There was a speaker at the DNC last year who once work for Trump and he told her "if you keep repeating the lie eventually they will believe it". She quit, and tells her story to this day.
Many Congressional Republicans privately admit Trump is nuts.
I keep posting. According to Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Trumpepstein may cause an "Epstein bomb" causing over 100 Republican members to "jailbreak" from Trump.
I so agree and I wish one of their βapproved β reporters would just innocently ask βsir why do you lie so muchβ? Just to see what kind of a response they would come up with.
worse, they would be thrown out of the press conference and never allowed to return which would probably result in them being fired by their media employer. But, if there was a reporter willing to lose their job, i'd love to see them ask that question. and ask and ask it until the maga goons threw the reporter out.
I'm really disappointed that you invited rabid islamphobe, aipac and corporate tool Hakeem Jeffries to MeidasTouch for an interview. It is my fervent hope that he can be primaried out.
We understand that people have strong feelings about individual guests, but as a news network, weβre proud to feature a wide range of voices so our audience can be fully informed. That includes House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, as well as Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, Senator Bernie Sanders, Graham Platner, Governor Mills, Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill, Governor Josh Shapiro, union leaders, grassroots organizers, and so many others.
Our mission has always been to build a big tent for pro-democracy voices β and that means hosting thoughtful conversations across the broad coalition working to protect democracy.
Well put Meidas Mighty! I kind of feel the same about Jeffries β¦but I'm trying real hard not to do what the Republicans do to us! ππππ Go Blue all the way!!!
That doesn't mean that you have to ask softball questions to your guests. Not one question about whether the results of the NYC election has changed his view of what the Democratic party needs to pursue in the future? No question about whether he regrets his position on the NYC candidate? Not saying you don't have them on, but don't cater to them. Ask them the tough questions. That is the only way that we will improve the party! (And that is what you make fun of other networks for not doing when they have on Republicans!)
Completely agree. Ask hard questions of your guests. If we want a big tent of diverse viewpoints, we have to do that. I have listened to Brian Tyler Cohen do this with his guests and also watched as they challenged him. Itβs definitely a skill-set and requires a certain openness. We cannot afford to tip-toe around each other. Thatβs really a luxury and just frustrates the viewer.
Then if you are a news network, ask Jeffries the questions he doesn't want to answer. I watched him in a previous interview with you waving his hands around and saying he had no idea where the people got the idea that he got all this money from AIPAC. You know we got the idea from his list of donors and we know how much. You let him get away with that. You becoming part of the democratic entrenched bs is not helping nor is it the behavior of a legit news network.
I canβt believe, with everything going on (or not going on for that matter), your comment is hate on Jefferies. Iβm not into the blame game and I donβt care how it happens. What I do care about are those representatives who seem to have a no show job. I care about my fellow citizens and I want them to get the support and food they need. Get back to work. I didnβt vote for you to sit home.
I agree with you! If your going to have them on your program then you need to ask the hard questions like why do you take aipac money and support funding a genocide? Him and Schumer need to go
Jeffrey, this is the speaker of the house for Democrats and he definitely needs to be listened to.
After listening to him, I am still concerned that he does not simply voice what is actually happening and that America is being taken over by fascists and this is a fight to retain our democracy, and he needs to have that clarity when he speaks
Actually, this is the first time I've heard him be more specific. His earlier comment about magas starving their constituents was: "It's unfortunate". smh So, this interview was much better, imo. Still: he's too conservative for me, and I cannot support anyone who supports a genocide.
This is the first time I've heard Rep Jeffries actually standing up for the people. Before this I heard such comments as "It's unfortunate" about MAGAs starving their constituents. So, thanks for the interview. I'll never support Jeffries, but now it's just because he's a corporate democrat and wants to block progressives. He did eventually tepidly give support to Mamdani, though. :)
I'm glad you let them know that. I mean seriously if people can't see it with their own eyes they need to know it. Maybe they'll be able to see it in their heads if they can't see in their eyes and know that it is a real problem. I'm sorry you're going through this definitely very sorry. I'm sorry all of us are going through this it's a bunch of bull.
Mike Johnson is delusional. Itβs a rebuke on Donald Trump and his horrific attacks on all of us. ICE raids on innocent people- disappearing themβ¦on and on. That fuvking Gatsby party was obscene on so many levels. Argentina gets billions while our people go hungry.
Maga Mike is delusional. Put him under oath and let us hear the truths. He is nothing more than the "Speaker of" Trump's ass. I am tired of all the lies.
MAGA Mike is a puppet for rump hands down. He just got schooled by a federal judge who called his actions over refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva as, βconstitutionally indefensible β. Hopeful he will be voted out, one way or both ways! Throw him to his constituents!
