The National Archives at College Park is about to go dark; effective July 7, it’s becoming a restricted-access federal facility, meaning everyday Americans will no longer have public access to the very records that hold our government accountable.

This is where the receipts live; declassified files, presidential documents, historical memos, and now they’re walling it off behind a vague “legitimate business need” standard.

Dual-Board Certified Adult Psychiatrist records a call with Optum Healthcare

Optum Healthcare is a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare

He is contracted to provide services for suicidal veterans with Optum and they’re refusing to pay

Optum Rep says “The law doesn’t matter” when the doctor reads the law saying any facility may be used to provide the care if it’s a suicidal case, the insurance company cannot deny payment for services

Optum says they will only provide coverage if it’s in a specific building type

He again reads the law that says any facility may be used in these cases. The doctor is also contracted with both the VA and with Optum so it should be covered for the patient anyway

Optum says “The law doesn’t matter” and denies payment and coverage.

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. It's the single best explanation I've ever heard on the future of #Iran 👇

As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed.

But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan.

Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation. So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse. A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree.

We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more.
