I had the privilege of sitting down with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a leader who isn’t just talking about fighting back against Trump’s reckless policies—he’s actually doing it. And winning.
We kicked things off with his major victory: Shapiro sued the federal government after Trump’s administration froze $2.1 billion in funds meant for Pennsylvania. This wasn’t just bureaucratic red tape—this was money meant to fix collapsing roads, clean up abandoned mine fields, and stop methane leaks harming the health of Pennsylvanians. Trump and his cronies thought they could pull a fast one, but Shapiro took them to court and got every last dollar back.

This is what leadership looks like. It’s about standing up for the people, not bending the knee to billionaire donors and far-right extremists. While Trump and his enablers lie about “fake” voter concerns, Governor Shapiro is out in deep-red parts of Pennsylvania, actually listening. And guess what? Even in these Republican-leaning areas, people are fed up. They see the damage being done. They don’t want Medicaid slashed. They don’t want their Social Security and personal data handed over to some 20-something “tech bros” who worship Elon Musk. They want real leadership that works for them.
And then there’s Trump’s absolute betrayal of America’s veterans. His administration’s budget cuts disproportionately harm those who’ve served. Meanwhile, he cozies up to dictators like Putin, making America weaker on the global stage. As Governor Shapiro put it, we need a president who wants to be leader of the free world, not someone looking to join an “axis of evil” with Russia and North Korea.
Through it all, Shapiro remains focused on what actually matters—protecting Pennsylvania families, investing in childcare and education, and ensuring that every community, red or blue, gets the resources they need.
This is why elections matter. This is why our voices matter. We need leaders like Josh Shapiro who fight for us, not for themselves. And elected officials all over the nation should look to the governor’s success in taking on Trump and beating him—and replicate that everywhere.
Let’s stay focused.

