In my opinion, Trump’s MAGA means, (Manipulating Arrogant Godless Asses).
My question for all Americans is this. If you just found out that you have a malignant brain tumor that is operable. Who would you choose to do the surgery, a brain surgeon with 25 years of experience, or an 18 year old who just graduated from high school with no medical experience?
Well we have elected a president with no political experience, not just once, but twice. It doesn’t take a genius to see Trump is a fish out of water as he tries to commandeer the country.
America has always been a country where the Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Poorer. Trump’s big bill proves that the love of money is alive and well with the people who need it the least.
It was time for a new Maga definition........good work.
To get a slimmy grip on Maga....a deep dive into cults and their followers should be done.
Maga is not godless....sorry to say........their Lord and Savior has a bad Orange makeup job...bad combover hair transplant......is a womanzer 24/7 and plays dictator like a board game.
Absolutely he is a fish out of water! He is the most uninformed president we have ever had. When they talk about making videos of the reports because he won’t read them something is absolutely wrong. He is uneducated and the language along with the name calling just make me cringe.
He knows what Epstein documented! It doesn’t do anything for 🍊🫏. That he wants people to hear! But we can imagine! Nothing good!
202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121
Call any member of Congress!tell them they need to put the brakes on to trump n his incompetent, unqualified, corrupt cabinet, administration n advisors!
All my Senators and House Representatives are MAGA REPUBLICANS. I'm of no help! I did the best I could before the MURDER BILL was passed. Now all I can do is pray, protest, and try to stay alive!
@ MT 💙🏆💙You're here. That is encouraging. That truly is a help! It takes all of us in this effort. Trust me--you are part of a movement that is changing America and spreading across the Globe. It's the MTN and Meidas Mighty Resistance!
Thanks as ever for leading the charge; New Media (not to be confused with 70s New Journalism — though Hunter S would have loved podcasting) is the cavalry coming over the hill. In the nick of time.
Two quick points: living a half-hour south of the tragedy, we feel both local and federal offices bear responsibility. “DOGEthink” precedes Trusk by 45 years, back to Reagan “Government isn’t the solution. Government is the problem.” This disdain and disrespect for governance has been an excuse to be cheap (miserly, thrifty, whatever). The people voting down emergency management as recently as a month ago demonstrate Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush administrations’ attitudes are a moral abscess needing correction.
Second— we’re forgetting that despite the blessed interregnum of rationality, Trump is in a 2nd term, and no different than if they were continuous. Second terms kill reputations. Principle reason being after one term, personality-fatigue sets in and age becomes apparent.
Regardless of what the felon and his regime try to tell you, remember only 31.78% of Americans voted for him while 30.84% voted for Kamala Harris and a whopping 36.32% of registered voters didn't bother to vote at all!! He won by less than 1% - not a mandate, not a landslide. Of course, Muskrat's money helped and I still think the election should be investigated for fraud, cheating, stuffing the ballot box, whatever.
Actually we did not elect trump. Clear as day in the statistical analysis of the elections results. Pennsylvania has a Russian tail! Electiontruthalliance.org YouTube presentation of the Iowa results includes a tutorial for doing the math yourself. Smart Elections has recent YouTube presentation talking about new NY lawsuit. Manipulating vote tabulating leaves tell-tale artifacts!
I’m a gay white man from Cathedral City California, my birthplace is in Appalachia and I came here to show my family the light and expose Trump for what he is. I feel call not just by my country by also my belief in God. I still don’t know what that is but I know it is in every single fiber of my soul. I must take a stand for what is right.
You know, I generally avoid maga posts like the plague. But right now, I am commenting on every post I see from them as they are complaining about Epstein and Trump. Even if it’s just directed at the administration. And I’m not kicking them while they are down. We have to play smarter. I’m instead seeming like I’m joining them. “I can’t believe they lied! I wonder what else they are lying about. I bet he’s not even doing any of this to help us at all!” This isn’t the time to say I told you so. We won’t get anywhere with that. We need to help the cracks form until they shatter. If we come at them, we know they form a protective circle around him. Let’s nurture the fire that they are feeling towards them until it’s a boiling rage and then they turn that against their own “king”.
Excellent point, Rob. Shame is a toxic emotion and rarely works to change minds. There needs to be a face-saving option for MAGA to see the light finally, and Bondi's mishandling of the Epstein case might be it.
Great approach! People get defensive if you tell them they are wrong, stupid, or degrade them and it could lead to them doubling down even if they did have any doubts. Fantastic way to plant the seeds of doubt in a hostile/volatile audience!
unfortunately they either dont want to read, or to lazy to read or maybe they arent educated and cant read. Insanity we see from the Trump picks is off the wall crazy.
It's time to offer Maxwell a sweetheart deal to spill the tea, UNDER OATH! Was there a list? If there was a list, who were the adults on that list? What was the ages of the young ladies? etc. Let's see the actual truth of the matter. Bondi needs to go. She needs to be brought before the ABA to face questioning and possible disbarment proceedings, ASAP.
Watching Trump mumble and confabulate, resorting to "the likes of which no one's ever seen before," tangenting off to insult CNN and Hunter Biden in the same rambling word salad.... It's come to the point where I know HE is insane, but now, so am I. Not so long ago, this used to be a nation of intelligence, or so we thought. So - which stage of grief am I in?
Trump seems to use the same phrases over and over. Rambling is right, I watched him ramble and stutter trying to answer the question the reporter asked about the Epstein case. We as Americans want the truth about his involvement with Epstein, so no, we are not tired of talking about this case. Young girls were harmed mentally and physically.
I imagine the stages of grief might change day to day. This has been my experience, some days I say screw you to the administration, other days I feel extreme anger, to the point I rest my ears and eyes from the news. Denial, saying to myself it can be as bad as it looks, but the reality is it is. My anxiety and depression are present daily. The only part of grief I will not lend my mind to is acceptance. We cannot accept what is happening at this time. Fight those feelings. Fight for America, we deserve so much better.
You are in the stage of fighting until we win. Never give in or give up. Take a walk, smell the fresh air, get energized, like the energizer bunny and say to yourself, this is my country, I won't let him steal it from me. Think of all the harm he is doing to everyone and everything and instead of saying "how can he do that?" say "not on my watch." Participate in every way that you can or are comfortable doing. Push the grief aside, cry if you have to, but come back fighting stronger than ever. We all have to take small breaks from the madness of this regime to be able to handle it, but those breaks allow us to keep our sanity and grow stronger for the fight on our hands. We will win - it's just a matter of time. They are the insane ones, not us. God Bless, and step back, if you need to for a little rest and then come back and fight with us. We will carry on for each other in the meantime.
