Maga is a lie, a con, a cancer. It is not about betterment and it has no agenda to do better. It absolutely is about revenge, racism, cruelty, and fascism.
A "motion to vacate" must now be supported by at least nine Republican members to trigger a vote, a significant increase from the previous single-member requirement.
Votes for Removal: Once a vote is triggered, a simple majority of the House is needed to remove the Speaker.
As I said Saturday, there are more than that in Dem majority states like Minnesota, California, NY. There are more in the House problem solvers' conference.
I.E. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Sunday pushed for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign after his name appeared in files linked to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Opposition to Speaker Election: Massie was the only Republican to vote against Speaker Mike Johnson’s election in early 2025.
Failed Ouster Attempt: Massie joined a move to remove Speaker Johnson, stating he was "losing political capital by the second".
Policy Disputes: Massie heavily criticized Johnson for working with Democrats on spending bills and for not holding votes on releasing Jeffrey Epstein files.
Repercussions: Following his opposition, Massie was removed from the powerful House Rules Committee in January 2025.
In January 2025, Johnson removed Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, citing a desire for a "fresh start" in the new Congress. Turner, a critic of Donald Trump and supporter of Ukraine aid, was replaced following pressure from conservative hard-liners.
Dozens of House Republican members oppose Trump on Ukraine, tariffs, other policies.
Yes. Yes it is. Where was he when trump's gestapo was murdering people? Where has he been when Trump sent the national guard into DC? Where has he been while Israel is committing genocide... oh right. He's in aipac's pocket. Where is his commitment to getting the epstein files released? He's all talk, and until democrats figure that out we're going to keep getting into these messes.
Jasmine Crockett is running for senator, but she would have been a MUCH better speaker. We went from Pelosi to Jeffries. Bad to just as bad. Maybe you should really look into other candidates and see that we deserve, and can elect better. Mamdani is the perfect example. No corporations behind him. The dnc wasn't behind him. Schumer and Mamdani refused to endorse him and instead pushed a well known sexual harasser/deviant, Andrew Cuomo.
Also sir, I'm not brainwashed. I'm able to lift the curtain and take a critical look of the people in congress, while you are blindly following terrible people just because they have a D next to their name. Of course Jeffries told Trump to go fuck himself. Because something FINALLY affected him personally. He doesn't give a shit about anyone else. Strongly worded letters don't do shit. Action does. Maybe Ro Khanna should be speaker. He's doing things.
I am writing from Europe. I am watching the development in US with horror.
Putin always wanted to see Europe and NATO demolished, because he didn't gave up his dream of Eurasia, ruled by him. Europe, which (still) stands for democracy, is an obstacle. US was also an obstacle, but not anymore. I really didn't think, that Orwell's warning or sick vision of Iljin and Dugin could actually come true, but here we are.
That's why I hope that something happens and trump stops acting like a russian asset.
Or just stops acting.
I want the democracy to surive these horrible times. For all of us. For our children.
Wanting democracy to survive isn’t abstract. It’s about people being safe. It’s about dignity. It’s about your kids growing up in a world where truth matters, where power has limits, where no one is above the law.
Living on this side of the pond, Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign not because he is somehow connected to epstein, rather because he appointed someone connected to that shithead. Europeans are taking epstein and those connected to him very seriously, accountability coming swiftly while the US deflects and covers up. All to what, protect a useless spoiled brat who yells at the TV, spends all his time bitching and moaning about everything, throwing his toys out of the pram. Bob DeNiro said it best, FUCK TRUMP!
What is your opinion Old Man (feels rude to call you that lol) about whether Starmer should resign? I am on the fence. I do feel that for those connected to Epstein, resignations aren't enough. Investigations are needed to determine what their connections were, what they knew and when and then actual justice needs to be served. Losing a title or a job isn't enough for covering for a pedophile or for raping children.
Ann, calling me OM is fine. On the isolated matter of appointing PM I do not support Starmer resigning. He appears nowhere in the files, was not connected at all to epstein. Yes it was a difficult decision and indicators may have pointed to a no, don’t name PM. Yet Keir was concerned about having an Ambassador who could be effective dealing with the asshole in the White House. My understanding is that Mandelson did do that well. Who knows, given trump’s desire to manipulate everything, someone close to him could have reached out to Keir saying Mandelson was a good idea. I am particularly annoyed at the BBC, they have a one track mind on this and are being close minded. On a recent NewsNight, a guest tried to present a balanced view and the host wanted none of it. Same on a Radio 4 program.
I agree. My feeling was similar. He isn't the one in the files. He appoints a guy who hasn't been held accountable, if the guy is walking around free, who is he to judge what his connection to Epstein was? As some keep saying not everyone in the files is guilty, we need to look at WHY they were in the files, and I am not sure that knowledge was present when Starmer was appointing him. I would want the focus on investigating the guy who was in the files not worrying about the guy who appointed him.
Thank you for the information. There are truly media outlets that give voice to the people and speak what is in their hearts.
As an Afghan veteran who was abandoned under Mr. Trump’s policies, I sincerely appreciate your continued efforts and the information you consistently provide.
You are right, take care of home first. But thinking parochially is the wrong home to be worried about. Earth is MY home and those other countries you mentioned are also my home. Nation-states and religion will bring down the human race.
