I have to tell you when I was at the Hands Off March last weekend there was a guy with a sign that just said listen to Medias touch! I was like "I love those guys"!!
Great idea! And, if Elon's board dumps him there will be no one to pick him up. As a bonus? Trump will blame him for everything that's backfiring. Rubio will take a hit in the gut before it's over and done with.
All dictators need to control the army. Make sure your family and friends in the military are well informed of the truth about the GOP fascist agenda and won't follow an illegal martial law order blindly.
The military need to remember what they took their oaths to. The what is to the people of our Republic and it's Constitution. It is my hope that rather than listening Hegseth and Trump that they instead listen to their brains and remember the importance of what their parents taught them while they were growing up to be Patriotic Americans knowing right from wrong and the importance of family, friends and neighbors
Me too! We have so many things we can say about this regime, but we need to spread the word about the Medias Touch Network! Don't forget to get out there on 4/19. Let's have an even larger turn out this time!
...and The Bulwark, Robert Reich's Substack, Scott Dworkin, and Democracy Docket...there are more and more...an entire network is being built, which makes it more difficult for the regime to focus on one opposition party only!
MOST DEFINITELY…… we definitely have some independent people we can go and listen to for the facts/the truth. We just gotta keep pushing them into the algorithm. Make sure you are liking every video, every post, subscribe and share💙
We need Republican Congress to check this asshole president.
They need to quit being followers and start being the leaders they were elected by the people to be. The Republicans in Congress HAVE to stand up and check this man.
I agree, "older woman"! It's not a waste of effort in my opinion. People do get rescued and run from religious cults, and it can happen in a political one too! Keep the truth flooding!
Hear, hear! I think MTN have a series called "leaving MAGA". It's really interesting. It provides kindness and the proof people survived after leaving MAGA. Ex-MAGA are offered a non-judgemental, loving, support group with a soft landing and a community waiting for them, wanting to meet Ex-MAGA. We need American Patriots right now who are willing to work with the rest of American citizens.
Not sure it will ever happen BUT if only 3 GOP would cross the “aisle” ( it is Denali???) the CONGRESS could change our Nation. I call Senators and House members of my state EVERY SINGLE DAY AT LEAST ONCE AND they are GOP eager for trump’s crumbs like starving dogs. That said some GOP that are not running for office again might grow some anatomy with enough pressure. I wonder who to pursue and how to go about it. Just say’n. Ideas! Education! Everybody’s ideas of resistance matters! We can do this!! And thanks to Meidas!!!!!
Everyone should be pressuring them all. The ones who are already splintering may move all the way and bring some of the others with them. We have to up the calls and email campaigns to Congress every day. Pressure them even harder now that there is a crack in their dam and the water is breaking. We don't need a full dam break, but that would be awesome.
I do both. So many people are calling in, it is seldom you will speak with a human being. That doesn’t matter really unless you have unique unusual comment. For instance, thousands of calls are coming in to oppose the SAVE ACT or the current topic on the floor of House or Senate. The number of calls are counted! So every time you call, whether you leave a message or not, your call is counted. Calling your own State representatives at their state office locations usually will be answered by a human. Be nice, they are probably volunteers working or even paid, they are not remotely going to influence the decisions in the legislature. They will not saying anything accept your comment will be added thank you for calling. The main number for the WHITE HOUSE Switchboard 202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414. A Human will asked who You want to speak with so know that person, usually those from your home state or who is advancing the bill you are specifically concerned about OR for you want to thank! Just an YFI, you can watch Congress in Session live on C Span 2. It can be as interesting a watching paint dry or complete chaos or so stupid to be maddening. Whatever your interest or talent please peacefully RESIST NOW, waiting to vote in 2026 is the same as beating a dead horse and expecting it to win the trophy.
here's my comment all day today.. it came from the balance budget creation puppet trump is selling but doesn't understand: Congress needs to stop this but we the people cannot conceive of that much money... bringing it down to a "kitchen table" analogy is almost impossible. But we must get r's that voted for these imbeciles to get furious so the congress r's they voted in will stand against this madness. Here's a feeble attempt "Tell your family you need to keep 90% your salary so you can buy (??????). You state for the good of the family so there will be food restrictions, heat down to 50, no a/c, electricity off from 10pm-5am, hot water use once a day, mom to stay home, no spending on child care, sports, cloths, medicine, doctors" I'm sure it won't work but we must bring all those zeros down to what we can imagine as every day people trying to live.
