As much as it's going to suck paying for the mistakes of maga, I am impressed with Canada's precision hits on Red States with some of their key exports. Again it's gonna suck, but it's refreshing to see some countries show a spine to the felon.
Although if Canada stops electric energy to the US, New York state is included and New York is a blue state. At any rate, I support whatever Canada and Mexico do. It is going to hurt all of us including Canadians but the orange clown and his minions have to be stopped. I became an American citizen in 2017 for my veteran husband and because I believed in the Constitution and democracy. Now I am fighting for my husband who passed in 2024 and my children and grandchildren.
Yes. Right now those countries and province are targeting the red states. I am support of us Americans suffering. I’m in NY and I know Canada is sensitive to the weather for all upper states. We have each other 💐 I’m so sorry for your loss.
Laura and her advert have just been sh*tcanned. Trolls and scammers are everywhere. So long as The Meidas Mighty spots them and reports them their "shelf life" will be ID'd. Poster and link will Blocked.
Building supplies are once again going to go through the roof as Canada is our largest supplier of wood, and fuel. Gasoline will likely go up 25% within the next week. Bet on it. Whomever is going to run from the Dem side should be preparing right now to unseat that slob come 2028, if he lasts that long.
I don’t think he’ll make it until 2026. He looks aawwffuuul ( and by that I mean worse than usual). I think a major cardiovascular event or something less natural will take him out before then. Who/what will be running the country after that could be worse, unfortunately.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I saw that lumber shortage coming, not to mention labor shortage. I dumped my two homebuilder stocks last week. I also dumped all retail-related investments. I thought I had a bit more time before the tariff war starts. I didn't expect it to be this quick. Tomorrow will be a bloodbath. It's hard to tell which sector is safe in this irrational decision-making environment.
I'm retired. Elon Musk hijacked my Social Security and now my investments could get hit too. 😟
Waiting is what got us to this point in time! Pussyfooting around him was a grave (pun intended) mistake. Now is the time to use every protection and cure the Constitution provides.
Trump is a clear and present danger to America and the World. "Neutralize the threat" must be our focus. We want a "10-4" on this beast and his appointees.
He's not going to last four years. The 25th Amendment should put his reign of terror out of business. We also need to see to it Musk is deported. We are a mighty nation. We will not suffer more from Trump and his cult members. The resistance is strong and growing by the second, hour and, the day!
Yes! Musk is in it for his own interests!! He bought the Donald! Like AOC said. Review Elons gov contracts!". He has made a fortune off of us! I bet Musk had some misappropriation of gov. Contract funds!! Some go to Donalds LIEbrary!??
I just hope that we’ll still be able to have a free and fair election come 2028. All the assholes trying to undo our government aren’t going to leave just like that for the Dems to try to piece things back together.
They have a plan, we need to expose every move every time!! That's what made Donald back down with his tariffs!! He has to be perceived with a win. Nope the counter measure would have put us in or in the verge of a stock marked crash depression!! Red States would have been hardest hit!!
Research: The Hegelian Dialectic and The Fourth Turn. Fascinating insight into the lay of the land. Also, review Hitler's daydreams and how he planned to bring them to fruition. Trump is not an intelligent being. He is a blubbering idiot easily moved by a fake compliment and greed.
I expect his homies to turn on him once it becomes evident the USA is not going anywhere away from our Democracy. It'll be rats off the ship first.
The problem MAGA has is they've nowhere to go when their schemes fail--and they will fail--leaving Dumbo alone to face the music all by himself. Those who openly supported him (family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances) will seek refuge and sympathy from those of us who called Trump out for the snake he's always been.
yes including the 1200 and 200 that were in jail J6, they feel obligated to follow the conald... and they will maybe they will be the new fed employees he's been looking for loyalists so?
Yes I agree! But? Not all! I'm a reg. Republican but have been voting straight blue for a few years now! I think that messes with them! Many around where I live have mainly highschool, so not very good critical thinkers? I had to stop my PHD efforts when the Donald cut the funding from the VA in half! Yep he attacked education his last term in office too!!
Send letters to Congressional REPUBLICANS! Ask Sen. Tim Scott whether the elimination of DEI is really the elimination of Blacks from government.
Same for Representative Byron Donalds of Florida, Representative Burgess Owens of Utah. Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas, and Representative John James of Michigan about the rejection of DEI as a pretext to discriminate on the basis of race.
How can they be Republicans?
Didn't they hear that the plane crash was caused by DEI? Did that mean the boogeyman did it?
