Adam Kinzinger is a heroic public servant. Can you ask him how he plans to impeach and imprison the Orange felon and muskrat? We are all FBI agents now, fighting to save our sacred democracy: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/we-are-all-fbi-agents-now

This is the exact plan they’re doing now: check out billionaire conspiracy dot com

Especially the horrific words of Curtis Yarvin. Read EVERY word EVERY word

Connie S's avatar

I just looked the website up. It’s as I suspected, they are 💯 following the billionaire n*zi beliefs. It’s long past time to call out trump, musk, their and all other billionaires who are subverting our country.

Adam Knight's avatar

Curtis Yarvin IS P2025. Their actually out to kill everyone who is a billionaire!!!

REALLY Kim?! you're putting a link to hawk a product? take advantage much? not the time/place. Your friend Laura got booted for this very same activity.

My thoughts EXACTLY 🙄😑

Probably the same bot with a different name.

Not just impeach. That's been done to no avail. Imprisonment would be the best, but not gonna happen. Invoke the 25th Amendment to the Constitution and remove him from office. Heck, send him to Mars. It wouldn't be easy (invoking the amendment AND sending to Mars ;-), but it might send a message. I'm just so discouraged right now. Our country is just f....ked!

Robin's avatar

I agree with Pat's note. Also, it's not over until we quit. Don't quit. Play the long game. It's gonna hurt for a while, but not forever if we don't stop.

No one's coming to save us.

Robin's avatar

P.s I know at least I can do 3 things they can’t: my own laundry, travel to Europe, and happily eat beans and rice. ;-)

Pat Robinson's avatar

Keep in mind they want you to be discouraged, and while that is an appropriate feeling, don't let it lead to inaction...instead work on letting it motivate you to action, even if it's small actions like phone calls. Persons of color have been working for decades to get some degree of equality and freedom (so sad Black men gave the election to trump based don what most if not all analysts have said which has set back the cause for equality decades with the racism in the administration and the official stance that persons of color and women are not as qualified for anything as white men). I cannot imagine how discouraged slaves must have felt both before the Civil War and after when they were supposed to be "free" and then there were all the Jim Crow laws and now there is trump. Seems the fight for liberty and justice for all is never ending and requires a lot of folks in the fight. Jessica raven reported in her subtack Chop Wood Carry Water that there is a lot of movement..today's edition is a good read, and I found her comments about a new Indivisible chapter meeting was very encouraging.. Having said that I too feel a lot of discouragement and seem to go around with a knot in my stomach. With such little mainstream coverage of anything the Dems are doing it is hard to think they are doing nothing, but it seems some actually are.

There are a lot of people all over the world, like myself from Denmark, who are rooting for you and just wish we could help in some way. Believe that you're not alone. We stand with you!

Pat Robinson's avatar

Thank you so much for your kindness, not just in rooting for us but in letting us know! Of course seeing the outpouring of support from all over the world makes many of us want to move to one of these nations, but at least for now most of us are choosing to stay and fight! And believe me your encouragement means more that I can say!

Lone Birgitte Reeslev's avatar

Not Mars! Teheran! I bet they'll receive him with open arms!

Musk does NOT have immunity!

DOGE’s crimes should be investigated & charged (by DOJ, state AG’s ), AND civil actions should immediately be brought to stop the illegal acts, protect our data from further distribution, & to recover the damage already done to millions of all U.S. citizens’ privacy.

Non-federal prosecutors are free to bring state criminal & civil cases, & Trump cannot pardon any of those state convictions or civil judgments.

Americans are owed Damages ( in the form of Cash not bitcoin!) for the anticipated Irreparable Harm!

Are we sure 47 does? How are these things “presidential”?

Bonnie Sue Miller's avatar

This is very exciting news, Ben! Looking forward to hearing more from Adam on all things Trump and Musk. Congratulations!

Becky Daiss's avatar

It's when things seem the most dire, like now, that MT's fearless fighting spirit gives me hope and strengthens my resolve to keep fighting. There aren't enough thanks to give.

Karen Mohr's avatar

Thanks for all you do, and please also report that there is a major protest planned for next Monday (Presidents’ Day), an economic boycott on 2/28, and a national strike on 3/15.

JC's avatar

Could you or someone provide more info on the protest and boycott?

Pat Robinson's avatar

We need to get the word out about these activities. Please, everyone, tell all your friends and include on any facebook posts or post to other substacks or whatever.

Phgladko's avatar

Do you have more info?

Linda's avatar

That is so wonderful to hear❤️

Sandra's avatar

Ben, please continue to emphasize Trump's CRUELTY. It is something everyone can relate to. Thank you, thank you for working so hard for us. God bless you and yours.