Nothing is impossible. A huge amount of money is spent unnecessarily. Many want to blame “poor” people. Many with money are careless. As in couldn’t care less or choose total denial masked in elitism. The true issues at this time are from an orchestrated, intentional overthrow of the USA. I am only writing what I have recently learned. The last several years we have all had a rather surreal feeling that aliens are invading the world. Unfortunately, they are just real living evil men that are bent on Fascism ruling America. The remain safe, I will say only that there are 5 men coming from a very similar background and wealth have a very specific playbook. This is no conspiracy theory. The Christian Nationalism HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST!!! It is clear not about believing treating your neighbors as yourself. Examples, Jesus never would take children from their parents or stop checks of the money seniors paid in their entire working years to accumulate!! The plan written in PROJECT 2025 is about 997 pages, even divided on timeline and chapter. Trump eluded to it when was asked if he had a plan. His literally replied he had “concepts” of a plan, he (for once!) was telling the truth!!! He admitted on camera the election was rigged. Elon Musk bought trump the presidency!!! Trump is now threatened or is being blackmailed to do all he is doing. I seriously doubt that trump has ever even read or possibly is even capable of reading 1/3 of the project. While he was saying he knew nothing about it, he again may have been telling the truth? He is being told what to do. Perhaps go play golf, stay accounted for but away from causing trouble by thinking for himself. None of this stuff in essence is new at all. The project name has been changed but it is the very same playbook devised by Mussolini and Hitler. It was carried out in South Africa known as apartheid. There is no mistake that Musk gave a NAZI salute TWICE!! It is no mistake he wears black all the time. Look up the terms black shirts or brown shirts!! The black cap Musk wears, stating Make America Great Again. The font used is the one Hitler used. The USA is under Assault from the terrorists within. Fomenting hatred among human beings for their country of origin, skin color, education, sexual orientation, language, culture. Etc I am adding reproductive rights separately. The scope is much larger than but including abortion! Abortion was used due to the emotional, raw details to sway votes. The actual intent is to curtail the Rights of ALL Women (particularly minorities) from being educated, with careers/ money thus independence. AND PREVENTING WOMEN FROM VOTING. How better to encourage hatred of a woman’s independence than to rile men by making men feel embarrassed, emasculated, angry, unworthy, and then act out in nasty misogynist behavior that either is an outlet for disenfranchised men to vent their anger and frustration and/or give all men, in general, feel less respected encouraging a brotherhood of exclusion EVEN IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS, so often stonewalling with detrimental attitudes. The very core of the CONSTITUTION is under attack. WE the PEOPLE ARE !!! The USA GOVERNMENT!! CONGRESS IS ELECTED TO SERVE THAT OUR WILL BE DONE- NOT CORPORATE MEDIA, NOT OLIGARCHS, NOT FACIST WANT TO BE DICTATORS. DEVOTE EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY TO PEACEFULLY YET BOLDLY WITH COURAGE TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. ACT! RESIST! AMERICANS ARE NOT LOSERS AND SUCKERS. WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT ALLOW TRAITORS, TERRORISTS OR DRAFT DODGERS (Musk dodged in South AFRICA!) TO DISMANTLE OUR NATION!!!!
How bout a week-long boycott of evrything? Amazon etc. That wud shut down the country an F up their playbook..but..I am not an economist..where is Paul when I need him??!!
I'm a lifelong Democrat. I never thought I would say this, but we absolutely need Republicans in this hour. Both parties have to join forces as one against this orange stain in our history. Yes, it's that bad.
1. Zero sum game. If someone lost $3 trillion, somebody else won it. IMHO Trump has surrounded himself with people who know how to short the market.