Jeffries has been too ineffective in his role as HR minority leader for me and his financial incentives from AIPac have coerced his voice. Thatβs what big money buys!!
As far rump, he will fail as he always does, and blame everyone else! He is all over the Epstein Files, as we all knowβ¦along w/ some other disgusting millionaires &/or billionaires who have bought their way through life while looking down their noses at hard working Americans! The GOP have been pimped out by rump and are literally as complicit as the rest of the misfit regime!!!!
MAGA Mike wants to run on the Republican record? Which record would that be - the one where the GOP failed even to TRY bipartisanship? Or maybe the six- maybe seven-week vacation he gave his members to avoid his job? How about the record for releasing the Epsietin files?
I think itβs time for the Dems to tell people that with the ACA subsidies not being extended and the SNAP benefits not being paid, that this is a precursor of what will happen in 2026, when the big ugly bill becomes effective. Food nutritional programs including SNAP will be cut by $186 billion dollars;
Medicare would face $490 billion in cuts; the number of uninsured will increase by 10 million; Medicaid/CHIP will see $900 - $990 billion spending reduction. People need to see that the shutdown is a mirror showing what will happen when the big ugly bill becomes effective, just to ensure that the rich will receive a permanent tax break!!
the amount of foot dragging and teeth pulling to get to that endorsement was tellingβthe percentage of young men who chose him should be a wake-up call to Establishment Demsβbut honestlyβiβm willing to look beyond that fiasco and ahead to how the party must listen to more than dollars from billionaires and lobbyists now.
It took him a very long time to decide to endorse Mamdani: but Schumer never did. lol Corporate democrats will lose a lot of money if progressives come into power. And they might even lose their job and all those perks that go with it. I want representatives who are more interested in helping us all, than in lining their pockets.
Telling the truth about both parties will keep us from making another huge mistake like trump, imo.
So, a βslow motionβ turn around to actually endorsing someone in a major local election of significance like NYC is not a good look for a party facing a fast moving crisis which I would argue is existential.
Just my opinion. Anyway so I am glad he FINALLY came around to it.
It was not the democratic establishment that won Tuesday. It was grass roots support of candidates who say we need change. Jeffries cannot talk about being beholden to lobbyists. He continues to be party to genocide, providing bombs and arms to Israeli murderers, turning a blind eye to the deliberate starvation of a population, children wasting away. Denounce AIPAC and stop arms shipments. Then you might have an ounce of credibility.
Jeffries reluctantly endorsed Mamdani, but I believe it was only after seeing his momentum. Schumer never did do anything to help, or even endorse, Mamdani. Hopefully they will both see that they need to either put up or shut up and start paying attention to what the American people, especially those of us who are struggling every single day, need them to fight for. It isn't for the status quo and it's not bending down to kiss the ring of archaic rules that seem only to apply to the Democrats. Purple is the color of the wave that is needed to come on shore to wash the stench away from our democracy. I have a glimmer of hope for Jeffries, none for Schumer.
YEs, and I am concerned by their "sending a letter" yet again. Where are they speaking to the American people at ICE centers, at the DC monuments, etc.
Exactly. I have had all of the "I am concerned" comments that I want to ever hear again coming out of the mouths of Senators and Congressional leaders who then turn around and bow to the pressure of corporations and political power instead of showing any kind of true courage. They sit in their seats of power, adorned by the trappings of the office, forsaking the people who put them there. There are exceptions, but they are blocked by the out of touch leaders of their party in being able to effect changes. Instead, they have to go out and try to engage and energize the public. Maybe those leaders should look at yesterday's results as an indicator of where to focus their campaigns and their energies - For a better life for all Americans, regardless of party affiliation.
Get rid of Jeffries. He takes so much money from AIPAC he could barely stand to endorse Mamdani. I'm in his district. He needs to be primaried. He has been useless in the past year.
Jeffries doesn't seem to understand yet that the results are a mandate for the Democratic Party to get back to their roots. Stop accepting PAC money, and work for WE THE PEOPLE who hired you and Chuckles. We want affordable healthcare for all, not just members of the Senate. Taxation the same as it was in Rosevelt's day, where we ALL pay our fair share and no loopholes. Fair wages that allow us to buy cars and houses and send our children to college.
I've heard that Schumer and Jeffries are holding meetings with the Dem caucus discussing the option of settling with the Republicans. NO! if they don't stick to their guns, and doom millions of Americans to death every year, the blue wave that was unleashed last night will sweep over those two before they can say Primaried Out Of Office. The fact they are even considering it shows what a gutless coward he is, and how out of touch.
If J & S "settle" up with the republicans, that will be the end of the party for sure...new leadership is emerging, we will not stand for the status quo party anymore. It's time...So, call Schumer and Jeffries offices every day and demand they put new leadership in place, people who know how to communicate, demand they do no buckle to the Republicans. No-one is going to blame them for holding firm -- every will if they buckle.
Theyβre ALL liars, cheats, & SOOOO Delusional!!ππ€ͺπ€ͺππ€¬π€¬π€¬
Letβs KEEP the blue wave Rolling right into 2026!!!ππππͺπΌπͺπΌπͺπΌππΌππΌππΌ

