I recorded bombshell interview with Congressman Dan Goldman, and he’s demanding answers to the questions we have all been asking. Goldman, a former federal prosecutor and current Democratic member of Congress, sent a scathing demand to Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi, asking her if she is orchestrating a cover-up to protect Donald Trump from potential fallout over the Jeffrey Epstein files. We broke the story exclusively on MeidasTouch, and what Goldman laid out shows why he and so many are suspicious of the DOJ’s latest moves. He details a timeline filled with missed deadlines and shady MAGA influencer stunts at the White House. Not to mention a new, bizarre undercover video where Bondi quietly claims there are tens of thousands of videos of child exploitation—something she never told the public.
So why is Bondi saying this to an undercover nanny rather than Congress? Why has the full Epstein file release suddenly gone dark? And most importantly: what is Trump so desperate to hide? We have some ideas…
By the way, we’ve exclusively obtained Congressman Goldman’s demand to Attorney General Pam Bondi. You can download it here:
Goldman connects the dots between Trump’s longstanding ties to Epstein, his presence in flight logs, his praise of Epstein, and his silence now. And just when you think the corruption couldn't get worse, Goldman slams Trump for accepting a $400 million private jet from Qatar—greenlit by none other than Pam Bondi, a former paid lobbyist for the Qatari government. This isn’t just unethical—in our opinion, it’s flat-out criminal. Goldman is right: this isn’t something we can wait until 2027 to investigate. Republicans in Congress must stop shielding Trump and do their constitutional duty now.

