I believe that the Congressional Republicans will pass Trump’s big, UGLY bill without any remorse because they believe in Trump and the fascists in his administration will be able to pull off his desired elimination of our Constitution and our elections.
We will no longer have elections in which the people can vote them out. It’s obvious that the republicans know this because of their refusal to have town hall meetings because they know that their constituents are against everything in the bill.
Robert Reich reported this in his 4am Substack. Hidden in Trump’s Big UGLY bill: “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….”
Translated: No federal court may enforce a contempt citation.
With this single provision, in other words, Trump will have crowned himself king. No congress and no court could stop him. Even if a future Congress were to try to stop him, it could not do so without the power of the courts to enforce their hearings, investigations, subpoenas, and laws.
Robert Reich finished with this: What can you do? To begin with, call your members of Congress and tell them not to pass Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill. (The Capitol Hill switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.)
Sadly just heard the bill passed in the House. I have little hope for the Senate. Ron Johnson is a snake and one of my Senators in Wisconsin. He wants even bigger cuts and has never supported SS.
Yes, I'm from another state. But, a few years ago I heard him say that he doesn't like paying for food for other people's children...or something to that affect. That made me dislike him on the spot. What kind of person says that?
That word has been thrown around a lot lately. Unfortunately, it's starting to lose it's true meaning. I don't think Jesus intended for Christians to act the way many of them in positions of power do.
I'm also from Wisconsin. I don't understand how Ron Johnson keeps getting re-elected, except to remind myself that his voter's are either ignorant or they are the same type of personality as Ron. These are people with cold, hard, black hearts & souls that only think of themselves & not their fellow man. It is your typical MAGA crowd. I am from S.E. Wisconsin, Ron Johnson's constituents are up north hillbillies.
Ron Johnson was the first one on tv denying J6, he said it was like people attending a big picnic. He also was the person responsible for getting a private plane to rush the fake elector's to Washington D.C.
I believe The Parnas Perspective substack reported it, I'm about to head to that and read what Aaron has to say 💙💙💙 keep fighting, love from Australia 🇦🇺 xxx
Ben and team, just now getting a chance to read this. I have always been political and maybe it’s because I was raised in the 50’s and 60’s. Became a hippie promoting peace and love and protested the Vietnam War in DC when I was in college. Burned my bra, witnessed the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, and Roe v. Wade all pass in Congress. Daughter of Holocaust victims and the mother of two very progressive daughters. Will continue to forge ahead with protests every weekend and especially on June 14th. That day is Flag Day but also Donny Convict’s 79th birthday. We are going to ruin his birthday plans on the 14th with millions taking to the streets. NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE IN!
I was going to write this and I’m glad you did. I read it too. We would need 5 Republican Senators to vote against it or remove that provision. With 53 Republican Senators and JD as tie breaker, we need 5 to break ranks or remove it.
WHY is Congress giving this to the person occupying the office of the President?
WHY?
THIS IS DANGEROUS, it is a complete danger to democracy.