Not sure how this is Trumps worst day. Rammed through a budget that will keep on enriching him and his buddies. He will get his very own gestapo now. Thanks to the Supreme Court he can continue to fire as many USG employees as he feels like. He is TACO ing tariffs again so he can make a fortune timing the market. The Supremes say he is a very special boy and has immunity for all of his crimes. No one is held accountable in Trump 1.0. How will 2.0 be any different?
I agree; however who isn’t to say that one or more of those Supreme Court Judges aren’t part of Epstein’s files? Everything needs to be revealed. Everything!
In a time where so many things are going on, so many lies, so many misdirections, and so many opinions, I'm very grateful for Ben and your crew. You make sense of all the noise and pass it on to us. We're not always able to sit down and watch a whole session of Congress or whatever is going on. You do and you have the wonderful ability to sum it up and share what is important to our country. I will continue to watch! Thank you!
Midterms. We need a super majority. Let’s get to work. And let’s go old school. Highway billboards are not controlled by algorithms for viewers. Dominate with actual facts. They are cheaper than cable media and in the face of every FOX, Newsmax and right wing social media driver and passenger. Facts in their own state- # who lose Medicaid, # kids not getting SNAP/school lunches. # hospitals closing. Name of Reps and Senator who voted for this.
Absolutely go old school and use highway billboards, which incidentally, are picked up by social media. It seems that most messages are auditory but visual makes a huge impact. I would go full on “South Park.” Show the clown show as a cartoon.
I sent this idea to indivisible move on.org and 50501. Move on.org actually replied and thought it was a good idea and was sending it on, but I haven’t heard anything more. Now I’m starting to send it to individual red state democratic committees. We need a comprehensive approach.
I am so dejected at the moment. I tried to have a conversation with my mom yesterday about all the bad stuff going on and the lack of checks and balances, which was always her “excuse” about why she was okay with supporting him.
She said she has enough in her own life to worry about and that I can’t save the world so I just need to stop. I told her that I really just want to hear that she doesn’t agree with the cruelty and the meanness. She can’t even say that to me.
If some homophobe started screaming “dyke” to me in the streets, I think she would run away - and then somehow find a way to victim shame me for their outburst afterwards.
I cannot even talk to my own parents - I have no hope for the rest of the other half of the country who have zero empathy and zero interest in stopping this fascistic slide. I only hope they wake up before it’s too late.
I have no parents and everyone else in my family are all walking around in the fog of MAGA or are burying their heads in the sand hoping that when they decide to look up, everything will be OK again leaving the fight to me and others like me.
Well, there are a lot of people you can talk to here. We are all here to support one another in this journey through swamps, volcanos, lava, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, tropical storms, and anything else the MAGAs can throw at us. WE are here to listen, offer hope and spark energy into those who are going to be fighting back in this battle to keep our country free and at peace. Spill away and we will be here for you!
You are most Welcome, indeed. Draw strength from your own convictions. Establish healthy barriers (let others know you don’t care to discuss a subject but certainly appreciate their views.)
“I love you, but no. We’ve already had this conversation—no, thanks.” 😍 You can hold onto your personal power without becoming upset. You can refuse to “go there” with someone who wants to argue or reiterate things you’re already aware of. And, the best part is you can preserve “your personal/mental space” in a loving, non-confrontational way!
😇See? You are not alone! You're very brave to speak out. Just connect here and continue loving and respecting your folks without engaging in politics talk. Life will be so much sweeter, and you'll be happier! Try it! 💞
Thanks. I have called repeatedly. The reason for the falling out with my mom was that I asked her to please call our R senator and rep because they will not listen to me - I didnt vote for them (even though each won by a whisker). I begged her to stand up on the right side of history and for others and tell them: this is not what I voted for. But I guess it is after all.
Well, it isn't what I voted for, so if you did not vote for it either, then WE, and 78 million other "WEs" did not vote for it either. WE can't let 25% of our population dictate to the other 75% how we are to live and who is going to tell us what to do, or try to scare us and create fear so we will NOT question any of this or push back.
You may not be able to convince your mother, and there are many family members in my family who I would never be able to convince, but, you can join up with all of the people who are fighting back, calling, writing, and rallying - plus anything and everything on the list in my substack. - see link below.
There's no point in trying to convince your parents to be different than who they are. I know that I couldn't convince mine, and in fact, they couldn't convince me to be anything but who I am and I can tell you they tried and one used some pretty dirty tactics to attempt to gain her objective. Didn't work.
Be the best you that you can be and like Ed said, talk about other stuff and avoid politics. When people try to engage me in political conversations that I am clearly not aligned with and I can see that they are not open minded or wanting to have a discussion, but try to bait me into a fight, I sit there silently until they change the subject. It doesn't pay to engage with someone who cannot even try to see the other side of an issue.
I have a chat room in my substack if you ever want to start a conversation there...in the meantime, if there are other things you would like to do, take a peek at this article in my substack:
You need to see about getting RADM David Titley on your podcast. He’s the former Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography. He is a genius, although he will never admit it. He’s very humble.
He would be a perfect person to interview about the recent storms in Texas. If you need info to contact him, I may be helpful. I would rather you contact him through your own sources.
It should be every Democrat senator/representative’s job to get on talk shows/interviews about this Big Nasty Bill. The horrible effects of this bill should be shouted repeatedly so it reaches people everywhere. Over and over again before the 2026 election.
Yes! N Hawley is such a lieing po💩! Said he would not vote for it. Then he did. He needs to be removed from congress. Laughable that he even thinks about running for president! Represents Missouri but doesn’t live there!
In my opinion, Trump’s MAGA means, (Manipulating Arrogant Godless Asses).
My question for all Americans is this. If you just found out that you have a malignant brain tumor that is operable. Who would you choose to do the surgery, a brain surgeon with 25 years of experience, or an 18 year old who just graduated from high school with no medical experience?