Arrest Bondi for perjury and obstruction!
What is this weird auto-bot advertisement response on every single comment?
He can be kept from having the plane if those who can do it will stop him. No way he should be able to have it. And, Bill Clinton was impeached (not successfully) not for anything sexual, but for lying to Congress. How many times does the felon and his junk drawer get to with no consequences?
We can defeat this as democracy matters
Pam Bondi should be held accountable and lose her license to practice law.
Good point, Clinton is a saint compared to the swamp swindler creature, Trump.
We can as I was raised to not see America going this way. I knew when he wanted to run again because he is trying to cover up his past. I have a photo on my phone
There needs to be plenty of arrests as well as why didn’t the FBI raid Epstein’s other properties? What about the Virgin Islands court documents? Elon Musk? Etc?
Good luck getting anything from Kash Patel, to investigate Trump. Bondi, or Patel!
Keep uncovering, and reporting on the corruption, lies, coverups, and criminal activity of this administration, and especially our president. The Republican Party is complicit in the entire criminal enterprise!
Thanks for this excellent interview with Rep. Dan Goldman, one of the sanest and most competent members of Congress. Thank you for your service, Mr. Goldman!
i am not in any way a Trump fan but Goldman going down this rabbit hole with just circumstantial evidence makes us look as bad as MAGA.
Goldman: “In Feb, Bondi promised she’d release the full Epstein Files immediately. 74 days later, and she hasn’t released them or explained why. People are asking if she’s covering for Trump? I’m demanding answers to determine if she's betraying her promise at Trump's direction.”
The reason he's doing that is exactly what Amber Yarger sez. The MAGAs think the files will implicate Clinton and other Dems, but we KNOW Numbnuts will be implicated, and Epstein's highly suspicious death took place while he was the president and Bill Barr was his Atty. General. This needs to be investigated and is no small matter. Convictions are often based solely on circumstantial evidence.
Actually, I think it helps incite angst in their party. There are some rabid MAGA conspiratoirialists that foam at the mouth about Epstein. They are already livid with Kash Patel and Pam Bondi about this. I think anywhere we can sow derision amongst their followers, we should be doing it.
If they have nothing to hide, why is the full Epstein file not released?
Pam Bondi will end up in prison.
HOPEFULLY, WITH TRUMP, MUSK, AND TRUMP’S CURRENT ADMINISTRATION!!!
As every single one of his former lawyers from his silly first term around the courthouse, Bondi and possibly Stevie Miller will have a spot in prison UNLESS he pardons them IF he lives that long.
Big if.
Thew Dictator Criminal Deranged Psycho WILL DEFINITELY PARDON HIM. Look what he did to the 1/6 revolutionaries. Pardoned ALL those criminals for that HUGE riot.
These people are not nice, today I got a call to help and since I am at home a lot I will help defeat fascism
I’m so sick of reading something new every single day about these corrupt, law breaking assholes. I truly hope that somebody somewhere along the way made an extra copy or two of these Epstein files.
Someone did. They are currently in Russia having been honey trapped. Read https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/635379/american-kompromat-by-craig-unger/
Trump did a lot of catch and kill stories on himself in 2015-2016 campaign. Of course, she is redacting shit about Trump on all this info.
A lot of that was abetted by David Pecker (ahem) @ The National Enquirer, which isn't an issue today, when countless maggot social media take up that slack
Someone has to get off their arse and do something. Why aren’t they? Surely not all republicans are that crooked? I’m in, who’s with me?
Trump fired a great deal of republicans (or they quit) who would stand up to him and replaced them with his MAGAs and sycophants. Some have been threatened that their careers would be over or their and their family’s safety have been threatened. Many republicans have bought into Project 2025, Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin’s dark ideology to end democracy. So there are a slew of reasons why we won’t get much from the Republicans.
You seem taken aback at your basic assumption that all Republicans ARE that crooked.
They mostly all are liars and crooks!
Dan Goldman is right
After seeing this today I wrote a scathing letter to both of my Senators and my House of Representative. See below:
DO YOUR JOB!
DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. YOU TOOK AN OATH OF OFFICE TO DEFEND IT WHEN YOU WERE SWORN IN. DONALD TRUMP IS DENIGRATING AND USURPING ALL OF THE POWERS OF CONGRESS AND YOU ARE LETTING HIM. THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE WILL BECOME (ARE) PUPPETS OF THE PRESIDENT (WANNA BE KING).
ALLOWING DONALD TRUMP TO ACCEPT A $400,000,000.00 (THAT’S FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS if you can’t count that high) 747-8 “FLYING PALACE” TO REPLACE AIR FORCE ONE, AND HE GETS TO KEEP IT (since a presidential library does not fly)????
If you could not tell from the all caps that I am furious with the way Congress has allowed as much corruption, pandemonium, and chaos to occur in less than 4 months of this presidency, let me categorically state:
I AM FURIOUS!
Again:
DO YOUR JOB! If any other president had done any of the illegal, ridiculous and off the wall actions that Donald Trump has perpetrated, they would have been removed after the first one.
Jessie Anderson
Thank you !!! You are 100% correct!
CORRUPTION and I still think someone had Epstein killed to look like suicide.
It’s a real possibility. But will it end up a cold case like JFK?!
No doubt, while we give them all the time in the effing world to stall---this time until DJT takes over with his military and all the lawyers and Congressmen who have threatened the SWINE have been executed. I certainly have no hope left that anything will be done about this or any other corruption by DJt and his sychophants.
I wonder who that someone could be. I have believed from the moment I heard of his death that his old buddy, DJT, engineered the whole thing, i.e., had the freak murdered so he could not tell all about Trump. Trump was a hotshot at the time, and they were bosom buddies. Are we supposed to believe that Rump did not rape little 13-year-old girls with Epstein? Hell, a few of them have even come forward and said he did, and provided some details of the experience. Seems they have disappeared, too, and one has committed "suicide." Yeah, right. Just like Epstein.
How much do they get away with, that's against the law, that the law can't put them in jail. What is Rule of Law if we can't put them away?
NOTHING. All the Dems have done is mouth the words, "rule of law." While allowing a candidate and then a president to break every law known to man, including incest, child abuse and murder WITH IMPUNITY. We apparently have no rules or laws that cannot be broken if you are rich or well-known enough to flaunt them. And don't quote the SC ruling about Presidential Immunity to me! because this son of a bitch had committed enough crimes before that ruling to have been executed a few times over for the sheer number of his crimes, nevermind their historical, political, economic and social effect upon the nation and the world. We have no rule of law, no JUSTICE system, no constitution as long as Donald J. Trump continues to flaunt them with impunity. All we have is a system of punishments for trumpty dumpty's enemies.
You cannot blame the Democrats! What else can they do when they are in the minority? Now you know why so many of us kept saying to VOTE BLUE straight down the ballot!
I was blaming them for their lack of decisive action WHEN THEY WERE IN POWER. We had the executive and the legislative branches of government! ALong with a do-nothing DOJ head. But I know full well the necessity of voting Blue in the mid-terms and thereafter, if we are going to stand a chance of saving our country from the Nazis. I am one of those who kept saying "VOTE BLUE STRAIGHT DOWN THE BALLOT." I also say we've got to have stronger, MEANER candidates if we're going to salvage our democracy out of the shambles the Repugnants have made of it!
Thank you !!! Keep on fighting! ✊
Pervasive and massive political corruption is just the business as usual in our failed state and it will be years, if ever, we can get back on the right track of policies not bought and sold to the highest bidder.
Some of us don't have years to wait & others have no intention of doing so. The one thing clear in the last election is that things need to change. Now.
"If ever" being the operative words here.
Why doesn’t someone in the previous administration have some idea what is in those files. Or better yet, a copy.
You think that letter will achieve anything? The GOP's method of dealing with problems and awkward questions seems to be DEI -"Deny, Evade, Ignore. . ."
Still have to do it, everything possible to do the right thing.
Doing everything possible would include shooting the son of a bitch between his lizard eyes, but nobody has done that yet!
Dan Goldman — Thank you for keeping us all alert to the fact that we really can’t wait to simply vote for the right people. We might lose the right to habeus corpus by fall, FFS! Please keep hammering away at this Epstein info. I think we all know what’s in it.
I think we all can image what's in those files.
So why the hell did the Biden admin not release ALL the goddamn files? Every single one.
Garland
How do you take ANY member of the government to task - when it seems we have no government at all, Republican or Democrat.
These criminals are not very smart. They've just been given a pass so long they've become complacent. I lay all this at Garlands feet.
Pam Bondi better get a lawyer.
I blame that pussy ass Garland for all this shit if he wouldve had any balls, Tchump wouldve been in an orange jumpsuit!
Gifted air palace? Used instead of Air Force One? What about national security? Beyond the gold gaudiness, what about potential monitoring by spy equipment serendipitously built in by the wily donor? What about administration staff and accompanying press safety? Not to mention the outlandish corruption on the part of this current pres - er -absentident (he who shall not be named)?
The Pentagon says the outdated old piece of gaudy junk will have to be stripped DOWN TO THE BOLTS in order to retrofit it as an Air Force One. WHich will cost us taxpayers HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, NOT TO MENTION THE BILLIONS THAT MAINTENANCE OF THE LUXURY WHORELINER will cost us over time. Qatar pawned this piece of shit off on the SWINE because they know that he is mesmerized by the glitter of GOLD. BIG FAT OLD LIZARD.
Anyway, give a little credit to our intelligence teams when it comes to discovering "spy equipment built into" the stinking plane, expecially as it has to be stripped down to install our own special communications, etc. equipment. These damn planes are built to deflect missile attacks, for God's sake. And they are practically crash-survivable. That's why it will cost hundreds of millions to turn Trumpty Dumpty's golden sky liner into an Air Force One. AND THEN HE GETS TO KEEP IT WHEN/IF HE LEAVES OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????? JESUS CHRIST, WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH??????????????????????????????
Beware the fourth branch of government: taxpaying citizens! Go get ‘em MeidasTouch!
'"Truck drivers don’t think so': Trump scorched as he insists empty ports a 'good thing'."
Donald Trump is facing backlash after claiming that a sharp decline in port traffic—and a significant drop in goods entering the U.S.—is actually a positive development. When warned that the slowdown could cost truckers and dock workers their paychecks or even their jobs, Trump praised the downturn, arguing it means the country isn’t “losing money.”
“That means we lose less money, you know?” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “When I see that, that means we lose less money. Look, China was making over a trillion, $1.1 trillion, in my opinion. You know, different numbers from $500 billion to a trillion or a trillion, I think it was 1.1 trillion. And frankly, if we didn’t do business, we would have been better off.” (Continued)