Adam Knight's avatar

What ph**es me off it NONE of the bloated orange cabinet picks are qualified, but the spineless Repugants are just kissing his aZZ & putting in Gabbard & RFK & Patel. FFS MILITARY COUP REQUIRED!

Sara Frischer's avatar

Adam Kinzinger is awesome, I subscribe to his Substack. Looking forward to the interview. Wonderful!

Adam Knight's avatar

I watched Adam yesterday about the Hone murder case. AK was a tad younger.

Dolores Santana's avatar

Good morning. One of the consequences of this administration hit home for my family. My daughter, who is a Scientist, got let go yesterday, along with her Supervisor and others with PhD's!!! Her company does medical research and works very closely with NIH. She has been with this company for 4 years, her supervisor, 10 years. This was done randomly. It was because of research funding. My daughter lives in San Diego and was in the military. Her husband is a veteran who almost lost his arm while serving in the Middle East almost 2 years ago. He is doing well now. He is still waiting for his disability from the Army, which is around 70%. No money yet. This dictator is doing everything he says. A situation like my daughter's cannot be resolved through the courts like the federal employees. She tells me that it will be very difficult to find a job in her field. She is 36. The company she was working for is one of the best with excellent benefits and pay. I am so stressed out!!! As a parent, our children always come first!! The reason I am bringing all of this up is because it could happen to anyone. We have to stop this insane man and Elon Hitler as soon as possible!!! Our lives depend on this!!! Please accept my apology for not sticking to today's topic, but my daughter is all I have on my mind now.

Real experiences like your's need to be voiced, shouted and shared.

What is TRULY happening!

Share share share

Julie O's avatar

I'm so sorry for your daughter and family. I don't mind you going "off topic" because this is a community that cares about others, unlike the regime. They're destroying millions of lives and now your family is another casualty. They're so cruel, it's incomprehensible to us. I hope your daughter can find a good job, and soon!

Tricia's avatar

I’m so very sorry for your daughter and you. I know many who are losing their jobs and it’s devastating. My thoughts are with you.

Terron's avatar

My heart goes out to you and your family. No one wanted this, except those awful maga people. They were left behind educationally and now counter expertise with ignorance and yell louder.

This will not end well.

All I can offer at this point... Welcome to Canada. At least consider it. Best, Ter

Pam Edgeworth's avatar

Dolores, I'm so sorry for your daughter and many others. Yesterday the NIH restarted all of the research/grant/contract payments at the budgeted level. I'm hoping your daughter gets a call that she can come back!

Dolores Santana's avatar

My daughter doesn't work for NIH. She works for a medical research company that works closely with NIH.

Linda's avatar

It’s totally a crime that this is even happening and the people need to retaliate..Trump is allowing this because he said he would be a Dictator with Musk’s help…Citizens need to rise up in protests since we have that constitutional right…There was no logical reason of letting good talented people go such as your daughter and others…God bless you and your family…United we stand…

Kathy's avatar

Delores, my heart goes out to you and your family.Please keep sharing your story…America needs to know.

💙

Donna R.'s avatar

I am so sorry to hear that your daughter and others have lost their jobs. We have a world renound research hospital in my city. The local news featured the cuts with interviews of people whom are facing the same.

D. Lerit's avatar

I have read from the Punchbowl News that Trump’s approvability rating increased to 53% just today. Am I hallucinating? What is going on? Are Americans that stupid?

Linda C Johnson's avatar

Rigged... just like MSM and the election in my opinion.

D. Lerit's avatar

In addition, my local news station here in LA is not showing the huge demonstrations all over the country against Trump and his ilk. News suppression- we are becoming Russia 2.0. When will Americans wake up?

D. Lerit's avatar

Hope so! It just makes me wonder … why there are smart people who still admires him and his narcissistic ways. All the things he is doing now is REALLY BAD for the economy, many economists agree to this. Are these people not digesting what’s out there?

Sherry Mohre's avatar

You can’t believe a word any of them say, polls are rigged and false info is everywhere. How many actually believe that Trump actually took every swing state in the election ? Seems highly impossible and since Trump has publicly thanked the alien African for making sure the swing states all voted for him makes it scream foul play. Sure fits right into the project 2025 playbook.

Stacy's avatar

I really didn't believe that until Elon starting raiding things. WHY didn't the Democrats demand recounts?

Linda's avatar

Agree…Dems should have requested a recount just like Trump did in 2020 and Kamala could have said this was a bought election and illegal…Dems aren’t crybabies and are more upstanding than Trump and his magats…

Maryann W's avatar

Except if Musk messed with the computer systems would anyone be able to tell? My thought is that SURELY the US government (at least prior to now) has employed hackers who are just as good as anyone Muskrat (sorry, Muskrats!) has. Maybe, just maybe, some of them are working behind the scenes to counter some of this? I guess we can hope.