2. A few right wing Republicans are opposing him. Grassley has a bill that would remove his power to adjust tarriffs. A right-wing group with financial ties to Leonard Leo and the Koch network, the New Civil Liberties Alliance sued, claiming that Trump’s decision to invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not give him the power to “usurp” Congress’s right to control tariffs or “upset the Constitution’s separation of powers.” https://newrepublic.com/post/193612/donald-trump-lawsuit-tariffs-far-right-group
3. He now is at odds with Musk, who is recommending a tariff free zone, the US and EU.
Yes, a Bill to stop tariffs etc. but President trump will veto it and then the Congress has to override his veto with a vote of 2/3's of House and Senate.
If a King, dictator controls the enforcement of laws, the military, has enough power to force businesses, people to obey under his threats and abuse of power, it takes millions of people to RESIST, push back, disobey.
No one is coming to save us! We the People must sacrifice, persist, RESIST, remember the nation We the People envisioned through the Constitution, a Union for a law/order democratic republic.
We the People are the only ones who can save 240+ yrs. of suffering, dying, working, voting, fighting for a "more perfect Union." There was always HOPE and the MEANS to change our society, lives.
Now, it seems abuse of power, wealth, threats, propaganda, corruption controls our taxpaid governments.
Tariffs will give governments revenue and impoverish the "liitle people" with no power until they are dependent on the wealthy passing crumbs to them.
Tariffs may replace income taxes and will become a reason for tax cuts for the wealthy.
This is an old, transparent way to seize control of government, a country and millions of people. It never ends well for the People. Let's get BUSY!
The Orange Donable Lector Cult will sadly drink the Orange Kool-Aid when Comb-Over gives the order. Their souls have been sold to Satan and have sacrificed their lives in order to "get the Libs." Hatred and racism rules their Fox News\trailerpark lives. Go No Contact.
Many of them were put into office by MAGA in the first place, so they support the installation of neofascism in the US, which by definition means taking away Congress as the beating heart of the government and giving it a merely advisory role (as Vance tweeted).
So now, it's urgently time to finally give up on the GOP altogether!
The fight to preserve democracy is a matter of life and death principle. If democracy dies in this country, there will be no free will for the people, it’s like prison all your days.
A former senate COS is running a project to get every representative in the USA to comment on whether they support impeachment, and they've even drafted Articles of Impeachment. I wrote out to my MoC and I'm waiting for a reply as part of the project. Here's their draft first Article of Impeachment:
Article of Impeachment
H. RES _____
RESOLVED, that Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:
ARTICLE I: TYRANNY
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Donald J. Trump has committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors, in that:
He has, by his actions and statements, sought to establish himself as tyrant, dictator, and autocrat over the People of the United States, usurping unto himself the constitutional powers of Congress, the courts, and the States, and powers illegitimate and beyond the scope of lawful government altogether.
He has claimed for himself absolute and arbitrary power, the ability to suspend laws at whim, and utterly disregarded and betrayed his oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to free and fair elections, including by bribery of voters, fraud and extortion of election officials, harassment and intimidation of election workers, and unconstitutionally ordering interference with the lawful administration of elections.
He has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to freedom of speech, and of assembly, and to petition the government for redress of grievances, by embarking on a wide-ranging censorship campaign to punish his political opponents, chill opposition, and illegally retaliate against constitutionally protected speech, association, and expression.
He has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to due process of law and equal protection of the laws, to fair and impartial independent courts, and to legal counsel as secured by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments.
He has sought to intimidate and coerce, by means including the threat of unlawful prosecutions and by encouraging violence and threats of violence, the Representatives and Senators in Congress.
He has repeatedly and intentionally threatened the Nation’s closest neighbors, allies, and friends with invasion, conquest, and annexation by military force, in violation of the constitutionally binding treaty obligations of the United States, and to the extraordinary detriment of national security and foreign relations, and constituting the “supreme international crime” of aggression.
He has denied and violated the separation of powers and the Constitution’s system of checks and balances, arrogating unto himself the legislative and judicial powers, including the power of Congress to levy taxes, appropriate public funds, direct the organization of officers and agencies of the executive branch, and to make laws.
He has sought to intimidate, coerce, and extort the officers of the several States, including those elected by the People thereof, and thereby sought to commandeer the several States, in violation of their sovereignty and the system of federalism established by the Constitution of the United States.
