Love the response since NBC, ABC, and CBS are not doing much of anything. Ben, when in the world do you sleep? You do two shows with your brothers, a show with Popock, videos all day, and you teach law school.

And we need to let those news networks what we think of them. I don't know if they care about losing viewers or getting any back but at least we can tell them what we think of them. I'd like to think there are still a few news anchors or what ever they like to call themselves that deep in their hearts still want to be journalists rather than mere actors that are too sheepish to call out trump and who even praise their co worker who publishes a book about Biden while they all ignore trump's cognitive decline and inability to speak in complete sentences and even make one a good economic decision... as someone said Biden covered up health concerns with four years of a booming economy, expanding rights, recognizing Native American culture, showing kindness to all, having the respect of the entire world). But I don't think there are any of those kinds of news anchors anymore except Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes

At the same time that he looks crazy, Trump's raking it in at taxpayer expense. He and his families have allegedly made billiions since the election.

As he "bargains" over tariffs, new Trump properties pop up.Beyond alleged violations of the emoulments clause is the potential theft of the entire national treasury.

I hope that the Dems are tracking TrumpтАЩs financial activities on a daily basis.

I wonder whether a public financial reporting service, a hedge fund, a mutual fund or an ETF tracks Trump's daily actions and invests accordingly.

If so, let the rest of us knowтАжтАж

So sad that not one Republican member of Congress cares about any of this..indeed they support it. I can't imagine that every single one of them is somehow getting a piece of the pie but maybe so.

I'm sure some are losers. Check out cow country -- almost all of the Congressional Republicans have lost their markets, prices dropped, government subsidies ended, etc. When SNAP is cut, the farmers who supply it lose bigly. Medicaid cuts will kill hospitals, devistate rural economies.

Members who trade have to file reports every month.

There are rural midwest areas whose hospitals having been closing for years and the drive for medical care is absurd. The repuglicans there do not care.Check out Jess Pipers substack and you will get full details on what she is trying to do as democrat. She explains the issues and how long it has been going on

Well said, and good advice! I'm in south central Missouri, the poorest district in the state and my congressman loves the entire trump agenda and does not care about the rural hospitals (I think he only lost one the last time trump was in power but may be more this time) Jess Piper is great! Also Michele Hornish and her small deeds emails as well as their Blue Missouri group.

That is an interesting thought about the Republicans in cow country and other farmers. Also I think I saw an interview where a GOP Senator or Congressman from maybe Wisconsin or Minnesota was sort of pleading with Canada to stop their boycott of the US and start sending his state energy again. As seems to be so typical of Republicans, he didn't get that this is not a boycott, that other nations are making deal with each other and are never coming back to the US in the magnitude they did before trump. A boycott I think implies once the situation is changed or rectified things go back to how they were. Likewise with Target. I think no matter what they do (which I don't think they are doing anything about their DEI policies) a lot of previous customers are just not going to go back.

Mike Johnson knows nothing about it. If he keeps himself ignorant, he doesn't feel any pressure to do anything.

I hope someone is somehow keeping a record/video of all the times Mike Johnson says in an interview I don't know anything about that...along with how many times Susan Collins says something like "That's concerning" and then votes however trump tells her to.

These aren't Democrats. They're Republicans and if they object, they may get to keep their seats, come the revolution.

I only keep cable right now to have my news channels, they past few weeks have been very disappointing and they have me questioning if I need or want to keep it much longer. The mainstream media better get it together soon, or I'm out.

I am already getting the majority of my news from independent media, I love it.

IтАЩve been watching so much less MSNBC lately, especially since they got rid of Joy Reid. All of the great journalists are here on Substack.

Yup, I will have it on in that background, but most of their journalists have rolled over. Morning Joe has become even more of a joke than it always has been.