Those paychecks should be going to foodbanks.
they need to change the law. when there is a congressional shutdown, congress members should not be paid. this would force them to find a resolution.
Many Congressional Republicans privately admit Trump is nuts.

I think that if we play our cards right, many can be convinced by the election outcome to come forward.
I so agree and I wish one of their βapproved β reporters would just innocently ask βsir why do you lie so muchβ? Just to see what kind of a response they would come up with.
Unfortunately, those questions they ask have to be pre-approved by Karoline Leavitt who is a nasty rude bitch just like her boss.
worse, they would be thrown out of the press conference and never allowed to return which would probably result in them being fired by their media employer. But, if there was a reporter willing to lose their job, i'd love to see them ask that question. and ask and ask it until the maga goons threw the reporter out.
!00% agree with you Candace.
"La-Cuntessa" Leavitt
...under His DESKπ
It's pretty clear why she married someone three times her age, no one her own age would put up with her rude snotty disrespectful attitude.
I love that. I would do it.
MAGA MIKE - a very facsimile of a fake human
The elf on a shelf.
I'm really disappointed that you invited rabid islamphobe, aipac and corporate tool Hakeem Jeffries to MeidasTouch for an interview. It is my fervent hope that he can be primaried out.
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
We understand that people have strong feelings about individual guests, but as a news network, weβre proud to feature a wide range of voices so our audience can be fully informed.

Well put Meidas Mighty! I kind of feel the same about Jeffries β¦but I'm trying real hard not to do what the Republicans do to us! ππππ Go Blue all the way!!!
Mike, you guys are finished
Sure hope so!
Sorry, but Meidas Touch has just begun to tell the truth.
Thank you for all you do to build this pro-democracy movement. Each and every person that stands up is helping our cause.
That doesn't mean that you have to ask softball questions to your guests.

