Just cancelled a vacation to Florida. I am from the UK
We no longer vacation in Florida either. We avoid Texas as well.
Yes, all of our family and friends canceled their trip. No visits for the next 4 years :-(
Good for you, Susan! I live in Texas and I recommend that no one visit here.
I live in Texas and I also recommend no one visit here. It's MAGA central here! I hate it. I feel like a little blue dot in a sea of red. ✌️🏼💙
I’m a tiny blue dot in Fort Worth. So disgusting!!
Sad so many choose to ignore reality!
Dangerous too.
It is. I live in a suburb of Houston and I rarely venture into town. Everyone here carries guns and drives Tesla trash can trucks. If you want to call it a truck. Smh! It looks like it came right out of Minecraft.
I live in a ruby red area about 30 miles north of San Antonio. Most of the cities in Texas are blue, but the rest of the state is red. All of us blue dots in Texas need to stick together!
I agree. Sticking together is best.
Hang in there
Thank you, I’ll try. As soon as I'm able I want to move to a blue state.
I saw a report recently stating that CA is losing 10,000 residents because working folks can't afford to live here anymore; top states they were moving to included TX, AL, FL and some other red states I can't remember now. Wondered if those folks could help your state and other red states turn blue.
That's been going on for many years. If they were going to turn it it would've been done already. This state is red through and through. It may be that many of those transplants didn't vote. It's just a guess. Funny, I was born in Fullerton California. My father was an aerospace engineer and moved us to Texas so he could work at NASA. I wish he had stayed in California but he did what was right at the time. The cost of living is becoming comparable to California now. It's ridiculous how much the rents are and house costs are skyrocketing! I don't have any idea of where to go after I sell my family home.
One big reason housing is so expenses is between 25-44% of homes are owned by investors (depending on how you define "investors," whether small or large), and that's happening in every state. Senator Jon Ossoff called this out during a recent speech in GA.
I feel for you; can't imagine being a woman in TX now with their horrid law giving anyone $10,000 for simply accusing a fellow Texan of assisting a woman in exercising her reproductive rights. The worst repercussion of the R party's govt. takeover is the loss of trust on all fronts: pitting people against each other, defaulting on treaties, lying to the public, and turning on our allies.
Yeah, it's getting bad. I never in my life thought I'd see this happening. I get offers to buy my house that my father left me all the time from those “investors”. They lowball me. I wouldn't sell to them anyway. I don't want to be part of the problem. I thankfully have my son and daughter who help me. I also have a sister in Denver. I'd love to live in Colorado again as I have lived there a few times but the cost of living has gotten high! Pretty soon there won't be anywhere that's affordable to live.
The fact that the Texas state government will pay someone who reports a woman who is exercising her right to handle her reproductive rights is utterly disgusting and wrong! All these politicians would make Hitler proud.
We will miss you visiting in Florida, Geoff....but we totally understand. Thanks for standing up against Trump and his ridiculous tariffs, etc. (Barb in Jacksonville FL)
This is smart as the Florida Legislature is about to pass a new law letting 18 year olds have guns and AK’s . The previous age was 21.
Florida is one of the armpits of America along with Texas , SD, ID, and other southern states.
Wow! I couldn’t have said it better! Just wish the south would secede from the union again. And maybe take SD, ND and Idaho with them.
Hawaiian Sovereignty movement wants independence from Amerikkka
Make responsible gun owners!
👏👏
Please still come to California!! Just take a direct flight!!!
Yes Californians are friendly, we are safer, we don't carry guns either 💗
No thanks.........ICE operates nationwide..........Salt Spring Island in BC or Jamaica......Cheers
For us from the UK that's just as bad! Its the USA, Period!
I refuse to spend my vacation dollars in Florida.
I'm glad for you. I live here in the US. I think no one should come here under these horrifying times. And there is no telling when it will end. The trump admin's plan is to destroy the very country that gave them all the privileges they have had. A very large number of malignant narcissists. Super sad for my children, all children here, the rest of my family, and the entire country and world.
Good. We will be vacationing in the UK (we hate Trump) so please welcome us 😅
Australia's a beautiful place to visit too... you would be welcome here, too, as long as you're not a MAGA Cult Member or sycophant!
I'm sorry. You are smart not to come right now.
Yes, none of my friends and family canceled their trips. No visits :-(
Meidas Meighty STAY STRONG!!! May God keep you safe from Maga. We need you!
I wonder when the spineless GOP will stand up to this orange buffoon and start impeachment.
They won’t stand up to the rapey felon because the repug wet dream is underway- destroying government no matter if it hurts their own constituents. No SNAP benefits, no SSA, no FEMA support during disasters, no health care for the elderly or needful. And it’s doubtful if future elections will be happening since they will most likely be bought by the muskrat so repugs are ensured reelection.
No voluntary filing or payment of taxes to support a lawless, cruel, lying, stupid, greedy, white male government.
The Federal Government and the union of states to make the nation of USA is no longer the government of, by, for the People. The Constitution, 3 equally powerful branches of the Federal Gov with checks and balances, law/order, honorable public servants, democratic republic is no more. Federal Government has breached the contract ratified by my state centuries ago and I no longer recognize an obligation to pay for anything except our military. Judicial Branch cannot enforce their rulings or the laws. Legislative Branch is controlled by puppets of trump/oligarchs/musk/MAGA Mob-they are afraid to lose a JOB so they give everything over to the Executive Branch. Legislative Branch did not Impeach trump TWICE. They do not pass laws to protect people from guns, abortion bans, corrupt US Supreme Court judges who take gifts from oligarchs and will not recuse themselves for conflict of interest. Legislative Branch confirms unqualified, partisan hacks to run Executive Branch Cabinets and lifetime judgeships. Executive Branch with new immunity while President and after Presidency for undefined "official duties" rules DC by Executive orders, pardons 1500 violent 1/6/2021 insurrectionists, will pardon anyone loyal to Kingdom Trump.
On and on, lawless, cruel, Mob Bosses enact King Donald's orders on tattooed people, students, law firms, visa holders, protesters, media, immigrants, females, DEI, federal workers etc. ALL on our IRS TAXES and US Treasuries.
THIS is not the deal ratified by my state and therefore I'm out. IRS taxes will not support anything but our military and never sent to support authoritarian, oligarchic or theocratic rulers more ruthless, cruel, richer, more powerful, greedy than England's King George III in 1776.
Kathy, different subject. There was a lady, back in the ‘60s that raised Arabian horses. Her name was Bazy Tankersley? Are you related?
Not that I know, I took my husband’s last name and didn’t know many of his relatives, but interesting to know that. Thanks
Thank you. I am an Arabian horse nut and was just curious.😊
I love horses but somehow I never had good luck with them. I don’t know if they sensed I was a novice but I’ve had horses step on my foot and lean on me so ended up with a really painful injury but not broken thankfully (I was 13). Then went horseback riding at a camp in the mountains and since I picked a horse named Diablo, it lived up to its name and ran away with me down the trail back to the barn. I barely hung on and the ranch hand came galloping after us. It was a scene out of a western, funny but not.
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
I told my husband that we're NOT paying federal taxes for the foreseeable future. Musk nosing around in our government business, nope. We'll pay state taxes to IL, federal no way.
Wouldn’t it be beautiful if they initiated it and needed the Dems votes 😍
We can only hope!! But yes, it would be soooooooo beautiful.
Feathere of Hope.

