Ukraine policy stupidity is a window of opportunity. Need Congressional Republicans to stand up. Interview senate dems.
Send them this:
Dear Mr. Solomon,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Russia is a cancerous, evil regime that threatens our national security by attempting to control as much of Europe and Eurasia as it can. It also supports the regimes in Iran, Communist China, Cuba, and Venezuela. All of them continually seek to harm the United States and force us into a position of dependence upon them for our livelihood. Vladimir Putin’s unjustifiable and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is just one more example of this fact. I believe that the United States must continue to stand strongly with Ukraine and provide the lethal military aid it needs to win this war. Putin’s murderous attacks are a threat to our national security and the security of our democratic allies.
While we must continue to support democracy in Ukraine, I will not allow Russia’s unjust invasion to deprioritize or slow progress on solving urgent domestic issues such as securing the border, fighting inflation and rebuilding our national defense. Congress can continue to act and solve these issues, which we owe to the American people.
As Florida’s U.S. Senator, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting for allies around the world, while also ensuring we take care of our families here at home. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
If they haven't stood up to oppose Hegseth, Gabbard and especially Patel and the firing of military top officials yesterday, they aren't ever going to. They'll send out letters like this one to try to appease voters while continuing to rubber stamp whatever Trump demands. Don't be taken in. Rick Scott especially is a known Medicare fraudster who should be in prison rather than the senate.
Yes, send his letter to everyone in the legislative branch. A deluge of them - constantly - will be the 2nd message - of resistance, of right vs. very wrong. This is a significant wedge, make it work for resistance - thank you Daniel.
I plan on writing Rick Scott then since I'm in FL too and let him know that we are demanding action and he needs to take action and help get him removed immediately that he is putting every American Citizen in extreme danger.
The only thing I trust pRick Scott to continue to fight for is access to our Medicare fund. He already raped Medicare once and got caught. He's been just biding his time ever since for another chance to stuff his pockets. It's disgusting that people willingly vote for obvious crooks like Scott and Trump again and again. Why!?
And in NC we have gone thru the same crap with HCA that Scott enabled in FL (and I bet he is still a major stockholder). People have died laying on gurneys in emergency dept hallways because of cost cutting. Entire depts of physicians, eg Cancer docs, have quit. The problem in WNC is we are basically a captive audience. There is very little real competition to what was once a great hospital system. Of course they knew this when they bought out Mission.
Rick Scott is a freak. Anything he writes is not to be believed. He is one of the worst US Senators in history. Rick Scott is one of the instigators of Project 2025. He sold out Democracy and Law and Order.
This is all performative, not to be so instantly shocking.
This was planned in advance, when they collected ALL the data in the battle states and battle districts needed to make whatever 'adjustments' they needed to switch the final voting.
Cyber Ninjas and others alike -- like the people who had access to the voting machines in Georgia -- can even replace ballots with all that data.
As I've taken a bit of time to consider this, I think it can't hurt to send this on as suggested. even if he doesn't back this up and is just trying to appease his constituency, he and other legislators will Have to pay attention if they begin receiving thousands of copies of this letter - especially from Florida.
Has Senator Scott actually admitted or realized that he's more afraid of handing Putin more power than he is of tRump and the republican party? If so, and this letter isn't a hoax, then about time and good for him! I know that MTN is very good at verifying what they share, I sincerely hope they haven't been hoaxed with this. I'll probably wait a day before responding as Daniel Solomon suggests.
Thank you for sharing and for suggesting we send it to our reps in Congress. All three of mine of are Republicons. Utter silence from the three of them. Dave Joyce, Congressman. Senator John Husted. and former used car salesman Senator Bernie Moreno.
Nowhere in this letter does he admit the same thing is happening right here so, when he acknowledges the coup happening under his nose, I will give him some respect.
We need to get the minions under Trump out of the way first...save him for last! Serve him up on a platter...maybe he will get the Musolini treatment by his own people
Nonsense the R's are all in this together Can't believe any of these spineless creatures
The focus should not be on the legislature anyway They are craven politicians The answer to this rogue fascist regime is not legislative, that's lost It's up to us WE THE PEOPLE!!! If Kings Trump and Musk want to take down the people's republic then come at us
I say that WE THE PEOPLE take his government down by a DEBT STRIKE On the street protests are fine but an ECONOMIC PROTEST would collapse King Trump We need to organize like we did in 1776

