By Ben Meiselas
It was such a pleasure to welcome Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus back on the MeidasTouch Network, and our latest conversation might be one of the most eye-opening yet. Let me tell you up front: Canada is not playing around anymore when it comes to Donald Trump.
Trump’s threats of massive tariffs against Canada and Europe are nothing short of unhinged. He’s ranting that the European Union and Canada are teaming up “to do economic harm” to the U.S.—so he’s slapping on higher tariffs in retaliation. It’s the behavior of a desperate man, lashing out because the grift is falling apart.
But here’s what Trump didn’t expect: Canada is standing tall. And as Charlie Angus told me in this interview, Canadians have had enough of being pushed around by an unstable neighbor who embraces authoritarianism, kidnaps and detains citizens at will, and threatens the very fabric of democracy.
Prime Minister Mark Carney made it official: the close partnership Canada once had with the U.S. is over. Period. And honestly, can you blame them?
Canada is already pivoting away from U.S. trade, investing in deeper ties with Europe, sourcing food from other countries, and rethinking defense contracts—because they no longer trust the U.S. as a reliable partner under Trump’s regime. Flights to the U.S. are down 70%. Canadian grocery stores have ditched American produce. And Canadian protests against Trump’s regime are growing by the day.
Let me repeat something Charlie said that should resonate with everyone watching this: “We will never, ever kiss that gangster’s ring.”
The truth is, Trump has turned the U.S. into a nation that looks less like a beacon of democracy and more like a wannabe dictatorship. When Kristi Noem is filming weird, dystopian propaganda videos in El Salvadoran prisons, and Trump is cozying up to Putin while attacking allies like Canada, it’s clear: America’s slipping into something dark—and the world is watching.
Trump is a geopolitical Ponzi schemer, running a fraud on the American people and weakening our standing in the world. But he’s not just hurting Americans. He’s also making our allies reconsider everything, from intelligence-sharing to military procurement.
The collapse is coming—and as Charlie warned, it’s going to hit Americans first. Higher prices. Job losses. Isolation. And Trump won’t be able to lie his way out of it.
To our Maple Meidas brothers and sisters: Elbows up. We see you. We stand with you. And to everyone here in the U.S.—Canada is showing us that democracy doesn’t defend itself. We have to fight for it.
Let’s go.
Let’s keep this momentum going. Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
We’re done with this RAPIST and CONVICTED FELON, also. Our allies are done with this RAPIST and CONVICTED FELON, also.
So? What actions can we/should we take in your opinon? I'm for joining Canada. Watch as we start to demonstrate this Saturday and beyond. Elon/trump are foaming at the mouth waiting to install martial law and cancel our elections. However....let's make some noise and soon their non-rich supporters and independents will join us too.
Thanks for covering this! And thanks for having our backs 🇨🇦 . Looking forward to the day when we can have a great friendship again with America (the sane ones at least).
Thank you, Lisa, for saying that. I’ve received some incredibly hurtful comments from other Canadian citizens. I honestly believe I speak for the majority of Americans when I say we are appalled and disgusted by what our government is doing to us and to the countries we’ve considered to be our allies for many years. We’re in the fight of our lives to rid our country of the festering virus that is currently occupying the White House, fighting for our jobs, healthcare, freedom of speech, fighting against the racial injustices, etc. I pray we will one day be able to restore our relationships with Canada and the other great nations our government has alienated.
I am so sorry you have received hurtful comments. I think the vast majority of Canadians do not hold the majority of the American people responsible and we know you are as disgusted as we are. I am heart broken that you have to endure this but I do believe that when we all stand together, we can fight this and America will be in a better place at the end of this. That is my hope and prayer!
Sorry that happened to you. Most of us know that not all Americans are insane. We know what a hard time it is for you right now. Please pay no attention to them. That was unkind.
@RetiredTeacher84 --Please do not internalize negative comments.
Toss them asap and continue focusing on what is vital and important. Understand that toxicity expressed by others is only a symptom of their own deep, dark, unresolved issues--and has nothing whatsoever to do with you.
I've reminded more than a few that they need to recognize their insults and jabs have zero effect on me and others who don't know them or respect them. You know your worth. Neanderthals don't know you or themselves very well. They operate out of fear and desperation and lashing out at others which (as we know) changes nothing.
Carry on and thank you for choosing to be a teacher. Ya'll are next to God in our home. 💙💞💙
Thank you. I’m trying!
You’ll do well. Just print my post. Keep it handy. Re-read it whenever.
Also remember how miserable the folks who say and do ugly things really are! Can you imagine what it’s like to work with them? Live with them? Or, (gasp!) be them?
Remember, too, do not respond to hateful comments—ever. Block the
sender and anyone else who decides to contact you. You are not subject to their jibes so don’t feel like you have to defend yourself. You do not.
Blessings and Sunny Days! We appreciate you!!! 💙💞💙
Thank you. I will!
💞💙💞
Martial law??? Hope the military disobey those orders and join the resistance if he does try that nonsense.
Most military bases have FOXNEWS on so many military personnel are brainwashed into right wing thinking.
There must be some military personnel that are free thinkers, know right from wrong. I would like to think the free thinkers and those who know right from wrong would eventually do the right thing. At least I hope so.
I thought the GOP Senate would do that. Where have their voices been?
@ Sharon Hunt --Agree. Not everyone is willing to sell their soul to the devil. They may be silent for the moment so as to protect themselves from being fingered by the enemy but, if TSHTF a new day will dawn.
Perhaps but, when they get a call from home to be told one of their own is suffering as a result of the Tramp/Mask regime that'll change rapidly.
I think the same thing will happen with people in prison. Just wait until someone they love and care for is being denied life-sustaining services because of the administration. All h*ll will break loose and there will be nowhere for them to run.
Of course, all of these creeps have safe rooms and underground escape lodgings they're sure can withstand anything--even a direct nuclear hit. What they do not have control over is the Creator of All and what can be unleashed. If the Earth vomits them out they're done for!
Exactly!!!!
Don't count on it. Be very careful and don't let the Proud Boys or their kind try to instigate it by pushing people; they're known to do that. Keep it non violent or the Nazis will use it as an excuse to declare martial law and deprive us of our civil liberties.
@Oaktown -- Good point. Jan6 was going to be Tramp's excuse (at the behest of Michael Flynn no less) to declare martial law. The effort failed and Dumpty hit the curb.
Efforts to unseat and dismantle our government have been in existence since the beginning. This is just another round of efforts that will ultimately fail.
We are not the United States of Russia nor are we the United States of Apartheid. These evil people will not succeed.
I hope you're right, but don't count on it. Now is the time to resist and defy lawlessness and corruption. Right now we ARE the USR (United States of Russia), and El Salvador is our Siberia. Too many are still in denial about the urgent threat we face.
At the rate this demonic administration is going we may not have to wait long.
Hope you're right about that too. I just heard a podcast guest say we're about to face a Constitutional crisis. We're already IN one; Numbnuts sent more LEGAL immigrants to El Salvador, defying Judge Boasberg's order. Thursday's hearing will be critical.
My concern is that Fox has been on the tvs on military bases for years. I agree with you. Hopefully this is only a fear on my part (and others) and our showing our intense concern is heard and maybe even effective. I'm just not feeling optimistic these days.
I love in a state that's full of military . I'm within 10 miles of one of the biggest military air bases and 1 hr away from the biggest Marine Corps base. This guy's and girls are pushed FOX everywhere. Every TV in anything military is on FOX. Of course, you can't go into a car dealership, pharmacy or pawn shop that doesn't have FOX blaring too. All of our local news channels are owned by that right wing affiliated company that I can't for the life of me remember the name of right now. The local radio is TOTAL MAGA. I can't listen to the radio at all anymore.
The few military that do think for themselves are far and few. That's just the way they brainwash them starting in boot camp. I love and respect our military people don't misunderstand me, but if anyone is counting on them to turn on who ever is POTUS, they would get their feelings hurt. It's just the way they wire them. I'm also a military kid. I was raised on military bases and even went to schools on military bases. They take POTUS as their leader really seriously. Not until I was an adult did I realize how messed up that is. They are sworn to the Constitution just like POTUS and Congress, but their loyalty is to POTUS, never doubt that. It's not right but that's how they think.
I would love for some to get on here and tell me I'm totally wrong. Truly, I wish millions would. Vet's are different. They are split about 60/40. This security breach has shook some up, but everyone I've seen interviewed has said it was wrong, they are pissed, but they still support Trump.
Go figure!!
🙏🌊🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🌊🙏🌊🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🌊🙏
The GOP is the majority. WHAT are THEY doing to stop him? We can rally all we want, but if the Dems don’t show up to vote, they are also hurting us, and giving power to the RAPIST.
@Dianne K --Well, the only place to get answers to your question is right here in MTN country. Stay tuned.
There’s no chance in hell we will join the states or you will join us. We are a sovereign nation and will remain so.
As you should. Please don't condemn all of us because there are more of us against this administration than there are for it. Resistance takes time but we're doing our best.
But we love your sanity!
I'm confused by your "so" comment. Have you done nothing? No letters to your congress people, no phone calls, nothing? Just sit and watch as the US burns around you? Something small is better than nothing at all.
Have you tried calling the White House or GOP Senators since Jan 20th? Right after inauguration, the White House comment phone line AND the email address the voice message said to use were down. The email address suddenly didn't work. I've been writing letters to Presidents and others since I was 6 years old. Never have I had difficulty doing so. Now our elected officials have simply turned us citizens off. On many issues we are actually the majority. They don't want to hear us.
They haven't all turned us off. Here is a list of links of a number of people you can contact as well as other things you can do if you want...
Join A Group – Start A Group – Then Network!
If you want to join an established group, then look at the links below. If you are part of a group I do not publish, please let me know so I can include it. Please do not wait for some leader to pop up and tell us all what to do.
If you cannot find a group, then form one and take action in your local area, keeping safety in mind, of course. When you take action, report it. Spread pictures, videos, write-ups, whatever all over the Internet in every media that will take it. If the horses won’t come to the water, we will take the water to the horses and when they are thirsty for ratings, they will drink!
Then network with the other groups to and build a coalition that no one can ignore. We are all in this together – sink or swim! Get involved because we are all involved and all impacted. Go Team Go!
You want a TOWN HALL MEETING? Don’t Wait for A Leader!
Set up a Town Hall Meeting without your representative. Hold the meeting and let everyone share. Take notes/meeting minutes. Send a copy of the official Meeting Minutes to their offices. Post them in newspapers and on every social media or other media you can. Make sure to put at the top who the representative was that did not show and where the town hall meeting was held. Then just report on what happened and all the concerns and questions. Hold these meetings weekly or regularly. Keep the pressure on even if they want to hide and pretend we/you all do not matter!
Then go out and contact a Democrat in your State and invite them to come talk in your district to answer questions. I will bet you they will show up!
Get started today!