Hahaha.... like THAT's ever gonna happen... I'm afraid their SPINES and BALLS have gone for good. :-(
You mean CHEETO?
I don't wonder. It'll be never.
Never!
The Amish who voted for Trump in the election will not come out to support him or his party in the midterms that's what the farmer from Lancaster county said .He brings really good farm fresh eggs to the city. the Amish are Christians and they now realize that Trump and his administration are acting in an unchristian way.
The way it works is they have a bishop who tells them how to vote. In the last two cycles I tried to get Biden or someone with gravitas to meet the bishop, but crickets.
They support wack-job Kennedy who says it is okay to sell raw milk.........even though people get sick and sometimes died.
They are the biggest puppy mill operators and never voted for Hillary or Kamala......because they are women............
Puppy mill monsters.
Trump was right. Parts of America are like a 3rd world country. So sad that people are being hoodwinked like this.
The sexual abuse of women and child within the Amish community is rampant, and never talked about. I can't agree they are "good people" just because they claim they are christians. They may be very nice people and nonviolent, that but doesn't mean anyone should overlook the real harm that occurs under their eyes.
You are right The Amish have treated women very poorly .the Amish farmer guy was trying to tell me we are not perfect far from it but if they wake up to how bad Trump is maybe they'll start to modernize. The state of Pennsylvania has to enforce the laws. I know in New York state the Orthodox Jewish have similar issues with women's rights and poor educations coming from some of the ULTRA (unlikely to reach agreement) yeshiva's prehistoric viewpoints.
To most of us it looks like cultish Behavior, to them they think they're protecting Purity and respect to God. Keep growing organic food and waking up is the best I could hope for them.
CBS News reported years ago how Amish brothers ripped down the bathroom door to get at their sister for sex. When authorities charged them with rape they all showed up in church to "pray" and do the fake Christian..."thoughts and prayers"routine.
I was in essence their lawyer -- my brother and I represented the township with the most Amish per square inch than any other -- Wilmington Twp, Lawrence County. They sold their milk to a cheese factory so it did not have to be pasteurized. I wrote the zoning ordinance to keep the township in the 19th century. They opposed all sanitation, paved roads, etc. The twp supervisors were "English" farmers who hired a lot of Amish labor.
The twp sold them a school district after Yoder v Wisconsin. Schools taufght by 13 year old girls. One room schools.
Our late friend sold their furniture and toys world wide -- to department stores in Paris, London, NY. She represented Amish communities as far as South America and Canada. They took their goods via the bus to Pittsburgh. When I was taking the bar, I was the only English person on the bus... They bought and sold livestock at auctions. As a kid, my uncle and I would attend. My uncle spoke Yiddish to them. I took German in school. Ag the time, there were no Jews in the township but we had a stable -- and hired them intermittently. I'm sure they knew we were Democrats (my dad was the DA) but they wanted my brother and me to represnnt them.
They had a lot of intermarriage. Short life expectancies. Used us to try to defeat the dower interest, would not devise to daughters. They lost a lot of their kids, who can elect to become "English" and are forever shunned.
I was court appointed in "blue baby" cases, cases when necessary medical treatement was rejected. They had a major schism when the wife of a bishop had to be taken to a hospital.
They refused to appear in court but they always voted and according to my brother participated in stuff like the zoning hearing board. I left in about 1979 but my brother represented when he retired in 2018.
They didn't want sanitation? No wonder they voted for Trump.
Thus the cheese factory.
No serwers. The Department of Environmental Resuources rerquired "perp" tests. No public water.
In other townships we represented we set uo seoerate sewage authorities. Paved all roads.
They voted straight Republican after the IRS sold off horses garnished for failing to pay taxes. Our bar association wrote an amics brief on their behelf. Also lost a case requring Amish employers to wthold FICA taxes.
After I left, my brother represented several other towsnships that had Amish populations.
Not ALL Amish are puppy mills.
what took so long for the Amish??
I just learned something new about the Amish. I didn’t think they voted. And that’s from a documentary I watched.
Just an FYI - there aren’t any/many Mormons in Lancaster County. They’re the Amish in that area - very different ideologies
Yes Joan I made a mistake I meant Amish not Mormons I haven't figured out how to correct my notes yet thank you for noticing that
They only just noticed!?!
I've lived in the same cities and counties of the Amish for 27 years. Sadly many of them do not get the same news, procasts, or information like the rest of us. I hope they are informed of The Medias Touch, I know they would like it.
I voted for this guy twice. Why do Trump voters continue to defend this guy? To Cheeto, all America means to him is more money for his Oligarchs. Draining the swamp fills their pockets.
A bit late to the gate.
Well I would ask is Trump raping women enough to know he is and never will be a Christian. What other proof do you need. Now they take your tax money. Dismantling all our life savings programs. Killing our military. All while they vacation every day off the backs of hard working Americans. Hell how many of you work your ass off and can never afford a real vacation?
Won’t cross the 49th parallel anytime soon. I used to travel there from Southern Alberta Canada often. No more!!!!
Get it. Hate it, but I completely get it.
We are sorry and most are trying to impeach CHEETO.
Who is?
Again, wondering how much we are paying for all the DOJ lawsuits defending this administration? That’s newsworthy information for all of us.
billions lost from firings for many by Nazi musk and tRump TARIFFS!!!
All I can say is now would be a good time to be a lawyer; business is booming, unfortunately.
DRumPf flags still flying in central Illinois. Not seeing much change so far. And lots of aggressive town cops revving their engines near POC and/or gay members of the community. There aren’t many so they are easy targets here. State is blue, but this area may as well be Mississippi. I hope everyday to see those flags come down.
Anywhere south of I-80 is Mountain Dew territory.
Just subscribed! Love your truth. Thank you.
I am so grateful for you guys. Thank you for updating us on everything we need to know. It is appreciated how factual you are and not dramatic liars like you know who. Thank you again. I have shared you podcasts and insta accounts to so many of my friends. Keep up the great work. We need you guys!
America has Fallen
The 3 branches of government are ran by the white supremacists aka Republicans;1st time every America can no longer claim to be #1;1st time ever, America refused to stand up as the world leader; instead, the American government under the white supremacist leaders, the republican party has bent Americans' knee and kissed the Russians ring; America has fallen because America's white supremacists have failed their last callin; no longer is it America first; white supremacy under demonic trump has made the US, The American Worst; The white supremacist bubble has burst ; under demonic trump, America went from America first to America Worst.We're #2, is what America leadership has made of - You.
Obstruction worse than the crime, always.
Stay strong! Rise up!
It’s not an administration, call it for what it is, the turd regime.
Can maga just say ai…anything they don’t want to know, they simply say it’s not real.
I think it would help Josh Weil immensely if you did an interview with him!!!
Waltz also said he never met the reporter, although there is a photo of them together….. Hmmmm
Is there a way to get the innocent people so wrongly sent to El Salvador back? Or are they stuck there forever even if the court case against these deportations succeeds?
Hopefully the federal judge will issue the order.
Read an article where the Judge said he could not order that they be returned. He said he would if he could.
Why is hegseth not in the brig!! He has let war plans out on text and killed four soldiers!! Why the hell is wrong with people! Fight this regime!! Get out in the streets and Fight!!!
I am doing my best to buy as many canadian products as I can