When I read the headline I an actually visualized Trump literally collapsing. Damn! This sounds like a real resistance coming together and we need to come together right now (I know, Beatles).
Trump only has the power we give him. He is a coward.
In elementary school I was picked on by a bully. I finally fought the bully in the schoolyard while the principal and the entire 5th grade watched. I didn’t fare well and neither did he but, he stopped picking on me.
I don't do a lot of podcasts (I prefer reading to watching vids), but I've bought a year's subscription to MT just to help give the lying liars known as Fox News a poke in the eye.
Still … a lot of work to do to restore democracy. Trump’s admin now is targeting the first amendment rights of individuals and journalists. We will keep on fighting for the truth.
Arguing past elections, past mistakes, past beliefs does absolutely nothing to support the movement or save our way of life NOW. Spreading nihilism or negativity won't fix the past and it will wear people down so they can't fix the furure. Is that the goal?
The damage and loss to our democracy are only beginning. We cannot get impatient and bored. Musk and Trump will not be giving up! It will be maddening and irritating but hope that our Constitution will hold and survive. It depends on us not Musk and Trump’s actions who have shown only signs and efforts to undermine our government system!

The one I know of starts at midnight, Feb 27th until midnight, Feb 28th. Do not buy from any major retailer or big box companies. No in store purchases, no online purchases, especially Amazon. Do not buy fast food. Stay away from car dealerships. Emergency purchases like medicine or groceries are ok but please try to buy before or after the boycott.
Thanks for bringing this up Further strikes ahead Not enough to be in the streets It's the age of technology and the internet Use it to force economic distress WE THE PEOPLE already have distress....what's a little more in the form of a recession or depression
You mean where they report it to the Government? Where the government tries to decide if the mother is "thinking" about it and press charges for murder?
Worrisome times. As a Canadian I see your country being dismantled on the daily, not to mention the unraveling of world order. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Keep up the fight 🇺🇸💪🏻🇨🇦
Every small effort adds up. Don’t count out the mighty snowflake, alone it is fragile but with others it can bring a country to a screeching halt. Ask anyone who has ever had to deal with a blizzard.
Americans I know it’s scary but Trump and his band are only human they have weaks you can take them down. As a Canadian watching I know you will get yourselfs out of this.
Yes! Keep in mind that these are just other human beings who have vulnerabilities like the rest of us. They rely on our paralysis and rule bound mentality. We have to think out of the box and get strategically creative. Endless pushback in a multiplicity of ways
But they don't have vulnerabilities like the rest of us. How many of us never have to worry about money? How many of us never have to worry about being held accountable for crimes we commit? If they did have vulnerabilities like the rest of us, we wouldn't have to "think out of the box." The box -- that is the Constitution and the other 2 branches of government -- would have already provided the means for preventing the daily dismantling of democracy. [I know: always avoid alliteration.]
Wish that this were true but it's not. I can't count the number of videos etc. where you have said Trump destroyed, collapings, wiped out etc. HE IS NOT and this is not an effective technique (says a person with zero followers to you with 4 million :) -- but know and evaluate your enemy -- he is still strong and willing to use force, deceit, and the military to enforce his views. Expose him -- show that he is for himself and nothing else and doesn't care about anything beyond his own power. But stop saying he's collapsing -- he's beginning to get exposed and people don't like what they see -- but that's far from a collapse.
Well, that's one way to look at it. Collapse is in flight and projected to be ongoing. Everything we need to know about Trump is in a grave on one of his golf courses. Everything we need to know about his 3 adult children is obvious since they don't seem to care about the gravesite of their mother.
The stock market sees something akin to collapse as of yesterday's closing numbers. Trump is a figurehead, a dunce, a tool. He is supported by Putrid and Project 2025. He is failing the mission. What I expect to see is a falling away from his delusional BS which appears to be gaining incredible speed at GOP town halls.
He and his administration is in chaos and that alone is a sign of collapse. It's happening as people are waking up to the reality they got snookered by a carnival sideshow idiot. His approval ratings along with Musk's are in the dumpster. So, from where I sit presently he appears to be in freefall--without a parachute.
I am happy to see his numbers go down, but these clickbait headlines are misleading and don’t inspire confidence. There’s still a long road ahead and the outcome is still uncertain. I don’t mean to be a downer, but this type of headline reminds me of the ones on YouTube that have had Russia in retreat for years now.
Polls and people don’t matter to them. They could care less. There has to be so much in your face fearless pushback, econ blackouts, all of it. Wish we didn’t have to pay fed tax en masse.