Beautifully articulated. Thank You!
Brilliant. Thank you!
charlie tells it like it is! elbows up Canada
I absolutely love every interview Ben does with Charlie Angus.
Me too!! I love Charlie Angus. A natural born leader and so well spoken.
I wish that Democrats could introduce a bill that sets presidential limits, to avoid excessive waste of our taxpayer dollars. For example, limit golfing, recreational, frivolous, unnecessary trips on Air Force One (to save on fuel+). The president must spend a reasonable amount of time working at the White House (not rallying, golfing, or partying excessively, i.e. at Mar-A-Lago, etc.). Limit a president's frivolous and wasteful spending alltogether, in order to save taxpayer dollars. Hold president to be transparent and accountable for the excess spent. Limits to president's wasteful and excessive spending by family members as well.
A bill asking for presidential limits on tariffs is being worked on. Democrats in congress are trying to take tariff powers back from the POTUS because he doesn't wield them responsibly.
If he had to list five things he did, he'd turn in a blank page.
"... that were not self serving,.. "
Ha ha he's good.at.lying! " like no one has ever seen"
how about simply enforcing respect? JD Vance calling the Chinese workers "peasants?" attacking Zelenski for not saying thank you? is he really that stupid or is he intentionally antagonizing? to mess up things and cause chaos with the Donald? does he know if he's asked that question? I think they both need to be impeached and Mike Johnson its not good folks and getting worse!! this bullshit needs to stop!!
We need more Dems in Congress to stop Trump…Time to show up for every election in every state…It and protests all over the country is our only Ammo…
SCOTUS John Roberts needs to backtrack and redeem himself, after allowing Trump complete immunity, to be above the law. Because of this, Trump is now trying to impeach judges. Judge Roberts rebuked this. How long will it be before Trump runs all over Judge Roberts+, or tries to impeach him? Judge Roberts didn't think that far enough ahead about this happening.
I would hope that now the Supreme Court will reverse their immunity in order to Stop this…I have mentioned that protests should also be in front of the Supreme Court for that very reason….
@Barbara Gierzak -- Roberts tore his a** with us when he did the immunity ruling. No redemption possible where we are concerned. He can go pound sand! Oh, and my missus says, "I'm done with that stupid broad who obliterated Jack Kennedy's rose garden."
Traitors, pedos, adulterers, drug addicts, morons, pigs, and monsters are ruling but, it's only for a moment in time.
This too shall pass.
more Dems or people that refuse loyalty to a two bit bankrupt buffoon fool! or anyone over their Oath!!
Rebuild yes rebuilt trust? that is an uphill deal so many can be corrupted and bought!!
Yes!!!!
Will never happen unless the Dems take over a clear majority of House and Senate seats. Those elections are as important as the presidential election.
Would.work if the.Donald choose.to follow.rules!!!..the Diaper Diarrhea Dumb Donald.Ds; Deny Disenfranchise Denounce, Disobey, Divert, Destroy, Disallow, Distort
I wish the Donald would just follow the rules! the etiquette, the manners, the morals! what he is doing is not ok... he's got Elon rummaging our institutions clearing and gutting with nothing to put in place of it? this is a successful businessman??
further? our country is not designed to run it like a retail business. Our Queens Mob Boss Donald has his henchmen Cartoon character Elon screwing people and he really thinks he's done nothing wrong? so annoying racketeering is not ok...!!
Trump does not care. All he does is eat, play golf, and waste tax payer's money. He is lazy! He delegates everything, so when something goes awry, he claims not knowing about it, or blaming someone else. He doesn't accept responsibility or accountability that the buck stops at him. He is a weak, feloneous, vile, lying piss poor definition of a man, let alone a president. He is the devil incarnate.
💯 You're right as rain, Ms. Barbara!!!
Exactly right Barbara. After all these years playing golf, he's so bad that he still has to cheat to win. That's a reflection on the rest of his life. Unfortunately his dysfunction is directly affecting the rest of the world. Stay strong. 💪
I cannot wrap my head around why anyone would want to be associated with traitor dictator felon Trump, let alone vote and support him, too.