America has always been a country where the Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Poorer. Trump’s big bill proves that the love of money is alive and well with the people who need it the least.
I would say that he is not a political outsider. He operates under the principle that it’s not what you know but who you know.
Much better description of the magas, Keith.
There's no money to be made in health....only sick people pay for health care
Just business as usual

With this schmuck, it’s doubly true.
How did he get elected? Are Americans that blinded?
Regardless of what the felon and his regime try to tell you, remember only 31.78% of Americans voted for him while 30.84% voted for Kamala Harris and a whopping 36.32% of registered voters didn't bother to vote at all!!

In past administrations they called it an off ramp 🤞
BOOM!
Great strategy. We need everyone to add factual comments and links to credible sources to online threads to water down all the disinformation.
Great approach! People get defensive if you tell them they are wrong, stupid, or degrade them and it could lead to them doubling down even if they did have any doubts. Fantastic way to plant the seeds of doubt in a hostile/volatile audience!
@ Cassidy ... "Kill them with kindness." 🙂
I like this idea.
unfortunately they either dont want to read, or to lazy to read or maybe they arent educated and cant read. Insanity we see from the Trump picks is off the wall crazy.
If they have commented - they have read the post - those are the MAGA’s to politely engage with 🤞
I tend to feel that way 99% of the time but would be interesting to join in with them on the Epstein issue
Absolutely!!!!!
💯 %
Brilliant!
It's time to offer Maxwell a sweetheart deal to spill the tea, UNDER OATH! Was there a list? If there was a list, who were the adults on that list? What was the ages of the young ladies? etc. Let's see the actual truth of the matter. Bondi needs to go. She needs to be brought before the ABA to face questioning and possible disbarment proceedings, ASAP.
What about the flight plans that were filed by Epstein’s plane. This administration; They are ALL liars!
Yes! That's part of the "etc." America needs to see everything related to it.
This regime; They are all liars
That’s a prerequisite to belonging to the club.
She wouldn’t talk anyway for fear of death by hanging, like Epstein.
She might not even need that much to be fired. Lara Loomer has called for Trump to get rid of her. We'll see. Disbarment would be an added bonus.
GREATLY AGREE AND THE TIME IS NOW!!!!
She cannot be disbarred while serving in office for actions she took in office.
I heard that on a legal podcast.
Bummer
Ben, you and your team bringing truth to the masses is making a huge difference! Thank you!!!💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙
Thanks for the positive words, always encouraging as we continue to ride this up and down rollercoaster. Hang in, you all are doing a great job!
Keep on keeping on! The truth is strong and the people need to hear it. Moving forward to a better tomorrow.