Ben, Brett, Jordy and the whole MTN crew, thank you for continuing to provide hope with facts and constantly reminding us that we are up to the task of peaceful resistance. Even though the opposition is loud, there are more of us than there are of them. We can walk in the streets, stay on our representatives, vote with our wallets and support Democrats in special elections
I left Amazon about six weeks ago when it was announced Bezos was contributing $1M to the sloguration. I do not want one penny of my hard-earned money trickling down to that evil idiot. No regrets for leaving Amazon. I have found love with Fandango!
I plan to buy nothing at all on Feb. 28. It’s easy. Just like Buy Nothing Day on Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) which I have observed since the 1990s.

Seems like only comments praising Meidas get "liked" by one of their gang. Do they ever "like" a comment that is critical of them? Perhaps I've just missed those . . .
Ben, guess what has come to my mind, when I've just read your words: Ben Meiselas for President! Every sentence is so powerful and encouraging! Sounds like the speech of a righteous, reliable and strong leader - a real leader! Sending much love to you across the pond! 💙
I agree. Ben does remind me of our version of Zelynski. Strong, dedicated and focused. Let's support MTN to the limits of our ability. I can't afford to join Spotify but I am doing all I can to be as supportive as I can be.
Seems like only comments praising Meidas get "liked" by one of their gang. Do they ever "like" a comment that is critical of them? Perhaps I've just missed those . . .
What in the world should there actually be to criticize if someone just does the right thing by standing up against outrageous injustice and the destruction of a democracy??!
I would like to see a more even-handed approach by Meidas. Many of the comments that are critical of their warm/fuzzy headlines are very well thought out and well written, yet I do not recall seeing one of those get a "like." If I have missed them "liking" something critical of their approach, please point that out to me. It's entirely possible I've missed those as I don't read everything Meidas posts. I am not criticizing them "liking" something; I am criticizing their promotion of only those comments that praise them. Surely they can disagree with a comment, yet still appreciate the underlying thought and analysis that went into that comment.
I am thankful to have the Midas touch. You bring me hope and encouragement to do something. Thank you for all that you do for us with your messaging and up to date news.

As a veteran I have seen what dictators do. We need to fight like hell. His shock and awe was ment to trample our spirits. Then I guarantee he is going to come back with some sort of “gift”. Such as a small amount of doge leftovers. This is ment to make us feel good about what he is doing. Look what he is doing… giving back to the people. Don’t fall for it. We are not his servants. We the People are the leaders. They work for us! Never forget that. We don’t want leftovers doled out as seen fit by a dictator. We want freedom no more no less!

Correct! Remember that the $$ they are taking came 100% - from Us, the People, and he wants to give us back 20%? It would/will never be even that much! I'd have a real struggle to exist on 20% of my Social Security.
Fight like hell how? As a veteran, you probably know that it's a waste of time and resources to do things that won't have any effect. What concrete steps do you suggest people take that will actually be effective?
Don’t be discouraged. James Madison gave us a very important tool to use freely here in the United States. Freedom of Speech, your voice is a powerful tool.
We need to show these goons that when they misuse money and power, those things will eventually desert them, and when they lose those things, that's when this renewed country will step all over them and bury them under
😂my brain read that as Trump collapsing as in like dead…. I was about to start singing no one mourns the wicked

Dear Mr. Solomon,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Russia is a cancerous, evil regime that threatens our national security by attempting to control as much of Europe and Eurasia as it can. It also supports the regimes in Iran, Communist China, Cuba, and Venezuela. All of them continually seek to harm the United States and force us into a position of dependence upon them for our livelihood. Vladimir Putin’s unjustifiable and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is just one more example of this fact. I believe that the United States must continue to stand strongly with Ukraine and provide the lethal military aid it needs to win this war. Putin’s murderous attacks are a threat to our national security and the security of our democratic allies.
While we must continue to support democracy in Ukraine, I will not allow Russia’s unjust invasion to deprioritize or slow progress on solving urgent domestic issues such as securing the border, fighting inflation and rebuilding our national defense. Congress can continue to act and solve these issues, which we owe to the American people.
As Florida’s U.S. Senator, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting for allies around the world, while also ensuring we take care of our families here at home. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