DT continues to show his lack of intelligence every time he speaks. He has zero control over what Canada and Europe chooses how and with who they do business with. Love you Ben and Charlie! 🇨🇦 🍁 ❤️
Elbows Up, Canada! Sock it to us.
Let’s all remember that every Trump action since taking office is aimed at one thing: The fulfillment of Vladmir Putin’s wishes.
Threatening neighbors. Undermining NATO. Ruinous tariffs. Ransacking critical federal agencies. Disrupting essential foreign aid programs. Taking Russia’s side in its aggression against Ukraine. Check, check, check, check, check, check, and check!
These all contribute to Putin’s goal of retaliation against the west for the failure of the Soviet Union.
TRUMP IS FOLLOWING ORDERS FROM PUTIN.
That is the only answer that makes any sense He is owned lock stock and barrel by Putin. American voters have signed their own death warrant by voting Trump in. I wonder when they’ll wake up to what they did.
You know even MAGA approves of Putin and is ok with Trump’s actions, I don’t think they understand that Putin doesn’t like America and them and his goal is to destroy their lives and make them miserable living in a dystopian society
And so are we! Take that hip-check, high stick and and pick up your veneers Donnie boy! 💙🇺🇲🇨🇦💙💪💪💪🏒

Thank you Meidas Touch for covering Canada 🇨🇦
How will tRump blame Biden now? He’ll blame someone. Maybe Musk
They're doing very little blaming Biden. The actions are too darn visible; the damage will be too darn visible.
He's already blamed Rubio. As TSHTF he'll find someone else. It's his way. I'm interested to learn how Stefanik is taking getting her dream job snatched! Is she celebrating being told to fall on her sword for her "king?" Dumb broad. She and others like her are all going to get shafted when the dismantling becomes to obvious to ignore. Rats off the ship first--probably led by Miss Lindsey Flip Flopper!!!
I do believe it will be the MAGA voters (not the billionaire ones!) who will finally see the light and say "enough". Or maybe not. Cult behavior is hard to comprehend and deal with. But I do think it'll be his own supporters who do this craziness in. They're already feeling uncertain about the chaos. It won't seem entertaining once prices go through the roof and supply chains collapse. At least that's my hope.
Excellent deduction and, I agree.
The key is national security. He's being ca;led out by many Congressional Republicans. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3r8d7q0200o
Also courts. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5220772-republican-senators-warn-impeachment-judge-boasberg/
Good stuff, eh?
Ben, thanks for representing the real Americans...folks who are decent.
How about Canada invite the New England states and maybe more to join and be their next province(s)? I'm not kidding, although the law doesn't allow secession. However, if elon/trump are lawless, why not us? If the elon era is going to last long, our country will be unrecognizable and I'll be doing what a branch of my family didn't do in the 1930s in Austria. We could fight from the outside.
The counterbalance of the states is the last resistance to Trump. If blue and honorful red states work together, they can hopefully stop the great dictator in WH.
Trump doesn’t”t know what he’s doing!
Virginia Murphy
I wish that were true. However, destroying us is his agenda.
Brooke, he knows. There's many government agencies he's tearing apart. Even now, private organizations. The maga threats against judges who put a hold on his agenda. Going after media. He is attacking us.
This is intentional. He's ripping usa apart while he and his friends are finically ripping us off. His goals are more power, and so far they are working.
He has no agency of his own.
Thank you for better Canadian coverage than any homegrown networks.
I stand with Canada. I am so sorry and also sad.
"Supposedly ‘pro-life’ president cool with pregnant women getting beaten.
President Donald Trump, a self-proclaimed “protector” of women, is showing where he truly stands as his administration quietly withdraws research funding aimed at safeguarding pregnant women from their abusers.
Last week, the Trump administration cut the grant allegedly because it was categorized as a study related to “diversity, equity, and inclusion”—something his administration has been hell-bent on eliminating, since he returned to the White House—according to HuffPost, which broke the news on Thursday." (Daily Kos)......
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/3/30/2313133/-Supposedly-pro-life-president-cool-with-pregnant-women-getting-beaten
Well said. The blatant stupidity of women that voted for a repulsive adulterer/rapist/womanizer/ felon/ porn star humper ( while wife home with new baby) /violent lawless terrorist leader shows the rock bottom lack of common sense and decency Americans have sunk to.🏴☠️😵💫 I voted for the Christian choice, Kamala! 🕊️
"The war on women has new momentum now that MAGA is back in power, and it could ultimately lead to American women losing the right to vote, argued a senior writer at Salon.
Amanda Marcotte wrote in Wednesday's piece that Donald Trump's success in repealing Roe — the landmark 1973 decision that gave women automony over their own bodies — has emboldened right-wing factions looking to strip women of even more rights.
Marcotte posted that "many on the right feel they no longer need to hide the naked sexism fueling their movement or put up with the annoyance of women in even token leadership positions," now that Trump is once again in charge.
"Forty-five percent of female voters backed Trump in 2024, despite his overt misogyny," Marcotte wrote. "Most, no doubt, believed that complicity would protect them, and that the attacks would be centered on other women. But while the GOP certainly wants to strip liberal and feminist women of their rights, male MAGA leaders are showing increasing interest in bringing Republican women to heel, both culturally and through the force of law." (RAW STORY)
I am so heartbroken with regard especially to our dear Canadian friends. Mr Angus a true statesman and eloquent orator. I’m so thankful we have a connection through Meidas. I loved my country but now I’m embarrassed and scared to its core. How in the world have we come to such a decaying point? American voters WAKE UP …. The hour is late💔🇨🇦. FORGIVE US CANADA AND ALL OUR SCORNED ALLIES.
Elbows Up! Great interview!!!
Can someone pleeeze tell Trump that Europe isn't a country.?
He's also never recognized Canada as 10 Provinces. Daddy bought his education. His sister took his SAT test. He probably doesn't know how to read a map. It's just real estate that he covets.
Wouldn't do any good. He doesn't read or do anything else to increase his knowledge or brain power.
https://substack.com/@techiam
Charlie. What a wonderful way to put things. Please run again. Canada needs leadership like you.
Everything that trump touches turns to crap | he’s a horrible businessman | who bankrupts a casino | I’m ready to move to Canada | I can bring my pension and social security with me if trump doesn’t steal that as well as my social work credentials and tracing experience as an Adjunct Professor of sociology and psychology | I can be productive in Canada!
This American farmer feels the same way. They've proven that they don't want me to live here.
Exactly
Trump is insane. He needs to be removed.
Thank you for your continued coverage and support of us here in Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you Ben and Charlie!
I will be only traveling to the US maybe one more time because of my mom. Pains my ❤️. But after that never again until he is gone. Ben,Jody, and Brett I have recommended the MTN to my daughter as a good source for news.
I send love to Canada from Sweden!❤️❤️❤️
Love our Canadian friends. Do what you need to do!!! Fuck Cheetolini!!
Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing! Brooke
He knows what he's doing. He's producing and acting in a reality show. Raking in the billions. He loves chaos, meanness and destruction. Wonder what would happen if the MSM would pretty much ignore him. No televised speeches (Fox didn't seem to feel it their duty to televise a lot of Biden's speeches. Just 5 minutes of airtime an hour to give us the headlines. Oh, and let that segment's advertiser be erection pumps. Sorry! I simply can't help myself!
Love Charlie! Can'twait to go to Canada & spend my money there!

Check reports that trump is using tariffs as a smokescreen to get costs up and is instead going to announce on Wed that he is dissolving the Fed and going to go back to the Gold Standard to “lower costs”…also dig into who has been buying gold since Nov. and would enrich themselves further
Haven't heard anything recently about trump and musk going to Fort Knox. Did they clean it out yet?
very interesting comment. sheds a whole new light on 47s promise to bring back ‘the golden age’.
I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Angus. He brought the beef! Thank you, Maple Mighty