Gov. Josh Shapiro lead the way against President Dementia Don
Democrats need to elevate more women of color. They will save democracy from Dementia Don. Harris / Whitmer 2028 would be great!
what a lovely thought. But not now. Now when we are dealing with a bunch of hard core misogynists and bigots. Sadly, right now we need a strong white male. Andrew Cuomo is running for NYC mayor. I would love to see him run for president. (I'd love Josh shapiro too but again with the bigot thing...he's jewish)
Agree with you about the misogynists/bigots, but Cuomo is a crook. And don't forget the allegations about sexual misconduct. Last thing we need is another crook/groper in the WH.
Thank you Dik de Bruijn ! He was governor of my state, New York State. He is not fit to hold any elected position ! Saying he’s a crook is being kind. Unless you were from a town or city in New York State, you might not know that he, in his own right, is a Donald Trump ! He bullies, yells, seeks revenge, and lies like an old torn rug !
but he believes in democracy and he's tough. He'd make trump eat crow.
the truth is, there aren't a lot of completely honest politicians. right now we need someone smart and tough. Find me someone else and I'm all in.
"but he believes in democracy . . . " He believes in elevating Andrew Cuomo, and if that requires kissing Trump's . . . ring, then I believe he'd do it in a NY minute. Same basic personality -- narcissistic bullies craving attention and power. [But that's most politicians except maybe Josh Hawley. He wants attention, power, and a bunker to hide in when things get rough.]
They are all flawed in some way. Yeah cuomo is a bully. If all he did was bully republicans so they shaped up, I’d love it. But it might not end there so I guess no. But we need someone who is willing to duke it out with the republicans
What exactly does "believes in democracy" mean to you? If his ability to "make Trump eat crow" is appealing to you, maybe you're just looking for a bully to beat up another bully?
Candace, he does not believe in democracy as we know it. I wish I was wrong.
and it doesn't have to be a white man, geez racist and sexist. You have nothing but ,crimin, racist, rapist, adjudicated sexual assaulters in this administration and they are white and unqualified.
Good for you ! As an older retired, white woman, I approve of your depiction 💞
Adam Kinsinger, Corey Booker. Trump isn’t very smart. He really doesn’t know much about government history or leadership… our next pick needs to be some one with brains and character. Because we have none of that in the WH
Pete Buttigieg would be great.
And I love Adam kinsiger
I would not hesitate to vote for Liz Cheney
Excuse us, white men are the reason we are in this MESS!
I live in Harlem. MY neighbors are black, a lot of my friends are black. I would vote for a black man, or a woman, black or white as long as they are the best candidate. I voted for Kamala. I thought she was fantastic. I’m just being realistic. Right now our country would not vote for a woman or a black man, and that’s why we have trump. If Kamala Harris had been a white man I think trump would lost. A lot of people sat the election out rather than vote for Kamala because of her gender or race. Until we can figure out a way to subdue the bigots we’re stuck with nominating candidates that are WASPs.
Trump would have lost if musk didn't rig the election for him to win it. Russia also had a hand in that along with voter suppression, votes being burned, votes being dumped. Millions of votes were lost bc of these occurrences. Watch Vigilante Inc - doc that details everything illegal that happened. They had 200 bomb threat calls. Voting boxes were set on fire. Kamala did win and they stole it from her to keep themselves out of jail. Trump and musk are criminals of course they're going to cheat to stay out of prison - they've said it in their own words. I have the video
Unfortunately, I think you're right. I really thought we had it this time with Kamala, but I guess there are more racists and sexists in this country than I thought. Kamala lost ground with young men, black men, and hispanic men.
Alas, too true for comfort😞
And, because she represented a continuation of Biden’s four years! 1) not addressing the undocumented was a huge mistake.
Alas, so TRUE !
Cuomo has baggage.
Linda, yes, he has a disturbing amount of baggage. He was my governor. He should never ever be allowed to run for any public office !
Cuomo is NOT who we need for president. He's kind of a crook.
A liar , a bully, a wannabe tRump ! Those of us who closely followed his reign as governor of New York, know they got him on the sexual what he’s capable of .Alas,My governor ! He should not be trusted to be New York mayor or any other elected position !
He’s not a crook. There were never accusations that he was a crook. He was run out of office because of sexual harassment charges
Alas, he is a crook. With holding money from New York City public schools. At the same time promoting the charter schools. ( Please, make no mistake,there are good charter schools and they’re a bad charter schools. The same goes for the public school system.) Then when he wanted to run again, he declared money for the public school system was found, unearthed ! He didn’t like Mayor Di Blasio. Cuomo went out of his way to antagonize, bully, showing huge disrespect To the mayor, In public no less. Cuomo is so much like Donald Trump. He pretends to be a Democrat !
He said something to the effect that he was going to clean up the “swamp” in Albany.. Yet, when fingers started to point, that he was part of this swamp, he closed down the investigation ! I almost forgot, he was in charge of the investigation !
So many people liked watching and listening to him when on a daily basis, he’d calmed folks down during the pandemic. Yet, his façade began to crumble.That he lied, 🤥 about a number of things in regard to his handling Of the pandemic !
The sexual/Physical Abuse Was probably the easiest way to Finally “Get him !”
Is kind of a crook like being kind of pregnant?
Consider: Andy Beshear. He’s term limited in Kentucky after this term and he clearly knows how to talk and appeal to red voters considering he increased his win margin for re-election. Plus he’s relatively young and I want the era of fifty and sixty year old presidents back lol. Enough of diaper Donnie.
Also, Josh Shapiro is my governor and I selfishly want to keep him in Pennsylvania for a full two terms because he’s damn good at his job.
Harris / Whitmer would be a losing combination. Many Americans may be ready for a woman president -- America = the Electoral College and is not ready. [FYI: Whitmer isn't a woman "of color." Maybe you knew that and put her into the mix as a woman.]
The reason Whitmer is a strong candidate is not by virtue of her skin color or gender, it's because she is a strong leader. I don't know why there is so much confusion about DEI, it's simply choosing the strongest candidate regardless of race or gender. We are seeing women & women of color stepping up as we want to see any leader do, most of us aren't going to choose them based on anything other than competence. We need competent leadership. Full stop.
". . . most of us aren't going to choose them based on anything other than competence." Really? Then how did we end up with Trump? Can't argue with needing competent leadership, but we're not going to get it now if women are the nominees. They may be the most competent, but they're not electable. [I do think Trump was a DEI "hire": Dumb, Egotistical, Incompetent.]
Haha so true. Please see election truth alliance on bluesky, they have heaps of evidence from experts and chief statisticians that the election was rigged by musk and Russia. Lots of verifiable proof, charts, articles and podcasts. Also voter suppression caused millions of votes to be lost - see Vigilante Inc doc that details it all. It's an excellent doc only 60 mins really worth watching
If they have heaps of verifiable evidence that's good enough to take to court, what are they waiting for?
Hah! Good one.
We ended up with the felon for a number of reasons, one was lack of strategy, but I don't think the entire answer is in that. People act from emotion. Aggressive emotions were successfully triggered, but I believe knowing the truth that we are humans that have to work together is stronger. It's a truth more powerful than any strategy. Success will be in owning that knowing, not playing to a demographic, appeasing prejudice. Success isn't in being the most righteous victim or perceived authority, it's in authentic leadership skills. May the best person for the job win.
DEI and woke have been weaponised by trump and GOP. Just more reasons to hate the dems and the libs. Just to keep us all confused overwhelmed and hating each other so no one is actually watching to see what these politicians are doing. So we don't notice the tax breaks they give the rich in the middle of the night. They've been setting this up for years now
If a woman or any minority (or anyone who’s not white and male) can’t win the presidency in 2024, it’s says a lot about our country. Saying someone needs to wait for their time is just wrong
Sure, saying someone needs to wait for their time is wrong. Ex: Biden should have been the candidate in 2016, but someone decided it was Hillary's turn. But there's a difference between being a good candidate and being an electable one. If the Blues want to get back into a position where they have some sway, they're going to have to put up ELECTABLE candidates and work from there. Taking the high road won't necessarily get you where you want to go -- or need to be.
Bernie sanders should have been President 2016
Yes. You have hit the nail on the head. I feel American Politics has reversed 70 years. it is not about being a good candidate it is now about being electable. Getting traction- getting unity we have slid down the slippery slope reaching this point in time.
That's always the answer! When are we going to learn that the time is ALWAYS right to elevate women of color and people other than white men. We have had enough of the incremental change and trying not to shock the sensibilities of the status quo! Basta!
Too bad they wouldn't win in this particular atmosphere.
That's a big chance.
Are we both talking about Cuomo, fighting in the Israeli army ? No, not true. He will bow to whoever has the most money, the most power and if it looks good, he wants it so he can be reelected. He is all about himself ! We need to be very careful not to elect someone like Cuomo. Mayor of New York be it any other elected position. !
I doubt Pete Buttigieg would be interested in being the next mayor of NYC. Our loss. 🙂🙃😉
Agreed .👍🏽
Don’t forget JB Pritzker, Governor of Illinois who is fighting the Good Fight right next to him!!!
And Illinois is not alone. This story is proof positive that winning is possible. We are not going down 'cause we're not giving up! 🏆
Hell NO!!
He's Jewish also.
Who the f*** cares. You sound pretty bigoted yourself.
I have voted since 1963 and I look for supported issues and any voting record on legislation, fact check and see if they have anything shady in their background. I DO NOT check their ethnic connections.
God's chosen people!
Trump’s appeal to Jews helped him win the election!
great choice
We have a leader of the free world and his name is Vlodamir Zelensky.
Yes, agree. He was spectacular against the orange ogre. Dump is too stupid to recognize he's not the baddest dude in the jungle of survival of the fittest!
He will never leave his homeland.
SLAVA UKRAINI!!!!!!!!
A real man who doesn't bow down to weak traitors!
Such a great man and a hero for Ukraine and democracy
One has to be BORN in the USA to run for president.
Hot Dang! We cookin' with gas now, Ya'll. Congrats to everyone fighting against this poisonous regime of evil. Congratulations!!!
Here's hoping this inspires Maine and their fearsome Lady governor. She stood up to Trump and she's unafraid. When she said, "See you in court!" That was GOLDEN!
Yes! I wish I'd actually been in the room when she did that! Not suffering ANY fools!
Yayyy!!! That’s my governor!!!
Mine too! 🫶
So exciting!
you're good with someone who is purposely dismantling democracy, financially decimating the poor, the disabled, seniors? Come on, when we are trying to find someone who has the balls to take on Trump are we really going to quibble of one nit?
Be sure, never to elect Cuomo in any capacity ! He’s D Trump, wearing make believe democratic clothing/skin!
Exactly, ty!
I know of many Jewish people who do not support Israel’s genocide of Palestinian, nor do they support Netanyahu.
Who are we talking about, who fought in the Israeli army ?
K, thanks ! So we’ll leave Shapiro as a Governor nothing more .
He volunteered on an Israeli military base back when he was a kid. Not sure how much he was involved. He doesn’t like Netanyahu.
Byrdie, hugely important that he doesn’t like Netanyahu !!! War criminal that he is !!! 🤨😠😡Those poor, poor civilians/people
I’ve heard that when people from other countries volunteer in the Israeli Army, they do not see battle.
You say he was a kid. Hoping that he grew up.
I agree. I feel horrified for Jews and Palestinians alike. The horror these people have all faced over there.
Byrdie. I agree with you. Traumas that will be with them forever. Netanyahu is a Donald Trump yet in my humble opinion worse. Is that possible?
Democratic Governors could lead the call to dismantle those who occupy the oval office...followed by dems on Congress......can there be an "off ramp" for republicans?
You're too kind. The Rethuglicans need to walk the plank!
they can't, no BACKBONES!
... hahahaaa but a few had Bone spurs - and even though still playing basketball- was EXEMPT from the military draft during war... out Hero
Oh, somebody somewhere will find one the instant a roof over their head and no food on the table hits home. It’s called FAFO.
Far too many support a developer wanting to level Gaza and build a resort area w/ no place for Palestinians….
I*C*U Funny that's what Mango Mussolini's boss is hoping to commit in Ukraine. Unfortunately, allowing he and his oligarchs to bleed his country dry makes for a shitty economy and a pathetic army. Maybe we need to take a closer look at what Oligarchy actually delivers to a country.
The people of Russia are held hostage. They must have blind loyalty to Putin, they must always vote for him to give the appearance but there's consequences and those that rebel are murdered. There's no free press, they think Putin started the war to stop the Nazis in Ukraine of course not true. Zelenskys uncles all died fighting the Nazis. No gay or trans no freedom at all. They're isolated and confined. That's how trump wants the USA he admires putin
Pretty low bar to be morally, ethically AND intellectually superior to trump!
Look up the meaning of fascism. There's no such thing as "Israel fascism." Kind of hateful there...........
Feeling harassed? 😂 Well, there’s an App for that. LOL
THANKSGov.JoshShapiro! ImpeachJD_ TraitorTrump! DeportElonMusk! We will not go back! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇲💪🏽👍🏼AmeriCa!
Gotta love Shapiro! Keep after this horrible president.
And trump wants to turn their land into a resort! Shapiro wins that argument.
that would be trump. He's said he will deport all 2+ million gazans and build a resort on their land.
Shapiro has no plans to "monetize" Gaza, Shapiro has never said he supports murdering Palestinians.
What he has said---when he was a 21-year-old student, is that Palestine isn't capable of establishing a self-governed state, that they seem more interested in waging war. His current stance is "As the governor has made clear for years, he supports a two-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians can live together peacefully. And he believes it is critical for leaders on both sides of this conflict to take meaningful, necessary steps towards a lasting peace."
I think what Netanyahu has done is horrendous, i'm not defending that but the Jewish people have a right to defend themselves. Palestinians have been murdering Jews for decades. They've publicly stated their goal is to eradicate Israel and the Jews.
if you've got an issue with the plans for Gaza, look to trump. He'd throw them into the sea in order to get is resort built.
Everything is transactional with orange mango Mussolini.
and we know why they want eradicate Jewd and Israel.
Don't you think it might be a better idea to work on saving America - and THEN try to sort out Israel/Gaza?
agreed, that's what i'm trying to point out. Right now we don't have the luxury of sorting out Gaza, other than trying to stop trump from turning the place into a resort for rich aholes.
I know that - it's not a secret. You think no one else cares what is happening out there? But - what are you going to do RIGHT NOW? Trump has made it clear he thinks the whole area should be cleared and given to Israel. Do you think he gives two flying fucks for what happens to the Palestinians? No, neither do I. At least under Biden there was SOME hope of negotiation. So, I repeat - to achieve ANYTHING like peace in the Middle East, the first thing, the most important thing, is to GET RID OF TRUMP!
So happy to see YOU have the right Idea-- it took T rump a little less than 4 years to re-invent himself-- waltz in smothering Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantas- even as a convict- to use the template of 2025 (Yeah that knew about it..)! He had such a defined (yeah - known..) Plan to sell the forlorn Biden bumblers- BUT HE HAD a plan.. so important- Get a Plan
"Biden bumblers?" As opposed to the clueless robber barons, bench warmers, and outright half wit criminal co-conspirators that make up this misadministration?
I don't disagree with you on Gaza, Trump would build his oligarch Vegas by the Sea over the bodies of Palestinian children. But sorry, not sorry, I can't agree with the antisemitism. Religious war has been a blite on humanity from the beginning of time. Faith is supposed to make an individual a better human, not a convenient excuse to kill someone who does not share your beliefs.
Give it a rest. Shapiro is not a supporter of genocide.
No, he does not. Again, that's Hamas and organizations/political parties/etc. that do that. If they stop, all of it will stop.
He does no such thing. What about the genocide that Muslims do in the Middle East and elsewhere? Don't mean to soundalike a little kid, but THEY are the ones who start these things, not the Israelis. The people of Israel are only protecting their freedoms/country. They are never the ones "on the attack."
As the other poster suggested, please please read The Hundred Years War. It is incredibly informative and highlights that this started much earlier than most of us believe.
Where did you hear that about Shapiro?
He might have stood up to The Convict, but the state was stolen by the Ketamine ADDICT, and his servers
Gov. Shapiro ROCKS! As does my Govonor Andy Beshear of Kentucky!
I'd better to support a free/democratic country rather than countries who stifle freedoms--like Iraq, Iran, etc.
Josh Shapiro is my awesome Governor! Thank you for having him on here. He needs to stay supported for Pennsylvania. He takes care of everyone here. He has our back.
Thank you Governor and Ben. 🥰💙💙💙💙💙
Great job Governor Josh Shapiro! Can you get Fetterman and McCormick on board? They are MIA!
Exactly! Fetterman especially‼️
McCormick is useless. I write to Fetterman and McCormick almost every day. Fetterman at least tailors his responses to the topic I wrote about. McCormick just sends a form letter and he commits to nothing but backing Trumps nominees and also Elon Musk‘s activities.
Send them this podcast and tell them to learn how it's done. You pay them - they work for you and your best interests not trump
I write to them both every other day. Keep writing. They’ll block both our emails. 😆
So glad to have him as my Governor! Worse thing the voters of PA did was elect McCormick over Casey!
And Trump…
My governor J B Pritzger is already doing just that. I love him for it.
"Stop Elon Musk from killing Social Security!
Elon Musk calls Social Security "the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time". Musk made it clear that he's going after Social Security, in a new interview with Joe Rogan, calling it a "Ponzi scheme", and complaining that Americans are...LIVING TOO LONG. For his part, Rogan did not push back one iota on the absurd and incredibly false smears of one of our nation's most important benefits programs. "If there ever were a more perfect encapsulation of MAGA it's this: a dumbass explaining something he doesn't understand to a bigger dumbass too dumb to challenge him, who after a classic dumbass beat simply answers 'AAAAOOH'", wrote furious correspondent Francesca Fiorentini on Twitter. Elon made it clear that he is incapable of comprehending how Social Security works, complaining over and over about how it doesn't bring in enough revenue — because it's not supposed to, it's not a profit-generating venture, it's a program created to ensure the American public can retire and live with some semblance of dignity — which Elon clearly feels is a luxury that only the ultrawealthy deserve to enjoy."
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-calls-social-security-212613265.html?link_id=3&can_id=56bdad496d5a1d659d2f23c00c81d0e3&source=email-trump-insults-zelenskyy-to-his-face-in-vile-tantrum&email_referrer=email_2638772&email_subject=elon-launches-terrifying-attack-on-social-security
That interview was a cross between enraging and embarrassing. Watching Musk stutter and stumble while he tried to "explain" the problems with Social Security was cringe-worthy. A ten year old could have done it better. He obviously has no idea what the problem is (if any) and certainly offered no "solutions" - other than "Close it down!" The comments he had to offer what obvious just repeats of things he had read and barely understood on Twitter.
Absolutely so true. Musk and trump are pathological liars. Musk calls Americans parasites!! But he's the one living off our govt contracts. He's the one stripping all our systems to steal our money. All this destruction and suffering bc he doesn't want to pay tax. All billionaires esp this regime are the parasites of the working people who pay tax