1st they had NO Business discussing this on Unsecured devices, next they ALL should have looked at these attending this meeting, then Hegseth should have stated that there was an unauthorized person on the message next this app has NOT been approved for ANY level personnel. Not only the MOST CORRUPT Administration but the most INCOMPETENT CABINET AND PRESIDENT! ALL Should be fired but not sure Trump could find that many loyal people after the mess he has created!
they have been successful in drawing the CULT in deeper. FORTUNATELY, Meidas Touch Community and NORMAL Humans in America Are Greater than the IGNORANT. Be Safe Meiselas Brothers and Community!💪💙💪💙💪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻👍🏻
Is there any way to get these poor, innocent men back? This is horrible!
Shout out to Canada! Elbows up!!!
I really liked that picture of Zelenskyy, Macron, and the group around them. It's nice to know that other countries have Ukraine's back because the United States certainly doesn't.
Signalgate is what happens when you put people in positions they have no business being in and putting stupid people in charge of intelligence. These people are so incompetent.
Trump not knowing or caring to know about the missing soldiers in Lithuania proves that the Commander-in-Chief does not care about the military (and let's not forget about him shitting on veterans). The sad part is that he called them suckers and losers, but many of them voted for him anyway. Maybe they didn't believe he said it. Bet they believe it now.
Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. The word "honorable" should never be displayed by her name.
I hope all of our allies and friends will come back when the orange pig is gone.👍🏾
Nope Canada has left the building…
😢
Sorry TG but you can NOT have a personal opinion when you’re head of national Intelligence!!!!! Your opinion should be PRO America PERIOD!!
These Countries will NOT be Bullied by Trump or MUSK, The republican party need to grow a spine and say NO MORE TRUMP or MUSK as they are Killing the American Taxpayers, Everything Trump touches turns to shit and now he is turning American into the Shithole he claimed 3rd world countries where!
He is not the leader of the free world. He forfeited that title. Zelenskyy (correct spelling) is the leader of the free world
I like you guys very much but I’m starting to wince more and more. Why? You are starting to stretch the accuracy of your stories. For example, VP Vance’s trip to Greenland was not cancelled. It was scaled back to only include the US base. By stretching your reporting, you are doing a disservice to the public you serve.
I am a huge fan of Meidas but the sentiment of Jeanette’s comment has crossed my mind too on occasion.
I agree. I've already seen at least 2 examples of inaccurate reporting in the last week. That's why we left mainstream media in the first place.
I think you should be more threatened by the lies coming from Trump then some of the well-meaning statements that might not be fully accurate look at the meaning of the message nobody wants vance in Iceland
I don’t disagree with you. But, if Independent Media starts to slide like this, it could ruin the trust in media the independent reporting is building.
This is becoming an absolute nightmare. We are being consumed by an administration that refuses to serve our country. They’re supposed to be working for us, not against us. These people are pure evil, and the world is turning its back on us. And justifiably so.
MAGA is killing our republic, and they are celebrating their idiotic leaders who are killing people’s lives without any justification. These people should move to Russia if this is the kind of country they want to live in. We will not surrender our constitution to these idiots.
This is exactly what they planned. Everything is going to plan.
The lawlessness of the Trump Administration deprives us all of our civil rights. Why does not big law sue the Administration to right the ship? They are willing to GIVE AWAY $25 million as a bribe to Trump. It makes sense to spend that money on a civil suit against Trump and the Administration. DOJ lawyers are not infinite in numbers, and low-bidder consulting lawyers are not so hot. After a protracted lawsuit, awards would be substantial. This is similar to a contingency fee lawsuit, plentiful after a bus crashes. One has here.
https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/conspiracy-against-us?r=3m1bs
I don’t know where my comment went but here goes…Hegseth and Waltz DO NOT HAVE the experience to run the Dept. of Defense…Generals have that experience…Those two were nominated because of their loyalty to Trump instead of loyalty to Country…More over its imperative to protect our Troops from careless idiots…
And unlike Fox News watchers we know what a Houthi is.
We Canadians are not only buying Canadian products. We are buying products from many other countries too. Only boycotting American.
Let’s play “who am I”. Fake boobs, hair extensions, too much Botox and lip filler flaunting my stuff in tight clothes in front of half naked men in jail?
Nazis have long been concerned about being silenced and not being able to express their conservative opinions So the diatribes go….being bullied, “thought police” But it’s not that they have been silenced it’s just that their opinions are often so outrageous that they are laughable eg Fox and Friends
So there is a Nazi attack on free speech If the Nazis don’t like what you say then it’s not free speech Complete HYPOCRISY
It’s not about free speech it’s about their protected speech….the Nazi free speech of propaganda
Networks should lose their FCC licenses Judges with differing opinions should be impeached Banning news organizations who don’t go along with the Nazi talking points Going after law firms that don’t favor the regime’s propaganda line Students with green cards who protest with differing opinions should be thrown out of the country because “they are agitators who don’t love our country” Universities should lose federal grant money if they dare speak out against the Nazi regime Take over the Kennedy Center for Continuing Arts to even control the art’s free speech and have only shows that are deemed “appropriate”
But billionaire/oligarchic Nazis protect social media such as X, Meta, and Tik Tok because it’s algorithmic, simply a machine that directs your attention It’s planned Nazi propaganda And it’s not free speech Billionaires are literally rewiring our thinking to solidify their power grab
This is what it looks like living in a dictatorship in the 21st century Fox channel is the only channel available and X will be the social media platform WAKE UP AMERICA
From Jon Stewart March 24 2025 Daily Show https://bit.ly/41IXEvA
Canada strong! Democracy strong! We will get through this together.
What in the world why would he think nobody knows what a Houthi is? All of those crazy people in our White House are totally clueless
they think we are idiots. and believe everything they tell us… hook, line, and sinker
He doesn’t know anything and blames everyone or everything. He doesn’t know, he hasn’t read , or he hasn’t heard? WTF he’s really an ARSE. What is Pete talking about he’s an as
I hope our allies and friends come back when that prick is gone.
Hi, I am a Canadian and proud of it. I can't believe that the broadcaster on Fox News yesterday commented on nobody knows who are the Houthis. How ignorant. Also,the Ag should have a few ECT treatments to adjust her brain and bring het back to reality. I very much regret with what is happening in the US.
Seeing the reaction from Canadians and Europeans almost brings a feeling of vindication to those of us here in the U.S. with any education or empathy, who've fought this idiocy from day one. I hate that it's how we're perceived, but completely understand and support them. Nobody should have to wade through the shit this administration is gleefully rolling around in. They're having a f'ing frat party and lying to everyone's face about it... to what end?!
Is it me or does trump look like he is putting on his orange makeup with a putty knife? Inquiring minds want to know.
"Yale professor who studies fascism, fleeing US to work in Canada.
Jason Stanley, who wrote the 2018 book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, has decided to leave the United States to work in Toronto.
Stanley told the Daily Nous, a philosophy profession website, that he made the decision "to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship...Part of it is you’re leaving because ultimately, it is like leaving Germany in 1932, 33, 34.
There’s resonance: my grandmother left Berlin with my father in 1939. So it’s a family tradition." That should uh, ring some SERIOUS alarm bells for the rest of us." (The Guardian)......