Thank you Ben and everyone at Meidas Touch. Your interview with Prime Minister Charlie Angus was terrific. It is heartbreaking to hear how much our administration has destroyed our standing in the world.
What Charlie says is true. We are so disappointed in the U.S., to put it mildly. Trump and his gang ruined a very unique relationship. We’re also worried, as we watch them dismantle the world order. Please check Howard Storm’s predictions re. Americas’s bleak future. I normally don’t believe in predictions, but his seem to be definitely coming true. Also, he said that no country will come to America’s aid, and I can now imagine why.
This is more than Donald Trump. This is an elbows up to dictators and autocrats around the globe. I'm marching in Oakland Ca this Saturday, and we are going to win this fight against the global gangsters. We owe it to ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.
Can we buy a Canadian Citizenship? American's will pay to come live there! We will bring our skills and pay Canadian Taxes. There is so much we can learn from Canada/Canadians!
Done with this criminal since 2016 but I see our low educated voters aren't though, what are we to do?
P.S. I DIDN'T VOTE FOR A CRIMINAL AND THOUGHT OUR CITIZENS HAD ALSO DONE THE SAME GUESS I WAS WRONG!
Everything we can. We do everything we can and support everyone else who is doing everything they can. Here are a bunch of suggestions if you need any.
Join A Group – Start A Group – Then Network!
If you want to join an established group, then look at the links below. If you are part of a group I do not publish, please let me know so I can include it. Please do not wait for some leader to pop up and tell us all what to do.
If you cannot find a group, then form one and take action in your local area, keeping safety in mind, of course. When you take action, report it. Spread pictures, videos, write-ups, whatever all over the Internet in every media that will take it. If the horses won’t come to the water, we will take the water to the horses and when they are thirsty for ratings, they will drink!
Then network with the other groups to and build a coalition that no one can ignore. We are all in this together – sink or swim! Get involved because we are all involved and all impacted. Go Team Go!
You want a TOWN HALL MEETING? Don’t Wait for A Leader!
Set up a Town Hall Meeting without your representative. Hold the meeting and let everyone share. Take notes/meeting minutes. Send a copy of the official Meeting Minutes to their offices. Post them in newspapers and on every social media or other media you can. Make sure to put at the top who the representative was that did not show and where the town hall meeting was held. Then just report on what happened and all the concerns and questions. Hold these meetings weekly or regularly. Keep the pressure on even if they want to hide and pretend we/you all do not matter!
Then go out and contact a Democrat in your State and invite them to come talk in your district to answer questions. I will bet you they will show up!
Get started today!

Trump is a gangsta' and a dicktator! JD is Justa' Dick!
"Netanyahu Promises the “Final Stage” of Gaza Genocide Will Lead to Implementation of “Trump’s Plan".

I am so appalled and worried about how quickly universities, law firms, etc rolled over and gave up. How could anyone support masked thugs grabbing targeted people, families, children, students, visitors and kidnapping and disappearing them without any proof of wrongdoing and due process. Then Noem posing in front of caged people…. Outrageous - despicable - inhumane! The orange regime and every single enabler must go!
Well done Canada. Do what you have to do. There are lots of other countries will trade with you. Elbows up canada
I'm so done with dumpster ! He is nothing but a bully plus all the other horrible things he has done ! And behind him is a regime of incompetent, spineless asshat douchebags ! Dumpster threatening other countries about disobeying his mandates ! Who the fuck does he think he is ! Dumpster , you and your regime are feckless , vile and will not succeed because , guess what , you are nothing and will fail like everything else you have tried to do ! You are a failure and that is what you will be remembered for !
Thanks for this, Ben. I'm sorry, Canada, this is not the people of the United States. It's just the nasty ass people in the Republican government we have. Some of my ancestors came from Canada to both New York and Michigan and your country has been on my bucket list. Now, because of our stupid government, I have to wait to see where they lived and enjoy your great country. To be sure, we cannot blame your country for working to save yourselves.
I love Charlie Angus! He just says it like it is. trump is so screwed!!!!
You can’t put Canada in a box and isolate like Trump wants the US to be. We need a proactive strong message.
He is so psychotic keep bringing the tariffs on nobody gives a s***.
Thank you Canada, we’re watching and cheering you/Europe on. Maple Meidas 👏.
Half this nation bought the grift , too many supported the disinformation and our glimmer of hope is they all sink together.
Signs double daily of this debacle and we take a sense of pride seeing you standing and build better above the fray.
🇺🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇪🇺
I stand with Canada 🇨🇦 keep the pressure on. tRump needs to learn he can't threaten other countries and get away with it
Charlie Angus is an awesome friend to those of us who see and understand the tyrant who is ruining our nation.
Good for you Canada!!!! We The American People are done with Trump and his authoritarian regime as well. Most of us didn't vote for trump or any of his policies at all. We know that he's a CONVICTED FELON, an adjudicated rapist, a grifter, a pathological liar, and a traitor to our entire nation as a whole. We don't support this regime at all and we're fighting back as well. Thank you very much Canada for having our backs. We salute you and stand with you in solidarity
Don't vote for grifters. And, don't vote for Republicans who support them. I'm no genius but even I not only saw it coming but posted extensively about it on the sites on which I participate, long before the election. Sadly, my predictions came true. The party of Eisenhower has sunk to almost unbelievable depths of, well, depravity.
Trump: He is a mob boss who cares only what the syndicate of criminals agree to further there domination of world market, as we have Brick bank as a money laundering institution at the will fund those who are in connection with the Organization.
SCOTUS John Roberts needs to backtrack and redeem himself, after allowing Trump complete immunity, to be above the law. Because of this, Trump is now trying to impeach judges. Judge Roberts rebuked this. How long will it be before Trump runs all over Judge Roberts+, or tries to impeach him? Judge Roberts didn't think that far enough ahead about this happening.
Trump does not care. All he does is eat, play golf, and waste tax payer's money. He is lazy! He delegates everything, so when something goes awry, he claims not knowing about it, or blaming someone else. He doesn't accept responsibility or accountability that the buck stops at him. He is a weak, feloneous, vile, lying piss poor definition of a man, let alone a president. He is the devil incarnate.
You are a blessing to decent respecters of truth and integrity, Ben & Mr. Angus. And my deepest apologies to our wonderful northern neighbors who have bravely kicked the OLD deranged felon/ terrorist leader in his place - the gutter where bullies should live. 👏🇨🇦
Trump won’t explain anything he will deny everything and he will say that America is great again and he will say everyone is happy with him😡Narcissistic live in a falsified reality and will never admit true reality it’s not in their brain😡
I'll be interested to see if the April Social Security payments go out. It's part of the R plan, crash the system and then call for "privatizing" Social Security. Trillions of $$ in that trust fund, just waiting to be looted. But when those payments stop, THAT is when the shit will hit the fan.
In the meantime I will be sending my tax filings in on paper via certified mail and making any necessary payments by certified check. Prepare for chaos as best you can.
News Flash, the only harm coming to the United States is coming from Trump and Musk! No other country, NO other person or party is the cause of this insanity! Why America's Military is allowing this is a mystery. All members of our military swore, SWORE AN OATH to protect our constitution and our country from all enemies both foreign and domestic. MASSIVE FAIL ON THEIR DUTY ! All cowards now, All NAZI collaborators now! Sad and so disgusting! Canada is done with us because We are DONE! Any one can see that except for MAGAT MORONS!
Elbows Up Canada! The vast majority of us in the USA are cheering you on and applaud your commitment to law, fairness, sovereignty, and ethics that are SORELY LACKING here rn
With friends like U.S., who needs enemies? 🥺
Thank you Canada for standing up to the 🍊💩dictator!
So many great comments from Canada! "We will not kiss the ring." I wish more American law firms and the thugs in Congress would stop kissing it.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is an inspiring leader. Such a poised intelligent speech.
Americans citizens are deeply offended of this regime.
I apologize to Canada. I wear an elbows up tshirt with pride and hope we can find the strength to resist this authoritarian regime.
Charlie loves his country and it's citizens. Trump loves money and cruelty.
Elbows up! 🇨🇦 ❤️
Yet, there are those who believe Trump is doing the right thing. "We don't need them." What he is doing collapsing our economy. A friend, who is MAGA, and has lost his job, I've told him he can kiss his unemployment away. I've told my wife to stay away from the USA. Frankly, I don't know if I can travel freely and I'm a US citizen.
Knew the writing on the wall from Trump’s first administration…Couldn’t get thru to a couple of family members but I imagine now that they know I am right….Truth always prevails
SCOTUS John Roberts needs to backtrack and redeem himself, after allowing Trump complete immunity, to be above the law. Because of this, Trump is now trying to impeach judges. Judge Roberts rebuked this. How long will it be before Trump runs all over Judge Roberts+, or tries to impeach him? Judge Roberts didn't think that far enough ahead about this happening.
Like I've said all along Canada Mexico Europe need to unite and united they will destroy the Mega party. It will open door to throwing out Trump and rest of idiots so we can get back to rebuilding what he has destroyed.
Never forget how we got here - 50 years of neoliberalism, with the corporatist, establishment Democrats and Republicans economically pillaging the middle class and poor to further enrich themselves, their billionaire donors, and to fund the pathological military-industrial complex. As in declining civilizations before us, greed and the lust for power has rotted us from within.
Now, as the GOP has died and the MAGAts have risen with their fascist dictator, it is up to the Dems alone to realize the incredible harm they've done, change course, and fight like hell. The MAGAts already control Congress, so they are now threatening the judicial branch and going hard after voting rights. Watch as they attempt to suppress the vote in every sneaky, subversive, and illegal way possible.
This means we've got to work even harder to make sure we get every citizen to vote,
since that is our only peaceful way back to power. But we also need to step up and find a way to get even more involved. A mass of people phone banking for a progressive candidate even one hour a week, for example, can make the difference in an election, and I can tell you from experience that it gives you a real sense of personal empowerment. And it's something you can do for any candidate no matter where you live.
Complaining does nothing, and there is no one to save us. It is up to WE, THE PEOPLE to save ourselves. Have courage, resist tyranny, and please get involved and take some kind of real action. We need you!
That's where you're wrong Charlie. You are a leader. You not only give Canadians direction in how to stand up to the U.S. I'm sure it gives them a sense of pride to know that the leaders of their country are not going to bow down to a narcissistic bully blowhard like Donald Trump. Our Republicans in Congress not only bow down to him, they praise him for hurting people. They are despicable, but they are just like him. They only care about themselves. Thank you Charlie and Canada for showing others how to stand up and fight against the Trump regime.
I eat a lot of KIND products which are made in Canada. I placed a large order today before the tariffs begin..
Perfect quote from Angus, damn shame we’re seeing so much butt kissing here. I don’t blame Canada a bit, and, in truth, I hope the decisions they’ve made hit our country hard as that should be another wake up call.