Keep kicking ass, Ben.
Trump and his administration are NEVER going to let the Epstein files, tapes, recordings, interviews, and witnesses go public. Why would he? He's in and all over the evidence.
"Judge Blocks Trump’s Unconstitutional Reorganization of Government."
In a major victory for AFGE and allies, a district court judge May 9 issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking Trump’s unconstitutional reorganization of the federal government, because these plans “flow from likely illegal directives.”
Judge Susan Illston agreed with AFGE and allies’ argument that the administration exceeded its authority in implementing its large-scale reductions in force (RIFs), without consulting Congress, which created and funds these agencies through legislation.
“The President has the authority to seek changes to executive branch agencies, but he must do so in lawful ways and, in the case of large-scale reorganizations, with the cooperation of the legislative branch,” said the judge.
“Many presidents have sought this cooperation before; many iterations of Congress have provided it. Nothing prevents the President from requesting this cooperation—as he did in his prior term of office.
Indeed, the Court holds the President likely must request Congressional cooperation to order the changes he seeks and thus issues a temporary restraining order to pause large-scale reductions in force in the meantime.” (Continued)

I have a picture of this on my phone
A picture of what?
A picture of Garland leaking? Of Bondi sacrificing a goat in a satanic ritual? What?
Ban Bondi was bought off by
Trump during bogus Trump University which was complete Bullshit.
TrUMP IS SO, SO VERY, VERY DISGUSTING AND CLEARLY DEMENTED. Who can't see that? He's utterly disgusting and a grifter.
It seems fairly clear to me that references to Trump's relationship with J. Epstein could be found to be not only financial but sexual. Trump has been accused of rape, and it would not be surprising to discover his pedophilic raping of children during his visits to the Epstein home. It would not be surprising to learn the Epstein was murdered in jail in order to cover up the sexual exploits of men like Trump. Itis too bad that this nation has so many cowards and sycophantic bootlickers in law enforcement.
Bondi should be stripped of her position and thrown in jail for obstruction and tampering with known evidence.this deuch bag needs to be bagged and tagged and everyone knows he's dirty and not so mysterious that he's dead .
"We’re Not Living in Normal Times."
(Aaron Parnas,
May 12, 2025)
Over the past four months, the Trump administration has overwhelmed the public with a relentless stream of information—far more than anyone can realistically process.
As an independent journalist, I’ve struggled to cut through the noise to bring you accurate, timely updates. Then I came across a video of Steve Bannon, Trump’s former senior advisor, explaining his “flood the zone with sh*t” strategy. Suddenly, everything made sense.
This isn’t accidental. It’s a deliberate tactic. (Continued)