We have three (3) Batistiano MAGATs here in Baghdad By the Sea, representing a Democratic majority electorate. Cubanos also happen to be beneficiaries of DEI. Some are Black.
Trump would send 30,000 deportees to Git-mo, which, even to MAGAT Cubans, should not be in US hands.
I keep sayin' that one size does not fit all. We need all kinds of Democrats. Biden and especially Bernie Sanders said stuff that was taken here to support a totalitarian dictatorship and the word on the street was that Harris was a communist. We could not rebut it. Due to effective psy ops, even Democrats voted for Trump.
Same should go for Republican members who oppose a Russian takeover. MAGA Mike Johnson fired the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, Ohio congressman Mike Turner, who supported Ukraine. How many others strongly oppose Russian imperialism?
His last term in office should have been his last term IMHO. The idiots who put him back in the driver's seat FAFO. Let's see if they join the resistance. Also, I'm wondering about job prospects for the freed JAN6 thugs.
They are in for difficult days ahead; "Like nobody's seen before," one of Frankenstein Trump's favorite expressions. He is a liar, an adulterer, a convicted felon, and a predator of the highest order.
As his one time friend Howard Stern said "he needs a mental health Councilor". As I Psych Nurse level 3 step 8? I think he is admitable to a locked Adult Unit! Donald Is a risk to self or.otbers!! Due to his history of a 34 time convicted Felon? He may fit the Criteria for a locked Forensic criminally insane!! Tell me why not?
There are a lot of people in New York, when we shut down the flow of electricity to New York, that will help get the attention of tRumps Game, sooner rather than later, it’s COLD out there
I think it sounds good but I'm not really in favor of bearing his actions while he is golfing all day executive time!! I'd sooner rather stop and pick up some rotten oranges not picked due to iasis.cleaning and dump the load upwind Doral! Or just park it there for a hot sun day
I hear ya. I'm a North Country Democrat myself. It's frustrating as hell tho. And the reason I'm a tiny blue dot in Clinton County is because I moved to Champlain for two yrs before moving to Canada. So my last U.S. address is where I'm stuck voting.🫤
Yes we did. And they live next door to me. High school not critical thinkers, their Hill Folk trailer trash!! I don't think they see it yet actually!! Prices go up might help with that!!
Yes, Ma'am, you're right. Trump and his gang of thieves will not be permitted to overthrow the USG. His EO's are going to be rendered null and void due to the legal pushback and the tenacity of MTN and the Meidas Touch Community.
He may think he's home free but, he isn't. What he may want to consider is his stupid move on the FAA and the Air Traffic Controllers. Otherwise, the next air tragedy is likely to be him. Hopefully, his current and future flight plans will be "lost in the shuffle."
As stupid as he is it's highly likely he's already shot himself in the foot (figuratively speaking.)
It's been a frustrating month for Canadians. I've been feeling totally betrayed by your country. Like a best friend stabbing you in the back. I just joined Bluesky two days ago to stop supporting that asslicker Zuckerman. It makes me feel so much better to read these comments by Americans supporting Canada. Nice to know we still have allies. Now please go complain about these idiotic tariffs to your members of Congress.
I agree! Extremely hopeful the rest of the world lines up behind Canada and Mexico in unity to fight off this bully and put him in his place. Thank You! The costs will be painful, but if the world backs down, then they just green lighted this monster. I hope they don't. I'm sorry for those who voted for Kamala, but those who voted for MAGA... FAFO. However, we will welcome you back whenever you wake up! (except my sister)
Even though I live in a red state, I, too, am impressed with Canada's precision hits on Red States with some of their key exports. It won't be good to live in a red state, but then again it hasn't been for some time. Think Ryan Walters.
I am enjoying the retaliation from Mexico and Canada. We are going to suffer tremendously where I live, but, the people around me put us in this position. The only MAGAt who I worry about is my Mama and Daddy. 84 and 86, he has Alzheimers and is a 24 year Veteran. Everything they live off of comes from his pension and veteran benefits, they will suffer.
Agreed. I’m in North Carolina so I’m preparing for the pain but I stand with Canada. Watching the world stand up to FOTUS has given me the smallest shred of hope.
Also in NC, Asheville area. As if the hurricane wasn't enough, now this.
At least there was still FEMA to help at the time. If it happened this week can you imagine? Funds are now being cut off to Habitat and other federal helping agencies
I guess if there are any slivers of silver linings in this shit show, that’s one of them. Had it happened now… I’m terrified to imagine how much worse it would be.
