Can you guys do more pieces on Theil, Vance, Curtis Yarvin, etc and the Dark Enlightenment.

The NY Times The Interview was so good at outing him. I’d love to see you guys hit that subject.

I’d like to see more deep diving into project 2025 and the people behind it. I still believe that they’re the ones pulling the tangerine puppet strings. People are focusing too much on him rather than what the agenda is from those authors of 2025.

It's actually a smoke screen for agenda 2030. Where we will own nothing. People forget that Putin gave several speeches for the WEF and Klaus Schwab. Donald Trump Vladimir and Netanyahu are making sure that they are starting that ball rolling. That also involves getting rid of people living out in the countryside we will all be in 15 minutes cities crowded together

Yes! Those creepy weirdos want to enslave us all. They are scary! And JD Vance buys into all their crap. And if we could actually manage to impeach Trump, we would be stuck with Vance. He is evil personified.

Vance should be impeached too. They have all betrayed their oath to the constitution.

I see how totally committed you are- and your time must be very short— but, I suggest you and your team, get someone out there( on the lamer media( CNN, MSNBC, FOX( if you can tolerate the smell of lies). A way to promote your Truth telling site, and reach even more people, and build subscribers. Please consider, thanks.

Yes, but most Americans don't listen to podcasts. Seeing Meidas people on television is another matter entirely and a far better means of promotion. Get interviewed on Fox, ABC and the other networks and it will be a great way to get out the truth in the face of Trump/Musk lies, and let people know that Meidas is a source for truthful and unvarnished news and opinion.

But Fox is the media arm of the GOP. It is not a recognized reliable source of news, and even admits it's an entertainment network.

Not Pete. He can't win and he's not going to leave his toddlers IMHO. We need him for governor here. We need to start grooming an unknown now who is a moderate so we can. just win. America's not in the mood for an Uber progressive.

He has taken the case to half the country via Fox "News". He is the best and most cogent speaker we have. I'm sure he realizes that as a gay man with a husband he can't win the Presidency but what he wants is a better America and he can and will make the case for that.

Susan Bender's avatar

I already know that. He lives in my town. He's brilliant but that has nothing to do with his ability to win. Also he kids are still very young. Let him be our governor as a stepping stone and give him 8 more years to get the kids in college and the country will hopefully have less aholes that would never vote gay. This is why we lose again if we can't come up with a winner. Surely he isn't the only card we are holding in our deck. And don't get a radical leftist who will only excite Trump's polar vortex. If Bernie were 50, I'd be voting for him is that's thebeat we can do. Let's just win and concentrate later on the issues that 99% of the.country aren't passionate.about.

Fine with that, except that after Trump is through we may not have a country left, just a third world morass run by some MAGA boss who answers to Putin on anything important.

Getting warmer! Josh Shapiro? I'd be OK with either. Not excited , just OK. I saw Shapiro on Bill Maher recently and thought that he babbled about himself too much instead of talking about ideas. We still have time to groom someone else.

I totally agree. Self promotion on Substack to the people who already know what you are about is redundant. Medias, you guys are great and dedicated but you all need to get on some of the shows that other people watch. Saw Anand Giridharadas, The.Ink on Morning Joe(gave up on them when they kissed the ring) because I like his messaging. Why don’t you do something like that?

"Republicans have already admitted that they will use the money Musk slashes from critical services to help offset the massive cost of their tax plan." Please remember that any money that Musk says he's "saved" has to be reduced by the expenses incurred in the process (fire, rehire, lost lives, lost efficiency, etc.), and that includes lost tax revenue by gutting the IRS.

What this is really about is him trying to have world domination. In this way every major corporation around the world would have to come to him to make a deal. He also sees the treasury as his personal bank account and it might as well be because there are no checks and balances to keep him from pocketing it The same way Putin has done in Russia. By the way Putin is the richest man he can't admit it because he would be admitting to all his thievery. The Simpsons predicted he would leave us bankrupt but I thought we beat that prediction when we voted him out in 2020. This is like every Saturday morning cartoon we grew up where the bad guy like Pinky and the Brain is trying to take over the universe so that everything belongs to them. Meanwhile blotting out the sun and the joy from everyone else alive. The only good thing I see is that Trump and every single person he has hired to work around him are incredibly stupid and I expect everything they do to backfire tremendously at levels never seen in the history of the world. If I were the rest of the world I would start a meeting with the rest of the world excluding the United States and have every other country agreed to pick up the slack of things that they are no longer going to send to the United States.

Additionally, we all know Trump is the puppet of Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Putin is the main star of world economic forums Klaus Schwab. The famous reset politician of the global order who says we will all own nothing by 2030. Russia started it for him by attacking Ukraine and now through Donald Trump's idiocy they are trying to bankrupt the entire world by 2030 so that we will all own nothing. 15 minute cities group together. That is why they are trying to destroy the rural economies because in the agenda 2030 plan there are no people living out in the beautiful rural country sides except the richest of the rich. All this time m a g a fought against globalism and they are bringing it into reality.

OMG!!! About 3-4 years ago, I heard a similar theory about Bill Gates wanting all the people removed from the rural areas and forced into the cities in Washington State. I am a native New Yorker who relocated to a rural area in WA State 43 years ago. I do not believe that this will happen. While I do not own a gun or wish to use one, lots of people here do. I would choose to die over living under fascism. Predictions like these make me happy that I am old and have had a wonderful life. However, I do care about the next 7 generations and beyond. God SAVE America, my home, sweet home.

The demented lunatic, tRump, his Gestapo ICE regime, their brigade of billionaire oligarchs and the administration from hell are successfully enacting their Project 2025 plan to turn the USA into a dictatorship. They are disrespecting the Constitution. They are destroying our Democracy, Basic Civil Rights and the Global Economy. If their Big Beautiful Bill passes, our Elders and Veterans will be thrown out of nursing homes, some with nowhere to go. Sick, hurt or disabled people will lose their medical insurance, allowing only the wealthy to afford proper health care. More immigrants and refugees could be deported to their deaths, bankrupting businesses that are losing their workforce. They are making food and medication so expensive people will have to go without. More jobs would be eliminated, leaving many of us without the means to support our families.The tRump has defunded Medical/Science Research, Food Safety Inspection, Public Health Warnings, Weather Monitoring & Alerts are ending. Americans will die without these services. Withholding our Liberties, Medicine, Medical Care, Shelter and Food are the beginning stages of intentional genocide in America.

Watch Virginia's gov race. Abigail Spanberger is the only Dem, our current Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears WAS the only GOP. DRAMA I think, since the Lt Governor is a black woman! Will Virginia Republicans & MAGA be able to cast a vote for a black woman to be our next governor? Today I learn that Amanda Chase (**white**, calls J6 thugs "patriots", attended J6, brought A pistol to the VA Senate floor, supports total abortion ban, calls herself "Trump in Heels") just filed to be on the GOP ballot. Apparently a last minute filing & isn't the timing interesting. The Lt Governor has Gov. Youngkin's endorsement and while I don't agree with her stance on most things she's qualified & hasn't acted a fool. Not that one can trust a Republican. Never again.

Now there will be a GOP primary.