United States Senator
If they haven't stood up to oppose Hegseth, Gabbard and especially Patel and the firing of military top officials yesterday, they aren't ever going to. They'll send out letters like this one to try to appease voters while continuing to rubber stamp whatever Trump demands. Don't be taken in. Rick Scott especially is a known Medicare fraudster who should be in prison rather than the senate.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
What about the Trojan horse?
Just a fable.https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5161804-mcconnell-trump-russia-ukraine-war/
Not. Meant to teach people wisdom, so pay attention to the deeper meaning.
You never traded horses.
Is this a current letter by my senator, Prick Scott? I hope so, but he kisses djt's ass on the regular, so I wondered. Please let it be so!
The same Rick Scott who was convicted of Medicare fraud.
A crook but not charged. Doesn't mean we can't use his support.
I too thought it was fake news. As another Floridian, I’ve never known Scott to disagree with Trump. Let’s hope he’s grown some balls
I don't trust him for one minute.
Thank him!!!!~ Everone should.
Yes, send his letter to everyone in the legislative branch. A deluge of them - constantly - will be the 2nd message - of resistance, of right vs. very wrong. This is a significant wedge, make it work for resistance - thank you Daniel.

The problem in WNC is we are basically a captive audience. There is very little real competition to what was once a great hospital system. Of course they knew this when they bought out Mission.
Prick Scott is a good one. 😂
That's a slur on pricks....
He just finally sees the tide turning and is jumping ship!
It be so. Send a copy to your congressperson. Mine is a MAGAT on the House Foreign Affairs committee. Scott is the only one who had gotten back to me.
21 other senate Republicans probably feel this way but won't speak up. What does Mike Turner say?
Rick Scott is a freak. Anything he writes is not to be believed. He is one of the worst US Senators in history. Rick Scott is one of the instigators of Project 2025. He sold out Democracy and Law and Order.

Still can use it....
He forgot to mention America in that list. Still no balls yet.
I'm new to substack how can I copy this so I can share it with officials here in FL?
Can't wait to see DeSantis either not reply to my letter or a fake response because he is horrible.

Exactly!!!
And those Russian red MAGA caps worn by Mr. America first are made in China. What a dipshit.
And I read a clever anagram that "red hat" spells hatred when you flip the two words!
Quite appropriate...
Americans I know it’s scary but Trump and his band are only human they have weaks you can take them down. As a Canadian watching I know you will get yourselfs out of this.
Yes! Keep in mind that these are just other human beings who have vulnerabilities like the rest of us. They rely on our paralysis and rule bound mentality. We have to think out of the box and get strategically creative. Endless pushback in a multiplicity of ways
And expiration dates as well!!
But they don't have vulnerabilities like the rest of us. How many of us never have to worry about money? How many of us never have to worry about being held accountable for crimes we commit? If they did have vulnerabilities like the rest of us, we wouldn't have to "think out of the box." The box -- that is the Constitution and the other 2 branches of government -- would have already provided the means for preventing the daily dismantling of democracy. [I know: always avoid alliteration.]
Correct! Redress in progress.
Thank you, Ben and all of MTN! You give me hope. ❤️
Absolutely! MTN and The Meidas Mighty are medicine for the soul!
Wish that this were true but it's not. I can't count the number of videos etc. where you have said Trump destroyed, collapings, wiped out etc. HE IS NOT and this is not an effective technique (says a person with zero followers to you with 4 million :) -- but know and evaluate your enemy -- he is still strong and willing to use force, deceit, and the military to enforce his views. Expose him -- show that he is for himself and nothing else and doesn't care about anything beyond his own power. But stop saying he's collapsing -- he's beginning to get exposed and people don't like what they see -- but that's far from a collapse.
Well, that's one way to look at it. Collapse is in flight and projected to be ongoing. Everything we need to know about Trump is in a grave on one of his golf courses. Everything we need to know about his 3 adult children is obvious since they don't seem to care about the gravesite of their mother.
The stock market sees something akin to collapse as of yesterday's closing numbers. Trump is a figurehead, a dunce, a tool. He is supported by Putrid and Project 2025. He is failing the mission. What I expect to see is a falling away from his delusional BS which appears to be gaining incredible speed at GOP town halls.
He and his administration is in chaos and that alone is a sign of collapse. It's happening as people are waking up to the reality they got snookered by a carnival sideshow idiot. His approval ratings along with Musk's are in the dumpster. So, from where I sit presently he appears to be in freefall--without a parachute.
I am happy to see his numbers go down, but these clickbait headlines are misleading and don’t inspire confidence. There’s still a long road ahead and the outcome is still uncertain. I don’t mean to be a downer, but this type of headline reminds me of the ones on YouTube that have had Russia in retreat for years now.
Polls and people don’t matter to them. They could care less. There has to be so much in your face fearless pushback, econ blackouts, all of it. Wish we didn’t have to pay fed tax en masse.
Well, as a counterpoint his poll numbers are plummeting.
He has the lowest poll numbers at this point in his presidency in the history of polls.
So his support is sure collapsing, going down...down...down...
Circling the drain.
I agree about some of the jubilant headlines but something that was slumbering in an unhealthy stupor is starting to stir.
The answer to this rogue fascist regime is not legislative, that's lost It's up to us WE THE PEOPLE!!! If Kings Trump and Musk want to take down the people's republic then come at us
I say that WE THE PEOPLE take his government down by a DEBT STRIKE On the street protests are fine but an ECONOMIC PROTEST would collapse King Trump We need to organize like we did in 1776
Ben, Brett, Jordy and the whole MTN crew, thank you for continuing to provide hope with facts and constantly reminding us that we are up to the task of peaceful resistance. Even though the opposition is loud, there are more of us than there are of them. We can walk in the streets, stay on our representatives, vote with our wallets and support Democrats in special elections
Re: voting with our wallets—on Friday Feb. 28 only buy from local merchants — no Amazon, no gasoline, etc.
Let's normalize buying locally and not from big national chains as much as possible all the time. I ditched Amazon, Walmart, Target etc long ago.
Yes! I’ve decided to completely pivot away from the “convenience” trap that Amazon laid and only shop locally.
I left Amazon about six weeks ago when it was announced Bezos was contributing $1M to the sloguration. I do not want one penny of my hard-earned money trickling down to that evil idiot. No regrets for leaving Amazon. I have found love with Fandango!
Only buy bare necessities every day! Not just one day. Freeze their wallets!
How do you freeze the wallet of someone worth 393,000,000,000 USD?
I've begun not to buy from Amazon at all; I shall buy directly from the seller.
I plan to buy nothing at all on Feb. 28. It’s easy. Just like Buy Nothing Day on Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) which I have observed since the 1990s.
AMEN BROTHER!!