Stacy's avatar

Rumor was they were worried about civil war, but I don't buy that because WE had the presidency at the time. It would have been Biden's military.

Stacy's avatar

They're a cult of personality and it won't hit them until it directly hits their wallets.

James G. Hermsen's avatar

I have a long time friend who is taking early retirement and taking his family and emigrating out of the Americas. Far from Trump's natzi reach. This is a real serious time not only here in America, but the world as we are on the threshold of a Dark Age to come just like Germany in 1933.

D. Lerit's avatar

I agree with you. I am making plans to emigrate, too. This is not the America that I grew up with. I think America has lost his soul, his humanity. We all aspire to be rich but reality is that so many people need help just to live. Before, America’s heart was on it. Not now, when everything is for ME, ME, ME as embodied in Trump. I feel sad for its demise. China’s at the doorstep. Some say, it is already the most powerful in the world in just one TRUMPIAN BLINK!

Linda's avatar

True…Musk is even interfering with Germany…The power of being richest man has gone to his head and Trump relishes it but I think he will eventually get bitten…They are ruining our Country and what it stands for…We can only stand to together in unity and hoping for public protest everywhere in the U.S…..

Terron's avatar

An outlier poll. Most are starting to show Rump starting to sink.

Only about 30% of Americans are stupid magats.

Bad, I know but tolerable if you guys can dump Rump!

Rusty (Woke/DEI Commenter)'s avatar

I read the same and was wondering what they’re seeing that I am totally blind to. Am I so out of touch? I’m watching & reading news 2+ hours a day.

Mary Kay's avatar

They truly want a White Nationalist Dictator to restore White Supremacy--that's why they cheer him on, regardless of what he does. Tragic but friggn true, it's been there a long long time--we just never had a White, Rich Psychopath win the White House to do it for them -- we are in for the fight of our lives, we better wise up to their MO!

Diane's avatar

Depending on where they get their news, they aren't getting what we are, which is the actual truth. All they see and hear is their dear leader being strong and taking action against the "bad guys". For others, cruelty is the draw. They feed on it...unless it affects them.

Linda's avatar

The wake up call is coming for those Magats when it has already hitting their pockets…It will come!

Maryann W's avatar

I had the same thought and great subscribers here helped me feel better....remember how they messed with the polls pre-election. Why would they stop now? Plus anything coming from so much of the media now is suspect. So thankful for Meidas Touch!

Allison's avatar

I am wondering if he will try to skew the economic numbers now that he is taking over all the govt agencies...need to make sure real economists are tracking things, but much of the inflation numbers, etc. are based on government information.

Donna R.'s avatar

And now that they've hacked into the system, they can skew all information and present it as truth.

Rob Jonas's avatar

I could rig a poll to show that Benito Mussolini was the most popular politician in the history of Italy. I pay no attention to polls anymore. They can be formulated to get any result the poll makers desire.

Dem4ever's avatar

Apparently they are. ..how disgustingly disappointing

Julie O's avatar

Awesome news!!! Love Adam, can't wait for this! 😁😁😁

Adam's avatar

You love me? But we haven't even... oh. Him!

Hahaha! Merely joking.

Erin Hogue's avatar

Adam Kinzinger is a true patriot and I have a deep admiration for him. I can’t wait!!

Stella Roberts's avatar

Thank you Ben and MTN? It gives me hope that our democracy is not completely lost. Praying you all stay safe 🙏

Gayla Kunis's avatar

Will be recorded? I am busy at that time.

Mary-Lou Rouviere's avatar

So happy to hear about the new live segments. Looking forward to them. Thank you

Marti Cannon's avatar

Love this! May I suggest that we take a look at the right wing agenda, and how it’s also showing up in other countries? Germany is having their elections soon, and the Alt-right party is taking center stage. Many Germans are shocked and angry about history repeating itself.

Allison's avatar

Can someone dig into Elon's efforts to influence that election!

Linda's avatar

Only those Germans can stop history repeating itself….I hope they will get a better outcome than we got because Musk is behind this all with the Trump’s blessing….

Donna R.'s avatar

It is surreal of all countries to have history repeat itself.

virginia arthur's avatar

Musk is supporting the far right in Germany.

Maureen kibler's avatar

Keep it up Meidas Mighty. We need you more than ever now. We are with you ALL THE WAY!!!

Ruthie Stockdale's avatar

Thank you Meidas Touch for being our rock. All I want is the

truth about what is happening in the drunken administration. I know I can count on you to say it like it is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do for US. I wish you great success!!