I live in eastern NC in a very red town - I feel like chicken little. I sell building materials (work should be interesting this week) and Habitat is one of our customers. I hadn’t even thought of them yet - I wonder how this will affect their current projects?
There was an article in Asheville Citizen Times, various agencies here very worried. Yes it will be like the poisonous strands of a jellyfish...impacting just about everyone if he isn't stopped.
We are in our 70s retired, depending on VA benefits and Fed retirement benefits...not to mention Medicare...things about to get really ugly for all of us. We feel trapped here
We feel trapped as well. Mid 40s, three kids 10 15 and 17 (one a girl), two incomes but not enough for any kind of savings. We can’t afford to get out so we are settling in and preparing for the worst. I can’t imagine the unease you must feel, and my heart hurts for you. I hope you at least have a strong support community around you?
Nope. We ain't waiting for nobody's rock bottom. The Resistance is active and growing daily. Trump's time in office has an expiration date and it's sooner than 2028. He just doesn't know it yet.
I am reading very little news - too upsetting. I do read most of MeidasTouch and always Ron Filipkowski headline newsletter. So, forgive me. I take it Canada and Mexico have instigated tariffs that directly affect Red States more than Blue States? Yes? How soon before those states start feeling the pain? Do the MAGAS even understand what's happening?
Cindy, our Prime Minister announced $150 Billion in retaliatory tariffs targeting red states (🇨🇦we never asked for a trade-war but Trump forced our hand - Canadians will defend ourselves, sorry/not sorry). A portion of or retaliatory tariffs go into effect on Tuesday…the bulk of them go into effect 3 weeks later, to give our industries time to find new markets for our goods. We are also looking at ways to terminate procurement agreements and contracts with the US, and will start excluding the US in future procurement deals for the things Canada needs. And Canadians were urged to boycott American goods and services and start supporting Canadian and local businesses wherever possible, and start choosing to travel in Canada rather than into the US. It’s so sad it’s come to this, but here we all are. 😞🦫🍁🇨🇦
Who are we kidding, if someone doesn’t grow a set and do something about Prez Musk, he will just take blue state funds and give them to all the maga moron states.
In his dreams. The MTN and The Meidas Mighty are Frump's worst nightmare. And, as his appointees and supporters continue to misstep we aren't missing any opportunity to pounce and deflate the orange buffoon.
Legacy media is dying a slow agonizing death. They don't appear to be aware of their impending demise. All credibility is lost. They are no longer reporting the news. They are an extension of a stupid egotistical criminally insane pretender to the throne. All fall down? It's already beginning to happen.
Recieved and understood, here's hoping the EU may target with accuracy, the States with apparent disregard of the people and their constution. But there's no way Britain and the EU will be enabling an insurrection to destroy our ally.
Enjoying the MAGATS now complaining about Trump betraying them. "I voted for you," claimed one (Hispanics For Trump) after is wife was collared and deported. He and others like him are collateral damage as far as Dumpty and Moron Musk are concerned.
I read yesterday that a Canadian politician proposed a 100% tariff on Teslas. Is there any way that we can let Canada know that we support this and that they should go ahead with it? And is there any other way that we can show our support for Canada and for Mexico?
We need to start a boycott here in the U.S. and not just Tesla. Companies are getting away with caving to Trump/Musk, because they can. But the most important thing to companies is their customer base. I don't know all the companies that are caving and those standing up to Trump and a single boycotter is not effective. We need a website (created by MeidasTouch?) that lists the companies that are caving on DEI, etc. and doing worse things along with those who are not caving. Remember the Bud Light boycott? Budweiser was not happy. We need to advertise the number of people supporting the boycotts. We need to go online and say we are supporting the boycotts. That's something easy all of us can do. I'm one of the ones that cancelled my subscriptions to the NYT and WaPo and lots of others did too. We also need to return to MSNBC (which I have done). Enough with pouting (which I did) and time to return to action and supporting those companies and media organizations that are doing the right thing.
People need to march! Walk off the jobs, Bring the country to a standstill! How soon will those who voted for the felon hurt enough to stand against the felon??