I can't say thank you enough. Not just to you and your brothers but to all of the people on this site who subscribe to you. We are formidable.
Seems like only comments praising Meidas get "liked" by one of their gang. Do they ever "like" a comment that is critical of them? Perhaps I've just missed those . . .
Don’t feed the troll
Ben, guess what has come to my mind, when I've just read your words: Ben Meiselas for President! Every sentence is so powerful and encouraging! Sounds like the speech of a righteous, reliable and strong leader - a real leader! Sending much love to you across the pond! 💙
I agree. Ben does remind me of our version of Zelynski. Strong, dedicated and focused. Let's support MTN to the limits of our ability. I can't afford to join Spotify but I am doing all I can to be as supportive as I can be.

What in the world should there actually be to criticize if someone just does the right thing by standing up against outrageous injustice and the destruction of a democracy??!
I would like to see a more even-handed approach by Meidas. Many of the comments that are critical of their warm/fuzzy headlines are very well thought out and well written, yet I do not recall seeing one of those get a "like." If I have missed them "liking" something critical of their approach, please point that out to me. It's entirely possible I've missed those as I don't read everything Meidas posts. I am not criticizing them "liking" something; I am criticizing their promotion of only those comments that praise them. Surely they can disagree with a comment, yet still appreciate the underlying thought and analysis that went into that comment.
I am thankful to have the Midas touch. You bring me hope and encouragement to do something. Thank you for all that you do for us with your messaging and up to date news.

As a veteran I have seen what dictators do. We need to fight like hell. His shock and awe was ment to trample our spirits. Then I guarantee he is going to come back with some sort of “gift”. Such as a small amount of doge leftovers. This is ment to make us feel good about what he is doing. Look what he is doing… giving back to the people. Don’t fall for it. We are not his servants. We the People are the leaders. They work for us! Never forget that. We don’t want leftovers doled out as seen fit by a dictator. We want freedom no more no less!
Very well said.
The scraps left over from the Doge chaos come at the cost of shredding services to our country.

Correct! Remember that the $$ they are taking came 100% - from Us, the People, and he wants to give us back 20%? It would/will never be even that much! I'd have a real struggle to exist on 20% of my Social Security.
Fight like hell how? As a veteran, you probably know that it's a waste of time and resources to do things that won't have any effect. What concrete steps do you suggest people take that will actually be effective?
Don’t be discouraged. James Madison gave us a very important tool to use freely here in the United States. Freedom of Speech, your voice is a powerful tool.
We need to show these goons that when they misuse money and power, those things will eventually desert them, and when they lose those things, that's when this renewed country will step all over them and bury them under