Pam Bondi Trumps whore personal attorney
WHY ARE MAGA CLOWNS SUDDENLY OUTRAGED AFTER ALL OF TRUMP'S LIES?
MAXWELL was connected with INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, died a sudden death - was EPSTEIN'S organization just an expansion of MAXWELL's actions?
There were too many hands involved in the EPSTEIN COVER-UP & too many ask the wrong questions. One of the courts involved in the VICTIMS' SETTLEMENTS has impounded all of the evidence. Who's challenging that court? What did JPMORGAN CHASE cover-up? THEY KNEW!
Who was paying EPSTEIN?
Does PUTIN have EPSTEIN'S TAPES?
When EPSTEIN's ISLAND was cleaned out, one of the photos made public was a little female kid, bound, gagged & blindfolded waiting to be sexually assaulted by these perverts.
CRAIG UNGER wrote well researched books that included MAXWELL & EPSTEIN, available at your public library.
excerpt:
• How the Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking operation provided a source and marketplace for sexual kompromat.
• How the Epstein-Maxwell ring helped enable young women with possible ties to Russian intelligence to gain access to the highest levels of Silicon Valley and the worlds of artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and the internet. This, at a time when Vladimir Putin has asserted, “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere [artificial intelligence] will become the ruler of the world.”
• How John Mark Dougan, a former deputy sheriff in Mar-a-Lago’s Palm Beach County, says he acquired 478 videos confiscated from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, fled to Moscow, became only the fourth American to win asylum in Russia, and immediately gained access to Putin’s inner circle, showing the ongoing power that comes from kompromat and how its value is highest before it is “used.”
JPMORGAN CHASE knew what EPSTEIN was doing & failed to report, just as they did with BERNIE MADOFF.
JPMORGAN CHASE settled lawsuits in MANHATTAN & the VIRGIN ISLANDS & those documents should be made PUBLIC, as well as the SOURCES of EPSTEIN'S $$$$! One could speculate that there are a lot of intelligence sources, maybe money laundering, maybe extortion.
Looks like another "catch and kill" effort is underway.
Hey, is Barbara a bot with all this scheiss "she's" posting?
The men who corrupted young girls are lower than sewer rats . ( apologies to sewer rats) The Epstein files will come out sometime. Keep picking away at this running sore. 🙂💙
There is no way this DOJ or FBI will every release any info except for on its enemies
Of course Bondi is covering up. No Epstein files, tax returns, health records..who IS this Donald J Trump?
Goldman, his last statement was a PLEA to Meidas, he knows the dems are currently powerless
Wasn’t it Trump & Musk that kept saying that anything could be hacked? I always figured that not only was linked to the elections but also all of the Epstein stuff along with who knows what else.
It is apparent that Trump and his Administration's "two weeks" as the answer for every WHEN asked by the pross or anyone else must be their conclusion for "How long does it take America to move on to the next issue (how long is America's attention span)?
It isn't just their covering up fir the president that's taking so much time. It's the EDITING they're doing to ADD or EMPHASIZE ANY MENTIONS of THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES so as to use the release of these files as a POLITICAL WEAPON FOR THE MIDTERMS & BEYOND.
The congressional cowards are still terrified of Trump and his inaptly named "Truth" social. But it can't be much longer when survival instincts kick in and they realize he's leading the entire party to purgatory, with time until the mid-terms getting shorter each day! When their phony-baloney jobs are threatened, the knives will come out!
I look forward to accountability under the letter and under the spirit of the laws of the United States’ Constitution of all the metaphorical “rats” and traitors who have defiled our once-great country since or prior to 2014. Thanks to MEIDAS for keeping the searchlight shining brightly on the cowards and criminals. Thanks to Dan Goldman for showing the spine and patriotism that few have had in these dark days.
Dan Goldman would make a great president!
I wake up everyday Hoping for the Breaking News ……….. These corrupt people need severe punishment.

"'Hot mess': Expert says Supreme Court has 'strongest' case possible to rule against Trump."
The Supreme Court is about to hear a case that will give its justices one of the "strongest" reasons to rule against the Trump administration, a former prosecutor said Sunday.
Ex-federal prosecutor Joyce Vance over the weekend previewed the case's upcoming hearing, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday. The issue at hand, according to Vance, "is whether a district judge can issue an injunction that takes effect nationwide, or whether their decision is only applicable within their judicial district, or even limited just to the parties in front of them."She noted that "the issue here is a legal one that should transcend politics, one that is about legal principles and drawing lines as opposed to a results-oriented ruling that says nationwide injunctions are okay so long as whoever is making the decisions is happy with the outcome." (Continued)

Loved this interview
Great interview!
Ask him why he’s on the AIPAC payroll and silences all those who call out the Israeli GENOCIDE?
I have a picture on my phone that I will share
@teresa Johnson please share the picture already or stop bringing it up.
Release the full Epstein files with the identity of the children redacted. Let the chips fall where they may. If there is improper behavior (child trafficking, statutory rape, etc.,) by ANY famous individual, it’s time to hold them responsible to the full extent of the law. Throw the book at them.
Why in Christ's name is Goldman, et al, allowing the DOJ to stall so goddamn long that every single video, etc. of Trump will be, probably already has been, deleted? THIS IS WHAT IS MAKING US ALL SO MAD---that Dems always wait and wait and wait and ALLOW TRUMP to stall until either all evidence has been removed, or the case simply fades away, out of memory, beyond recall. Like, for example, until he runs for and wins another election to the WH! JESUS! We are tired of this crap!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump has been in every third pic released of Epstein. I suspect he partook often. He is not one to say no to free teenagers.
I keep wondering how many Republican representatives are involved in the Epstein affairs, and if that is why they’re not pushing for this investigation, and why they suck up to Trump so much!
Why the previous administration did not try and release this? They had four years to do this. Maybe this would have caused DJT to not run again and win again.
Krasnov did NOT win, musk rigged the -24 election FRAUD!
Meida Brothers, please keep on sharing and telling us the truth. Love you brothers.

(Written and Researched by AI)
Also don't forget that someone pressured Alex Acosta to lower the charges on Epstein in 2007 and Acosta was later "paid back" by being nominated as Secretary of Labor in 2017 by Trump.
The Virgin Islands Investigation cites 70 victims after 2007, but several survivors—including Maria Farmer, Virginia Giuffre, and others—testified that Epstein sometimes raped or abused up to three girls a day. This figure came from observations inside his homes, particularly in Palm Beach and Manhattan, and was consistent over years.
Girls were often scheduled like appointments, with one survivor saying there was a "massage" scheduled every hour. Many victims were underage, some as young as 12 to 14 years old. Epstein relied on a network of recruiters—other victims or staff members—who brought in new girls continually.
If Epstein assaulted 3 girls a day:
Over 1 year: 1,000+ victims
Over a decade (2007–2019): potentially more than 10,000 assaults
This doesn't mean 10,000 different girls—but it does suggest:
Hundreds of victims, many abused repeatedly, often daily.
A scale of abuse that’s more akin to organized criminal trafficking than “individual misconduct.”
This claim underscores how Epstein continued abusing after his 2008 plea deal—with no serious interference from authorities.It reveals the failure of the justice system, which let him keep abusing girls for more than a decade after being labeled a sex offender.
That means that whoever encouraged Acosta to lower the charges on Epstein is morally and ethically responsible for the rapes of thousands of underage girls. Once again, who called or pressured Acosta to lower the charges? Was it the same person who paid him back with a high level appointment in 2017?
And here I thought Barr was a crooked SOB!
The victims will haunt them forever, cursed by the suffering all the victims endured at the hands of the perpetrators.
Pam Bondi is cursed, enabling this, may they rot
Hell is forever for all of them. They should be afraid of that constitution!
Let's help that along, the perpetrators knowing the consequences of their actions in this lifetime.