Yes agree! But remember Musk fired the ones that tried that at his Tesla plant! Donald will hit the unions I bet like he did last time! Last time he neutralized afge and the seiu! He will try it again. Oh then gut the eeoc for fed employees making a stand! Yep
If we know someone who was fired unfairly, we could help them out by making sure they have food. If you are financially able to help with bills, then do that. Don't let people suffer because they stood up to the evil ones, I want them to know they aren't alone.
yes! I was also thinking of our Canadian Friends that the Donald wants to break, ha ha on my Moms side of the family there is a blood line of Scotch Whisky smugglers? yep McCleod Clan I've been told.. I don't mind mailing care packages to my friends in Cananda
Love your spunk! TO Medias suggestion on DEI is a great start. Keep up with suggestions Nancy. I cancelled Amazon membership, weakened and reopened. Will cancel today. Why don't you start a Resistance Substack?
You can do it. I cancelled my Prime membership and I will boycott anyone that supports tRump and his maga toadies. From now on, my shopping will begin with ‘Are you a tRump supporter?’ and if the answer is yes, I say bye. If no, I say BUY.
I am just a "bookish" university professor/engineer who never even did social media until after this election (one of the few people on Earth who never had a Facebook or Twitter account). I have no idea how to start a Substack. But I will work with and support others.
Look for the "Goods Unite Us" app in both Apple and Android. Use your dollars to support the businesses that support you are your values. It has been an amazing tool in divesting from maga funding companies.
Also, has anyone else noticed that dumpf appears to be reading from a script when he’s doing news conferences now? That’s what makes me think that musk is writing the script.
It's either Musk or Miller. Trump is illiterate, prideful and ignorant. He can't put a sentence together as evidenced by his word salad nonsensical statements and responses to reporters questions. He cannot "fly" without a script.
Who gives a shit. Let him. We, the Americans, ALLOWED HIM TO GIVE HIMSELF HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF OUR DOLLARS. (not sure HOW that wasn’t stopped to begin with) That wealth belongs to us - the working class! And we do care about EQUITY. Many Americans totally support Canada’s response to tariffs and hate Trump and Musk.
Yeah, but think of the money of the attorneys will make and trying to win that argument. We need to focus on musk. He’s pulling Donald strings and if we don’t start focusing more on what he’s doing in the background, we’re gonna be in even more shit.
Think it is time to even things up don't you? In business they have groups that go on different projects.
What if we the people fight back the same way? Start a business to go after the corporate groups each targeting Republicans that are kissing the ring. It's an idea!
Orange turd can’t think for himself. Musk is pulling his strings and telling him what to say. Dumpf doesn’t know how to think for himself. There’s somebody else that’s got more pull and that has to be musk.
Frankly, he appears to be Stoned or half Drunk now, every time we see him. I cannot help but remember an episode of “Star Trek”, when they find that a former college professor has started a new Nazi state on his new planet, mainly because his immediate advisors drugged him and gave him a script to follow so THEY could take over. Far Fetched? I don’t think so. I know a stoner when I see one.
I honestly think that his dementia is getting worse. Have you noticed that when he talks, his speech is flat and monotone? And your analogy to that Star Trek episode is very appropriate. Not far fetched at all. Musk is the puppeteer pulling the Felon's strings.
Someone should start a class action against Musk Rat meddling with the FAA, and Airline Safety Board he helped Gut! Musk Rat is not above the law like Donald is! 67 people are no longer with us due to Musk wanting to avoid a FFA 600k lawsuit! And Threatening 180 senators to vote to de-fund the FAA or they will be primarried? Elon should have jail time for what he did! His actions is why 67 are no longer here!! He has no guilt! Nor does Conald!!
You're right! That's why China got a tariff discount! The entire thing is absurd! I'm convinced Donald and Musk are now feeding their personality disorders with our annoyed remarks!! Or
hey Don Jr? Tell Daddy we wanna see his medical records! Including what you helped him with at the PA. Hospital ER? You know where the top of his ear was shot off and he stopped bleeding in a few minutes?? Was that because of the mcdonalds happy meals? Or that's the reason the bullet trajectory on his right cheek disapeared?
What meds are you taking out from the Whitehouse pharmacy? Dads still taking Ambien for sleep and a stimulant for the day?
I also want our Canadian immigration office to rescind and burn🔥 Musk’s Canadian Citizenship and passport ASAP. He is the antithesis of Canadian values and his complicity in the orange felon’s expansionist agenda is traitorous against Canada🦫🍁🇨🇦.
I think it’s great that Canada and these other countries are standing up to Trump so as a Democrat, my question is when is the Democrat party going to stand up to Trump in a way that really matters and not just lip service?
Alas. Democrats have no authority to order the military to do anything. The Republicans own the House, the Senate and the Presidency, as well as the Supreme Court.
