The premium hub for MeidasTouch, the fastest growing pro-democracy news network. Bonus articles, exclusive content, and interactive chats. Led by Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas, with exclusive articles by Ron Filipkowski.
Incredible how the news media still covers things like this about face as breaking news and doesn’t roll its eyes or provide the clarity about why we have to pause the attacks. If Trump wants to call them awful and threaten their licenses, at least go out at report the news.
Yes, forced out and then joined MTN, where they call out the BS lies loud and proud everyday! And brave Katie Phang filed a lawsuit against Blanche and the DOJ! That’s where we’re winning, and why I agree with Ben, we have to have hope, and work to make the midterms a blue tsunami of epic proportion and take back both the House and Senate and put the brakes on this rogue, criminal, Fascist/Nazi administration!
I think we can no longer refer to it as main stream media - I'm not sure what I'd be comfortable with. Legacy media seems to give it a dignity that it doesn't deserve.
Independent journalism is now definitely Main Stream - the difference is not JUST the content, but the fact that we listen and read. We pay attention; it isn't just background noise.
What was main stream media is like old cars - junkers. I just haven't found a term/name that feels right to me. It will present itself eventually ...
Right? They cover his statements as tho they are truth he is spewing….over and over and over….purposely forgetting that he’s pulled this same crap time and time again, almost too many times to count.
Is it only me who thinks there’s a greater scheme afoot for the orange one and his cult to do something during the November elections that’s going to either stop them from happening, or cause republicans to “win” even if every single person votes democrat? Democrats don’t have the history or mindset to deny election results. So - what then?
If they do that, they will have a huge uprising from the people…but I wouldn’t put it past them. I don’t even think they will deny the fact that they lost… they just simply will not honor it.😔
The J6 revolutionists have a slush fund to reward them. The "Libs" can now count on being pardoned and paid for violently preventing certification of a GOP rigged election.
Jeffries and Schumer are owned by Israel and AIPAC.......the donars run the show.
Progresseives get shut down and AiIPAC celebrates as American citizens watch as Israel gets universal healthcare....full womens healthcare and many other benifets.
It is not just a scheme, it is going to happen. Just watch Texas, Ohio, Maine and even Florida. They manipulated even the Republican primary in SC where Lindsey Graham was polling in upper 40 to 52% then Trump announced over a week before the election that Lindsey had won. In the Republican primary Lindsey won with more than twice the votes of the closest contender. After his death, Trump chose his sister within 48 hours to fill the seat. Watch the upcoming Republican primary, with several qualified candidates running, you can bet on who is going to win!
You are correct, Democrats do not contest elections even when the fraud is evident. That’s how the Democrats protect Republican friendly seats. As in Michigan, the Democrats are making sure the republicans do not loose in November.
It isn’t only you. I’m sure that whatever scheme he CAN pull off , he WILL try to pull off. We all need to think outside the box and make sure he doesn’t succeed
I agree 100%, From experience, we’ve seen trump WILL DO “ANYTHING” to stay in power, there is NOTHING HE WOULD NOT DO and anything he did wouldn’t surprise me, that’s the scariest thing of all. Trump WOULD RATHER BURN THE ENTIRE THING DOWN THAN LOOSE HIS POWER! I think death is the only way we’ll & the world will be saved from his evil hate & destruction! ✌🏽🍀🦋💙
Some of us can't get out in the street like me. I wish I could , but i'm too old and disabled. The only things I can do is from my phone and pass the word on. Too many people have blinders on and don't even know what's going on. I wish independent media could be on TV so more people would know. All I know is what's on the regular news. And then a lot of people do know , and still don't do anything about it. Schumer and Jeffries need to go. AIPAC needs to be gotten rid of.
Dorothy, I agree 100%, From experience, we’ve seen trump WILL DO “ANYTHING” to stay in power, there is NOTHING HE WOULD NOT DO and anything he did wouldn’t surprise me, that’s the scariest thing of all.