That was a great podcast thanks for sharing 💜
Shout out to Shapiro. Going recreational marijuana in PA to fund pennie which is the state healthcare market place as well as using the tax revenue to bolster out snap and WIC programs that feed our children.
Gov. Shapiro is always so clear and well-spoken. He sends a simple, what's-really-important message as well as how to govern in this segment. Thanks for having him on!
This is a great governor. Alas, in Texas, we have crooked leaders, including an indicted Attorney General.
Josh is smart and a truly decent good human being! He will be a great president!
Love Govenor Shapiro.
Yep... Gov. Josh Shapiro basicalky tells it like it is. Common sense is what needed. Trump and his cronies just don't get it! So, true!!!
🎉 Congratulations 👏 Governor and Pennsylvania for filing and winning your lawsuit against the COUP 🎉!
Thanks for the coverage! I appreciate what you do! Keep up the good work.
Too bad we don’t have a President like Governor Shapiro, who GENUINELY cares about people and Democracy 👍
Well done guys! I'm so happy to have such strength in the right places~
It's the trump/Vance administration. Make certain to tie Vance to this mess, especially if he runs for office.
That couch Potato Hillbilly from Ohio? The wonder of re-invention? Musk-rat's FIRST project? yes-- I do believe you have something here!
When are some of these self-proclaimed macho men, in the GOP and MAGA, going to stand up to Trump, FOR OUR COUNTRY, DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTION, RULE OF LAW?! So far they have proven to be lying spineless traitors, who continue to kiss Trump's ass for a buck, and Iawless, unlimited power! How do they even look their children, families, and constituents in the eye, while betraying them all every day. All will be recorded in history, as a complete corrupt disgrace, traitors to the United States of America, who chose to turn their backs on the USA, betray us, and team with communist, murderous Russia, and has stomped all over our Constitution and laws.
TRUMP + GOP + MAGA = TRAITORS