That’s why you have to start working on the republicans in the senate and house. The majorities are slim. Surely you can put enough pressure on a handful of them to vote with the Dems.
Well I hear Susan Collins is concerned. Sorry. I don't expect anything from the republicans. I believe we need to continue to put pressure on the Dems in Congress. Maybe enough will wake up to the reality that this is not the old republican party - which frankly wasn't that great to begin with. And I am not talking Lincoln's Republican Party.
Still, Republicans need to hear from all voters so they understand how broad and deep is the resistance. Republicans who are aghast at what Trump is doing need to contact their representatives an Senators to say they will not vote for them in 2026.
We ALL need to speak out against the illegal AND unethical AND unconstitutional things this rogue and reckless president is allowing to happen, right in plain sight. People need to communicate (free speech) to be heard.
That’s what I want to know. When do the Democrats start a resistance ? I haven’t seen anything yet that even comes close to the uprising that happened after George Floyd was murdered on live TV. The courts aren’t going to help. They’re all in Trump’s back pocket too.
Good question. Their silence is deafening. Could it be they're in an embarrassing spot because if the speak out they're offending the corporations and these same corporations have been putting cash in the Dems pockets. We're seeing a one party system. The party of MONEY! (Chomsky)
As a Canadian, I have little influence on your elected officials, but I can help by voting for politicians here willing to stand up to the psychotic regime you currently have and speak out against the bootlickers. And I continue to do my bit by restacking relevant articles on here. It’s not much but every little bit helps.
Fuckwad indeed. This is a leader who sits down for an interview with Jordan Peterson while running away from political reporters covering the hill. So many of us are hoping what’s going on south of our border hurts him. He’s been deafeningly silent lately.
You’re doing something helpful right now. Uplifting MeidasMTN stories does reach a Canadian audience. Their coverage of progressive voices like Charlie Angus and Justin Trudeau helps counter some of our mainstream Conservative cheerleaders. And don’t get upset if you hear hockey fans booing your anthem. It’s aimed at Trump & Co. Many of us know we’re in this fight together with our American brethren.
THANK YOU Anna, I am heartened in these dark days by how much selfless people like yourself from all over the world are standing in unity with us. It gives me hope that there are millions who care about humanity all over the world. Frankly I am disgusted by 50% of our population, but still hold on to the hope that that number is a lie too!
🔸️NONE of the orange baby man's clown show would be happening if he was disqualified day one after forensic psychiatrist Dr Bandy X Lee's report of the FIVE DANGEROUS MENTAL PATHOLOGIES of Donald Trump.
🔸️The 1973 Goldwater Rule is obsolete. It said a public figure should be personally examined to diagnose. Today, social media continues to record thousands of hours of pathological behavior from the one foot tall orange baby man in diapers for all to see. No personal examination needed.
🔸️Voters.DEMAND mentally fit leadership. It is the sacred duty of Senate leadership to protect American voters from dangerous mentally unfit candidates and to prevent autocratic abuse.
"Stephen Xenakis-Fitness for Duty Exams: Preventing Autocratic Abuse"
These countries should aim directly at hurting red states as much as possible. Once they start undermining Trump’s base, watch him cave in as his cult base slowly gets squeezed dry
He doesn't care about them. He never did. All he wanted from them was their votes. He said so. So now that he is in office, he is just casting them aside like he does everyone else who is no longer useful to him. The question is - how long will it take for them to realize that they were suckered?
This is why I'm hoping the tariff effect hits hard and fast. That will be the time to hit them with the reality. I did today in my red state grocery after paying 20% more for an item, stating that there would be more to come and I had nothing to do with it.
When we go to pay for items that have been affected by these tariffs, we must loudly complain about why this happened and put the blame where it belongs. Seriously, who can defend these tariffs? We must be loud and proud! I know that I am. I was at Trader Joe's a few days ago when a friend called and we were bitching about the Felon. I made sure that my voice was loud enough for people around me to hear. I did not give one flying fuck who heard me say that people who voted for the Felon were idiots. And I will continue to do this.
The fact that an unelected, unconfirmed billionaire who has government contracts is controlling our payment systems is absurd and dangerous. Why aren't the other billionaires, I'm looking at you Jeff Bezos, saying something? They have competing contracts. Why aren't our senators raising hell? I have written to my senators (Red senators in a bright red state) often and told them they have an awesome responsibility as very special people (1 in 100 people out of 330 Million) to govern and it's time they DO THEIR JOB! The overreach by President Musk and his puppet Trump is astounding. It's dangerous. It's vile. There needs to be more of an outrage and an outcry by the people on this point. Stand up. Speak up. Rise up. Resist.