It's so hard to listen to all the corruption from the Republican Administration. WHAT the heck are you doing to challenge this???
Question....
Could Joe Biden have authorized release of everything 'Epstein'? And, if so....
How come he didn't?
If he could and he didn't, it would be a case of him playing Joe Biden, good guy Democrat, don't you think? You know---if they go low, we go high---that kind of crap. One thing I have discovered is absolutely true is that "Nice guys finish last." Because the bad guys use the principles of the good guys against them, as the MAGA REPUGNANTS use our laws against us "good-guy Dems." It's a nauseating spectacle. And it's causing the good guys to begin to plot revenge like bad guys. There will be blood.
Someone’s comment above said President Biden was stopped by Garland.
So, do we know 100% that Biden *tried* to release the whole of the Epstein files....unredacted? But Merrick Garland blocked him? Did Garland have the right to do that over the POTUS? 🤔
The constitution is set up with checks and balances, even over a POTUS, to avoid a dictatorship and the horrible things that are going on now with Project 2025 trying to our destroy democracy.
Thanks, Deborah.
Idk I just repeated what someone had posted. They didn’t go into detail.
I think that Coop was being sarcastic---thanking you for stating the obvious. And don't worry. WE know the details of "Project 2025 trying to destroy our democracy." We're watching it happen every day (she said, as kindly and quietly as possible).
Yes he definitely was being sarcastic. I didn’t bother answering.

A recent protest at an ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, has sparked a heated political response—culminating in comparisons to 9/11 by a senior Trump administration official.

According to Baraka’s office, the goal was to examine conditions inside the center and raise concerns over immigration enforcement practices. (Continued)

"Unparalleled corruption is everywhere."
(Steve Schmidt,
May 12, 2025)
There are few countries in the world that are more despicable than Qatar, the long-time hosts of Hamas. That’s why it makes sense that they would try to use their oil riches in an attempt to bribe the greatest scumbag ever to serve as president of the United States, with a $400 million-dollar 747-B designed as a “palace in the sky.”
Air Force One isn’t good enough for Donald Trump. He wants to bring his low-rent pimp aesthetic from the ground to the clouds. (Continued)

'"My heart aches': GOP quietly unveils major Medicaid plan, 'under cover of night'."
House Republicans late Sunday unveiled legislation that analysts said would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans — including children and people with disabilities — to help fund tax breaks that would disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
The bill text released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee is a section of the sprawling budget reconciliation package that Republicans are hoping to complete as soon as Memorial Day.
The legislation includes major changes to Medicaid that, if enacted, would kick millions from the program, including work requirements for some enrollees and new payment mandates for adults living above 100% of the federal poverty level — which, for a single individual, is $15,650 in annual income for 2025.
A snap analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the healthcare section of the new Republican bill would cut spending by at least $715 billion over the next decade, and leave at least 8.6 million more people without insurance.

"Trump snub leaves huge voting bloc furious — and essential ally in 'total panic."
Donald Trump is visiting three Middle Eastern countries this week, but one he’s left out has an extremely powerful voting bloc furious.
Trump and his entourage will make stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Israel is not on the list.
The New York Times reported it was not the first time Trump has been seen as sidelining Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The perceived snub followed a truce the president announced with Yemen-based Houthi rebels,0 which did not involve Israel. Just days later, Trump was said to be considering a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia — again without making preconditions involving that nation’s relationship with Israel, the Times reported.

'"Makes my skin want to turn inside out': John Oliver grossed out by 'creepy' Trump comment."
HBO's John Oliver highlighted Donald Trump's comments about young girls Sunday night — and called them skin-crawling.
The president tried to justify his tariffs last week by arguing that girls might be forced to settle for “two dolls instead of 30 dolls" because they might "cost a couple of bucks more. But the "Last Week Tonight" host pointed to one particular comment that “makes my skin want to turn inside out."
“What a very weird thing to say,” Oliver said. “It’s just another snapshot in the chaos album that is Trump having anything to do with children.”
Trump defended his comments in an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press" by describing a hypothetical 11-year-old as "a beautiful baby girl," which Oliver found bizarre.
“Don’t call an 11-year-old that," Oliver said. "First of all, it’s creepy, and second, I promise: You call an 11-year-old girl a baby, she’ll ... kill you. Also… everyone knows the breakdown of what people play with by age goes, blocks from ages 1-3, dolls from ages 3-7, and our phones from ages 8 until we die.” (Continued)

I noticed that "beautiful" adjective attached to the "baby girl", too, and knowing the image that was in his sick skull that prompted it, made me mad enough to kill. If I were in the room I think I would have jumped on him and tried to punch his eyes out with my thumbs. To HELL with the SS. Let them shoot me off that piece of SLIME. He is a swinish child molester who started screwing his own BABY GIRL, TIFFANY, when she was TWELVE! Who raped at least 50 child prisoners of Epstein! That's how many came forward a few years ago and said he did, recounting details that enrage me beyond any rage you can imagine. They have all mysteriously disappeared. Anybody notice? The only death suitable for this HOG is being burned alive, in front of cameras from all over the world, and a crowd of paying spectators. We could pay off the national debt with the money you'd earn from the sale of tickets to watch the greasy pig burn.
"Trump spills details about 'one of the most consequential orders in our country's history'."
Donald Trump on Sunday released the details of what he has said is one of the most important orders ever issued.
Trump over the weekend took to Truth Social to tease the announcement, which he described as one of the "most important and impactful."
A few hours later, Trump dropped the details.