That's my Govenor -PA rocks!!!!💙
Maybe the governors should begin the articles of impeachment and hand them to the house?
Gov. Josh Shapiro is an amazing leader. I think he's extremely intelligent and works for the people. So glad he's on our side!
Can you get NY governor to take action?? She isn't impressing anyone right now. And gop is going to try to replace her. We can't have a gop in NY! Just can't.
So proud that I am a Pennsylvania Democrat. he is a champion of the people here in Pa.
He is loved by Dems and many Republicans as well. He has a reputation for trying to reach across the aisle, but he is also a fierce defender of our state when it is needed. He is destined for higher office. He has my heart and my vote.
Bravo to Governor Shapiro for fighting for the people of Pennsylvania whether they voted for him or not.
I doubt any MAGAt governors would do this.
They would never question Trump or push back on a decision that hurts their state.
Sometime, in the near future, a red state will experience a horrific natural disaster.
When the governor asks for federal aid, they will be told: "No. Take care of it yourself."
Do you think a MAGAT governor would sue Trump to help the people of their state?
I predict they will not.
Governor Shapiro, your commitment to the people of Pennsylvania is commendable as you have literally brought them together in spite of their political/ideological views. We need to learn more from you…to help our country. Thank you 🙏 Mahalo to MTN for having Governor Shapiro on this network…what a privilege and honor to be a Medias Mighty!🙏
listening to this was very calming
So glad that Governor Shapiro stood up to these Dictators!!!!!
Too bad they can’t ged RID of this convicted criminal!!!!
But happy that they are standing up for the people👍🖐️
I didn’t vote for the fascist and I have read up on Josh. So, you don’t have evidence is basically what you’re saying 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe look up how his views have changed since he was 20 yro. People grow and change as they experience more of the world. Not everyone is stuck inside a box.
This is his current viewpoint:
“I have said for years, years before October 7, that I favor a two-state solution — Israelis and Palestinians living peacefully side-by-side, being able to determine their own futures and their own destiny,” he added.
Earlier this year Shapiro called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “one of the worst leaders of all time and has steered Israel in a wrong direction.”
Also, he was a volunteer in the IDF and never saw combat.
I am pro USA but I reject everything this administration stands for. Does that make me a horrible person too? People are the sum of all their parts and you aren’t ever going to find the person that mirrors every single belief you have. His leadership for PA and the people that live there is without question the right things to be doing. He himself isn’t and wasn’t involved in the negotiations with Israel.
I’m sorry you think everyone is a one trick pony. I haven’t read anything that indicates his support for genocide. Maybe you can post evidence supporting your claim?
I salute Gov. Shapiro - thanks for your leadership and efforts to push back on and defeat the many insane Trump initiatives that will have a devastating negative impact on millions of people, including many who got us into this mess by supporting Trump in the first place.
CALIFORNIA, ILLINOIS, MICHIGAN, MAINE, PENNSYLVANIA!!!! Which state will join us next?
C'mon everybody, let's get up and fight. If you're pissed off because you got cut off, stand up!! If you're embarrassed by Trump's behavior on the world stage,aligning with putin, stand up!!! If you want to join Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, The U.K., Italy and most of all UKRAINE, in pushing back against a lying, narcissistic, convicted felon, STAND UP!!! LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD!
WE DO NOT WANT A COWARDLY DICTATOR BANKRUPTING THIS COUNTRY MORALLY, SPIRITUALLY, AND FINANCIALLY.
WE.
THE.
PEOPLE.
Mid-terms are coming-- I feel like Ichabod Crane- A race to the bridge- being chased by the Headless orange Trumpkin Will we make it??
He is accountable for everything he does, but, he refuses to listen.
Trump is clueless to the workings of them real world. He's been living in his own world too long....IMPEACH HIM NOW
I agree- but via our Constitution It is generated in the House by a Majority. I doubt if there is anywhere or anyone on the Reb-publican side to be helpful and muster enough votes to pull this off.
-- From either side House or Senate--
"Musk is a walking posterboy for overturning a major Supreme Court decision. If you’ve watched or attended a town hall meeting recently, you’ve seen unfiltered outrage over Musk and DOGE. Cutting costs to improve government efficiencies is one thing, wholesale elimination of systems that took 250 years to build is another.
As Musk takes a chainsaw to the federal government, Trump plays golf, posts absurdist videos, and rage tweets from the toilet at 3 a.m. Meanwhile, GOP Congressmen keep quiet, their lips sealed by Musk’s credible threats to primary anyone who speaks out.
After effectively having been silenced under Citizens United, the ruling that teed up Trump’s treasonous campaign of destruction, citizens’ voices are rising to fill the void." (Raw Story)......