As an American who’s horrified by what the Trump regime has been doing and what they plan to do, I thank everyone for standing up and fighting against this inhumane and corrupt Trump regime by staying away until America can take back its nation and get rid of the MAGA/Nazi cult. Meidas Touch is the BEST! Thanks Ben, Brett, Jordy, and all the Meidas contributors for keeping us up to date on everything! You’re #1 because you’re the BEST!
I was curious about how many countries have U.S. military bases, so I googled: "How many U.S. military bases are in different countries?
The U.S. military maintains hundreds of military installations, both inside the United States and overseas (with at least 128 military bases in 55 countries and territories, as of February 2025). Some American bases are also NATO-led with forces from multiple countries." What if overseas countries, including those on our continent, began to demand closure of U.S. military bases in order to counteract Trumps aggression?
And the US has to get permission to have bases in other countries. I predict that many countries will say...get out! I think Greenland might be the first.
I have never seen anything as disgusting as that propaganda film with Kristi Noem posing in front of the cell in the infamous prison in El Salvador. No one wants dangerous people in our country, but these people are still human beings, some of whom reportedly have committed no crimes, who were denied their right to due process under our laws.
In the Palm Springs desert area, approximately 1500 Canadians own homes in my development. Most of them are thinking about selling out, which does not bode well for our home values or the area economy.
I have to travel out of US, and as we all know it doesn’t matter if we are citizens or not, when we come back home, at the airport our phones will be taken and plugged into gadgets to verify we don’t say or publish anything that trump and his administration think is against him and his laws, or against Russia.
So even if we publish just what is going on, and denounce cruelty, or attacks to privacy without reason, or even mention human rights, we can be detained endlessly or abused, or tortured. Meaning I could go through all that just to be a member of any truthful media like this one. I will have to delete my subscription and history, until is safe and we go back to having freedom of speech.
It might be easier just to get an inexpensive big button phone for old people at Walmart and use that when you travel. Never advocate for violence in any of your Communications I know people who finish their international calls always with I love my country and I will never do anything to undermine the Constitution
Wondering if it's worth to continue say: What if this were the Biden admin? Or Hillary's email? This is the GOP. It has no meaning to narcissists or cult followers. It just doesn't. What I'd love to know, with all this discussion of Trump not knowing this or that, I think of Heather Cox Richardson's Letter 03-27-25 where she makes it clear that Trump isn't in charge and that is by the design of the Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025. They don't want him in charge. Because THEY are in charge. This includes Vance as part of "they." And what about Curtis Yarvin, who plotted all this, including putting someone like Musk in there to carry out the planned destruction, according to reporting cited in HCR? Reporters have noted that Yarvin sees Trump as an idiot. But isn't that the point? He golfs and they keep him in the dark, while they hatchet away or bomb away. I am just one of your readers. I'm not a journalist. But isn't this really important for people/voters across the nation to know as for the reasons Trump is so often in the dark?

