement to violence! Email the UAW at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to demand that it publicly repudiate the threat against Lehman, with a copy to the Will Lehman campaign at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

Debate Help Protests can never be peaceful
The term itself means disagreement and when this happens it will lead to violence. Peaceful dialogue is the only way or a peaceful legal action.
Such public protests are just political propaganda and every party will try to gain mileage from it and the students will be left stranded