It will be an interesting hearing with Ghislaine Maxwell, who will not answer any questions. Of course, the truth should incriminate her if she is guilty!!!! She’s already in prison (well, she WAS in prison. Now she’s at camp.). Why not tell the truth once and for all? Oh, that’s right. She might be moved back to prison if she tells the truth, and she will NEVER be pardoned by Trump is she sings!!! Also, Pam Bondi may be grilled, but she will only answer and show any respect to Republican Senators. She will act as if Democratic Senators are gnats that are bothering her. When did that become the norm for Cabinet members to be totally disdainful and disrespectful when they appear before Congress??? And she will spout lies about the Biden administration’s “open borders” (that was NEVER his policy), the rigged 2020 election that THEY are going to get to the bottom of, and now their favorite topic whenever HIllary Clinton’s name comes up - Benghazi. How amazing that now that Clinton will testify to Comer Pyle’s committee, the DOJ miraculously captures someone involved in the Benghazi killings from years ago……In short, Bondi will be of no use regarding ICE and especially not about the Epstein Files.
What a contrast! The prime mininister of the U.K. An honorable man Will probably have to resign because his judgement is questioned for appointing Peter Mandelson a friend of Epstein as the Ambassador to the United States but the pedophile Trump who is mentioned thousands of times in those Epstein files doesn’t appear to be at risk of prosecution. In America today it would appear that justice no longer matters. How will you ever rid yourselves of this felon who should be in jail already for rape and corruption.
Thanks Ben: The thing that really pisses me off is the way Trump and the administration deal with Ukraine. Do they not know that they are defending Europe and all those NATO allies. Biden gave his word speaking for the USA and the USA has walked out . The USA can no longer be trusted. Trump and his inept team of misfits couldn't negotiate a peace plan is it was handed to them. As far as Ms. Maxwell goes, she is doing time for trafficking and other perverted sex crimes against little girls and boys so in the event she does answer any questions it will be untrue. Taking the fifth only enhances her guilt. Get her back into a high security slammer and add a few years on. They should treat her the way Trump gets things done. Tell us what we want to know dear or we will get ten more years added on to your present sentence.
Trumps maltreatment of Ukraine is wholly intentional. He is in bed with evil, with the murderer, Putin. And who knows who all else wanting to rearrange the world. We have all been caught flat-footed.
Kim you should join Substack. It’s free and there’s an ever increasing amount of stellar journalism reported every minute of the day where you don’t need the failing legacy media and X and now TikTok who omit important information. MTN and so many others supply us now with up to date news‼️
I am not sure why we are still dealing with el Capiton the spin master. He is like a 6 armed con running a shell game. There is el hefie voight who plants unimaginable ideas deep into El captons head and of course there is Sgt Schultz, who knows nothing, also known as miller.
Together all 3 of these ring leaders have distracted, distracted & distracted every time they open their mouths to deny, deny & deny any & all shreds of honesty. Their only goal is power they do not care what get broken in the process.
I thank God for Meidas Touch for your ability to set the democracy for all the world to see. We call out the ineptitude & insanity of those who believe they hold the power. We expose the idiocy of their actions and we will soon vote them out of their misguided attempts for total control.
I’m unable to see any of your posts on tick tock for days. I have to actually search for you. And many other accounts I follow which are ones calling out this administration and trump.
I have had multiple replies refused on FB over the past week. Not belligerent or mean. Just facts and truth. So Bezos is busy earning those pre purchased movie tickets I guess.
Supporting Ukraine is protecting Europe and the free world from the likes of Putin. Sadly, Trump aligns himself with Putin and other dictators.
Maga is a lie, a con, a cancer. It is not about betterment and it has no agenda to do better. It absolutely is about revenge, racism, cruelty, and fascism.
First order of business is to get rid of MAGA. Within a matter of hours, Hakeem Jeffries (or someone like Don Bacon) could be Speaker of the House
https://jerryweiss.substack.com/
We need a steel spine to lead!
Jeffries needs to go (Schumer as well). Absolutely spineless. We need a real opposition leader.
You are brainwashed!!!!!!!
To quote Hakeem Jeffries: "Fuck Donald Trump!”
Cursing out Trump is an extremely low bar. We need actual change. Not ineffective "leadership" that is performative at best.
We are a minority party. You don't know jack.
Views on ICE, especially re Minnesota are shifting rapidly. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-public-opinion-shifting-against-ice-may-affect-the-dhs-funding-showdown-in-congress
We need to pressure 9 Republican House members.

Talking to a Democrat is like banging your head against a wall. I'm not reading all that. I know what I see.
He said that after the drumpf's racist post of the Obamas. So, no, it is not a low bar for a black man to say FDT!
Yes. Yes it is. Where was he when trump's gestapo was murdering people? Where has he been when Trump sent the national guard into DC? Where has he been while Israel is committing genocide... oh right. He's in aipac's pocket. Where is his commitment to getting the epstein files released?

Traditional democrats are all talk and no action.

Some of us actually worked with this stuff. You have no clue what actually happens in Congress.
I have a brain. Democrats are polling in something like the low thirties. This is the reason why. WAKE UP.
Schumar does need to go however... So that was accurate.
And benefitting DJT, his associates, and all of his corrupt administration.

And, who really is calling for his resignation? Is it the far right?

Thank you Ben, Brett and Jordy and all the meidas team contributors for all you are doing each and every day!
Keep striving and never give up , because truth and justice will prevail in the end !
Sending you and all your followers our heartfelt love and support.
Don’t give up and don’t give in - brighter days will come !

They don't want to defend Ukraine or Europe from Putin unless they make a lot of money doing so.

I feel the same way.

I use YouTube … its great.