I am learning that any and all news concerning the recent two plane crashes, will only be released to X for distribution to the people in the United States. Anyone who has even a small amount of knowledge about the Nazi in Germany, recognize this as a means to control information. If anyone has any doubts about t/rump and the Rethugs moving us toward fascism, those doubts should be gone. We are facing a clear and present danger to our republic. It’s now time to resist in any way possible! This is why i subscribed to the Meidastouch. It’s a beacon of light in the very dark days of our republic.
The fact is that Trump potentially faced prison (or more large $$ judgments) and Musk was facing multiple government investigations (SpaceX safety issues among others) — so they had “a reason to commit fraud” (the election) [one element when considering fraud is pressure]; they also had the opportunity to commit fraud (known vulnerabilities in voting machines and data in transit could be exploited using mass collusion); finally, there is rationalization (just like an abusive life partner, they gaslight Americans who they regard as stupid into believing they are doing it for them — to make THEIR lives better)
Wake up, Americans (I’m no longer referring to Americans as Republicans, MAGA, Democrats, Independents, etc. I believe we need to be speaking to EVERYONE at this moment as “fellow Americans”!!!) and do not believe a con man, no matter what they promise you. A con is a con!
A con man is a con, except to anyone in his cult. The MAGA (Morons Are Gullible Assholes) movement is based on the cult of t/rumpism. Like every member in a cult, the trumpets do not believe they are being conned. Thanks to the saturation of our media with Reich wing propaganda, lies have become truths and truths have become lies.
Read what they’ve done to the Pentagon office and news outlets. You’re absolutely correct. We are on our own when it comes to getting accurate information.
Adam, I agree. Ever since General Millie’s portrait was removed and his security detail canceled, there must be s majority of those in the military who object to this retribution, and wish to respond. With a weasel sitting in the corner office at the pentagon, perhaps they can remove him, too.
Considering the Secretary of Defense is part of the incoming Nazi fascist regime, I would not count on any help from our current military. Regarding just civilians bringing an armed revolt, I am skeptical. I am skeptical because no matter how many weapons the civilian population has in the United States, going against our current military is a huge lift. I don’t know anyone with a weapon strong enough to stop Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters, F-16 and F-22 jets or a cruise missile. These are the type weapons a civilian revolt will face. Bottom line: the U.S. military is built to take on another super power. I don’t see them having much trouble handling an outright violent revolt by a bunch of civilians.
But will our military actually follow these illegal orders? The PCA outlaws the willful use of the military unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. I know they are shredding the constitution, but the military took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not a politician. If he does this, and declares martial law after the demonstrations start, he will then use an Executive Order to suspend the 2nd amendment and confiscate all guns. Dictators always disarm their citizens.
The military, like every profession, has people that are honorable and those that are dishonorable. The real hope we have in the military, is if the honorable people can control the dishonorable ones. Time will tell.
Well, of course, we will be out of coffee. Already the prices have risen. Trump doesn't give a FF. He doesn't drink coffee, and if he did, we would all be taxed more since we are the ones that pay for everything from his salary down to his socks. By the way, how much are Elon and his cronies being paid to raid the treasury on the backs of American-born taxpayers?
Currently at the airport and everything is canceled or delayed because they are inspecting planes thoroughly. Trump is a disaster and people are terrified to even travel.
Found this for you. CNN — Flights across the US could experience “residual delays” Sunday morning as the Federal Aviation Administration works to restore a critical warning system that experienced an outage Saturday night, according to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.
“The primary NOTAM system is experiencing a temporary outage, but there is currently no impact to the National Airspace System because a backup system is in place,” he wrote on X, adding that the agency activated contingency systems to continue flight operations.
“The (FAA) is working to fully restore the system, and there may be some residual delays tomorrow morning,” he wrote. “We are investigating the root cause and we will provide updates.” As of early Sunday morning, there were more than 360 delayed flights within, into or out of the US, and 59 cancellations, according to flight tracker FlightAware.
NOTAM, which stands for Notice to Air Missions, is a computer system that sends alerts to pilots about conditions that could affect the safety of their flights. That could include information about lights being out on a certain runway, or a tower near an airport not having the required safety lights working, or an air show taking place in the air space nearby.
I'm not so sure they will come to save us. Why should they after the way they've been treated by Trump? I just hope its one of the good ones who come to pick the bones after we're destroyed and not Russia or China.