Rump is demented and they’re running the country around him. Lmao
Keep it hot guys! I sent this to a maga friend, yes I have maga friends, when he quoted the "Art of The Deal" by Tony Schwartz of course.

This article written by Jane Mayer in 2016 is worth a read. As you may have guessed my friend had no idea. Telling and sad.
A bit confused. CNN just reported that JD and Usha have touched down in Greenland. ???
I think they are now staying on the US base only. Have to save face and attempt to intimidate somehow
Thought it was canceled?
Prior to the planned visit they were going door to door in Greenland asking if they would invite Usha into their homes. All the Greenlanders said NO. Also 2 major protests were planned. So then they decided just to go to the base. They didn't expect problems there as it is far removed from the larger population and the people around the base are more familiar with Americans.
Thanks Pennsylvania🙏🙏 That bodes well for the next couple of Elections🙏

I voted for this guy twice. Why do Trump voters continue to defend this guy? To Cheeto, all America means is more money for his Oligarchs. Draining the swamp fills their pockets.
It’s hard to act like a responsible leader 🤪 spending days playing golf and surrounding yourself with the least intelligent, most corrupt, and unqualified vaudeville billionaire shysters to fill political positions! Plus adding an unAmerican foreigner (Musk) who has squatted in the White House turning it into his own personal cat house. 🙄 Rich radical ruthless Republicans values on display.😝
Didn't Wired find Hegseth's Russian email address? Probably Gabbard n Hegseth are chatting it daily.
It's hard to learn about all these f@@k-ups, but I just want to cry over their hapless way of trying to govern. They think our government is a toy for them to play Monopoly with. And they know nothing.

I watched Brian Tyler Cohen earlier and he highlighted an interesting interview on FAKE FOX with Tommy Tubberville(R-AL).