That's would have been a great question, imo! Another question I'd have liked would have been about his support of the genocide.
Maga Mike is PATHETIC π
DEMOCRATS STAY STRONG DO NOT GIVE IN
Yes, we are suffering but, giving in will make things worse. I'm on Medicare, Medicaid and foodstamps. I still say STAY STRONG!!!!!!!!
Then if you are a news network, ask Jeffries the questions he doesn't want to answer. I watched him in a previous interview with you waving his hands around and saying he had no idea where the people got the idea that he got all this money from AIPAC. You know we got the idea from his list of donors and we know how much. You let him get away with that. You becoming part of the democratic entrenched bs is not helping nor is it the behavior of a legit news network.
The Dems need a commercial on Fox News comparing prices now from a year or go
Excellent retort! We need to know his twisted thoughts!
The poor man is having trouble coming up with wordsβ¦..dishonest
Too bad you donβt like him. We donβt like Trump and his lying fools.
Disliking Jeffries has nothing to do with Trump. I despise Trump, that doesnβt mean I have to respect Jeffries
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. FDJT!!
Hakeem Jeffries is wonderful. He stands his ground and makes the best decisions you sound a little rabid yourself
No, he works for Israel and only has himself in mind.
No, he doesn't. More like working for justice.
Heβs received $1,742,105 in blood money from AIPAC. Thats not justice.
Holly s**t. Then again, why am I surprised?????????????? Thanks for your reply, Sarah, even though it made me madder than ever!
You can look everyone up at trackaipac.com
Sounds more like trump to me !
Two things can be true at the same time.
He definitely refused to have our party question hegseth about his murder of Venezuelan fishermen.
I canβt believe, with everything going on (or not going on for that matter), your comment is hate on Jefferies. Iβm not into the blame game and I donβt care how it happens. What I do care about are those representatives who seem to have a no show job. I care about my fellow citizens and I want them to get the support and food they need. Get back to work. I didnβt vote for you to sit home.
Sounds like you can despise Trump and still be his tool.
It's safe for Democratic politicians to criticize Trump. It's how they vote and what they say aside from that, that really counts.
Notice: MAGA infiltration here.
Bingo, Alan!
Please get out of this forum. I am sure MAGA has one going now.
I agree with you! If your going to have them on your program then you need to ask the hard questions like why do you take aipac money and support funding a genocide? Him and Schumer need to go

MAGA Mike is so full of shit his breath stinks. π·
Me too. Are you that tone deaf, Ben? You blew it.
Are YOU tone deaf??????????????? Looks like it.
No I'm not. But thanks for checking in. Whatever.
Oh my God listening to him once is all you need he sounds the same every single time no matter the situation same same
Actually, this is the first time I've heard him be more specific. His earlier comment about magas starving their constituents was: "It's unfortunate". smh So, this interview was much better, imo. Still: he's too conservative for me, and I cannot support anyone who supports a genocide.
I agree π
Iβm sorry I canβt listen to you if you have that insipid little twerp of a liar Mike Johnson I canβt stand the sound of his voice anymore
This is the first time I've heard Rep Jeffries actually standing up for the people. Before this I heard such comments as "It's unfortunate" about MAGAs starving their constituents. So, thanks for the interview. I'll never support Jeffries, but now it's just because he's a corporate democrat and wants to block progressives. He did eventually tepidly give support to Mamdani, though. :)
Exactly!! As I said before.......Jeffries and Chuckles need to check out.
Take their AIPAC $$$$$ and run for the hills!!!
Not sure why you use such hateful words. I think you stumbled into the wrong place and should take your hate elsewhere.
π
The food pantry car line went around the block in my tiny town of 1,200. SNAP benefits denied.
I'm glad you let them know that. I mean seriously if people can't see it with their own eyes they need to know it. Maybe they'll be able to see it in their heads if they can't see in their eyes and know that it is a real problem. I'm sorry you're going through this definitely very sorry. I'm sorry all of us are going through this it's a bunch of bull.

When has an oath ever kept lies from coming out of corrupt politicians mouths? We can include US Supreme Court justices, too.
For many of the Republicans βunder oathβ means nothing to them. Many show no integrity. Itβs very sad.
Who has ever been prosecuted for telling a lie βunder oathβ?
When has an oath ever kept a corrupt politician from telling a lie? And letβs add US Supreme Court justices to that list.
MAGA Mike wants to run on the Republican record? Which record would that be - the one where the GOP failed even to TRY bipartisanship? Or maybe the six- maybe seven-week vacation he gave his members to avoid his job? How about the record for releasing the Epsietin files?
lol I laughed out loud when he talked about the MAGA record. lol

Jeffries wasnβt even in New York to usher in Mamdani.