I love everything you do but we need to do more. I read Heather Cox Richardson this morning and I am amazed there is not more backlash. He is creating a total disaster. Where are all of the elected officials (both dems and reps) and why aren't they screaming. Some are - like Chris Murphy. I know there are lots of lawyers like Mark Elias, etc working to stop things. I'm just worried that it will all be too late. I'm usually optimistic but I don't feel that way today. Keep up the great work - we need you.
I have mixed feelings about the Democrats reactions or lack thereof. I think that the Republicans are doing a great job of being hoisted on their own petard. The Democrats may be just sitting back watching Republicans implode without any help from them. I read that Jeffries has had meetings with Congressional Democrats on strategy but they are keeping their cards close to their chest. Look at it this way - Republicans can't blame anyone but themselves for what is going on. If the Democrats involve themselves in this clusterfuck, then Republicans, true to form, would skew things around and blame the Democrats. By sitting back and watching what is happening, Democrats know that Republicans can only blame themselves. It actually is a delicious thing to watch Republicans twisting in the wind. The shit is going to hit the fan even worse this week and things are going to get mighty interesting.
I agree. The Democrats need a plan for sure, especially not cooperating or compromising with Republicans. For example, when a vote is called, instead of saying yea or nay, they need to stand and say things like the following:
'I will not cooperate with this fascist government so I will not vote'.
'I will not participate in harming Americans so I cannot not vote for this bill.'
'This bill is illegal under the Constitution so I will not break the law by voting for it.'
'This bill undermines and attacks the Bill of Rights so I will not vote for it.'
'This proposed law will endanger the safety of people of colour (or immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ, or PW Disability, etc) so I cannot and will not vote for this bill.'
'The purpose of this bill is to exact revenge on the President's perceived enemies so in good conscience, I cannot vote for it.'
'This bill stands against every American value that has made this country great so I will not vote it.'
'This bill will irreparably harm the good standing of America in the world. I cannot and will not vote for it.'
'This bill benefits the enemies of America and our way life so I will not vote for it'.
'This bill has the potential to foster hate and violence. In good conscience, I cannot vote for it.'
'This bill proposed by the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight may have dangerous consequences.' LOL
That said, I feel it is not helpful to merely trash the Democrats. I think this has the potential to make people throw up their hands and just not act or vote. Rather, provide ideas for things they can do. Republicans control the presidency, House, Senate and the Supreme Court so what they can do in Congress is limited.
Excellent suggestions and an excellent post. Thank you. Is there any way to send this to our Democratic representatives? I live in Central CA so my rep is a Republican. But those who have Democratic representatives should copy and paste this and send it to them en masse.
If the results were purely economic and easy to connect the dots, I would agree with that strategy. But what Musk is doing has hugely damaging consequences for millions of people that can’t be easily fixed. Cybersecurity is at risk
with his takeover of two agencies without close oversight and everyone’s hair should be on fire right now.
Every American, regardless of party or ideology, needs to be vigilant in communicating their opposition to rogue and reckless (and corrupt) actions by this administration. If Zuckerberg isn’t going to “censor” posts on Facebook, then maybe REAL AMERICANS should test that and say what you think (if you use Facebook).
As much as it's going to suck paying for the mistakes of maga, I am impressed with Canada's precision hits on Red States with some of their key exports. Again it's gonna suck, but it's refreshing to see some countries show a spine to the felon.
Although if Canada stops electric energy to the US, New York state is included and New York is a blue state. At any rate, I support whatever Canada and Mexico do. It is going to hurt all of us including Canadians but the orange clown and his minions have to be stopped. I became an American citizen in 2017 for my veteran husband and because I believed in the Constitution and democracy. Now I am fighting for my husband who passed in 2024 and my children and grandchildren.
Yes. Right now those countries and province are targeting the red states. I am support of us Americans suffering. I’m in NY and I know Canada is sensitive to the weather for all upper states. We have each other 💐 I’m so sorry for your loss.
Our loss is your loss
Reported for spamming.
Good call!
Thanks, Ed!
you link to an advert for a product??? really Laura? not the place/time.
Laura and her advert have just been sh*tcanned. Trolls and scammers are everywhere. So long as The Meidas Mighty spots them and reports them their "shelf life" will be ID'd. Poster and link will Blocked.
Building supplies are once again going to go through the roof as Canada is our largest supplier of wood, and fuel. Gasoline will likely go up 25% within the next week. Bet on it. Whomever is going to run from the Dem side should be preparing right now to unseat that slob come 2028, if he lasts that long.