I like and understand that you have seen and heard the issues facing our intelligence Services and that we keep our security of our country by those who remember what John McCain the U.S senator who spoke of Russia's Danger to America. That's why Trump despised Him as a war hero that got captured,and is not to be respected. First the come for me then they come for you when you don't fall in line.

"'Tributes are required': Foreign leaders and CEOs 'privately' insult 'mob boss' Trump.
Donald Trump's transactional nature has carried over into his second presidency, leading CEOs and world leaders to whisper behind his back, according to a report.
Axios reported early Friday morning that, "If you're a foreign leader or a CEO about to meet with President Trump — or if you want to avoid his vengeance — come bearing gifts."
Government officials and business leaders around the world have gotten the message and are strategizing about how to give Trump real or perceived wins to try to smooth out any relationship bumps with the new administration, and avoid economic or legal penalties," the report states.
The report goes as far as to state that, "Some privately have compared him to a mob boss: Tributes are required, and the shakedowns come with the full weight of the U.S. government." (Raw Story)......

Just wondering what you think about sending a letter to the White House that says, “Elon plans to put you in a nursing home and take over as dictator as soon as he finishes abolishing the government.” Or something like that. Don’t know if Rump would ever get it, but according to the Dark Enlightenment, either Elon or someone else, maybe JD, maybe several people, have these plans. And it would, perhaps, increase Rump’s sense of paranoia.
This has nothing to do with the subject but I'm hoping that Ben will read the following....which made me sick to my stomach about Musk & his corrupt family History.....disgusting to say the least. He is literally in the process of destroying our democracy because of his Nazi background....He DOES NOT care about us or America....just his rotten money and more ways to destroy us.
Ben, you need to listen to Aime of DEMOCRACY NOW whereby she interviews someone from THE GUARDIAN and what he has reported about Elon and his Nazi roots.Also how he moved from South Africa at age of 18 otherwise he would have been enlisted into the service which he was chicken s… to do. His family goes back to his grandfather,etc history & how evil they were attempting to undo the government there….so sorrowful. It would behoove you or someone to listen to this story and it makes it even more plausible understanding how that idiot Musk along with others are infiltrating Mr. Trump Brainless idiot.
Another subject he got to report on was Elon & Peter Tiels & others on PayPal which sounds like a mafia org. I do not use it since it helps them get richer.
I thought this regime used Signal intentionally bc it doesn’t store messages!?!? So they figured it would disappear after the fact. Also, isn’t the hubbub around the leak hiding/distracting from the fact that there was an attack on Yemen?

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his soul?" ~ Mark 8:36.
(In Matthew 16:26, Jesus asks, "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"
This highlights the transcendental value of the soul over worldly gain, and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing spiritual well-being and following Christ, even at the cost of worldly success.)

"Elon Musk is rushing to shore up our MAGA opponent in the FL06 special election — committing millions to unplanned last-minute MASSIVE ad buys to rescue his floundering campaign, after Steve Bannon warned they are losing.
But Musk isn’t stopping there. We’re hearing reports that Musk’s PAC is paying voters $100 to show up and vote Republican, the same dirty trick he pulled in the 2024 presidential race, that gave Trump a critical boost in the final month of the election.
And where Musk and Bannon lead, the rest of MAGA follows.
Look, let’s be frank and just call it what it is: MAGA is trying to steal this election.
They know that if they lose here, it will stop their attempts to punish their political opponents and sell off the federal government to their billionaire buddies.
That’s why things are incredibly urgent right now. This flood of outside spending means that we have to load the boat: TV, digital, mail, phone calls, and the most aggressive and effective ground game Florida has ever seen.
The very future of our country depends on leaving it all on the field here. Can you send in some much-needed reinforcements to fight Musk and the MAGA machine with a donation of literally any amount today -- split with Gay Valimont?
We simply cannot afford to let up. Thank you for your support in these crucial final days of this special election."

"The war on women has new momentum now that MAGA is back in power, and it could ultimately lead to American women losing the right to vote, argued a senior writer at Salon.
Amanda Marcotte wrote in Wednesday's piece that Donald Trump's success in repealing Roe — the landmark 1973 decision that gave women automony over their own bodies — has emboldened right-wing factions looking to strip women of even more rights.
Marcotte posted that "many on the right feel they no longer need to hide the naked sexism fueling their movement or put up with the annoyance of women in even token leadership positions," now that Trump is once again in charge.
"Forty-five percent of female voters backed Trump in 2024, despite his overt misogyny," Marcotte wrote. "Most, no doubt, believed that complicity would protect them, and that the attacks would be centered on other women. But while the GOP certainly wants to strip liberal and feminist women of their rights, male MAGA leaders are showing increasing interest in bringing Republican women to heel, both culturally and through the force of law."

Just days before voters head to the polls, Musk's PAC plans to award $1 million each to two Wisconsin voters.His goal? Tipping the scales in favor of the Trump-backed candidate, Brad Schimel.
This isn’t just unethical. It’s almost certainly criminal. Under Wisconsin law, it’s a felony to offer or give anything of value to induce someone to vote or not vote.
Musk’s electric car company, Tesla, has a lawsuit that could soon be heard by this very court. His $1 million "lottery" could directly impact a case where he has a financial stake.
And yet, while Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul sued in an attempt to stop it from happening, he hasn't launched a criminal investigation with the intention to prosecute for what’s already happened.
At least, not yet. What is he waiting for? If he doesn’t act now, this won’t just be one corrupt election. It’ll be the new blueprint for every race to come.
Tell Attorney General Kaul to do more than sue. Click “START WRITING’ to urge him to investigate and, if it’s illegal, prosecute Musk’s $1 million voter payoff now." (National Campaign for Justice)......