This is so sad. Canada this message is for you as a whole country! We, Americans, are done with Dump as well.
So very sad - my family loves Canada. We’ve visited many times. I think I want to move there. The spirit and values of the Canadian people far better align with my own than this country I used to call home. Soo sad 😭
Thank you Charlie Angus for the straight talk to Americans....we are so sorry and I hope you will welcome the Americans who will travel to Canada to support you and your economy. Come on Americans....when you visit Canada you will not want to come home!
Kristen, my husband and I toured Vancouver Island in 2023 and we were enthralled by the BEAUTY and CLEANLINESS. I want to encourage you to investigate the countless opportunities to explore Canada….beautiful cities, magnificent outdoor spaces and great people await your arrival.
We were going to travel to Canada but I told my husband to hold off. I just don’t know what kind of reception we might get.
Things look dark, but stay strong, stay engaged, don’t give up. Am Jamaica, Canadian, soon to be Norwegian. But I love Americans, love to travel to the US, love better than bullion, love Saxon and everything about it’s people and country. Despite what’s happening now am not giving up. It may seem dark, it may seem like hope is gone. But remember the political sun 🌞 cometh in the morning. I don’t know if it will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next month, next year or the midterms, but it’s going to happen. I won’t give up, as an you, all Americans, who has brain will not. Keep up the fight nd am sure you all will be smiling again and we all the people, in Europe will be smiling again. Hugz
Thank you MP Charlie Angus for standing strong for your country. Elbows UP!

My question is in all of the orange turds decisions: what exactly is his end game? Where is all of this going to end? He thinks he is all powerful and no one is arresting him for all of the laws that he is breaking. Where is law enforcement? Why is he getting away with this stuff?
Because we have an Ivanka wanna be in the DOJ and there is no one in charge to give the orders to arrest anyone.

Elbows up! Canada! This American is not giving up!
Thank you for your update Ben.
I was very disgusted to see MSNBC not only fired these two very competent people who worked so hard similar to you and your brothers to speak the truth everyday.
Both Joy Reid and Ari Melber maybe two to interview as well on your show...?
Exactly why these two were fired is very suspicious as well. Allegedly there's a new
female producer... 🤔🤔
But, this smells too much like garbage CHUMP's or HIS sycophants have been up to or doing!
ENOUGH ALREADY!
HIS big celebration for April 2nd when these idiotic tarriffs alegedly begin will be a huge disappointment to them all, as US Citizens have planned our own celebration!!
As always, thank you again!
P.S. it was very refreshing to learn a female turned down MUSKRAT's offer to her for one million!!
Update: It would seem as though MSNBC E.g: Ari Melber was "away and out of the office last week." But, oddly it seems as though some have had their broadcast hours cut back??
FFOD FOR THOUGHT:
Ari Melber, Esq would still be a great interview to have if he's agreeable. He's very good at interviewing pertinent leaders out there. His resources to interview is impeccable.
Thanks again for your updates...

Love Canada 🇨🇦 and Ben!!!
Donald Trump doesn't represent the real USA with its democratic traditions. He contradicts the cultural heritage and wealth of his nation, as Hitler did to Austria's and German cultural and political traditions.
Hopefully, when Americans will have learned the lesson, they'll return to democracy.
Charlie Angus is a national treasure! Canadians grateful to have him by our side during these challenging times. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Together we will weather this storm #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp
“We thought we were safe.” That line sticks.
Charlie Angus isn’t just raising an alarm—he’s naming the drift so many democracies are feeling but haven’t fully faced. The slow normalization of hate, the weaponizing of faith, the decay of shared truth… it doesn’t always arrive with sirens. Sometimes it shows up in suits and slogans.
This piece isn’t about Canada alone. It’s a mirror. And a quiet call to stay vigilant, stay human, and refuse to let apathy become policy.
Generational revenge. Thanks to Donald's grandfather, who was stopped by Canadian Mounties from establishing his Gold Rush saloons in their provinces.
Read the book about Donald's grandfather, Freiderich Drumpf (Frederick Trump), "The Trumps: Three Generations of Builders And a Presidential Candidate", by Gwenda Blair (2001) Simon & Schuster.
"In 1891, Trump moved to Seattle, Washington. With his life savings of several hundred dollars, he bought supplies, such as tables, chairs, and a range, and purchased the Poodle Dog, which he renamed the Dairy Restaurant. Located at 208 Washington Street, the Dairy Restaurant was in the middle of Seattle’s Red Light District; Washington Street was nicknamed "the Line" and included an assortment of saloons, casinos, and brothels. Blair, the biographer, called it "a hotbed of sex, booze, and money, was the indisputable center of the action in Seattle." The restaurant served food and liquor and was advertised to include "Rooms for Ladies", a common euphemism for prostitution."
"In the spring of 1898, Trump and another miner named Ernest Levin opened a tent restaurant along the trail. Blair wrote that "a frequent dish was fresh-slaughtered, quick-frozen horse".
"In May 1898, Trump and Levin moved to Bennett, British Columbia, a town known for prospectors building boats in order to travel to Dawson. In Bennett, Trump and Levin opened the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, which offered fine dining and lodging in a sea of tents. The Arctic was originally housed in a tent itself, but demand for the hotel and restaurant grew until it occupied a two-story building. When describing the Arctic in a letter to the Yukon Sun newspaper, [a journalist?] wrote: "For single men the Arctic has excellent accommodations as well as the best restaurant in Bennett, but I would not advise respectable women to go there to sleep as they are liable to hear that which would be repugnant to their feelings – and uttered, too, by the depraved of their own sex." The Arctic House was one of the largest and most decadent restaurants in that region of the Klondike, offering fresh fruit and ptarmigan in addition to the staple of horsemeat. The Arctic was open 24 hours a day and advertised "Rooms for ladies," which included beds and scales for measuring gold dust. The local Mounties were known to tolerate vice so long as it was conducted discreetly."
"In 1900, the 150-mile-long White Pass and Yukon Route, a railroad between Bennett and Whitehorse, Yukon, was completed, allowing Trump to establish the White Horse Restaurant and Inn in Whitehorse. They moved the building by barge, relocated on Front Street, and were operational by June. The new restaurant, which included one of the largest steel ranges in the area, prepared 3,000 meals per day and now included gambling. Despite the enormous financial success, Trump and Levin began fighting due to Levin’s drinking. They broke their business relationship in February 1901, but reconciled in April."
"Around that time, the local government announced suppression on prostitution, gambling and liquor, though the crackdown was delayed by businesspeople until later that year. In light of this impending threat to his business operation, Trump sold his share of the restaurant to Levin and left the Yukon. In the months that followed, Levin was arrested for public drunkenness and sent to jail, and the Arctic was taken over by the Mounties. Blair wrote that "once again, in a situation that created many losers, [Trump] managed to emerge a winner".
Feckless Tariff Man threatened what?
Thanks for this information. Go Charlie Angus. I'm so proud that you are one of our MPs.
It bothered me that at the Juno Awards Michael Bublé announced We’re (Canada) the greatest country on earth. Yes we have lots to be proud about. But we dislike Americans when they spout that boastful stuff.
Charlie- we Americans don't understand what is happening either.
Just disgusting and embarrassing
More cards for Carney to use with Trump. 5 Eyes. Procurement for building military jets. Trump won’t listen to the truth about his mistakes, Trump is too arrogant! Just keep handing him pathways to ALLOW him to show up. We need to use our power positivity!
With friends like the current U.S. government, who needs enemies?
Our friends are all mad at us and our enemies are laughing and rubbing there hands together in glee. Not our finest moment.