It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer," Trump wrote.

We don’t fall for the distractions here at the MeidasTouch Network, or the obvious traps that try to pit pro-democracy voices against each other. That’s one of the keys to our success and growth.
I see too many good people who are too focused right now on pointing fingers about the 2024 election and about messaging and branding—looking back and pointing fingers—that they are forgetting, fundamentally, that politics is about people.
We shouldn’t think about cooking up “political brands” in a lab to try and connect with people.

HUGE BIGGLY cover up
So dems had the senate, DOJ and the presidency and the Jeff/trump files remained closed. Hoping republicans will tell the truth is a fool's errand. Where were dems outrage in 2024? This is why dems lose...
Okay, isn't the law specific and why are the people involved NOT taken into custody? Or is this just another "Al Capone's vault?" C'mon, who will take up the case or does it need to go to the Grand Jury now?
I’m not a betting person , for sure I’d bet there’s something in Epstein’s file about tRump!
I know Trump’s name is on the list. The Step father of one of the 14 year old girls that he molested came forward on FaceBook and directly accused Trump of having molested her and had one of his henchmen kill her when she was 19 years old and after she reported the rape to local police. The stepfather is a choufer for a limousine company here in Dallas, TX. Trump threatened the life of the stepfather after getting him alone in his limousine holding a “gold pistol” to the back of his head. The clip was deleted off of FB by Zuck but I saw it in its entirety. Once you see it you can not unsee it.
Trump is guilty of raping Epstein minor girls and is on the list. Not only that but threatened this man that if he went to the authorities he would be killed. His stepdaughter finally went forward and reported it a few years after the rape but was found dead with a bullet to the back of her head. The death was ruled a “suicide” but the stepfather knows that Trump was responsible for having his henchmen kill her.
The Trump Regime is delaying the release of the Epstein Files BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE IS AS GUILTY AS FUCK! I witnessed the post made by the victim’s stepfather where he told EVERYTHING.
Rep. Goldman is among my favorites. Can count on him to stand up to the tRUMP Regime! If only some “Republicans” would grow a spine we could easily rid our government of the horrors he/they have inflicted on the American People and our country!
They’ve been shredded. Don’t be ridiculous ‼️
And why haven’t we prosecuted the Clintons for their crimes, and prosecuted Obama for his crimes, and the Biden crime family for their stealing and perversions. Oh, they are Democrats and it’s alright for them. Fuck you
Trump was cruising that island every weekend for years.
I think we know whats in the files on Ebstin. We know Trump is in the files. I bet his name is all over those files, that is the reason he doesn't want these files out.

It turns out that a lot of religious groups aren’t all that interested in Donald Trump’s plan to create a white ethnostate, by barring certain refugees from entering the country.
Trump signed an executive order banning refugees on Day 1, but now he’s created what is basically an affirmative action program for white South Africans, opening U.S. doors for them and only them. Now, the ostensibly oppressed Afrikaners have landed in Washington, D.C., a mere three months after Trump decided that they’re the most persecuted people on Earth. (Continued)

"Your tax dollars are being wasted on Trump's bogus deportation flights."
The American taxpayers have paid out at least $21 million to transport migrants to the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, between Jan. 20 (Donald Trump’s first day in office) and April 8. The information on the project, initiated by Trump, was released to Congress by U.S. Transportation Command, known asTRANSCOM.
Currently there are 32 migrants being held at the facility, notorious as a detention site for suspected members of the al-Qaida terrorist network, and the Taliban extremists of Afghanistan. The facility has held under 500 prisoners in total and never more than a maximum of 200. (Continued)

"Trump's treason has just one thing blocking its path — and it's taking a battering."
On Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts, in a not-so-veiled swipe at Donald Trump, stressed that the U.S. Constitution’s “main innovation” was the creation of an independent judiciary.
Our constitutional system of government only works, he emphasized, if power shared between the three branches of federal government remains equal and balanced, and it is up to the courts, not Trump, to decide what makes it so.
Roberts’ remarks followed the Trump regime’s astonishing flurry of attacks against the judiciary. On April 25, Attorney General Pam Bondi called judges who refused to legitimize Trump’s power grabs “deranged,” then, with characteristic bombast, warned the judiciary, “we will come after you and we will prosecute you.”
That same day, Kash Patel had a Wisconsin judge perp-walked out of the courthouse in handcuffs, because she allowed a defendant to exit from a side door to the main hall where everyone else, including the FBI, was waiting.
Three days later, White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, intimated that Trump could have Supreme Court justices arrested. (Continued)

"Why do we ridicule Biden as too old, then ignore Trump's decline? A media expert explains."
The Washington press corps saw Joe Biden’s aging, but it doesn’t seem to notice Donald Trump’s. Why? It’s pretty simple, really. Trump acts like a big, tough man. He spends a lot of his time demonstrating his big, tough manhood. Biden never did that. It’s not in his nature. Guess which personality type gets more positive attention from reporters?
So even if Trump lies and lies and lies, even if he inexplicably sways and bops to music for minutes on end, even if he descends into outright gibberish, and even if he demands that you and everyone you know accept as gospel truth his maniacal delusions — even if he does all these things that old men with dementia often do, he’ll never be called old.
Because he looks big and tough.
Fact is, he’s weak. He’s always been weak. And his weakness is always on display, if you’re paying attention, even as he daily demonstrates his so-called dominance. Indeed, there is no other way of putting it honestly.
When you do a thing that triggers a reaction, then pull back that thing as a consequence of that reaction, that’s textbook weakness. That’s what he’s been doing with tariffs since he took office. On again, off again, no consistency, no logic, utter chaos – because he’s weak. (Continued)