...Our Republic)) but a point well taken
Democrats need to find our next candidate for President and start campaigning now. Find someone the people who feel betrayed by Trump, can get behind and trust. I don't know who this is, but I do know that if we had a very qualified, personable, down-to-earth person, we can turn this around.
Really surprised Trump didn’t reward Pennsylvania for helping him win. Although they didn’t really, since Musk messed with the elections.
MAGA’s “pro-veteran” lie is fully exposed. Trump’s budget hacks are gutting federal jobs where veterans make up a massive percentage, all while he defunds their healthcare and coddles dictators who literally put bounties on American soldiers. It’s never been about "America First"—it’s always been about Trump first, billionaires second, and the suckers who voted for him dead last.
Thank you, Gov. Shapiro! - from a Western PA resident
Aren't all of these lawsuits costing the country MORE than if they'd just respected the constitution and paid out the appropriated contracts??
If the federal government isn't going to do right by us, why on earth should we continue to pay federal taxes?
if you do not pay the tax-- You go to jail-- They Don't
Re. the betrayal of veterans,
Are veterans allowed to stand up and protest, or does the oath they took preclude it?
Because if they are, I sure would like to see some of them spreading the word country wide to their comrades, their families and their supporters. Their tactical training would come in very useful in organising peaceful resistance.
I do. I am sure there are Many of us believing in our Republic and still remember what we stand for. Land of the Free- Because of the Brave- many of us are home now.
You sound like a good candidate for President
That’s my gov! Thanks, Josh!
I hope that Josh Shapiro runs for Pres. in ‘28. He would be awesome & very effective!
👍💪🏿 👍

Thank you Governor Shapiro. Good to know we just don’t lay down and take it.
We love Josh, here in PA, he is a voice for all Americans! ❤️
Can you even imagine what a wonderful country we would have if all our politicians were as reasonable , intelligent, knowledgeable, caring, and courageous as Governor Josh Shapiro. You give me hope! You remind me of what leadership should look like. I am sooooooooooooooo grateful for you!

"Ruby red" sounds too nice. How about a new term: "Blood red".
We keep hearing that elections have consequences and are given glimmers of hope for change in congress to re- establish some guardrails in two years, but.... nobody's talking about the work that's being done now to undermine the integrity of the next election cycle. Who's working to counter that??
He's right that we need to talk more about how less secure this country is now that Trump is all in on Putin. Trump will do whatever Putin wants if it means he can have more money and power. And putting highly unqualified people in charge of our national security is extremely dangerous. ISIS is not gone. They still hate us and are just waiting for the right time to attack again. I certainly hope Elon isn't firing too many people from the defense department.