tRump IS deeply offensive.
Elbows UP^ have NO choice but to make decisions that stand for Rule of Law.
tRump and his ilk are such a very tragically ill lot.
From Wisconsin: Elbows up Canada! You have a huge group of family and friends here who will never call him our president. We stand with you and what you need to do to keep your beautiful country marching forward in prosperity and democracy
Canadian here!
I love Charlie Angus; he’s a true inspiration here. I listen to him and my spirits rise.
Elbows up like Gordie! Canada we always support you.
Thank u from the bottom of this Canadians heart ❤️ for fighting with us & bringing this bulling from trump to the fore-front!! ❤️❤️❤️ go Charlie & Ben/brothers!!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great response from Canada! Canada--cut us off! We need to be economically humbled. Money is the only thing that talks in the US.
Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in Energy engineering. America elected a barely sentient turnip.
No one wants to be in Trump’s sandbox.
I'm so proud to be a Canadian!
Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in Energy engineering. America elected a barely sentient turnip.
If I could I would move to Canada
I am so a shamed of The USA RIGHT NOW
Canada has it exactly right. We don’t deserve respect or trust. Stand your ground, Canada. 🇨🇦
we stand with Canada!!
Charlie, and Ben, that's the thing! There are so many Canadians and Americans that share loved ones! Family members, Dear friends! Please stop hurting the working people of North America. US is now excluded from the World. Heart breaking to all and the orange ghoul and his gremlins don't seem to understand that THEY WILL NOT SUCCEED!
Love me or I will make you suffer. Trump
The only thing a bully understands is strength! I’m with Canada! 🇨🇦
Thank you for standing up to him!
Love that MP Angus calls trump Donald. FIGHT Canada, FIGHT! Donald may have started this fight, but Canada, Mexico and NATO allies can finish it.
I look forward to joining you in this fight!
That worthless old demented pervert rapist must go .
I looked it up. "Nous sommes maîtres chez nous" = We are the masters in our own home. I love Ben's characterization of Banker vs Bankrupter. Thank you Charlie for doing the townhall equivalent in Canada which is very important for Canada's upcoming federal election. Carney is the adult in the room, and he knows how to calmly handle the tantrum-throwing toddler Trump. Poilievre is MAGA-mini-me; he has no policies and only 3-word slogans and name calling. His proposed solution to everything is tax cuts. He literally just changed "America First" to "Canada First" and continues to parrot MAGA talking points as he has been doing for years. Now that his Trump affiliation is tanking his polls he doesn't know what to do and is throwing tantrums and begging Trump for help.
I love you and your countrymen, Charlie. Thank you for standing up to Trump.
Love you, Charlie! Though I KNOW it will hurt us, I cheer Canada and other countries finding purchase without the US. Maybe if things start to actually come to bear on the lives of tRump's supporters things will change. Elbows Up!!!!
BINGO Charlie!
More than half of us Americans are hostages to this regime.
My state borders Canada. We 🫶 You ALL
Pierre Poilievre and his party would like nothing more than to turn Canada into the US.
Google “Extremist Candidates Welcomed on Poilievre’s Team” by The Tyee. I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate for me to put links here to outside news sources.
It is critically important every Canadian knows exactly what the Cons in Canada want for us, and make sure to get out and vote! Everyone stay strong. We are all in this together on a global level.
I’m hoping you’ll release some Maple Meidas merch soon. That will be my one exception to converting my Canadian $ to American $.
The whole point of everything he's doing to Canada is to invade us and steal our country.tariff isnt his favorite word, EXTORTION is his favorite word, if you look at what he's doing to the lawyers etc etc its extortion! all his threats are extortion, a shakedown Hes got a 100% criminal mind and no soul. This tariff crap is an attempt at weakening us to make it easier to take our country, and I don't hear any shock or disgust from your media or the American people, except a few exceptions, like here. God bless Ben and the boys! And I like how they throw around the term, annexation lol Its the same as putan taking Ukraine! Annex my ass! You will have war if he trys to invade,or do anything else to Canada.I expect a false flag operation as a pretense to invasion. The US public is complacent and asleep. Your all making all this so easy for Nazi Musk and Trump,except Meidas who has been battling Trump every day for years. All of you are heroes. Popok should do stand up. Your all great. Thank you, from Canada!
Charlie Angus thankyou as an American for standing up to Trump. Ben thanks for another great quick video. I am so ashamed of the US and what we have become. I live in Buffalo NY and our bridge to Ft Erie Ontario built 100 years ago and recently rebuilt is named the Peace Bridge to our former great friendship between Canada and the US.
Maple Maga refers to Pierre Polivière. NOT to Carney, Angus and the liberals.
What I hear when the old Lump and his flying monkeys speak -

Political Censorship and Free Speech Living in a Police State
Nazis have long been concerned about being silenced and not being able to express their conservative opinions So the diatribes go….being bullied, “thought police” But it’s not that they have been silenced it’s just that their opinions are often so outrageous that they are laughable eg Fox and Friends
So there is a Nazi attack on free speech If the Nazis don’t like what you say then it’s not free speech Complete HYPOCRISY
It’s not about free speech it’s about their protected speech….the Nazi free speech of propaganda
Networks should lose their FCC licenses Judges with differing opinions should be impeached Banning news organizations who don’t go along with the Nazi talking points Going after law firms that don’t favor the regime’s propaganda line Students with green cards who protest with differing opinions should be thrown out of the country because “they are agitators who don’t love our country” Universities should lose federal grant money if they dare speak out against the Nazi regime Take over the Kennedy Center for Continuing Arts to even control the art’s free speech and have only shows that are deemed “appropriate”
But billionaire/oligarchic Nazis protect social media such as X, Meta, and Tik Tok because it’s algorithmic, simply a machine that directs your attention It’s planned Nazi propaganda And it’s not free speech Billionaires are literally rewiring our thinking to solidify their power grab
This is what it looks like living in a dictatorship in the 21st century Fox channel is the only channel available and X will be the social media platform WAKE UP AMERICA To journalists speak truth even if it’s not neutral No one can hide anymore

Our Queens Mob Boss supports firing workers last Valentines Day? have we figured Amy Gleason's role yet? or is it just dodging with the DOGE? farming our DATA for Elons new plan with DATA Central Texas? Eliminating Federal Contracts that he feels are not necessary? or impacts his business ventures! so many lost their jobs with the ultimate plan to point and then privatize!! That Donald is so Vulgar with his Crisis making shutting down fed agencies over night? accountability NOW!!
Elon is reported to have found hardly anything of his examination of Federal Agencies! so what has he done? taking our Data? firing Federal workers! aligning contracts in his favor! eliminating Federal legal action towards his Company's.
What has the Donald done to enforce the laws of our land? only the ones that favor himself! Elon bought the Donald! and he continues to pay him with money and loyalty.... And we all our paying for this dearly!! its time for them both to leave, they're intentionally wrecking what we have! it's all about them!!
I suspect the Donald does not understand options.. my guess is his billionaire loyalists do.!! interesting how he announced buy for his DJT and then I read this morning theirs a coincidence with some Options calling?
We know MTG was observed buying bonds just before the Donald announced he was going to tariff so? that crosses the line! Remember Martha Steward going to jail for much less? so annoying!! we need to impeach this loose bowel ass hole!!
Donald tells a reporter she's "stupid" obviously that's projection. this? after he's returning from a million $ plate candlelight dinner he hosted! so he's using his role to grift, he's playing golf and hosting a tournament.. wanna bet there is some behind the scenes racketeering? of course he's a Queens Mob Boss! a stupid one at that!!
"Trump’s Terrifying Tariff-Taxes!"
(The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, April 5, 2025,
with Heather Lofthouse and yours truly, Robert Reich)......