He has repeatedly and openly stated he intends to violate the presidential term limits established by the Twenty-Second Amendment, and adopted overtly monarchical aspirations and affectations, including by invocation and endorsement of theories that he is above the law or that his personal will constitutes the law.
By these actions and others, he has demonstrated his character is marked by every act which may define a tyrant, and thus he is unfit to the government of a free People. He has shown, beyond a reasonable doubt, his continuance in office is wholly incompatible with maintaining the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land. He manifests daily his hostility and betrayal toward the rule of law, the sovereignty of the People, and any limits or constraints on his own power. He has sought to replace, in purpose and effect, the sacred oath of loyalty to the Constitution with an oath of loyalty to himself personally, and to his absolute, unchecked, despotic power.
In all of this, Donald J. Trump has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and his oath to the Constitution of the United States, and has committed the High Crime and Misdemeanor of attempting to establish himself as a lawless tyrant, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Donald J. Trump, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
BUT, how will the US Supreme Court's "law for the ages" new immunity for official acts figure into even prosecuting an Impeachment.
Will each Article of Impeachment have to be ruled on by SCOTUS to see if 1 Elected Person in the whole of USA cannotbe charged with breaking our Laws?
What a mess the US Supreme Court has made! I think a huge demonstration in front of Supreme Court when they are in session is needed NOW!
These corrupt, partisan lifetime judges must feel some of the anxiety, fear for the loss of a predictable, peaceful lives.
Powerful, wealthy, connected people feel so disconnected from the reality of 350M Americans they ignore the damage they inflicit on our law/order, democratic republic.
This is a wonderful piece of work. I may copy it and send it to my MOCs but they happen to totally support doing all these things that are reasons for impeachment and if they are not doing one of them this might give them an idea of something else they can do to destroy democracy in the US.
This is awesome! I have been thinking about what Trump(Heritage Society/Anarchist/Putin/ oligarchs, Billionaires etc etc) really working towards and think we're missing the forest for the trees!
Playbook:
Destabilize America on multiple levels(economic, judicial, global reputation, morality, public safety and legislatively and divide the country and conquer all)
Step 1- recession (as of today 90% possibility or we're there already
Step 2- start a war with some country(ies)(militarily and or trade war) Hmm... Are we there yet?
Step 3- Congress and the people neutered so no elections in 2026 because we're at war. President has to "lead" and take control enact whatever presidential acts necessary to stay in power unchecked!
I envision military deployments, upregulation of the American industrial and defense complexes, return of the Draft/Conscription and the internment of many Americans viewed as unacceptable(unpatriotic) Americans, annexation of international countries/lands. Deputizing of domestic white supremist militias(President's private SS) to patrol our streets and target and keep Americans in check. The taking of any personal wealth we may have(like the Nazis did with the Jews before they eradicated as many as the could) and for the enrichment of the malignant loyalist under the guise of national security and the good of the country.
History repeats (is repeating) itself and unfortunately many Americans remain blissfully ignorant and aren't willing to heed that little voice in their head saying, This is Not Normal!
I am TERRIFIED and remain 1 proud voter (out of 75,017,613)who listened to the rhetoric, saw the writing on the wall and DIDN'T drink the Kool aid!
Is there a way this can be amended to include actual examples of each action as well as his use of the office of president for personal gain and to endorse products like Tesla? One of the things I really don't like about trump is that he never gives specifics...yesterday he said 80 nations have come begging to him to negotiate the tariffs but he won't name them. He said he's gotten $2 billion in tariffs already but won't say from where or where that money has gone, and of course corporate media will not press him on any of these things. So I don't want to be like trump and I like to have concrete examples supported by facts.
He doesn't have specifics bec they didn't happen. Just one country caved in. And maybe the Penguins!! I've heard other numbers for tariffs collected. If a person has more than one story about something it is bec they are lying and did not remember their first stories. He wants everyone to think what he is doing is working when it is not . I think he just wants to line his pockets with the negotiations from other countries like the riches from Ukraine.
He said lots of people asked him to run for President-vague and no specifics BUT only Putin told him to run and Putin is his boss that knows DT well. He knows how stupid DT is and he can manipulate him, get him to do what he wants.
