Good morning Ben,

When you get a chance please watch Senator Chris Murphy’s YouTube video entitled:

“ Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To “ and possibly share it with the Meidas Mighty. I am so proud of my Ct. Senator!

Thank you! SHARED!

This comment defines it:

Firing IGs was a huge red flag. If DOGE were serious about finding fraud, they would keep the IGS and bring in forensic accountants, not a group of computer hackers.

DOGE is a SCAM! Who's in charge? No one has security clearance, some have questionable histories.

ELON MUSK targeted agencies that were investigating him because he's CORRUPT.

Another EXPLODED SPACE X - Muskrat thinks it's entertaining, doesn't pay for the cleanup or damage...that's why he forced MICHAEL WHITAKER out of FAA to be replaced by the BRAIN DEAD SEAN DUFFY - plane crashes anyone?

KAROLINE LEAVITT is an airhead far worse than her BRAIN DEAD predecessors!

YOU THOUGHT KAROLINE LEAVITT WAS BRAIN DEAD, INEPT, INCOMPETENT & STUPID? SHE CONTINUES TO CONFIRM THAT ASSESSMENT!

From Ron Filipkowski @ MEIDASTOUCH NETWORK:

… Starmer met with Trump the morning after the Zelensky debacle before returning to London for talks with Zelensky. Karoline Leavitt’s WH Press Release referred to Starmer as, “Prime Minister of Britain and Ireland.” The Irish might not love that.

Thank you for sharing that video. I think I was aware of several of those corrupt actions, but to see them put together like this is shocking. Every person who believes in democracy has got to stand up and shout “NO”.

Extraordinary! Yet so normalized as more and more corruption,illegality & trashing the USA continues from the White House every single day. They count on us tiring, not bothering to care any more. Senator Murphy shows how - more must step up. Every day, hello Senator X, your turn to build this case. Crowds must step up.

Maybe all of these corrupt actions need media handles - like Hillary’s emails? Grasping here, I know….

I hope Chris Dodd will enlist his good friend McConnell to oppose Putin's takeover of our country.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar

Moscow Mitch started facilitating Trump's take-over of our country even before Trump was elected. Recall Moscow Mitch blocking Obama's SCOTUS nomination: "let the people decide." Then under the same circumstances on the eve of the 2020 election, rather than "let the people decide," he fills RBG's seat with Barrett. As a consequence, intentional or not, Putin and the Billionaire Bullies were set to take over America. Moscow Mitch is an unrepentant thug who won't do anything to stop Mump.

Thanks for the info. I listened but quit at 20 minutes in, the delivery was a little slow for me. The content was EXCELLENT. Senator Murphy and so so many others, including all of us who comment on MTN, know we are in an era of new, and unprecedented corruption. We know this, it is the ppl who just go through each day living life not paying attention who need this info. I just wish his presentation was better, sharper, not as wordy. Just hit the bullet points, bam, bam, bam. He would be so much more effective. The young people are not going to take the time to listen to 28 minutes of this, and it is a shame because he is 1,000% right.

Imagine if you will, that we swapped out Trump for Biden.

What would be the outcry if Biden did all this?

This proves that Trump has a cult following, it's a cult.

I agree. And, full disclosure, I’ve voted for Chris Murphy since he started his political career. BUT someone needs to reduce everything he has said into a quick video. I know too many people who get bored after a minute or so. Or they are working too hard to make a living, paycheck to paycheck, to find the 30 minutes of precious time to listen to it.

I love and agree with everything my senator is saying, but how do you get it to the masses? How do you make it go viral? There has to be some sharp individuals in this country or another FREE country (Canada?) to be able to put his points into a compact message and get out into the world.

Those of us w/o a net worth of a half a mil, ya know, regular people, already know they are stealing right in front of us. Short of pulling the plug on the Fascist Fox News, what else can people do? I know we can’t wait until the midterms. If they’ve done this much damage in 6 WEEKS, can you imagine what will be left of this nation after 6 MONTHS or more?!?!

The democratic party needs to take some valuable lessons in how Mexico and Canada are responding to trump. They need to stop worrying about the 2026 and 2028 elections by playing it safe and start going "elbow to elbow" with trump and their Republican colleagues just like the world leaders. The time is now as we are living the coup and watching the dismantling of our Constitution in real time. There will not be free and fair elections in 2026 or 2028 if they don't ramp it up NOW.

We need warriors, champions, fighters to defend democracy, to protect America. Are there any Dems who can do more than simply tell us there are problems. We know Republicans have sold their souls to Trump/Musk, so it's up to others to preserve and protect our nation, our values, our way of life.