Wisconsin....please don't sell out your state and country for Musk's dirty, filthy money. It will ultimately come back to bite you, because Trump and Musk don't care about you. If they did, they wouldn't be trying to buy your vote. They would be helping families solve their everyday issues. Buying your vote only makes them more powerful and richer....not you. Selling your vote is selling your soul to Trump and Musk. They are the devil incarnate.

I've been saying since 2016 that trump will destroy our country and guess what he is. I'm scared what will happen if he gets the chance he will.

I guess there is one good thing this whole horror show has brought about... and that is.... Americans on the whole are FINALLY realising the Country they were previously living in was NOT such a terrible place after all, and the Government Services they were previously relying on, were VITAL services, helping them to lead free and productive lives! So NOW, you are seeing more people rallying AGAINST THIS FASCIST REGIME in MASSIVE NUMBERS! (Shame they weren't doing that BEFORE November 5, but maybe it took this DISASTROUS REGIME to WAKE THEM THE FUCK UP!) Stay strong guys.... Australia's with you!
Hahahaha.... Mr Leaky... LOVE IT!!! (Quick! Get out of the White House.... the walls/Walz are leaking!...lol hahahaha)
The LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE in your current Administration is MIND-BOGGLING! :-o
I believe, that BECAUSE Trump is not really mentally functioning as well as he should be (that was the politest way of putting that ;-) ), the sycophants around him, are not really telling him ANYTHING, and doing as they like. He gets up and is the occasional mouthpiece (at which he fails miserably, because he is a weak, pathetic loser), then he's allowed to go out and play goft again... which is all he really wants to do, when really he should be on a 5150 hold, be removed under the 25th Amendment, and the rest of his cabinet IMPEACHED!
My question is this..... as the Trump Fascist Regime is finally convinced the majority of their base are turning against them.... how long do you think it will be, before he orders that ALL American citizens guns are confiscated, to they can't rise up against him in that way???? A valid question, I think, in these dark times.... especially, if their previous 'MAGA Faithful' are starting to wake up..... ????
Sorry, but imo the coverup is NOT worse that what they did. Steve Witkoff, who was IN THE KREMLIN WITH HIS PRIVATE PHONE, whilst on this Signal Chat! After they were ALL notified that Signal was NOT a safe app from access by adversaries, by, none other that the NSA!!! Steve Witkoffs phone was compromised and EVERYTHING on it would have been downloaded by Russia! By having HIS phone content.... every single person in THAT chat, and ANYONE who would have been in his contacts on his phone... THEIR information is ALSO now compromised!!! The WHOLE ADMINISTRATION should be REMOVED FORTHWITH!!! This, in my view, was not a mistake.... it was a deliberate act to provide Russia with EVERYTHING they could ever dream of! Never before in the history of your Country, if not the world has this type of DELIBERATE INCOMPETENCE ever been seen! Grrrr! (Sending love and strength to you all from Australia. We're with you in Spirit! Please stay strong, keep up the good fight and stay safe if you can!)
How many tattoos do you think Hegseth has? Enough to send him to El Salvador concentration camp?
I wanna know...if they didn't mean to put Jeffrey on the chat...who is it they were trying to add?
Our Mark Carney is and will remain strong in defending our freedoms and values. However there is a pretender who wants to usurp this position. POLIVIERE. First he echoed trump, encouraged by the maga north. When that started to fail, poliviere created ads almost identical in sentiment with Mark Carney. Do not be fooled, PP remains a sycophant of Trump and would love nothing more than offer us up on a silver platter to this tyrant.
The thing that really really gets to me besides innocent people who are now collateral damage are the ones in this country (i.e. farmers) who thought to themselves, that they would rather lose their livelihood, and to be broke and put on the streets, in order to make "others" struggle and suffer.
Trump ran to get out of his crimes he doesn’t want to be president, but there’s a lot of bad people around him that want to take control.
Okay. Whatever Trump is, he is NOT the leader of the free world. In embracing a fascist philosophy and goals he repudiated that title.

We need more WINS! We must get rid of Trump & all his Trumpers!
Any chance they added in Mr. Goldberg on purpose to see how bad the kickback would be? If nobody (i.e., Mr. Goldberg) said anything or blew it off, then the work moving forward would be a breeze.
Love everything you guys do. You give us the real news! Thank you!
Wasn’t going through a pandemic enough? Now we have to deal with this takeover of our country!!!
Thank you for your support Canada!!! Stay away from this dictatorship
Love you. I would love you more when you use elbows up that you better clarify that the Canadians have elbows up and we support them. To me it does not sit well for us to say elbows up Canada. I am not offended because I know how you mean it. Just a grain of salt.
Actually they did go to the us base in greenland
Thank you all. You are my lifeline to my sanity and my hope
Honestly I don’t think Trump is truly running the country. What I do think is that he is the face of the country that MAGA idolizes and that are loyal to him. Therefore I believe the country is being run by a puppet master called the Heritage Foundation and that scares me more than Trump. Food for thought
This country is now being run by oligarchs
"Trump's car taxes on Americans."
"Trump said worldwide automobile taxes, er, tariffs will come into effect next week, on April 3, alongside Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs, due April 2.
The new 25 percent tariff will be applied to autos parts, as well." (Robert Reich, March 28, 2025)......