People are not buying things bec of the tariffs and uncertain income to support themselves. Like eggs so high you go without until you can afford to buy them. Money only stretches so far!! New clothes can wait and we can wear what we have. Holidays can be skipped until we can afford to splurge. Vacations-Staycations! Be imaginative!! Trump rarely has facts. His tariff chart was a joke. Other countries were not ripping off the USA. There was no fraud and waste in our government it was just an excuse to get into the government and rip us off and close the government. Firing the FAA showed how extremely stupid he was and he did it to himself. His kids should get him committed.
The Founders did make it so that impeachment is a political remedy, not a fact-based remedy. The resolution sets out the reasons for the impeachment and then it is up to the impeachment managers to prove it. This is just calling for a resolution, which is short.
Australian here Ben, been with you so long now it's hard to think of my days without your networks reporting on American news with real journalistic integrity. Standing by the American people but not this current administration. Applauding the people taking to the streets to fight to keep what is rightfully theirs.
I have to tell you when I was at the Hands Off March last weekend there was a guy with a sign that just said listen to Medias touch! I was like "I love those guys"!!
I’m going to use that on 4/19!!!
Hey congress. Be good citizens and pick up after your DOGE.
Great idea! And, if Elon's board dumps him there will be no one to pick him up. As a bonus? Trump will blame him for everything that's backfiring. Rubio will take a hit in the gut before it's over and done with.
They just haven't learned that anyone associated with tRump eventually goes down in flames. Just ask Rudy
Scammer troll. Reported
All dictators need to control the army. Make sure your family and friends in the military are well informed of the truth about the GOP fascist agenda and won't follow an illegal martial law order blindly.
The military need to remember what they took their oaths to. The what is to the people of our Republic and it's Constitution. It is my hope that rather than listening Hegseth and Trump that they instead listen to their brains and remember the importance of what their parents taught them while they were growing up to be Patriotic Americans knowing right from wrong and the importance of family, friends and neighbors
Scam alert!
Me too! We have so many things we can say about this regime, but we need to spread the word about the Medias Touch Network! Don't forget to get out there on 4/19. Let's have an even larger turn out this time!
Our rally too,A guy drove through with a MTN sign, I couldn’t believe it, I yelled we love Meidas !
MTN represents Facts and Truth. Opposite of republicans and their networks
Congratulations! #MeidasMightyStrong
Meidas is the only source of information I trust! Very glad you’re doing everything you can to keep us informed 💙💙💙
Glenn Kirschner and Brian Tyler Cohen also will not steer you wrong.
...and The Bulwark, Robert Reich's Substack, Scott Dworkin, and Democracy Docket...there are more and more...an entire network is being built, which makes it more difficult for the regime to focus on one opposition party only!
And Steve Schmidt, Charlie Sykes, and Jason Easley.
MOST DEFINITELY…… we definitely have some independent people we can go and listen to for the facts/the truth. We just gotta keep pushing them into the algorithm. Make sure you are liking every video, every post, subscribe and share💙
FACTS💯💙💙🔥
They are my BROS💯💪🏽🥹💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I am so grateful MTN for fighting the right fight, the good fight. Thank you for helping me keep my mind positive and prepared.💙🙏🏽
Thank you for all of your hard work. The American people will rise to meet the challenges and overcome them. 💪🏻🇺🇸

When you call do you reach a person or leave a voicemail? I've never tried before so I was wondering
I do both. So many people are calling in, it is seldom you will speak with a human being. That doesn’t matter really unless you have unique unusual comment. For instance, thousands of calls are coming in to oppose the SAVE ACT or the current topic on the floor of House or Senate. The number of calls are counted! So every time you call, whether you leave a message or not, your call is counted. Calling your own State representatives at their state office locations usually will be answered by a human. Be nice, they are probably volunteers working or even paid, they are not remotely going to influence the decisions in the legislature. They will not saying anything accept your comment will be added thank you for calling. The main number for the WHITE HOUSE Switchboard 202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414. A Human will asked who You want to speak with so know that person, usually those from your home state or who is advancing the bill you are specifically concerned about OR for you want to thank! Just an YFI, you can watch Congress in Session live on C Span 2. It can be as interesting a watching paint dry or complete chaos or so stupid to be maddening. Whatever your interest or talent please peacefully RESIST NOW, waiting to vote in 2026 is the same as beating a dead horse and expecting it to win the trophy.