Pat Robinson's avatar

I'd love some ideas about specifically what the Dems can do. We have some folks (Sanders, Murphy, Jeffries, Crockett, Breshear, Pitzker, Warren, Slotkin, AOC and several others). These folks are articulate and vocal. They are saying everything that needs to be said. Do we "just" need more of them to be speaking out loudly in red/purple states? I'd like to see Dems holding town meetings in red areas, especially those where the maga Members of Congress are following the directive to not hold them. But what else should/could we be doing? What can I suggest to Ken Martin that he/we be doing?

Expand full comment
Dik de Bruijn's avatar

Specifically what Dems can do: stop catering to their progressive fringe groups and listen to what every-day Americans want. Craft real policies on how to achieve these goals, rather than spewing fuzzy language about "hope" and "progress." Admit Biden/Harris made real mistakes when it comes to the border and immigration. Stop the nonsense that "a rising tide lifts all boats." Abandon the idea that it is time for a particular candidate to be the nominee because of length of service. Put up the most electable candidate, not the legacy or aspirational one. Et cetera.

What is to stop Trump from simply dismantling Congress?

What does he actually need them for?

He does what he wants with the blessings of the Supreme Court and he owns the Justice Department so any lawsuits against him are impotent.

He issues EOs every day that Congress has nothing to do with.

Right now, their only job is to applaud him in his presence because they gave him all their power.

I wish someone could explain to me what the people of South Carolina see in Graham. Do they not see his deceit? Are they okay with seeing the chaos our government is in for the second time? Do they not see where the economy is at right now? They were complaining about prices when Biden was in office. Now the economy is even worse.

well that's what they're doing but of course they're not supposed to do that. the only reason we think they'e gutless sycophants is because the democrats are kind of joining in with that. throwing up their hands and being the totally ineffective lumps that got us here in the first place. if they're not going to fight for us then I certainly see how people think congress is useless. so far they are.

I'd love some feed back concerning exactly what the Dems can do. The world leaders standing up to trump have some power but I don't know what power the Dems have. I'd like to have ideas that I can suggest to both the DNC and others who are standing up and who might be considering doing something.

Oaktown's avatar

I just wrote a letter to the DNC on that topic and hope others do too. A few excerpts:

... You are not reaching the voters you will need to win in 2026. You MUST hire a savvy professional to take charge of your messaging, and I know who that is: Ron Filipkowski, the editor in chief of the Meidas Touch Network, which has been beating -- for WEEKS -- all YouTube channels, including Fox, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, and recently even Joe Rogan.

... You need to consult with him, LISTEN to what he says, and form an effective response and strategic plan for the Dems to implement IN UNISON. Ron does a Wed. podcast -- Uncovered -- with Anthony Davis, who hails from the UK, where he consulted with politicians on public relations before coming to the US. Please listen to their 3-5-25 podcast to learn how you could have planned a better resistance to Trump's speech to Congress than the Dems' feckless and disorganized attempts.

... You have once again installed establishment old guard dems to lead the party; that is a recipe for disaster. You seem to have no clue what you are dealing with here: a tech takeover of our personal and govt. data, a senile old man who has turned the presidency over to a lawless liar from the Nerd Reich (if you don't know what that is, look it up on Substack or YouTube), a Nazi party that has ceded its congressional power to a de facto king, and shocking breaches of our top secret files, which are being shared with our worst enemies, including Russia and China.

Every single person in the administration is either a crook, fraud, convicted criminal, sexual predator, drunk, incompetent, or all of those put together. You cannot resort to old rules that no longer apply.

... You must organize public resistance and support NOW, not six months before the election. Also, since almost all our politicians are clueless about tech, please listen to and consult Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway. ... The most effective weapon you have now is PEOPLE power and you are not harnessing it.

Good morning, peeps. Krasnov mango mussolini doesn't care. He says to farmers and government workers, "Have fun." It's his version of that quote that Marie Antoinette told her suffering people: "Let them eat cake!" The disrespect and disregard for human life is palpable. He is unscrupulous and despicable. His malignancy doesn't allow for him to have empathy. The same goes for the Hypo Manic megalomaniac Musk-RAT and the psychopath vance. These people enjoy seeing people suffer for their own gain. My question is, when are people finally coming together and rising up? We must do this, folks. We have approximately 90 days to stop this right-wing fascist regime. In Project 2025, their goal is to take complete control of EVERYTHING within 180 days. That's six months. Think about that.