I used to live in PA and voted for Governor Shapiro. He is smart, level-headed and does so much for the residents of the Commonwealth. He needs to be POTUS!
I am not surprised That Guy is attacking veterans directly or through the government support services they deserve and are owed. He famously denigrated them as "suckers and losers." This is the dollop of whipped shit on top of that shit sundae.
Trump doesn't care about deals long as he gets what he wants he doesn't care he wants to be a king and tell everybody what to do when to do it and if he makes a promise he'll break it he doesn't care
Trump doesn't care about the American people
I'm glad for the opportunity to get to know leadership we can get behind!
"SAY NO TO CRYPTO. Currently, cryptocurrencies really serve no useful purpose. Basically, they’re only good for buying other crypto assets, laundering money, and extorting and scamming people. As economist Paul Krugman has said, their market value rests on nothing but “technobabble and libertarian derp.”
And, the deeper crypto infiltrates Wall Street, the possibility that it could destabilize the entire financial system grows. For some in the crypto world, that’s the goal.
It’s an investment strategy right up Trump’s alley – big bucks, combined with limitless opportunity for exploitation and grift, and outcomes obscured by layers of chaos. Trump once denounced crypto, but as the crypto industry poured tens of millions of dollars into his 2024 campaign, he saw an opportunity to make a pile of money.
Many of the super-rich and powerful – Trump’s pals, the oligarchy – support cryptocurrencies. Not only can they make a fortune, but crypto advances their long-term aim of shifting financial controls out of a democratically elected system of government and into their own hands.
Now, as many as ten states are expected to introduce legislation, backed by the crypto lobby, to invest public pension funds into bitcoin. There may be nothing new about banks making huge gambles with investors’ money, but states jumping into the crypto fray with public pension funds would inject a whole new level of risk into retirement, where there is little tolerance for volatility.
Retirement plans require the most conservative and predictable of investment strategies. Send a message calling on your governor to veto any legislation that invests crypto in public pension now!
SIGN & SEND
In September, the Trump family started World Liberty Financial, marketed as a platform to facilitate borrowing and lending in digital currencies. Trump receives a cut of the sales of WLFI, the cryptocurrency associated with the platform. And now that he’s taken office, Trump plans to make billions off his presidency by implementing policies that favor crypto.
He is putting crypto-friendly people into place at key federal agencies, naming digital currency enthusiast David Sacks to be his “crypto-AI czar,” and choosing crypto-booster Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission. Within days, the SEC relaxed its position so banks will no longer have to account for crypto assets held on behalf of customers.
Trump issued a new Executive Order committed to “protecting and promoting” the crypto industry, giving himself authority to establish a national cryptocurrency stockpile, prohibiting a “central bank digital currency” overseen by the government, and promising crypto companies they will have “fair and open access to banking services” for crypto.
In effect, Trump is writing the rules for a business venture from which he and his family are personally profiting. It could win them hundreds of billions of dollars.
Now, reporting on the industry by CoinDesk reveals that 16 states are already considering bills that would put public money into crypto. That follows reporting by Cryptonews that the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, the 9th largest pension fund in America, has already invested $162 million in bitcoin.
The crypto industry's lobbying power is increasing too, as Bitcoin miners expand their operations and venture capitalists invest more and more.
We must prevent it from getting worse and becoming even more dangerous to the nation’s economy and the public pension funds that teachers, firefighters, and others depend on for their retirement security. Call on your governor to veto any legislation that invests taxpayer money in crypto currencies now."
Thank you for taking action today.