This is exactly the reason why republicans don't hold town halls or care to answer their constituents - they don't have to.
They know the plan and they know the people will become powerless. It's the only thing that makes sense. Of course they're hiding it so there's no outcry from the people.
They know as long as they're traitor trump loyalists they'll get rich and nobody else matters.
You even see some meetings where republicans are abusing protestors. They're disgusting.
5 Calls App will do the annoying work for you. It identifies your reps when you fill in your zip code. Provides talking points if you want more info or can't think of what to say. Of course, posters here know exactly what they want to say, and it isn't pretty. Nor, should it be.
Well said Barb. I am getting no where with them in PA. Always machines, always no replies. I still won't stop. I fear too many think this is some sort of joke. That they don't need to pay attention. Complacent to politics in general. Wake up people. They are not playing. This is a crisis. To sit and wait for normal procedures is wasting time . They are not playing by any rules. Read Project 2025. Please. If you have ,you see what going on. Its not good. It is urgent. Thats their plan
I am writing to you as a deeply concerned constituent and proud American who values our Constitution, our democratic institutions, and our hard-won freedoms.
I am outraged by the recent bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 18, 2025, which, among other provisions, limits federal courts’ ability to hold government officials—including President Donald Trump—in contempt for defying court orders, and blocks courts from issuing national injunctions to prevent potentially unlawful actions by the executive branch.
These provisions are not just radical—they are dangerous. They fundamentally upend the balance of power that has kept tyranny in check since our founding. Courts must retain their power to enforce the law and defend citizens from abuse. Removing this check is an invitation to authoritarianism.
Even more chilling are the echoes of history that this bill conjures. In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler used similar tactics to dismantle Germany’s democracy. By neutering the courts and arresting critics, he created a regime that silenced dissent and targeted anyone who dared speak out. If we allow our courts to be stripped of their authority and critics of the administration to be vulnerable to retaliation, we are walking a similarly dangerous path.
Freedom of speech and judicial independence are the cornerstones of a free society. No president—past, present, or future—should be above the law or able to rule unchecked. These provisions must not stand.
I urge you to take a stand, speak out, and work to repeal these authoritarian measures and protect the democratic institutions that safeguard our liberty. History is watching—and so are your constituents.
I sadly agree with you. We have lost. Trump is our dictator and he will be doing everything he can to get rid of as many of us as possible. My life is over!
Is the provision to block enforcement of contempt citations legal??? It is a direct attack on the third pillar of our government as defined in the constitution.
It is time for the military 🪖 to wake the fuck up and take down the orange menace and his ilk of fascist project 2025 cronies! Enough is fucking enough of this clown shit show. They are all absolutely diabolical 👺👹 and abhorrent. 🤬😤😡
Ben, as an elderly person speaking to you, please please rest and take time away from this crap…the Meidas mighty family appreciates EVERYTHING you do and we need you but not at the expense of your health…blessings to you and your family…
Thank you Ben and everyone at the MeidasTouch for all your hard work and dedication and truth you give to all of us. The Republican Party is gone they are nothing but trumps asslickers they will do anything they’re little pathetic daddy tells them too and to hell with the American people and America. They would rather see everyday Americans who are just trying to live and survive out here lose their healthcare and lives because so many will if they don’t have their healthcare medicine and treatments. It’s sickening and disgusting the lengths they will go to for this pathetic demented corrupt criminal. So we have to fight like never before and the time is now even more. Because they are completely gone and at this point don’t care who they hurt and it will be at any cost for one devil evil monster.
Ben, I watched with horror Trumpolini and his band of evil brothers try to humiliate the President of South Africa in the Inquisition Room or Oval Office yesterday claiming he had allowed 1000 white farmers to be murdered which is a total and unsubstantiated lie. Apart from trying to intimidate and insult other leaders he seems to be preoccupied with insulting famous singers and film actors who he thinks have been mean to him. What a pathetic creature he is.
Sandra check out Dr Bandy X Lee Forensic Psychiatrist and violence prevention expert whe has been warning about DJT mental pathology and dangerousness since 2017. She and her colleagues have authored many books. The APA essentially silenced them for their own financial gain in 2017. If they had not done that we would not be in this situation. She has the solutions our Congressional leaders need to call on her. She is on Substwck you can join free and check her out at BandyLee.com
Please we help spread the word She says, " fascism is NOT a political ideology but mental pathology in Politics. We need to also pressure our leaders to call on her and her colleagues experts. Ty for your consideration.
Thanks Ben! You & everyone at Meidas have been doing an outstanding job to make sure every American knows what the Republicans are trying to do. Your video with Katie Phang introducing her to the network was so perfect for this moment. LISTEN to what people are saying & actually HEAR them and address their concerns. Something MSM refuses to do every single day. Kudos team!
I tried to attach another comment. I don't know what happened to it. I called Senator John Curtis, but even his machine is turned off. I called Senator Mike Lee and told the assistant how I felt, he laughed me off and told me 'how proud he was of this bill and Senator Lee." He dismissed my comments. I have gone back and left messages on Senator Lee's phone. Reminding him of his Oath of Office to protect the Constitution. This bill destroys the Constitution thanks to some hidden amendments in there giving Trump absolute power to do anything he wants to, and held up by the Supreme Court. The message kept cutting me off, so I kept calling back. Telling him we had fought and American Revolution to end Kings and dictators, but he was voting to install one. I called back and pointed out how Inhumane this bill is to millions of people, that it will certainly mean my death and many, many others. On the last message I left my phone number and asked Senator Lee to call me. I wanted to talk to him in person. Of course, I don't know if he'll ever get any of those messages, but I tried! I tried so hard! God help us if Trump gets what he wants. America will cease to exist.
The entire red party has made it clear: they are Nazis and intend to proceed in lock step with the Orange Tyrant. Period.
This latest unanimous vote proves it; they always fold to Cheeto in the end, even if they initially claim they're deficit hawks and won't vote for it. Witness Chip Roy, who conveniently "overslept" because he didn't have the guts to vote against it, and the other gutless wonder whose name escapes me who voted "present" knowing his vote would allow it to pass.
To Ben and ALL the Meidas podcasters. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work you do and especially all of the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes that we don't see. Every day I wake up and I ask myself what fresh hell is going to meet me today, I am so glad I found the Meidas Touch Network and I am glad to be a MEIDAS MIGHTY !
Thank you and your workers for everything that you do.
Could you please make sure to include coverage on what can be done once this Bill is passed? Such as advocacy groups offering up lawsuits to stop implementation of the cuts to Medicaid, SSI, SNAP, and Section 8.
I am on these programs and have been physically sick with worry about what I will be thrown off of. With the very little money I receive each month, losing even one program would doom me to death. I say this without dramatics, just the truth.
So if you can provide coverage or information that will help people like me know what is happening and/or what we can do to fight, I would greatly appreciate seeing it in Youtube content.
The next process in this travesty is that the Senate will get the House Bill and they will craft one of their own. So, first, keep pounding on the Senate. The DEMS are all over this all over the place educating the population on what is coming if this gets passed, or any form of it gets passed.
The next process is IF, and I suspect the "R's" in the Senate will craft something detrimental together, is to "Reconcile" the House version and the Senate version into one Bill.
Once that is done, the two Houses have to haggle over whether they are willing to pass it. Once that "reconciled" bill is passed, if it is passed, then it goes to trump and he will sign it. Then it becomes law and they start getting read to implement it.
The cuts are set to start in 2027 and 2029 so the "R's" think they can get out of taking responsibility for all the damage they are going to do to US. WE have to keep pounding on them every day - even if they are "R's" - especially if they are "R's" - and pound on the republican national committee and the republican national congressional congress. They need to know that WE are very unhappy and will vote the "R's" out of their seats.
Should this bill get passed and you expect to be impacted by it beginning in 2027, then one of your first actions to help you would be to call you Congressional leader. If that person is an "R" and won't help you, then contact Hakeem Jefferies. I suggest you call.
If that doesn't help you, you need to contact your Attorney General, the Governor, and any Ombudsman in your State - do this anyway, even if they are an "R" and they don't want to help you. There are EEO laws and discrimination laws on the books even if they do not want us to believe that and we can file complaints so we are on the books. File a complaint with every agency and organization that has a WEB form or phone number. Written complaints need to go in so they will get investigated and acted upon.
Last, but certainly NOT least - remember that you are NOT alone in this fight. You are among friends and others who are also going to be impacted by this STUPIDITY and others will stand by your side and help you out. I know this is a scary time - but we all need to stick together, to help one another and to make things happen - the larger the group of us, the more we can get done. Remember - the squeaky wheel gets the grease - so squeak and scream loud - scream often - then scream louder!!!!
Then what I would do is contact the DNC and the DNCC in my State - there is one in every state - and see what help they are offering.
Also, I would contact my "local" TV station by calling and by writing letters telling your story.
On top of that, I would put a sign in my yard, or apartment window, or on my car, or in every place I could that said "I have been damaged by my government!"
I would keep a daily journal of everything that has been happening to me - I would start that today. Conversations with friends that include what you are going through. Doctor bills, dates, and other information to present if it comes to a class action law suit. Start collecting this data now. 18 months or more of documentation from everyone that may join a class action law suit is a treasure trove to lawyers.
You can also contact the ACLU and any Legal Aid in your State to find out what they can do to help.
***
We are not helpless. We are not Victims. This isn't over! The house "R's" passing this bill is only the beginning. We have to step up our game.
My last lifeline to throw to you is to contact a DEM, even if it is in another State, maybe one close to you, and put your name in for assistance. Even though Congress is represented by District, the DEMS are reaching out to help everyone at this time.
Go … lay your head down and REST! “Well done, good and faithful servant!” Hold your wife, kiss your little one. Let things settle … we need you, but not weary and worn. It’s okay. Stop, just for a bit. You’re doing everything humanly possible, but the human part of you needs some slow deep breaths and sleep. 🙏🥹
True Ben. You did a great job. Loved the coverage. Please take a day to reflect how hard you fight and how much good you do. I can only imagine the way you feel. I am exhausted. You must be. Self care is necessary. Its gonna be a long time coming.
Thank you Ben and everyone for rapidly reporting on this regime’s actions and atrocities. The truth and knowledge are golden and you’re giving us the resources to combat the misinformation that is out there.
Hey Ben and Happy Thursday to your family and you! Please get you some rest, I know it’s easier said than done which you have several interviews in the waiting!! Ben I have been supporting in every way possible but a Sista TYDE(Tired)!!which I know we all are except for those Freakettes of that Buffoon!! The Freak (DJT) is Determined to kill us all!! Taking away everything damn thing that matters you know!! This isn’t America anymore it really isn’t!! I refuse to stop being an American despite the Hatred this Buffoon is inflicting on this country that’s why his Buffoon Ass Can’t Sleep At Night!! FDT!! Ben y’all have a Great Day and As Always Thank You for being doing this so I don’t have too!! I KNOW I JUST COULD NOT!! It takes Someone like y’all to do this and for that I Am Forever Grateful!! That’s All!!
Good morning Ben,
I believe that the Congressional Republicans will pass Trump’s big, UGLY bill without any remorse because they believe in Trump and the fascists in his administration will be able to pull off his desired elimination of our Constitution and our elections.
We will no longer have elections in which the people can vote them out. It’s obvious that the republicans know this because of their refusal to have town hall meetings because they know that their constituents are against everything in the bill.