'"Endangered': Justice John Roberts takes apparent swing at Trump."
Chief Justice John Roberts took an apparent swing at Donald Trump Monday, as he warned that America's justice system was "endangered" — and took particular aim at attacks on judges.
Though Trump wasn't named by the justice, he has openly targeted judges in the multiple criminal and civil cases he has faced, as well as judges ruling on parts of his agenda. Some of this attacks have contributed to death threats.
Roberts, an extremely conservative justice, was speaking to Georgetown Law students Monday, according to Politico.
He made clear the public perception of the judiciary is not always as “toxic” as it may seem.
“We have to work together on these things that are difficult. You find a way to get along,” Roberts said. “It’s a long job. If you’re sort of really at each other’s throats with bad feelings and stuff like that, it just — it’s not a good way to function. … We do have to address some very, very difficult things, and we’re the only people who are doing it.” (Continued)

The church’s decision came after 49 white South Africans arrived in the U.S. as refugees, part of a ruling from President Donald Trump who accused their nation’s government of discriminating against whites.
The church declared that it would refuse to help resettle them, following criticism that white Afrikaners were being allowed to leapfrog a system in which thousands of people were stuck in dangerous circumstances for years.
It defies a longstanding partnership with the government to help newly arrived refugees.

University of West Florida President, Martha Saunders, will resign months ahead of the expiration of her contract on Dec. 31, she announced Monday morning. She has served as president since 2017.
The resignation came after Gov. Ron DeSantis made clear his intention to overhaul the Pensacola university, including controversial trustee appointments and criticisms of university research and student activities.

I know it may come as a surprise, and for some, a disappointment. Please know I did not make it lightly. I believe this is the right time — for me and for UWF.”
DeSantis (and Board of Governors) appointees to the UWF Board of Trustees caused a stir this legislative session, with one rejected by the Senate and two others resigning before the Senate could vote on their confirmation.
DeSantis said last month there are “big changes” in store for UWF, while bragging about the political overhaul of New College of Florida. (Continued)

ABC News and other media outlets added a crucial detail. After Trump leaves office, the 747 gifted by Qatar would be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library. Of course, presidential libraries do not ride on luxury airplanes. This is a gift, valued at least $400 million, from a foreign government to Trump himself.

"MAGA Renews Calls for my Arrest."
MAGA renews calls for my arrest overnight, cops admit they wrongly arrested a 19 year old in Georgia who now faces deportation, Qatar's gift to Trump is in Texas, and Trump arrives in Saudi Arabia.
(Aaron Parnas,
May 13, 2025)
Good morning, everyone. I woke up today to yet another wave of online attacks, with critics doubling and even tripling down on my arrest—for doing nothing more than sharing accurate, timely news. One of the most prominent commentators is once again urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate me, while others are openly calling for my imprisonment. (Continued)

"Trump’s Huge Tariff Hoax. A big lie is at the heart of Trump’s tariffs."
(Robert Reich,
May 13, 2025)
On Sunday night, the U.S. announced that it is cutting tariffs on Chinese imports from 145 percent to 30 percent, for 90 days, and that China is dropping tariffs on U.S. goods from 125 percent to 10 percent, also for 90 days.
The stock market soared on the news. (Anyone with inside knowledge of the deal made a killing.)
But what’s the ultimate goal here? What will happen over the next 90 days? (Continued)