Great thoughtful answer! Thank you and thanks for the white house numbers!!! Very helpful

CONGRESS IS ELECTED TO SERVE THAT OUR WILL BE DONE- NOT CORPORATE MEDIA, NOT OLIGARCHS, NOT FACIST WANT TO BE DICTATORS. DEVOTE EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY TO PEACEFULLY YET BOLDLY WITH COURAGE TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. ACT! RESIST! AMERICANS ARE NOT LOSERS AND SUCKERS. WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT ALLOW TRAITORS, TERRORISTS OR DRAFT DODGERS (Musk dodged in South AFRICA!) TO DISMANTLE OUR NATION!!!!
May be deja vu all over again. https://alternativefundinsight.com/how-next-us-treasury-secretary-once-broke-the-bank-of-england/
Peaceful RESISTANCE IN YOUR OWN HOME CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. THE OLIGARCHS HAVE NO IDEA YET THAT THEY JUST SHOOK A HORNET’S NEST.
How bout a week-long boycott of evrything? Amazon etc. That wud shut down the country an F up their playbook..but..I am not an economist..where is Paul when I need him??!!
They just won’t. You’re wasting energy hoping to have that happen.
I'm a lifelong Democrat. I never thought I would say this, but we absolutely need Republicans in this hour. Both parties have to join forces as one against this orange stain in our history. Yes, it's that bad.

1. Zero sum game. If someone lost $3 trillion, somebody else won it. IMHO Trump has surrounded himself with people who know how to short the market.
2. A few right wing Republicans are opposing him. Grassley has a bill that would remove his power to adjust tarriffs. A right-wing group with financial ties to Leonard Leo and the Koch network, the New Civil Liberties Alliance sued, claiming that Trump’s decision to invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not give him the power to “usurp” Congress’s right to control tariffs or “upset the Constitution’s separation of powers.” https://newrepublic.com/post/193612/donald-trump-lawsuit-tariffs-far-right-group
3. He now is at odds with Musk, who is recommending a tariff free zone, the US and EU.
4. We can take advantage. Read Feathers of Hope. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/
Only takes 3 Republican House members to kick it off.
Yes, a Bill to stop tariffs etc. but President trump will veto it and then the Congress has to override his veto with a vote of 2/3's of House and Senate.
If a King, dictator controls the enforcement of laws, the military, has enough power to force businesses, people to obey under his threats and abuse of power, it takes millions of people to RESIST, push back, disobey.
No one is coming to save us! We the People must sacrifice, persist, RESIST, remember the nation We the People envisioned through the Constitution, a Union for a law/order democratic republic.
We the People are the only ones who can save 240+ yrs. of suffering, dying, working, voting, fighting for a "more perfect Union." There was always HOPE and the MEANS to change our society, lives.
Now, it seems abuse of power, wealth, threats, propaganda, corruption controls our taxpaid governments.
Tariffs will give governments revenue and impoverish the "liitle people" with no power until they are dependent on the wealthy passing crumbs to them.
Tariffs may replace income taxes and will become a reason for tax cuts for the wealthy.
This is an old, transparent way to seize control of government, a country and millions of people. It never ends well for the People. Let's get BUSY!
NOW!
You have not checked out Feathers of Hope.....
The main reason Trump has problems within the Republican Party is national security. This merely compounds his weakness.
The Orange Donable Lector Cult will sadly drink the Orange Kool-Aid when Comb-Over gives the order. Their souls have been sold to Satan and have sacrificed their lives in order to "get the Libs." Hatred and racism rules their Fox News\trailerpark lives. Go No Contact.
Negativity reduces strength.
Many of them were put into office by MAGA in the first place, so they support the installation of neofascism in the US, which by definition means taking away Congress as the beating heart of the government and giving it a merely advisory role (as Vance tweeted).
So now, it's urgently time to finally give up on the GOP altogether!
Republicans are magots also.
The fight to preserve democracy is a matter of life and death principle. If democracy dies in this country, there will be no free will for the people, it’s like prison all your days.