Sadly just heard the bill passed in the House. I have little hope for the Senate. Ron Johnson is a snake and one of my Senators in Wisconsin. He wants even bigger cuts and has never supported SS.
I’m from Wisconsin also. Ron Johnson makes me ill. Didn’t like him before and I like him a whole lot less now.
I’m from Illinois and Ron Johnson makes me ill too. Along with Rick Scott from FL and Markwayne-Billybob-Joeray-Mullin from OK!
I'm from Minnesota and agree with opinions about Ron Johnson. Add Tuberville to your putrids list!
Yes, he’s the dumbest Senator on Capitol Hill!
I agree. He’s a turd.
Yet he keeps being re-elected…….
Yes, I'm from another state. But, a few years ago I heard him say that he doesn't like paying for food for other people's children...or something to that affect. That made me dislike him on the spot. What kind of person says that?
And he claims to be a CHRISTIAN!!!
That word has been thrown around a lot lately. Unfortunately, it's starting to lose it's true meaning. I don't think Jesus intended for Christians to act the way many of them in positions of power do.
Claims is the operative word. Pretty much for all evangelical christians.
I'm also from Wisconsin. I don't understand how Ron Johnson keeps getting re-elected, except to remind myself that his voter's are either ignorant or they are the same type of personality as Ron. These are people with cold, hard, black hearts & souls that only think of themselves & not their fellow man. It is your typical MAGA crowd. I am from S.E. Wisconsin, Ron Johnson's constituents are up north hillbillies.
Ron Johnson was the first one on tv denying J6, he said it was like people attending a big picnic. He also was the person responsible for getting a private plane to rush the fake elector's to Washington D.C.
I call him Russian Ron. He was one of the Russian asset’s to go to Moscow on our Independence Day in 2018 to meet with Putin. He needs voted out

