This shit has to stop! Yeah the crazy dude is going back to run his car company soon, and what will happen then? Someone in the admin will say something like oh shit they were sabotaged! Or some such thing. I’ve wondered all along if the tech bros were opening doors to all our info and leaving them open so anyone could drop in and do anything.. Well it seems to be more than that. Could it be that the info exposed could now be lost and never found again. Just think of the time and effort to rebuild it all. Some of us could be dead before it’s restored!!!!!🤬🤬🤬
For weeks now I’ve been saying abt the same thing that we continue talking about all these terrible things trump and musk are doing but there still doesn’t appear anything is being done abt it. IT’S TIME FOR EFFECTIVE ACTIONS.
What are you doing to help? Calling or emailing your rep and Senator which is a matter of legal record? I sign petitions that go to my senator and rep, attend town halls that my rep holds usually once a month. One of the law firms also has a town hall that is suing the administration and Doge. I also donate small amounts to these groups It makes me feel less powerless and know how ever small it seems I am heling them do their job.
You are an inspiration for fighting back trying to protect, well save, our Democracy. We donate to Midas and to Steve Schmidt.
I encourage Steve to run for POTUS next term. We are looking for more ways we can help. Writing to Reps and Senators is good but our time is spent right now recovering from a Cancer.
I think most of us are now doing all we can. It has to be enough yet for the first time in my life I’m not feeling optimistic about things like I always did. I’m looking for another effective way I can continue to fight this.
I’m doing these things too: writing letters and postcards, calling my reps and senators, signing petitions, etc.
Now I’m going to start writing letters to the editor. I live in a red area and the opinion pages are full of anger and misinformation. Instead of trading insults or trying to convince MAGA followers through argument which does not work, I thought I would send “lessons”, tips, suggestions in my letters to the opinion pages on how to research and check sources. If they do the work themselves, maybe they will believe the results.
For FAR too long the justice branch has been using civil actions for punishment. It has no effect on the wealthy. Judges catering to them. Trump was found in contempt of court over ten times walking away with NO sanctions. Today, we have controvercy over mixed bathroom privileges. I understand the angst, but Trump brags about grabbing EVERY STUFF then denying E. Jean. Carol's account of him doing just that. When found guilty his penalty was WHAT ? A fine. At one time he was "convicted" of discriminating against blacks in civil court. Punishment ? ZERO !!!
We need to be as relentless as they are. They are digging a hole they won’t be able to clime out of. Their destruction is coming even if doing it legitimately is too slow. TAKE ACTION! Hound your representatives, vote, join the protests. They’re beginning to be more afraid of us than they are of him. We will be partying in the streets when we take them down. It’s coming. Don’t give up. It’s what they’re counting on.
Hello Kate, First I should say this is Dennis’s Wife, I paid for this subscription with his credit card.
Yes fear is turning to terror this is trump’s plan. We must try hard not to be afraid and put our energy into how to effectively fight this because we are literally losing our Democracy.
If you are involved in anything effective please share with me I’d like to get involved.
They are going to crash and burn. Loosing faithfull followers daily as they show who they are and boldly hurt their base with their arrogance thinking they’ve won and it doesn’t matter any more. That and the fact that his appointees are ignorant and have no idea what they’re doing so have to keep undoing things as they loose on court. They did what they’ve falsely claimed Biden did by stealing the election and that will all come out once they don’t control the house and senate. Even his stooges on the Supreme Court are starting to turn on him. If you believe you’re powerless you are. Take action. Hound your representatives. They need to be more afraid of us than they are of him. It’s already happening. 12 republicans are already talking about voting to tax the rich.
hope you are right, Mary Ann! I just don’t see enough evidence ~and our recourse is nil. If we didnt get some semblance of moral cooperation in the senate for the inhumane actions of the cast of criminals in the WH OR to reign him in on the tariffs~ add that the Supreme Court has become impotent even when they ~try he tramples over them! He doesn’t need to care about his base anymore. So I am not finding the light in the very dark tunnel!
Not true. Unfortunately, doing things legitimately is slow. But they’re buried in lawsuits that they’re loosing, there are hearings the Dems are holding and they are loosing many followers by showing who they really are. Pretty sure the midterms will loose them the house and likely the senate and their freeforall will end. Medias touch surpassing FOX is a sign as well as all the protests. Many will go to trial and be held accountable. Praying trump will be among them if he lives that long.
Great interview Ben! This gal told the truth about DOGE and spoke to the need for DOGE to be investigated. Good for her, and others, to resign after figuring out that they’d been hoodwinked into a group committing illegal activities for illicit reasons.
Didn’t you see the interview with a man head of it in NR-something. I think it was national security or something. Doge created 4 files. Turned off all security, Then he downloaded a ton of data. There’s a graph showing how much. Then they deleted the four files and swept the system of their activities then left the department without turning on the security system. Then there was 20 attempts to log on the system (into one of the four doge files they created). 20 attempts in 15 minutes. They found it was a Russian IP address and that they had the correct username and password but the only reason they couldn’t access the system is because it had restricted access from foreign countries. Look it up. It’s titled Whistleblower something.
I read that one of the "boy" hackers (which using them should have been a tip off with anyone with a brain) went back in after they were told to leave it alone, might have downloaded some data and then did leave the SS database open probably because he was in a hurry and wasn't supposed to be in it. DOGE is currently being sued by regular joes for accessing those files.
The article was from NPR. It’s very good and what happened is chilling. Highly recommend checking it out. Only good thing is that the data exfiltrated was in text format which is very hard to work with since the fields are not in specific formats and take time and effort to parse.
IMHO doge is there to create chaos and eliminate any agency that was investigating or blocking musks companies who happen to have almost all the contracts with the government. We can cut billions in waste by eliminating his contracts. He doesn't want oversight into him or his companies that are cutting corners or violating the standards and requirements. Just look at Tesla and the overpriced garbage he sells.
This exposé highlights the critical need for vigilance and transparency in how influential figures leverage technology and public enthusiasm for personal or political gain. It underscores why we must continually question the motivations behind high-profile endorsements and tech-driven movements. Protecting user trust and democratic integrity demands accountability—not just innovation. Excellent reporting by MeidasTouch.
Wow! this TED talk was very powerful. Thankyou for sharing. I'll be deep diving into her previous talks as well. This just validates that this broligarchy are evil and greedy as we suspected. We must starve them. Great info, great advice. Thankyou
Merici Vinton seems to be a very intelligent, astute person. It's a shame that someone of her caliber and ethics was let go. I hope she can be part of the rebuild team. Thank you, Merici, for speaking out.
Agreed. I think she should work with partners to create an efficient computer system for the government that can repair the damage done, so it's ready to go when 2026 puts us back in charge of Congress, and Congress does it's job.
In order to hold DOGE accountable we must know what they have actually done. Are they just collecting Americans’ personal data for Palantir? For what end? Social control? To sell it on the open market? Inquiring minds want to know.
Ok. This is getting ridiculous. DOGE=Sandworm=Solarwinds=Russia.
Fake Ruzzian agency in America. Definitely not American. It’s a Russian intrusion into America
Yep, it’s all connected JZKsCoreHop. My definition of DOGE, Dorks Obliterating Government Ethics
Unfortunately I agree.
SPAM
Troll impersonating Ben Meiselas. Reported and blocked.
Bullshit troll grifter, anyone? That's what I'm "sharing" with you.
Yup. Total bullshit. 😏😎
We need the military to stop the trump regime and throw them all in prison, where they belong. They're domestic terrorists, working for russia.
In 90 days he's destroyed the USA and the American's prosperous future.
Ben you may want to check your personal Substack. Looks like a bot is posting from your personal Substack

