If I had the money, I would send a subscription to everybody I know. Unfortunately, fixed income retirement is not very predictable these days. I'm cheering you on and trying to get every person I bump into aware of access to your honest reporting. Thanks for what you do.

Ms.JP's avatar

Unfortunately we have a lot of folks with two brain cells in the small town I live in.

Ben: Your ratings are deserved! You are a hard worker! Keep it up but take a rest ever so often!

Ann Harding's avatar

I was thinking Ben you need to have others you can rely on to step in to give you space to breathe. I know you do this and it will continue to be more important as you grow. Congratulations! Thank you.

Time For D’s To Go Mad Max On GOP/Nazis

The House Rules committee just voted to NOT condemn fascism In a New Republic piece, “A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends,” wrote Vice President Henry A. Wallace for The New York Times in 1944

Pretty well sums it up for the Nazi/GOP Perry Bacon in his podcast(https://bit.ly/4nZ1Izx) talks about it’s time for D’s to take their gloves off and begin an anti-corruption campaign to salvage the country from the Nazi/GOP who has shown that it’s ok for immoral conduct, disgusting political retribution, reprehensible immigrant policy, political monetary opportunism, attempted government oligarchic takeover, rigging elections and persistent gerrymandering, attempting to buy elected offices, abuse of executive power, abuse of SCOTUS power The American public has seen and had enough

36 House Nazis are not seeking re-election in 2026 They’re seeing the writing on the wall The jig is up….the MAGA façade has been ripped away and there is no turning back But a unanimous House vote for the Epstein file release cannot wipe away decades of power grabbing politics with nothing in return to the American people Vote the Nazis out until they have a moral compass if that's at all possible because I think this Nazi group is beyond hope

And do it with tenacity and a "no holds barred" approach No reaching across the aisle SCOTUS enlargement to 13 Meaningful election reform to eliminate gerrymandering and other red state anti voting legislation Repeal of past tax legislation and 50% tax on billionaires in order to pay down national deficit Restitution of a Constitutional mandated bimetallic standard(gold/silver standard) Voiding all Cheeto executive orders Restitution of Biden legislation Impeachment of Cheeto and his cabinet including Just Dance Vance Begin grifter tax on misinformation sources Change the pardon power

Totally agree!!! The Republican party is GONE!! There is only the Democratic party and the Fascist party now! (May be a few "old-timers" out there who still THINK there is a republican party, but it's not the Party they think it is, or used to be!!)

WJB Motown's avatar

Sadly...both parties are owned by AIPAC and corporate donations. If the Dems refused AIPAC money........they would win by a historic blue tidal wave.

This country needs to step back from Israel and more importantly Netanyahu who is himself facing criminal charges. We have two leaders who are just trying to keep themselves out of jail. Please know that this comment does not reflect on any Jewish population…it is about the two felons leading our countries and their collusion with each other. Our felon wants land to develop in the Middle East… this is about the money not peace!

I’m in a small town. The mind set here is conservative is safe. Not-conservative is dangerous and scary. Folks will not pull back the veil on conservative because without that myth, they have no safe place. They watch Fox News because it stabilizes their mythic needs. I hope media like meidas can break through this cycle, as I think it is a dna struggle of our nation.

RandomHuman's avatar

In what universe is the current R party conservative? They're radical af. Please.

Ms.JP's avatar

Just describing what I see: They have created a closed loop where they do not receive information about the real Republican Party. Fox News feeds that. They evade all other information, they only know the democrats as not conservative. It is burned in their being.

Jean Conley's avatar

That party is the gestapo (ICE is another name for it) and they follow their Hitler 100%.

It appears to me that conservative to them is like a tree hole they will hide in. They will pick right wing conservative in panic, but the magas look scary to them too. Conservative seems to function h under an old banner. They seem unable to process the reality of its morphing through the years. It feels very instinctive not rational. Like the reptilian brain is running things. That is how it looks to me. Anyhow. Just trying to describe it.

Agree....collective DNA problem If you only watch Fox then you're in an isolated echo silo of misinformation with a dash of deceit Believe it or not our genes are listening Rupert Murdoch should have his US citizenship revoked and sent packing to Australia

Ms.JP's avatar

If only we could be free of Murdoch and the Murdoch model of news.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Murdoch n fox is not news! It’s like a horror movie!

Anne Docherty's avatar

Well said! In 1944 they had witnessed the horror and didn’t waste time dealing with damage. It’s just mind boggling how far behind the 8 ball America has been in dealing with it. Those brave Democrats who saw exactly what was happening could not get enough support to impeach. It was sickening!

Good news for the Good News! Keeping journalism alive!

I believe that Meidas Touch will go down in history as one of the toughest programs that helped us keep our democracy as long as we do.

WJB Motown's avatar

Totall agree........MTN is the leader for sure of the coalition of the democracy fighters.

Catherine Burns's avatar

Donald Trump cannot accept the fact that other people might be better at what they do and receive better ratings. It's fantastical ideas that he is all powerful and The Best of the Best is ridiculous. Congratulations Midas touch for your Superior reporting and your ratings. Democracy depends on you.

EaB's avatar

Catherine, it’s because he lives in a tiny bubble that encircles him like a herd of elephants do to protect their young but in this case an imbecile. (Sorry to beautiful and noble elephants for the comparison). No words of negativity shall reach those profoundly perfect ears (that haven’t a hint of a scar on the right one where he wore the Kotex pad for days after his …ahem…assassination attempt). He goes into shock when he hears an iota of bad news………….he’s perfection after all…sarcasm intended.

Well, it seems you’re doing something right if they are both attacking you. Keep up the good work. Fight the good fight.

National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people. Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth. The Donald Trump administration [removed] two holidays celebrating Black people and [added] the president’s birthday.