"67,000 seniors could die. Local media must report the truth."
"They have already cut Social Security. Not in theory. Not someday. It’s happening now. Under orders from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the Social Security Administration has been gutted, offices closed, staff slashed, benefits delayed, and lives destroyed.
But that’s not the worst of it.
A new report from Senator Bernie Sanders warns that if these cuts go forward, up to 67,000 people could die waiting for disability and retirement benefits.[1]
Let that sink in: tens of thousands of Americans, dead, not because of war, not because of illness, but because they were forced to wait over 400 days for a decision on the benefits they paid into their entire lives.
This is a humanitarian disaster. It’s deliberate. And it’s being carried out by a billionaire with zero experience running a government agency, empowered by a twice-impeached con man, whose only goal is to destroy the social safety net and hand our futures over to Wall Street.
And yet... the media’s essentially silent. Your local TV stations? Newspapers? Online news feeds? Nothing. The collapse of the most successful government program in American history is unfolding in real time, and most people don’t even know it’s happening.
Ask your local media to report on the impact of Social Security cuts already. Lives are on the line. Social Security is being sabotaged. Take action now.
The Social Security crisis is no longer theoretical, it’s measurable in human lives.
Sanders’ report cites internal SSA data and expert analysis. The Musk-backed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is aiming to eliminate 50% of SSA staff.
That would lead to catastrophic delays: a 412-day average wait for disability decisions. Thousands will die while the system “processes” their existence. This is Trump’s plan. This is Musk’s dream. A smaller government, not because it’s more efficient, but because it doesn’t serve the poor, the elderly, or the vulnerable at all.
A disabled woman from California put it bluntly in testimony cited by Senator Sanders: if she can't prove she’s "sick enough,” she fears she'll be forced to work herself into an early grave, just to survive.
The media must report that this is happening now, not IF cuts happen in the future.
Local editors and TV producers need to hear from us. Urge them to report the truth about what Trump and Musk are doing to Social Security now -- before it’s too late.
Thank you for refusing to stay silent."

"'Unhappy' Trump was blindsided by Elon Musk's Pentagon plans."
"A meeting Elon Musk, scheduled with Pentagon officials in March, was scheduled without Donald Trump's knowledge causing friction between the two, reports the Wall Street Journal.
As part of a deep dive into the relationship between the tech billionaire and the president that Musk had a large hand in getting re-elected, the Journal's Josh Dawsey, Annie Linskey, Brian Schwartz, and Dana Mattioli report that tensions within the White House between Musk and staffers led the president to instruct chief of staff Susie Wiles to take control of the situation."

"A convicted drug dealer, whose sentence President Donald Trump commuted is back behind bars, after he was charged with assaulting a 3-year-old child and violating his supervised release, The New York Times reported Friday.
It was the fifth time Jonathan Braun has been arrested, since Trump commuted his 10-year sentence as he left office in 2021, according to the report. The decision came as a “last-minute” clemency request that made its way to the president through Braun’s family connection with Charles Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner, the Times added."

"CNN unloaded a devastating supercut of clips of Donald Trump declaring, on the campaign trail, he'd never golf because he'd be so busy — as the president once again leaves Washington, D.C., to hit the links.
As markets continued nosediving due to his steep tariffs, Trump departed the nation's capital and arrived at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday morning. The president planned to attend a $1 million-a-plate fundraising dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate Friday evening, and host an LIV Golf tournament at his Doral property over the weekend."

"A big “f*ck off” to the judiciary?"
"Two months into Donald Trump’s disaster of a presidency, people keep asking me: “Have we hit rock bottom yet? It can’t actually get worse, can it?”
My answer, sadly, is no. We haven’t hit rock bottom. In fact, Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law appear to be only escalating.
Federal agents are snatching up students, who are legally in the U.S., for exercising their free speech. Court orders are being defied with impunity. Entire government agencies authorized by Congress have been illegally gutted.
This is the behavior of a lawless tyrant, not a president of the United States.
But friends, the American people do not want to be ruled by an authoritarian dictator, and Inequality Media Civic Action is helping to fuel the emerging pro-democracy backlash, by using our massive following across social media to explain what Trump is doing, and why it’s so dangerous. It’s working, but we need to ramp it up before it’s too late.
Will you make a monthly donation to help educate the public and halt Trump’s authoritarian assault on our democracy?
The core principle of the U.S. Constitution is the separation of powers. We have three coequal branches of government, none more powerful than the others. (Executive, Judicial, and Legislative.)
Congress makes the law. The courts interpret the law. The executive branch enforces the law. If the president refuses to obey judicial rulings or court orders, then the entire delicate balance of power comes undone.
This is the slippery slope to dictatorship that the founders warned could be the undoing of the republic.
And make no mistake: If Trump can disappear people legally in the U.S. on student visas, or dozens of Venezuelan migrants without due process, then he can do it to anyone.
I don’t believe that Americans want this. They did not vote to become a dictatorship. But with MAGA-aligned billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg controlling so much of what people see and hear about Trump, too many Americans simply aren’t getting the facts about what’s really happening.
That’s where Inequality Media Civic Action comes in. We’re sounding the alarm to our millions of followers across social media, educating as many as possible about what’s at stake, and it’s working.
Our shares, views, and engagement have skyrocketed since Trump was sworn in, allowing us to reach millions of people beyond our core audience and break through to the broad public. On YouTube alone, the “watch time” of our videos is up a remarkable 10x from one year ago.
But facing Trump’s rapid descent into dictatorship, we need to do even more to warn the American people and mobilize them to take action before it’s too late to stop him."

