You and Heather Cox Richardson are my “go to” news sources plus PBS. I live in South Carolina—need I say more??? I am certainly disappointed that all the media is focused on Rs running for Senate; they rarely mention Annie. She is a formidable and hard working candidate. Go Annie! I hope you will write more about her and interview her.

There were quite a few snarky things being said right in front of the malignant narcissist president that i found quite pleasing.

Even as a 🇨🇦 saying I enjoyed Watching Trump squirm while Wolf Blitzer announced the journalists names and their accomplishments to win an award for exposing Trumps shameful actions was an understatement 👏🫶🏻🥳

I didn’t watch the WHCD but I did see a few excerpts after the fact, including Blitzer’s presentation.

And as recipients were shaking hands with Trump, it looked like he was leaning in, preparing to give and receive a hug from the first recipient who was a woman. But she turned and walked away. And at first trump looked stunned then he shrugged. Maybe he was shocked about being shunned.

Another poster above remarked that trump received way too much acquiescence from the relatively small crowd. I agree.

He actually insulted them directly to their faces. The whole event was a farce. Trump actually stole the event and now he owns it. And the deferential performative tone of the event definitely diminished the credibility of the WHCA.

Coming to the realization that Trump is not a president, but, rather, a Regime Dictator, suddenly, it all makes sense.

It is beyond difficult to accept the fact that our country is turning authoritarian. It just sounds so, extreme. Which is why so many people turn a blind eye towards it. But history has shown us, repeatedly, this is exactly what is occurring.

Thank you for your honest, accurate detailed reporting. The Midas team is the best! There are many on your team but…one person can make a difference. You have proved that, Ben.

Please make wise choices and don't fall for the AIPAC - ANTI-DEMOCRACY candidates that they're promoting! Watch out for the ANONYOUS DARK MONEY propaganda that seems real!

Make sure to do your research.

New Hampshire is a prime example! SUNUNU is a LOBBYIST, wrote ANTI- RENEWABLES article, but DARK MONEY is flooding the markets.

SUNUNU campaign donors are EPSTEIN supporters. Meidas reported:

John Sununu Campaign Took Money from Donors With Epstein Ties

Sununu’s donor list is a who’s who of the Epstein class

Thank you, yet again! To see Kristen Welker laughing with Stephen Miller was sickening. Sadly, not the person I thought she was.