Dems should absolutely pounce in this. The Epstein files have been political and conspiritorial chum for MAGA. If they are the ones asking where they are, it flips the script. They need to ask for probes into Epsteins death, remark on the sad suicide of Virginia Giuffre and remark about how both happened under Trump. It's a weak point for MAGA.
So much respect for Rep Dan Goldman. It is time to stop the corruption NOW!!!
SUCH MAGA BULLSHIT
The biggest coverup in the history of American; lock him up!!!
I think the coverup of who really killed JFK may be bigger. Or the coverup of who was really behind the assassination of Abe Lincoln. The conspirators who were hanged were tools of the real killers. Lincoln's death was plotted by members of his own cabinet, who opposed his policy of the reconstruction of the South, which gave former slaves equal rights, including the right to run for public office. The whites in Lincoln's own goverment could not tolerate such a policy, so they got an angry bigot Confederate to kill him and replaced him with a shit named Johnson, who reversed everything Lincoln had tried to do to heal the nation after the war.
I believe, for what it's worth, that Kennedy was killed for pretty much the same reason; it was his policy favoring civil rights for Blacks that got him killed, among other things. But that was principally it.
As godawful as the whole Epstein mess is, I rather think that the coverups of these two presidential assassinations might be a tad worse, as they were so consequential.
I find it increasingly tiresome reading these pronouncments of the "worst," the "biggest" or the "most" this or that "IN AMERICAN HISTORY," by people who obviously have zero knowledge of American history. It's childish and stupid to think that anything that happens in YOUR OWN lifetime is the MOST of any other time in history. It's especially stupid to state these assinine beliefs as FACTS when you haven't a clue what the historical facts are.
Who will end up in prison when this is all said & done
The main question that should be asked is whether or not J. Epstein was murdered. If he was murdered, then the question becomes for what reason and who was it the ordered or committed the murder. Whoever is investigating this Potential murder should begin with questioning his closest partner in his sexual schemes, but I think she is presently in jail. If the files are not made available soon, they may be altered to cover up answers to pertinent questions.... if they have not already been altered. The entire Epstein affair actually smells of disastrous and extremely embarrassing image degradation even if one were to understand that the image of Trump or Clinton or any other well-known person could be destroyed. Imagine.... The POTUS is actually a pedophile rapist and is probably responsible for the murder of a prisoner in jail in order to cover up his involvement..... Imagine such a thing happening.... (??? The prison or jailhouse guards were asleep when Epstein died???)
No. They just happened to have all been called away that night, for the length of time it took the assassins to hang Epstein in his cell. Not long. Just long enough.
Gotta follow up this strongly worded level with trump-era necessary response - DO something consequential. Action speaks louder than words
Bullshit
Yes, we can’t wait.
Of course the files are being kept. There was a Netflix documentary about it and Trump was mentioned in the sexual assault on the minors children involved in the disgusting situation. They paid off someone at the FBI and the 2 that were in charge of the investigation was ordered to immediately stop investigating and leave it alone and never mention it again.
Maybe Epstein's "wing"man" Maxwell has a copy of all of this..
Happy birthday Ben! Hope you had a good time at the awards - MMUK, Roz
We know from then that they were friends. Of course that bondi bimbo tries to cover the fact.
WOW! This really smells!!
Bondi is a complete moron She needs go back to law school. She's an utter asshole.
EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE DAN'S passionate call for so-called "Republicans" to "do their damn job" and call it in to GOP Senators and Congresspeople. DON'T LET THEM pretend they don't hear the calls for them to abide by their oaths of office.
So eager to have to bury or shred.

It is all so frustrating and concerning. I try to reach out to others to encourage conversations with people around town and see if they are open to hear some truths on the fate of our democracy. Most of the time they are clueless, I hear "I don't watch news" often, and then I give them just a couple of facts to hopefully get them interested such as this one.
I absolutely agree with the Mr. Goldman GOP needs to do their job!!! 2027 is not even necessary. Let's keep up the Good Fight💙🇺🇲💙💙 and remember, I love you all!
If they don't come clean and provide full transparency on the Epstein files, we'll just start filling in the blanks, assign the comments to Blondie and be on our way just like the magats do.
Republicans in Congress better wake up and do their Constitutional duty and rein in the 🍊 💩. Like the Titanic, his ship is sinking and he's taking them all down with him.
Never forget who allowed trump to ruin this country.
Great interview🔥
Thank you for covering all that you do, MTN, and for hosting guests with integrity!
I encourage everyone to read CRAIG UNGER's book, available from your public library or buy used.
Well researched & enlightening.
We need to question JPMORGAN STANLEY that maintains a gaggle of attorneys for protection, as well as JAMIE DIMON.
There's more to this than the perverted pedophiles.
Was this MONEY LAUNDERING? EXTORTION? BLACK MAIL? INTELLIGENCE SHARING?
This is not simply a tawdry list of perverts.
Who paid JEFFREY EPSTEIN? FOLLOW THE MONEY!
JPMORGAN STANLEY failed to report BERNIE MADOFF. They have done much the same with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Don't expect the corrupt Trump clowns to address it.
Ask questions & consider the missing pieces. Why the massive cover-up?
Goldman is absolutely right. This can’t wait until 2027. I’m calling Don Bacon’s and Brian Fitzpatrick’s offices tomorrow. Not all gop congressmen are MAGA. Some represent swing districts and need to be pressured to do the right thing and stop this dangerous grifter-in- chief before it’s too late.
The justice department will just ignore the letter. It's what they do.
Will this nightmare never end?
Felon 47 is a violent pedophile.
This all goes back the the republicans growing a spine. If they think they will not be voted out come mid-terms, they have another think coming. If they think the felon will somehow get rid of them if they cave and do the right thing, it doesn't matter, they will be gone anyway. So republicans, get off your scaredy cat asses and impeach this POS and his regime!!!!
If he should get impeached... who would be president jd Vance?
Yes, but I think he would be easy to get rid of. Not sure that even the republicans would put up with him, then it would go to maga Mike Johnson....there must be a way to get rid of him, too. I just want them all gone!
The problem is Peter Thiel intends for Vance to be president. Thiel is likely the most powerful force behind Project 2025 and has put a lot of his “people” in major roles in the administration.
We need all these actions happening in Congress to be brought forward so we can amplify them.
Good interview.

Thank you, Ben and Representative Goldman for staying on this issue and for calling out congressional Republicans!
I consider the Kennedy assassination and the Epstein incident to be general maga diversion/distraction. I am totally focused on the parts of my personal life that are being dismantled every day by trump, his cult, republican congress and the supreme court. When they take my social security, I don't know how I will live?? I'm retired, 78 years old and too old to even look for a job!!! I guess I'll starve and die.
I will die too,and am prepared to, but I want to live just long enough to see the pig dead or destroyed, and one of the possible ways to hasten his destruction is this Epstein case. If Goldman could blow the lid off of this and secure visual proof that The PIG raped little girls procured by Epstein, I don't think he would survive the fallout. That is why this subject is not a diversion or a distraction. It's a weapon we can wield against a tyrant who will take away yours and my social security, thereby condemning us to death. It matters. Believe me.
Rep Goldman would make a great Attorney General in 29.

"Smile"
(Music by Charles Chaplin, Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons)
"Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just
Smile