We’re going bigger than ever optimistic about our next election future generations will take over the White House and of course the congressional Democrats Supreme Court must vote new legislation by democratic leaders judges called out corrupt Trumps appointed judges 🫶🏻👍🙏
Thanks Ben for all you do. Following all this absurd news every day must be exhausting. Kudos to you and your brothers for keeping up with it daily so we don't have to!
This "barely-human president" is the reason why Congress has the duty/ obligation/ legal authority to declare war.... Congress has failed this country, the constitution and their sworn duty .... blood isn't just on their hands they are swimming in it...
I believe this is likely. Trump et al have lots of plans to development resorts and riviera’s all over the ME. MBS has tremendous influence over the whole clan. The clan will never have enough money and power. It’s sick. In the meantime the plight of regular Americans is of no consequence to the regime. They believe their lies outrageous bald faced cover them.
I have a hard time accepting anything, info/propaganda, that comes out of the trump regime, including from the military commanders. All this talk of depleted munitions seems like a ploy. Why would they admit that publicly? The military industrial complex is unfortunately a main feature of the US economy and more money has been poured into it than ever before. I'm not buying it.
I find that I don't want to send money to all the various, excellent political candidates across the country, but I DO support independent media. Thanks for being a leading voice of reason.
I only send a very small monthly donation (fixed income you know) to Mark Kelly. Partly because he's from my SW vicinity, but I also think his indignation is righteous. He stood his ground when Testosterone Kegseth went after him for daring to say service members don't have to obey illegal orders.
YES Karen! Little Petey Kegsbreath got his nasty little pee pee squashed on That One and I was Delighted! After all the years of service to our country and serving in war time in several different conflicts/wars Kelly's words hold FAR more weight with me than that little Poppinjay!!
I live in close proximity to you, in Nv, and am Delighted to hear that someone from a deeply Red State feels the way You do! It gives me HOPE!!! THANK YOU!
This latest "the deal is almost done" from Trump is more desperation on his part. He stepped in a bucket, and can't seem to shake it off! Nobody but Bibi wanted him to attack Iran; even his base was majority-against it, yet he persisted. He FAFO'd the shit out of it, and now he can't get loose from it.
The reflecting pool is a disaster because he had to get his kickback on the job, so he hired a donor's company to do it as cheaply and quickly as possible so that he could absorb the excess money. then he took his entire motorized entourage onto the bottom of the pool in armored vehicles and drove over the uncured paint! He then invented "evil leftist vandals" to cover his own incredibly stupid ass!

I can answer that. Our MSM is now a oligarch owned subsidiary of the former republican, now fascist, party the good ole USA. 🤮
Very true. Just wish someone had the guts to just eff it and say the truth (an anchor or reporter).
Some have. Most have been forced out as a result. That's bravery.
Yes, forced out and then joined MTN, where they call out the BS lies loud and proud everyday! And brave Katie Phang filed a lawsuit against Blanche and the DOJ!

Media is complicit in the fascist takeover.
Main stream media has been bought.
Except Meidas

How about "big corporate media"?
Right? They cover his statements as tho they are truth he is spewing….over and over and over….purposely forgetting that he’s pulled this same crap time and time again, almost too many times to count.
I have went to MSNow for news.
MSNow does cover a broader range of news.

I have no confidence that Americans will engage in a huge uprising. Sad to say and hope I'm wrong.
I hope you’re wrong too, since he tried so hard to compromise voting, it would be obvious he lost..
The J6 revolutionists have a slush fund to reward them. The "Libs" can now count on being pardoned and paid for violently preventing certification of a GOP rigged election.
🧐You think?
I'm afraid of this also but am hoping that it does not happen.

Exactly!!

they have a broader scheme than most of us can imagine!
But there are counter plans.
To quote the Clash tune "Know Your Rights:" "Get out in the streets, O-O-O!" They may have the guns but we have the NUMBERS.
Some of us can't get out in the street like me. I wish I could , but i'm too old and disabled. The only things I can do is from my phone and pass the word on.