Take our country back is the only solution!
Meidas Touch is the new Voice of America. The Meidas Mighty continues to gain momentum. Don’t comply! Resist!
Keep it up Ben and brothers. I’ve enjoyed listening to you since 2021. You’re better than ever. Thank you for all you do.
We are with you all the way. Independent, fact based news and information is our only hope.
Have y'all seen this: https://www.citizensimpeachment.com/ AKA Operation Anti-King
A former senate COS is running a project to get every representative in the USA to comment on whether they support impeachment, and they've even drafted Articles of Impeachment. I wrote out to my MoC and I'm waiting for a reply as part of the project. Here's their draft first Article of Impeachment:
Article of Impeachment
H. RES _____
RESOLVED, that Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:
ARTICLE I: TYRANNY
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Donald J. Trump has committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors, in that:
He has, by his actions and statements, sought to establish himself as tyrant, dictator, and autocrat over the People of the United States, usurping unto himself the constitutional powers of Congress, the courts, and the States, and powers illegitimate and beyond the scope of lawful government altogether.
He has claimed for himself absolute and arbitrary power, the ability to suspend laws at whim, and utterly disregarded and betrayed his oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to free and fair elections, including by bribery of voters, fraud and extortion of election officials, harassment and intimidation of election workers, and unconstitutionally ordering interference with the lawful administration of elections.
He has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to freedom of speech, and of assembly, and to petition the government for redress of grievances, by embarking on a wide-ranging censorship campaign to punish his political opponents, chill opposition, and illegally retaliate against constitutionally protected speech, association, and expression.
He has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to due process of law and equal protection of the laws, to fair and impartial independent courts, and to legal counsel as secured by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments.
He has sought to intimidate and coerce, by means including the threat of unlawful prosecutions and by encouraging violence and threats of violence, the Representatives and Senators in Congress.
He has repeatedly and intentionally threatened the Nation’s closest neighbors, allies, and friends with invasion, conquest, and annexation by military force, in violation of the constitutionally binding treaty obligations of the United States, and to the extraordinary detriment of national security and foreign relations, and constituting the “supreme international crime” of aggression.
He has denied and violated the separation of powers and the Constitution’s system of checks and balances, arrogating unto himself the legislative and judicial powers, including the power of Congress to levy taxes, appropriate public funds, direct the organization of officers and agencies of the executive branch, and to make laws.
He has sought to intimidate, coerce, and extort the officers of the several States, including those elected by the People thereof, and thereby sought to commandeer the several States, in violation of their sovereignty and the system of federalism established by the Constitution of the United States.
He has repeatedly and openly stated he intends to violate the presidential term limits established by the Twenty-Second Amendment, and adopted overtly monarchical aspirations and affectations, including by invocation and endorsement of theories that he is above the law or that his personal will constitutes the law.
By these actions and others, he has demonstrated his character is marked by every act which may define a tyrant, and thus he is unfit to the government of a free People. He has shown, beyond a reasonable doubt, his continuance in office is wholly incompatible with maintaining the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land. He manifests daily his hostility and betrayal toward the rule of law, the sovereignty of the People, and any limits or constraints on his own power. He has sought to replace, in purpose and effect, the sacred oath of loyalty to the Constitution with an oath of loyalty to himself personally, and to his absolute, unchecked, despotic power.
In all of this, Donald J. Trump has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and his oath to the Constitution of the United States, and has committed the High Crime and Misdemeanor of attempting to establish himself as a lawless tyrant, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Donald J. Trump, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
I’m in! How do we make sure this works this time? It can’t fail, or we are all done!
BUT, how will the US Supreme Court's "law for the ages" new immunity for official acts figure into even prosecuting an Impeachment.
Will each Article of Impeachment have to be ruled on by SCOTUS to see if 1 Elected Person in the whole of USA cannotbe charged with breaking our Laws?
What a mess the US Supreme Court has made! I think a huge demonstration in front of Supreme Court when they are in session is needed NOW!
These corrupt, partisan lifetime judges must feel some of the anxiety, fear for the loss of a predictable, peaceful lives.
Powerful, wealthy, connected people feel so disconnected from the reality of 350M Americans they ignore the damage they inflicit on our law/order, democratic republic.