Dear Representative Raul Ruiz,
I am writing to you as a deeply concerned constituent and proud American who values our Constitution, our democratic institutions, and our hard-won freedoms.
I am outraged by the recent bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 18, 2025, which, among other provisions, limits federal courts’ ability to hold government officials—including President Donald Trump—in contempt for defying court orders, and blocks courts from issuing national injunctions to prevent potentially unlawful actions by the executive branch.

Freedom of speech and judicial independence are the cornerstones of a free society. No president—past, present, or future—should be above the law or able to rule unchecked. These provisions must not stand.
I urge you to take a stand, speak out, and work to repeal these authoritarian measures and protect the democratic institutions that safeguard our liberty. History is watching—and so are your constituents.

Clarissa Bartolini Toro, American Grandma
Voter and Defender of American Democracy
Thank you Clarissa for being a great person.
I've done that. They aren't paying attention to any calls. The assistants are merely taking messages and the messages are not being forwarded.
I agree and I am so worried about the future of this country. Americans work so hard and have been robbed of the right to live a humane live.
And the Supreme Court is behind Trump 100 %!!! They will not lift a finger to stop him!
I sadly agree with you. We have lost. Trump is our dictator and he will be doing everything he can to get rid of as many of us as possible. My life is over!
Is the provision to block enforcement of contempt citations legal??? It is a direct attack on the third pillar of our government as defined in the constitution.