I don't think it was deleted - just copied so they can sell it to the highest bidders, which might include identity thieves.
More horse pucky.
We already knew all of this. We need the legal system to hold them accountable…

These are amazing actions but not NEARLY enough to topple whats going on right now. I agree with Dennis 100%
I’m doing these things too: writing letters and postcards, calling my reps and senators, signing petitions, etc.
Now I’m going to start writing letters to the editor. I live in a red area and the opinion pages are full of anger and misinformation.

Dennis~ we are powerless~ even a Supreme Court mandate is trampled and not prosecuted! Fear is quickly turning to terror!
For FAR too long the justice branch has been using civil actions for punishment. It has no effect on the wealthy. Judges catering to them.

Go back to your legislators, they need to hear from us that we want DOGE out of our government, and we want it now!!!!
If he found real fraud, there would be arrest. No police and no arrest means no fraud. The fraud was the Trump administration.
ITS ALL DISTRACTION.
Project 2025 is already 34% implemented, while we are distracted.
This is what is really happening behind the scenes -
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrtVNpKA/
I have not heard anything about anyone being charged with fraud. Who’s supposedly responsible?
And musky offers no proof of doing *anything* constructive. Show us the evidence!!
He needs to "find" himself and felon Dumpty.
Great interview Ben! This gal told the truth about DOGE and spoke to the need for DOGE to be investigated. Good for her, and others, to resign after figuring out that they’d been hoodwinked into a group committing illegal activities for illicit reasons.
More former/fired employees need to visibly speak out like this!

Well whatever they have, it’s too late. Just waiting for the shoe to drop and see what they’re going to do with our data. It’s scary.

Also “DOGE” or to be more specific the Russian incursion was revealed 12/20. That’s how long Russia has been sitting in the federal network.
They’ve been in it since the Fourth of July trip the Republicans took and were informed of how they’d been compromised.
Kompromat 🇷🇺
I’ve been screaming this for over a month
Wow, sounds like this young woman should be reporting this info to ( our inefficient) Congress and get a probe going.
So who among us find it AMAZING that we might agree with Steve Bannon on something ??😳😆
It doesn’t hurt that he despises Elon I guess, rt?
Well, y’all know the old adage....”The enemy of enemy is my friend.” ✊😎

It also seems ripe for Russian (or other enemies) hacking, the multifold lengths to which it could be utlilized.
Hell yeah brothers well done
If it doesn't make sense - it's not true.
They stole all the info for AI.
Also to help them make decisions.
Who is a good, healthy slave?
Who is useless to them and needs to go to the death camps?
Never forget what he said to Bukele - "We need you to build 5 more camps for the homegrowns."
This is just the beginning. Exactly how Hitler started.
This is what unchecked power and billions of dollars gets you in the wrong hands. This is the evil of the trump regime.