I'm so surprised we can't remove the whole bunch if them for taking our country down. No one In the Republican party is standing up to this clown and saying what you are doing is wrong. This was in Nixons time there.would been no doubt about it they would impeach him..Sadly Nixon wasn't as bad as this guy. I donr care if Republican voters laugh and sneer no Republican or Democrat President ever did this to it's people. You can sleep on it and live to regret the outcome or get up and fight. His voters had no problem on Jan 6th with their invasion why can't we fight not like them but take to the streets of the capital
No, no, not Cuomo. Let him run NYC—he’ll probably be good at that. But he’s basically a thug, and whatever office he holds, he makes sure there’s a shield between him and the people. He never talks to anyone—you have to talk to his aides. That way he can say, “Oh, I never heard that.”
I hear from a neighbor who is a government employee that a goal of 2025ers is to round up info on democrats to ultimately freeze assets. Sounds far fetched but so did having a “guy” come into government buildings with teenagers and randomly close government agencies.
Thank you Gov Shapiro for the work you are doing!!!!!
This was a fantastic interview with Gov. Josh Shapiro. He's so smart and his leadership skills are absolutely stellar.
Shapiro should run for President. Sharp, down to earth, respectful.
Thank God for Shapiro...he cares about this state and he fights for all of us!!
My Governor! And share this: march in DC on March 14: https://nowmarch.org/
That's my governor!!! Thank you!
Governor Shapiro almost makes me wanna move to PA!! And here I was a bit earlier thinking VT, with its WONDERFUL "welcome" to the vance family this weekend would be great too..... It's so inspirational to learn how many others are standing up / against the current "administration". GREAT POST, Ben..
We are thinking of moving to Pennsylvania. We've narrowed it down to a few states, but PA is at the top of the list. Fracking is my only concern. Also there are a lot of Republicans living there, but it's much better than Louisiana!
Nice to hear what amounts to essentially a campaign spot for Shapiro, unfortunately if an intelligent & articulate woman of color can't get elected, the equally unfortunate reality is that it is highly unlikely that either an intelligent & articulate Jewish man or an intelligent & articulate gay man can either. I would hate to see that put to the test & have us lose again, but this is an unpleasant reality of the engrained hatreds of a large swath of the electorate we are forced to face.
Asshole Asymmetry is the exhausting reality that it takes infinitely more effort to refute, disprove, or counteract the nonsense, vitriol, and bad-faith arguments of a determined jerk than it does for them to spread their garbage in the first place. This isn’t just an internet problem—it’s a societal cancer.
Take politics: a single Trump lie—let’s say, about election fraud—takes five seconds to tweet but weeks of lawsuits, investigative journalism, and endless fact-checking to debunk. And by the time that work is done? The lie has metastasized, reinforced by an army of gleeful enablers who thrive on chaos. Meanwhile, the people fighting for truth and justice are buried under an avalanche of disinformation, forced to play an exhausting game of whack-a-mole with conspiracy theories.
It happens in everyday life, too. At work, one toxic manager can ruin an entire department. In activism, one troll can derail a productive discussion with a single bad-faith question. In social movements, the opposition just needs to sow doubt—not prove a damn thing—to stall progress.
This asymmetry benefits those in power, because it wears out the people pushing for fairness, equality, and truth. The solution? Stop playing by their rules. Instead of endlessly debating bad actors, expose them. Instead of getting dragged into their nonsense, redirect the conversation. And most of all, organize harder than they disrupt. Assholes rely on exhaustion—so the only way to win is to refuse to get tired.
I've heard a very valid suggestion that the democratic party should be holding a weekly (daily?) presser to "flood the zone" to counteract the buckshot BS of the drumpfists. Sounds like a fine idea, if only the Democrats would stop pissing all over each other & direct their aim at drumpf's bad comb-over. Who'd be the ideal mouthpiece? Sheesh, you tell me.
They ought to be making more noise, at least to ler the rest of us know they're even paying attention. We need more definitive boldness on the Left's part, instead of just hand wringing and finger pointing at each other. The GOP has been playing the long game for 50 years and the Left can't agree that the sky is blue.
I have done quite a bit of writing about it, if you get a chance to look at my last 2 essays, you might find some inspiration.
I especially like the Long Game.. Democrats stopped having a center theme and DIRECTION with the New Deal, until Obama came in with the Obama Care. There must be a developed plan (can't use 2025)- but something that spells out intent and direction-- a link phrase - "The Better Deal" not The Brady Bunch= MAGA MAGA MAGA- these things seem to be the like brain worms creating an Identifiable cohesion.
A plan- A Phrase- A vote-
I have posted 2 recent articles about building Project 2026 - most of it is my more radical-leaning ideas, but I welcome all readers to provide new ideas and feedback. We need a plan and a means of aligning people and ideas and it should be built in transparency
YES. Stop playing by rigged rules, take control of the narrative rather than try to make theirs work. Go harder in what does work. We know how theirs does. It will never work for anyone but them.
I don't think we can win trying to outgame hatreds though, there's no end to ignorance, it's always going to be something. I think we need to focus on policy more than optics. We really can't do anything about people that won't see their own best interest, there is no fixing stupid. There is no absolute right thing, but the best shot is in doing what is most right. What is right doesn't have anything to do with race, gender, or religious orientation, so that isn't where the focus needs to be, but with who best works for citizens regardless of those things.
Brava. But Kamala still lost, & Pete can't be beat on politics, & Josh is an effective speaker & legislator, but in the clouded minds if too many voters it still came down to Kamala as an N-word, as will Pete be no more than the F-word, or Josh the K-word (or pejorative J-word, since it's all in the tone, ain't it?)
That's the lie, that everything is in presentation & tone. But integrity is a real thing. Life isn't a reality TV script. Some people aren't going to face that in their lifetimes but it's a reality we all know that goes beyond the current drama playing out. It's in our bones & DNA, we have survived not by conquering our environment & nature but working with it.
I don't believe we can out hate people and be effective, especially when we're in an environment where dehumanizing is SOP from one side. We have to lead with integrity and care, this is why I want to focus on a strategy that continues to move forward. I have quite a bit of writing including the beginnings of what could be a framework for a Progressive Project 2026... The Heritage Foundation has been working on iterations of Project 2025 for FIFTY YEARS. We must have a response or we will always fail, the left has ZERO messaging, no sustained central idea to align people behind. I would welcome any new ideas if you have a few minutes to read.
You say he got every dollar back but isn’t it only that the court ordered the federal government to give it all back? The DODO* grifter-in-chief never pays his bills. If a penny ever flows back to PA, that will be a huge victory indeed.
*Acronym for “Dictator On Day One.”
All other Governors need to learn from Josh Shapiro instead of being cowards and running out of town halls and sucking up to this trump regime. Fight for the people. WE PAY YOU!! You work for US! Do what we are paying you to do - represent us or leave!
We need to allow Josh Shapiro lead the talks in front of Trump's administration!! He is so no nonsense --common sense!! I think his 2 main points to all 1) veterans that fought for our freedom deserve more 2) our national security is at risk now allowing Russia and China rule the world now, not us!!
Hey Ben, I'm so glad I subscribed to the Meidas Touch! I have a question:
I'm not techie, I'm 73, but if this government shut you down somehow or my Google stopped working, or the Internet was cut off, how would you go on and where would I find you?
Well done, Gov. Shapiro. You can never let a bully push you around! A deal is a deal!
Why can't anyone face up to and do what your laws require, and try the man for Treason. He is breaking every law put in front of him...his behaviour and speech is all treasonous.
Dems need to primary Shapiro and newsome assuming they’re willing. This country hasn’t proven it deserves Crockett and I’m not willing to sacrifice her ntm this country will not elect a woman especially not a black one. I love buttegeig but the Christian nationalists won’t vote for a gay man. Putting either of them on a ballot WOULD BE BEGGING to lose again at the worst time in modern history.
I actually think a winning ticket would be Kinzinger with a Democrat as vice president. It might be the only time in my life I would vote for a republican.
Thanks for your dedication to democracy
I am thinking of being a paid subscriber, but: there’s a limit to how many paid subscriptions I can afford. Can’t there be some way to subscribe to a group of, say, 10 or 12, and get some kind of discount? It’s getting expensive.
It's only a matter of time before most Republican voters become disillusioned, but the rest of we can't wait for them to become disillusioned as time is of the essence.
Bravo! We know she should have picked you for VP. She probably would have won?
I wonder who really made the choice for VP. Had Shapiro been the VP pick, I think there's a very good chance Harris would have won. Walz brought nothing to the ticket, except for being a white man.
Shapiro is the one the people wanted
Agreed
Josh Shapiro---a real leader. pbd
That's my Governor!! Thank God for him!
Thank you Governor! Keep pushing back!
Ben, you need to contact Kirk Bangstad at this address:<info@minocquabrewingcompany.com>
Read his March2 post to followers. He's come up with some ideas the MeidasMighty might want to use. I tried to find a more private way to contact you but had no luck.
Love Josh Shapiro. But how do we prepare ourselves for the moment when, through his decimation of systems that keep us safe, we are successfully attacked and the orange menace declares martial law?
Just a thought… our next president?
Has a Democratic group been created that would compete against say the Heritage Foundation and all the other supporters of project 2025?
I could totally get on board with supporting a group that is actively writing a plan to defeat and alter the mess that we currently have. I would be more inclined to donate to a cohesive movement with a work in progress than individuals. A strong plan and strong laws need to start being written for future implementation now. Where are the legal people and where are the think tanks?
Love Josh!!!!!
Once again, though, Pennsylvania voted for tramp. And now they are concerned about their needs. Imagine that.
Just saw an interview with a forensic economist, can’t remember his name, err, that said that there was a lot of tampering with the votes many different ways in PA. Makes sense to me.
The government knows the harm of their cuts, they just don’t care. It’s all up to you and representatives like you.
Yes, we need to hear more about the national security and wins.
Great interview. Love our governor.