"We’re taking Donald Trump to court."
"In the dead of night, Donald Trump’s administration issued a disgraceful and retaliatory Executive Order declaring war on working people, by denying our collective bargaining rights.
This order was a direct attack on the rights of one million of patriotic American civil servants―targeted simply because they are members of a union that stands up to this administration’s harmful policies.
Trump’s order claims to be in response to national security concerns, but that’s plainly ridiculous. Elon Musk and Donald Trump don’t like that the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is standing up for their members against attempts to politicize the civil service and chaotically fire federal employees, and cut services to the American people. These federal workers have had union rights since before America went to the moon. A union nurse at the VA isn’t a threat to national security.
This administration’s bullying tactics represent a clear threat not just to federal employees and their unions, but to every American who values democracy and the freedoms of speech and association. Federal unions are in the crosshairs now, but if they get away with this, every working person will be next.
AFGE is preparing immediate legal action and will fight relentlessly to protect our rights, our members, and all working Americans from these unprecedented attacks.
This is an existential threat to our union. We can only win if we all stand together. Please, donate to the Federal Worker Defense Fund today!
Trump’s threat to unions and working people across America is clear: "fall in line or else".
These threats will not work. Americans will not be intimidated or silenced. AFGE isn't going anywhere. Our members have bravely served this nation, often putting themselves in harm’s way, and they deserve far better than this blatant attempt at political punishment.
Unions fight for the interests of the workers who make our society function. An attack on unions is as serious as Trump’s attempts to control the media and his packing of the courts―It’s an attack on democracy itself.
Trump is trying to use the presidency to silence dissent and control workers. Just like any other union-busting boss, Trump wants a culture of fear and compliance. That's antithetical to what it means to be American, which is why working people beyond the federal workforce are standing up to resist Trump’s authoritarian edicts.
Trump’s lawfare strategy is clear: to force us to drain our resources and our morale with endless court battles. Your support right now will make the difference.
Donate today to help AFGE take Donald Trump to court and defend working people!
Let’s set the record straight about federal unions:
Federal unions cannot negotiate over pay, benefits, or hiring/firing decisions.
Unlike private-sector unions, federal unions are limited to bargaining over conditions of employment—not wages, benefits, or classifications, which are set by law and Congress.
Federal employees are prohibited by law from striking.
Under 5 U.S.C. § 7311, federal workers are legally barred from striking, and doing so can result in termination and a ban from federal employment.
Nearly one-third of federal employees are veterans.
Many federal workers are former service members who bring leadership, discipline, and mission commitment to their civilian roles. Stripping their bargaining rights is a betrayal of that service.
Collective bargaining is governed by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.
This bipartisan law created a structured process for federal workers to address workplace issues without disrupting government operations.
Unions improve agency performance—not hinder it.
Collective bargaining helps resolve conflicts early, reduces costly litigation, improves retention, and boosts morale—all of which support better public service.
Removing bargaining rights opens the door to abuse.
Without union representation, employees—especially whistleblowers and veterans—lose vital protections from retaliation and political interference.
Federal unionism has broad historical support.
Presidents from both parties—Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama—have upheld the right of federal workers to union representation.
We’re taking Trump to court, and we will win. Standing united, we cannot be defeated. Support our movement by donating today!"

"Early this morning, in a vote that went through the night, Senate Republicans passed their budget resolution, which lays the groundwork for massive cuts to Medicaid, nutrition for children, and other vital programs while using procedural tricks to hide the true cost of their multi-trillion-dollar tax cuts for billionaires.
In an unprecedented move, the legislation will use an accounting trick that treats extending tax cuts that are set to expire as having no cost despite their nearly $5 trillion price tag.
Let's be clear: Trump and his allies in Congress are cooking the books in broad daylight. They don't want Americans to know that their scam of a tax bill, which gives trillions in giveaways to their billionaire and corporate donors, costs over $5 trillion. No amount of magic math can change the fact that this tax plan has real costs that will be paid for by workers and families.
Massive cuts to vital government programs like Medicaid and SNAP will raise health care and food prices for millions of families while billionaires pocket the money and the national debt explodes. Working and middle-class families and future generations should not be forced to pay higher prices just to further enrich billionaire elites and the politicians they bought.
Now, the budget moves to the House where they could vote as early as next week. We’re keeping the pressure on swing-district Republicans to side with Democrats in opposing massive cuts to vital services to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.
Thank you for your support and activism as we fight back against the 2025 Trump-GOP tax scam that puts billionaire tax breaks over the survival of working people."

Wishing our American friends all the best in the fight against the Orange Avenger. His tariff announcement April 2 was a breathtaking explosion of lies that needs to be taken apart word by word. Keep up the good work, Ben.
Wonderful Trump has now alienated our closest neighbor and Ally how does he feel that is going to help the United States it won't it's going to cut us off from everybody the Canadian Mexicans Europe the only person he'll have good ties with is Putin and other dictators we need to stop him now we're already losing economically to our partners and our friends this has three stumped before America goes totally bankrupt not mention you're talking about a man who bankrupted a casino how the hell you bankrupt the casino and pulling people out of lines at the airport tourism is already down and I expect that the European sector will also be boycotting our country so all Trump is done is turned everybody that were our friends into our enemies and he is greeting our enemies like they were friends do I see something wrong with this yes I do do I want to stop yes I do are there other people wanted to stop I'm sure there are but if we don't get together and stop it now we won't be able to stop it we support England for our freedom and we won now we have to fight Trump for our freedoms and if we don't then we will be a sad sad country because our freedoms will go up and smoke along with all of our friendships and allies
We do not understand it either. Trump does not know what he is doing!
Trump is seceding in Making America Great, Poor, isolated and with no friends in the world. Great job, now Trump's neck ties and red hats now have a 55% tax. Make people hate us. Thanks Donnie Dipshit.

He still doesn't get or just doesn't care that it will be us , the citizens of the United States who will be paying for all of his horrendous behavior.
Tariff responses that would hurt. Canada and the EU should ratchet up restrictions and fines against American software & platform companies. Stick it to Meta, Google, Oracle and other US companies.
Absolutely fascinating and sobering moment in Canadian political history.
This isn’t just another election—it’s a stress test of Canada’s entire post-NAFTA identity.
Trump’s tariff salvo has forced the country to confront an uncomfortable truth: Canada’s deep economic reliance on the U.S. is now a strategic vulnerability. And unlike in the past, the “rules-based order” isn’t going to save anyone. There are no rules—just raw leverage.
What makes this so compelling is the psychological split in the national response:
On one hand, Carney represents the faith in institutions—that calm diplomacy, credentials, and global networks can restore order.
On the other, Poilievre channels the populist instinct—the gut-level reaction that Canada’s been taken for a ride, and it’s time to punch back.
It’s also worth noting how emotionally this is landing. The language from ordinary Canadians is visceral: betrayal, humiliation, anger. There’s a collective realization that economic peace with the U.S. was always conditional—and that condition was compliance.
The election, then, becomes something deeper than a political contest. It’s a cultural reckoning.
Thank you VERY much for this interview. It's obvious that there are more sane politicians in Canada than the US. I look at the USA from my home of 20 years in Costa Rica, and am ashamed to see what my native country has become.
Hey folks. My friend just saw our local incumbent Conservative MP’s team putting election signs up around town. Guess what they are driving? A pick up truck with an American flag. I feel sick 🤢
Power to Canada🍁

"'Devastating consequences': Ethics experts sound alarm at Trump family's latest venture."
"A new bitcoin-mining company is receiving an investment boost from President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons – a move that is also raising a new round of ethical questions from critics, raising conflict of interest concerns.
That’s according to the Wall Street Journal, which reported on Monday that a merge would occur between Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.’s American Data Centers and American Bitcoin, a mining company owned by Hut 8.
Their goal is to create “the world’s largest miner of the digital currency, with designs on building its own ‘bitcoin reserve,’" the report added. The latest venture is part of the Trump family’s “all-out crypto blitz” since Trump reemerged at the White House in January.
“In a matter of months, the Trumps started a decentralized-finance, or DeFi, project called World Liberty Financial, said their social-media company would invest in bitcoin and other digital assets, launched meme coins to capitalize on the popularity of the president and his wife and announced plans to issue a World Liberty dollar-backed stablecoin,” the Journal reported.
Trump also vowed to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.”
But the new Trump family business dealing is raising fresh ethics concerns by some critics who cite the Trumps’ recent crypto investments as potential conflicts of interest.
“At least in the last term, it was all golf courses and hotels, whereas now he’s getting into crypto, which could have a systemic effect on the economy,” Richard Painter, a former ethics attorney for President George W. Bush, told the Journal. “This is an area where conflicts of interest, whether the Trump family or anybody else, could have devastating consequences.”
The president earlier in the month signed an executive order authorizing the United States to establish a strategic reserve of cryptocurrency as the “ultimate celebrity endorsement." (Raw Story)......

"Trump commutes sentence of convicted fraudster, who aided GOP effort to impeach Biden."
"Serial fraudster, Jason Galanis, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for stealing tens of millions of dollars from a Native American tribe, which he used to buy a Tribeca condo, luxury clothes, and jewelry...but of course he gets a pardon from the most corrupt government in American history, because he was willing to tell ridiculous lies in order to fuel the GOP's fruitless Hunter Biden investigation."