I feel like you!
202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121 will reach any member of congress! Like to call trump ass kissers n tell to start packing!
You are fast cycling through all the stages of grief like a whirling teacup ride, like so many of us are. At least we have each other. Keep the faith.
That is a visual that fits exactly right. Thank you. We must ask for help when we need it. You helped me.
I love your “whirling tea cup ride” description. That’s classic!! 😂😂💙💙💙💙
You are in the stage of fighting until we win. Never give in or give up. Take a walk, smell the fresh air, get energized, like the energizer bunny and say to yourself, this is my country, I won't let him steal it from me. Think of all the harm he is doing to everyone and everything and instead of saying "how can he do that?" say "not on my watch." Participate in every way that you can or are comfortable doing.

We will carry on for each other in the meantime.
Yeah, when he brought up Hunter, I started thinking he has “Biden-On-The-Brain” syndrome.
Not sure how this is Trumps worst day. Rammed through a budget that will keep on enriching him and his buddies. He will get his very own gestapo now. Thanks to the Supreme Court he can continue to fire as many USG employees as he feels like. He is TACO ing tariffs again so he can make a fortune timing the market. The Supremes say he is a very special boy and has immunity for all of his crimes. No one is held accountable in Trump 1.0. How will 2.0 be any different?
I feel the cracks forming and seeing more and more blatant screwups they can’t hide. But SCOTUS helping them along is what hampers any progress imo
I agree; however who isn’t to say that one or more of those Supreme Court Judges aren’t part of Epstein’s files? Everything needs to be revealed. Everything!
Kavanaugh I would be a good bet on that one!
Very true!
WE THE PEOPLE will make it different! It’s LONG OVERDUE!!!

Thanks. I have called repeatedly. The reason for the falling out with my mom was that I asked her to please call our R senator and rep because they will not listen to me - I didnt vote for them (even though each won by a whisker). I begged her to stand up on the right side of history and for others and tell them: this is not what I voted for. But I guess it is after all.
Well, it isn't what I voted for, so if you did not vote for it either, then WE, and 78 million other "WEs" did not vote for it either. WE can't let 25% of our population dictate to the other 75% how we are to live and who is going to tell us what to do, or try to scare us and create fear so we will NOT question any of this or push back.
You may not be able to convince your mother, and there are many family members in my family who I would never be able to convince, but, you can join up with all of the people who are fighting back, calling, writing, and rallying - plus anything and everything on the list in my substack. - see link below.
There's no point in trying to convince your parents to be different than who they are. I know that I couldn't convince mine, and in fact, they couldn't convince me to be anything but who I am and I can tell you they tried and one used some pretty dirty tactics to attempt to gain her objective. Didn't work.
Be the best you that you can be and like Ed said, talk about other stuff and avoid politics. When people try to engage me in political conversations that I am clearly not aligned with and I can see that they are not open minded or wanting to have a discussion, but try to bait me into a fight, I sit there silently until they change the subject. It doesn't pay to engage with someone who cannot even try to see the other side of an issue.
I have a chat room in my substack if you ever want to start a conversation there...in the meantime, if there are other things you would like to do, take a peek at this article in my substack:

Every morning I look for your email. Thank you for doing this important work.
Thank you for all you do 🙏💕
You need to see about getting RADM David Titley on your podcast. He’s the former Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography. He is a genius, although he will never admit it. He’s very humble.
He would be a perfect person to interview about the recent storms in Texas. If you need info to contact him, I may be helpful. I would rather you contact him through your own sources.
All the best.

It should be every Democrat senator/representative’s job to get on talk shows/interviews about this Big Nasty Bill. The horrible effects of this bill should be shouted repeatedly so it reaches people everywhere. Over and over again before the 2026 election.
Yes! N Hawley is such a lieing po💩! Said he would not vote for it. Then he did. He needs to be removed from congress. Laughable that he even thinks about running for president! Represents Missouri but doesn’t live there!