I’m a life long PA resident, absolutely support Gov Josh Shapiro! Thank you Gov Shapiro for continuing to fight for us. Now. Please do what you can to clear out this current administration!
I’m happy that Josh Shapiro is standing up for his constituents. The elected republican governors are doing their thing and not what the people want
Great interview with Governor Shapiro… We need to see more of him, definitely let’s do more interviews with Governor Shapiro!💙
Why do I feel like Lot from the Old Testament? Looking and not finding, one righteous man in all of Sodom and Gomorrah.
I am tired of having to choose from the lesser of two evils for leaders of this nation. Really! Kamala Harris was as close to righteous as we have come since Jimmy Carter. It appears, in order to rise to a level in leadership in American Politics, where to be considered a possible candidate for President, you will have had to compromised any sense of moral standards you may have had when first elected.
So maybe Politics is the problem. What if we eliminated politics from our elections? It can be done. Give it some thought. Voting without party politics.....?
What will replace citizen identification now that social security numbers have been compromised?
Muskolini is uploading U.S. private information to Open AI. India identity theft party!

Great man of character!
Government Shapiro is a true civil servant caring and watching out for Pennsylvania citizens! Common sense and rule of law!
💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you Governor Shapiro for doing the right thing. I wish the democrats in New York would be better at voicing their displeasure with Trump and Musk. I wish all governors from all states would sue Trump. There has to be a clear voice saying no to Trump and Musk.
I couldn't tell from listening to this. Did the Governor prevail in court? Or was the action of filing suit enough to get the money freed for his state of PA? Follow up question, why aren't all- or at least the blue state- governors doing this?

Pennsylvania here we are proud of our Governer. Josh Shapiro as his saying getting shit done. he does not mince words at all. Speculation of him running for president in 2028. don't get me wrong would love to see him run. Now Mastriano wants to run for governor again in our great commonwealth. I hope Shapiro is running for re-election in Pennsylvania. Thanks, Ben, for the interview with our great Governer
Brilliant information. Nice and clear Keep going. The country gets darker every day but ignorance and greed will not win. Revolution.

Amen, Governor
That's the kind of guy that I can get behind. It doesn't matter if he is Jewish. So fucking what? He is speaking put, on a national platform. We can build out from there.
I encourage everyone to send this Meidas Touch Network podcast to your Governors. Especially if you feel like your Governor is not listening to you or working to protect your best interests. They can all learn from Josh Shapiro. He was denied his states funding and he took them to court and WON - this is how it's done people. They might need to be reminded of who they work for and who actually pays them. NO more lies. NO more excuses! They work for us and must put our best interests first. Work for us or get out!!
Would love to see you run in 2028!!! Thank you for standing up for all of us
We are blessed here in PA to have a Governor for our common good. Thanks sir for forcing Trump to honor a contract! (New territory for the president)

The President isn't just parroting Russian talking points, he's also handing the Chinese great talking points for their global messaging campaign to undermine the postwar international security order, which, make no mistake about it, greatly benefited the United States.

Real men fight for their constituents and others. Lapdogs sit behind their desk while lying and hiding from their constituents. Red States are showing they and the clown makeup con man doesn't give a rats ass about them. We tried warning the magats but, now they're begging Democrats to be their savior.
After this misbegotten administration guts our nation, leaves it desolated, what is the next step of the Project 2025 plan? There must be a next step; otherwise, why would multibillionaires want us made extinct? This still makes no logical sense. Is the property then to be sold to regimes for pennies on the dollar so they can enslave anyone still above ground and turn our vast land mass into a humongous sweat shop?

Well spoken and informed action taker.
How about Mayor Pete or Newsom?
A man named Grant Grissom ran a full page well written ad in the NYTimesday, today, Sunday , asking Trump to resign. See if u can find it and read it. Trumptimetoresign@gmail.com
Who would have thought ? He hits Tump on a lot of things that are so right on!!! Hope to see it reprinted lots of places .
Excellent!
I think he would make a great president.
I love Gov Shapiro! Thank you and keep fighting!
Hey , I'm a Gay man with Aspergers that's worried about the future of everything.
It's nice to see Governor Josh Shapiro. He's always been a fresh breath there.
i love governor shapiro! he fights for pennsylvanians and we appreciate him!
What happened to NY state that had $80 million retrieved back?!!
Harris(?) could have picked Shapiro for VP. Had she done so, even with all the other mistakes made, good chance she would have won the election. Can't go back and prove it, but Shapiro would have brought much more to the ticket than Walz. [And if Walz ends up being the Dem nominee for President in 2028, he'll lose.]
I’m not a fan of Governor Shapiro. I voted for him but his stand against student protests has made me a non voter for him. I will not be conned into supporting someone who stood up to Trump but silenced student protesters. He’s jockeying for 2028 POTUS. I will not be voting for him.
Sounds like a legit concern. The kind of specific things I would want to know, actions people are entitled to an answer for.

are you claiming he has committed atrocities?
You're conflating support of Israel to allegiance to Israel - not the same at all.