And then a lot of people do know , and still don't do anything about it. Schumer and Jeffries need to go. AIPAC needs to be gotten rid of.
We actually have the guns, too.
You said it!!! 100 million in the streets every weekend.......national strikes.......
What happened to the USA??????
Dorothy, I agree 100%, From experience, we’ve seen trump WILL DO “ANYTHING” to stay in power, there is NOTHING HE WOULD NOT DO and anything he did wouldn’t surprise me, that’s the scariest thing of all.

The fat POS is going to surround himself with his personal ICE army and tell the country he's going nowhere

Thanks Ben! Glad you had a great time with family at Carmel (well-deserved!).
I am petrified that maga's dark money will take over our midterm elections. But reading your posts help me keep focused and hopeful. Thank you!
AIPAC = ANTI-DEMOCRACY is being publicly revealed, keeps changing its name to make ANONYMOUS attacks, but is being defeated.
ANONYMOUS DARK MONEY is becoming SUSPECT!
Recently 100 House Members opposed sending BOMBS to ISRAEL!
Americans are tired of the WAR MONGERS!
Every voter needs to get out and VOTE! Hungary beat their fascist rigged government - WE CAN DO IT HERE TOO!
Thanks Ben for all you do. Following all this absurd news every day must be exhausting. Kudos to you and your brothers for keeping up with it daily so we don't have to!
LIES, brought to you by the Roy Cohn School of Truth Fabrication.
This "barely-human president" is the reason why Congress has the duty/ obligation/ legal authority to declare war.... Congress has failed this country, the constitution and their sworn duty .... blood isn't just on their hands they are swimming in it...
McTaco is a sub-human Trumpenstein.......the ultimate bottomfeeding dipshit scumbag
Is MBS making a deal with the orange idiot to end our involvement in Iran? Here’s $$$billion to Kushner if you walk away now?
I believe this is likely. Trump et al have lots of plans to development resorts and riviera’s all over the ME. MBS has tremendous influence over the whole clan. The clan will never have enough money and power. It’s sick. In the meantime the plight of regular Americans is of no consequence to the regime. They believe their lies outrageous bald faced cover them.
trump will listen to MBS/Kushner... there's a lot of $$$ at stake, and this is all about $$$. Humanity is expendable/disposable. $$$ and power rule.
I just want to continue to witness the 🍊 peeling everyday. Right down to the pulp.
Then, 🍊 Crush. Or rather Crush 🍊
Thanks Meidas.
BUT... those really suffering. Can nothing be done to help the Haitians?
I have a hard time accepting anything, info/propaganda, that comes out of the trump regime, including from the military commanders. All this talk of depleted munitions seems like a ploy. Why would they admit that publicly? The military industrial complex is unfortunately a main feature of the US economy and more money has been poured into it than ever before. I'm not buying it.
I am buying it…, not because it is necessarily true but because it may give us a reason to withdraw
By wimping out, I guess. Trump and Hegseth are wimps, after all.
And I hear the national archives in Chicago and San Bernardino are going to close! Where is the news and outrage over that?
The boy that cries wolf cries wolf again. Just a bizarro world of a presidency.
I haven’t seen his latest AI images but I can only imagine what little Natalie came up with for him to sign off on. She’s as bad as Goebbels ! ! !
They're all as bad as the Fascist Nazis of the last century. Only their perceived enemies are different in this century.
I find that I don't want to send money to all the various, excellent political candidates across the country, but I DO support independent media. Thanks for being a leading voice of reason.

Support what you can do for your local candidates. Roy Cooper, Jamie Agar in NC, and Jon Ossoff next door neighbor in GA.
Hear Hear!!
YES Karen! Little Petey Kegsbreath got his nasty little pee pee squashed on That One and I was Delighted! After all the years of service to our country and serving in war time in several different conflicts/wars Kelly's words hold FAR more weight with me than that little Poppinjay!!

Thank YOU! Voting Blue is the only path out of this mess and end Republi-con complicity and enabling in both Houses of Congress.
I love that word “Poppinjay” although it’s too good for Hogseth
Thank you so much for all you and your team do to get the correct messages out.
I hope Katie had a great Birthday.

I think Bibi is an evil man and Israel needs to get rid of him. He is poison for them.