"Remove Trump NOW. We can't wait until 2029.
Donald Trump is wrecking our economy, alienating our allies, and putting America on a path to devastation.
We can't afford to wait un 2029 for his presidency to end. We need to remove him NOW.
If just half of Senate Republicans joined with Democrats, we'd have enough votes to remove him (after impeachment by the House). We need to put pressure on Republicans to do this. They should not get a free pass just because we expect them to be spineless. Plus, the crashing stock market and foreign policy blunders are scaring Congressional Republicans, who face reelection. We need to take advantage of this to separate them from Trump.
Yes, Vance would be no picnic, but Trump is the clear and present danger to our nation, and we need to remove him ASAP.
Please add your name, and tell Congress to remove Trump NOW. America can't wait until 2029." (Left Action)......

"Last week, the Trump administration pulled funding for research to protect pregnant women from domestic violence, citing it as a “DEI” initiative.
The affected project would have created a multi-day training program for OBGYNs and other healthcare professionals to help spot the correlation between domestic violence and pregnancy.
In the United States, the number one cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women is homicide by an abusive partner. This demographic is also more than twice as likely to be murdered than to die from sepsis, hypertensive disorders, or hemorrhage.
To put it mildly, updates like these make my blood boil—especially when I think about the future my daughter will inherit.
What world will she grow up in if things stay on this track?
Will she have autonomy over her own body, able to decide if, when, and with whom to grow a family? Will there be resources to protect her against intimate partner violence?
Will she have access to the full spectrum of healthcare, even if she falls on hard times, no matter her zipcode?
Will she be able to exercise other basic, fundamental rights, like freedom of speech, without fear of persecution?
As parents, we all want our kids to have every possibility ahead of them. That’s why this recent attack on “DEI” resources for women infuriates me not just as a woman, but as a mother to a daughter.
These direct attacks make clear that our efforts to protect reproductive freedom, comprehensive healthcare, and fundamental civil liberties are all intertwined. We’re working to build a future where all of us, especially our kids, can realize our full potential.
Thank you for being with us."

*Consider it was not a mistake. The Atlantic journalist was added as a strategic move. They thought the journalist would jump on it. Resulting in endangering US military lives. Killing real journalism as this is a goal for this administration. But Goldberg handled it with care and integrity. It backfired. Why? They not like us.
This is why we do FBI background checks!!

Since Trump uses the defense mechanism "Projection" all of the time....calling others "Sleeze bags, and scumbags" makes perfect sense.
Felon tRump don't do any niceties to dead soldiers. He calls them losers
I have an original music composition that captures the way I/we feel. I'm still learning how to improve my production and mixing techniques, so this remains a work in progress. It’s a fight song—grassroots and all—
*We Are the Change*.
I designed this piece to be heard through headphones. Check it out and see if the muse takes hold. Suggestions from others are welcome. Who knows? Maybe you might even find a way to use it. Here are some lyrics I’ve come up with so far:
---
**I've got an idea!**
We can make it change,
Not just an idea we can rearrange.
**Do you feel me now?**
Are you with me?
Show me how—
We are the Change.

Love being a Meidas Mighty!!!! The summer of democracy starts in every state capital on April 5th!!! I'll be in mine. Also, Blake Gendebien is ready to take on Elise Stefanik and I'll be helping even though I'm one district over. We the people are standing up and we will be heard.
The scope of Republican incompetence & hubris is breathtaking.
Oh ..I get it. Like he never met EJean Carroll? Don’t know.

Trump is kin to the Tasmanian devil. Leaving paths of destruction, 24/7.
Did Hegseth say anything about the dead soldiers
Great discussion today, as usual. I could respond to almost everything you talked about, but I won't, I'm sure the majority feels the same as I do. What I do want to say is the way the orange felon answers questions, is proof positive that he only ran to stay out of prison. How the hell can you be commander in chief of a country and not know the answers to anything!?!?! I especially like (not) when he says, "oh well, that's what I heard, somebody said that". Are you fucking for real? He is so lackadaisical in his response to everything except when he tries to blame Hillary or Joe, who have absolutely ZERO to do with anything going on in this country now. It's all the orange felon and his regime, soon I fear, we will be playing The Hunger Games. 😞
The Aliens Act states, ‘War with a Country’. Are we at war with Venezuela?
MY GOD trump is the stupidest man on earth, if he even is a man. Maybe a Golum?
Hello Ice, if you're looking for tattoos on folks that need to be deported, I'm sure you'll find all you need on Hegseth.
This is all grotesque, the regime has to go.
I have no respect, for any one who votes GOP. They are fascists. This is not the country we want nor the one we grew up with.

After all that is going on I saw an Ontario plate today in Tucson. I was surprised because of the boycotting of America and after a Canadian journalist was detained because someone didn't like a post she wrote( probably he who should never be named), you know tRump, just kidding. They seemed unconcerned so welcome . For Tulsi Gabbard to say that no classified information was revealed is just wrong especially after listening to the segment I swear she said they should be in skif. Why? if no classified info was revealed . I guess putins girl is hard at work, just not for us.
Hegseth is such a frat boy ugh
Are we having fun yet? Yet? Yet? No no! What is it going to take for them to fire Trump?
Trump is a disgrace to our country