This is a wonderful piece of work. I may copy it and send it to my MOCs but they happen to totally support doing all these things that are reasons for impeachment and if they are not doing one of them this might give them an idea of something else they can do to destroy democracy in the US.
This is awesome! I have been thinking about what Trump(Heritage Society/Anarchist/Putin/ oligarchs, Billionaires etc etc) really working towards and think we're missing the forest for the trees!
Playbook:
Destabilize America on multiple levels(economic, judicial, global reputation, morality, public safety and legislatively and divide the country and conquer all)
Step 1- recession (as of today 90% possibility or we're there already
Step 2- start a war with some country(ies)(militarily and or trade war) Hmm... Are we there yet?
Step 3- Congress and the people neutered so no elections in 2026 because we're at war. President has to "lead" and take control enact whatever presidential acts necessary to stay in power unchecked!
I envision military deployments, upregulation of the American industrial and defense complexes, return of the Draft/Conscription and the internment of many Americans viewed as unacceptable(unpatriotic) Americans, annexation of international countries/lands. Deputizing of domestic white supremist militias(President's private SS) to patrol our streets and target and keep Americans in check. The taking of any personal wealth we may have(like the Nazis did with the Jews before they eradicated as many as the could) and for the enrichment of the malignant loyalist under the guise of national security and the good of the country.
History repeats (is repeating) itself and unfortunately many Americans remain blissfully ignorant and aren't willing to heed that little voice in their head saying, This is Not Normal!
I am TERRIFIED and remain 1 proud voter (out of 75,017,613)who listened to the rhetoric, saw the writing on the wall and DIDN'T drink the Kool aid!
I
Is there a way this can be amended to include actual examples of each action as well as his use of the office of president for personal gain and to endorse products like Tesla? One of the things I really don't like about trump is that he never gives specifics...yesterday he said 80 nations have come begging to him to negotiate the tariffs but he won't name them. He said he's gotten $2 billion in tariffs already but won't say from where or where that money has gone, and of course corporate media will not press him on any of these things. So I don't want to be like trump and I like to have concrete examples supported by facts.
He doesn't have specifics bec they didn't happen. Just one country caved in. And maybe the Penguins!! I've heard other numbers for tariffs collected. If a person has more than one story about something it is bec they are lying and did not remember their first stories. He wants everyone to think what he is doing is working when it is not . I think he just wants to line his pockets with the negotiations from other countries like the riches from Ukraine.
He said lots of people asked him to run for President-vague and no specifics BUT only Putin told him to run and Putin is his boss that knows DT well. He knows how stupid DT is and he can manipulate him, get him to do what he wants.
People are not buying things bec of the tariffs and uncertain income to support themselves. Like eggs so high you go without until you can afford to buy them. Money only stretches so far!! New clothes can wait and we can wear what we have. Holidays can be skipped until we can afford to splurge. Vacations-Staycations! Be imaginative!! Trump rarely has facts. His tariff chart was a joke. Other countries were not ripping off the USA. There was no fraud and waste in our government it was just an excuse to get into the government and rip us off and close the government. Firing the FAA showed how extremely stupid he was and he did it to himself. His kids should get him committed.
The Founders did make it so that impeachment is a political remedy, not a fact-based remedy. The resolution sets out the reasons for the impeachment and then it is up to the impeachment managers to prove it. This is just calling for a resolution, which is short.
They also need a famous Psychiatrist to call out his Dementia and Psychotic behavior to have him removed from office because he is unfit!
You guys actually give us ALL some sense of HOPE and I truly THANK YOU 🙏
I have been a paid subscriber and proud of it. We need you. How else can paid subscribers help?
Thank you MeidasTouch for not joining the Lamestream Media in their push to Crush American Democracy in favor of the Musk/tRump Fascist movement!!!
LFG! Loved the Corey Booker interview.
I actually think people are more energized.
Australian here Ben, been with you so long now it's hard to think of my days without your networks reporting on American news with real journalistic integrity. Standing by the American people but not this current administration. Applauding the people taking to the streets to fight to keep what is rightfully theirs.
Thank you Ben I needed to hear this !