Hello Ben,
Thank you and your workers for everything that you do.
Could you please make sure to include coverage on what can be done once this Bill is passed? Such as advocacy groups offering up lawsuits to stop implementation of the cuts to Medicaid, SSI, SNAP, and Section 8.
I am on these programs and have been physically sick with worry about what I will be thrown off of. With the very little money I receive each month, losing even one program would doom me to death. I say this without dramatics, just the truth.
So if you can provide coverage or information that will help people like me know what is happening and/or what we can do to fight, I would greatly appreciate seeing it in Youtube content.
Thank you so very much.
The next process in this travesty is that the Senate will get the House Bill and they will craft one of their own. So, first, keep pounding on the Senate. The DEMS are all over this all over the place educating the population on what is coming if this gets passed, or any form of it gets passed.
The next process is IF, and I suspect the "R's" in the Senate will craft something detrimental together, is to "Reconcile" the House version and the Senate version into one Bill.
Once that is done, the two Houses have to haggle over whether they are willing to pass it. Once that "reconciled" bill is passed, if it is passed, then it goes to trump and he will sign it. Then it becomes law and they start getting read to implement it.
The cuts are set to start in 2027 and 2029 so the "R's" think they can get out of taking responsibility for all the damage they are going to do to US. WE have to keep pounding on them every day - even if they are "R's" - especially if they are "R's" - and pound on the republican national committee and the republican national congressional congress. They need to know that WE are very unhappy and will vote the "R's" out of their seats.
Should this bill get passed and you expect to be impacted by it beginning in 2027, then one of your first actions to help you would be to call you Congressional leader. If that person is an "R" and won't help you, then contact Hakeem Jefferies. I suggest you call.
If that doesn't help you, you need to contact your Attorney General, the Governor, and any Ombudsman in your State - do this anyway, even if they are an "R" and they don't want to help you. There are EEO laws and discrimination laws on the books even if they do not want us to believe that and we can file complaints so we are on the books. File a complaint with every agency and organization that has a WEB form or phone number. Written complaints need to go in so they will get investigated and acted upon.
Last, but certainly NOT least - remember that you are NOT alone in this fight. You are among friends and others who are also going to be impacted by this STUPIDITY and others will stand by your side and help you out. I know this is a scary time - but we all need to stick together, to help one another and to make things happen - the larger the group of us, the more we can get done. Remember - the squeaky wheel gets the grease - so squeak and scream loud - scream often - then scream louder!!!!

Then what I would do is contact the DNC and the DNCC in my State - there is one in every state - and see what help they are offering.
Also, I would contact my "local" TV station by calling and by writing letters telling your story.
On top of that, I would put a sign in my yard, or apartment window, or on my car, or in every place I could that said "I have been damaged by my government!"
I would keep a daily journal of everything that has been happening to me - I would start that today. Conversations with friends that include what you are going through. Doctor bills, dates, and other information to present if it comes to a class action law suit. Start collecting this data now. 18 months or more of documentation from everyone that may join a class action law suit is a treasure trove to lawyers.
You can also contact the ACLU and any Legal Aid in your State to find out what they can do to help.

We are not helpless. We are not Victims. This isn't over! The house "R's" passing this bill is only the beginning. We have to step up our game.
My last lifeline to throw to you is to contact a DEM, even if it is in another State, maybe one close to you, and put your name in for assistance. Even though Congress is represented by District, the DEMS are reaching out to help everyone at this time.
Go … lay your head down and REST! “Well done, good and faithful servant!” Hold your wife, kiss your little one. Let things settle … we need you, but not weary and worn. It’s okay. Stop, just for a bit. You’re doing everything humanly possible, but the human part of you needs some slow deep breaths and sleep. 🙏🥹

The Republicans passed their piece of crap through the House. And then the mainstream media treated it carefully as in what the heck is AP doing!? : https://apnews.com/article/congress-tax-cuts-trump-f2c60ae5c7c1313de69446f9ac7176e6House Republicans pass Trump's big bill of tax breaks and program cuts after all-night session
Thank you for your service in all this.
