Well, now that the spineless eunuchs in the Republican Senate have (once again) relinquished their power to Trump and will likely allow his dim-witted regime to pull federal funding from many news sources (including NPR and PBS), Meidas is more important than ever!!

Please stay strong and keep up the fight against the MAGA cowards! Thank you for all you do!!

THE BIG BEAUTIFUL

DELAY

Why You're Not Feeling the Bill - Yet

H.R.1(The "Big Beautiful Bill") was

designed to delay the damage until

after the 2026 midterms.

Here's what's coming...but not just yet:

CUTS COMING AFTER THE ELECTION:

X Medicaid work rules Dec.2026

Food aid restrictions Late 2026

XXX

Clean energy credits end Mid to late 2026

Student loan changes Gradually by 2026

X Affordable housing cuts Phased in post-2025

X Rural hospitalı funding declines Starts 2026

WHY IT'S DELAYED:

Politicians want your vote before you feel the impact

The harshest parts are hidden untili after ballots are cast

By then, it's harder to stop.

STAY ALERT. SPREAD THE WORD, KNOW WHAT'S COMING.

Watch what's delayed - not just what's announced.

This needs to be posted monthly or weekly till next year then weekly or daily in places where MAGA will see it and begin to scratch their heads about its implications. It needs to be posted in the comments sections of MAGA Tik Toks til the clueless understand how they are being manipulated. We get it. Please post it regularly where they are unaware!!!!

And don’t forget that the huge deficit triggers the PAYGO sequestration that will trigger 500 billion in Medicare cuts. 45 billion starts in January of 26! It’s going to hurt a lot more than what they’re telling you!

Some supporters of the Pedo Don can are FINALLY having BIG BEAUTIFUL BONFIRES 🔥 dumping the garbage they paid real money for is a fabulous sight to see. I will never understand what took so long but BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. NOW THAT the illegitimate prez has dumped maga, we should be seeing more of them dumping him also FINALLY. 💪😁. His calling those EPSTEIN FILES A HOAX by the Democrats is PROOF of his name being all over those files and lists. Who was Pres. when Epstein was arrested & murdered? Not President Biden, not Clinton, not anyone other than Trump!! Every single HOAX & WITCH HUNT is always PROOF That confirms he's scared of the truth coming out. IT'S COMING OUT PAL. GET A LAWYER.

When did lying and cheating become a legitimate form of political discourse? If people can be banned from social media for telling the truth, and our leaders can be elected and reelected and govern based on lies, how can we even pretend to have a government by the people?

What we have is a government and a political conversation dominated by those who can shout the loudest, with no limits on what they can say or how they can silence those they disagree with.

The MSM plays a huge part in this. They are practically propagandists. I am surprised Lawrence O'Donnell is still on the air. Interesting that Trump does not seem to go after him or Rachel.

That is also true from some of us in Canada. My wife and I are both seniors and live on a fixed income. Additionally, we in Canada have our own issues with the fascist Trump regime. Many of our fellow Canadians are already hurting because of Trump's policies and tariffs, and we know that it is only going to get worse for everybody.

This is a serious question. The anti-America, greed fest billionaires are bank rolling all of these creature/influencer/disrupters.

They've been after the great society of FDR since Major General Smedley Butler shut them down in the 30's. They all go back to the robber barron mentality.

The media scape is awash in their anger and hatred to win their idea of White Christian, Lords and Serfs model for the billionaire class.

Our challenge IS and has been to find a way to not have the public square turn it to a cacophony of noise and the loudest megaphones shouting incoherently. Thet is exactly the territory the gop love to claim. I have yet to figure how main street affords to shut them down, not elevate the yelling. There is no doubt the DJT well oiled "bright mesmerizing lights, casino hustler with flashing fake promises" is the gop mantra. He still playing the corrupt house to steal our money.

Yes Stacey, you are doing it now just like I am. Post, read & support. We do the best we can. We are here and here we shall stay. STOP THREATENING THE TRUTH TELLERS AT MEIDAS TOUCH. Also going on to utube to the MT costs nothing to subscribe & hitting the "like" button is a huge help to the channel. I do it everyday. 👍👌 & that helps to keep them far above Fox Entertainment channels, Joe Rogan podcast & keeps MEIDAS TOUCH remain #1. 😁

We find out if MTN posts them, but they're too honorable to sink to the level of our opponents. Even if they oughtta. But we DO know that every rightist wingnut podcast deserves multiple complaints for false information & outright lies, so lodge strike-fodder against ALL of 'em. Kirk, Shapiro, Carlson, Pool, Hannity, Ingraham, Gaetz, Rogan, ALL of 'em! Aw, hell, if there are wingnut congressional reps who podcast, hit THEM TOO!

I don't think Tik Tok will do that. If Trump has his way, Tik Tok (or the US version) will be owned by his friends. Then everyone that Trump doesn't like will be banned.

I don't have Tik Tok so have not followed what was going on. I agree, they probably are walking a tight rope right now. If, when and ever Tik Tok is bought by someone else I'm sure the head circus clown will be pressuring them to remove Meidas.

Keep up the great work. One way I spread info about you is - I write postcards for Activate America. I have made up stickers that say "Want the truth? Real facts? Watch Meidas Touch on YouTube." I put those on all the postcards I send out. Cowards can't stomach the truth. We will prevail.

Of all forms of social media and news coverage, Substack has by far become my favorite platform. I’ve really liked the large number of legacy media figures who have grown tired of how things have become since Trump has ruined everything and the new upcoming civilian journalist who are offering than own opinion and perspective. This site and YouTube are where to turn to be informed by some of the best legitimate sources.