Please... he cannot last that long....try June or July!!
Yup. I'll opt for yesterday!
I don’t think he’ll make it until 2026. He looks aawwffuuul ( and by that I mean worse than usual). I think a major cardiovascular event or something less natural will take him out before then. Who/what will be running the country after that could be worse, unfortunately.
🙏🙏🙏I am not religious, but I started praying that this orange devil will be either dead or in Jail, SOON 🙏🙏🙏🙏
We can only hope for a cardiovascular event
Whatever it is, I hope it takes him on the first go round.
🙏
Agree. He and Vance need to be prevented from executing their Project 2025 plans. We need the 25th Amendment and the NDAA to be activated a.s.a.p.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I saw that lumber shortage coming, not to mention labor shortage. I dumped my two homebuilder stocks last week. I also dumped all retail-related investments. I thought I had a bit more time before the tariff war starts. I didn't expect it to be this quick. Tomorrow will be a bloodbath. It's hard to tell which sector is safe in this irrational decision-making environment.
I'm retired. Elon Musk hijacked my Social Security and now my investments could get hit too. 😟
Elon's actions will be reversed. As he said in response to a reporter's question: "Watch."
You cannot afford to wait until 2028, as for the price of gas, we pay $6.06/gallon for our gas
Agree. Caveat Emptor!
Waiting is what got us to this point in time! Pussyfooting around him was a grave (pun intended) mistake. Now is the time to use every protection and cure the Constitution provides.
Trump is a clear and present danger to America and the World. "Neutralize the threat" must be our focus. We want a "10-4" on this beast and his appointees.
He's not going to last four years. The 25th Amendment should put his reign of terror out of business. We also need to see to it Musk is deported. We are a mighty nation. We will not suffer more from Trump and his cult members. The resistance is strong and growing by the second, hour and, the day!
We are The Mighty Meidas Mighty.
Yes! Musk is in it for his own interests!! He bought the Donald! Like AOC said. Review Elons gov contracts!". He has made a fortune off of us! I bet Musk had some misappropriation of gov. Contract funds!! Some go to Donalds LIEbrary!??
I just hope that we’ll still be able to have a free and fair election come 2028. All the assholes trying to undo our government aren’t going to leave just like that for the Dems to try to piece things back together.
They have a plan, we need to expose every move every time!! That's what made Donald back down with his tariffs!! He has to be perceived with a win. Nope the counter measure would have put us in or in the verge of a stock marked crash depression!! Red States would have been hardest hit!!
Research: The Hegelian Dialectic and The Fourth Turn. Fascinating insight into the lay of the land. Also, review Hitler's daydreams and how he planned to bring them to fruition. Trump is not an intelligent being. He is a blubbering idiot easily moved by a fake compliment and greed.
I expect his homies to turn on him once it becomes evident the USA is not going anywhere away from our Democracy. It'll be rats off the ship first.
The problem MAGA has is they've nowhere to go when their schemes fail--and they will fail--leaving Dumbo alone to face the music all by himself. Those who openly supported him (family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances) will seek refuge and sympathy from those of us who called Trump out for the snake he's always been.
That will be interesting to witness.
yes including the 1200 and 200 that were in jail J6, they feel obligated to follow the conald... and they will maybe they will be the new fed employees he's been looking for loyalists so?
🙏🏻💙✌🏻
New York is blue in the cities. The vast upstate area, especially North Country that keeps voting for Elise Stefanik, is red as blood.
Yes I agree! But? Not all! I'm a reg. Republican but have been voting straight blue for a few years now! I think that messes with them! Many around where I live have mainly highschool, so not very good critical thinkers? I had to stop my PHD efforts when the Donald cut the funding from the VA in half! Yep he attacked education his last term in office too!!
Send letters to Congressional REPUBLICANS! Ask Sen. Tim Scott whether the elimination of DEI is really the elimination of Blacks from government.
Same for Representative Byron Donalds of Florida, Representative Burgess Owens of Utah. Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas, and Representative John James of Michigan about the rejection of DEI as a pretext to discriminate on the basis of race.
How can they be Republicans?
Didn't they hear that the plane crash was caused by DEI? Did that mean the boogeyman did it?
We have three (3) Batistiano MAGATs here in Baghdad By the Sea, representing a Democratic majority electorate. Cubanos also happen to be beneficiaries of DEI. Some are Black.
Trump would send 30,000 deportees to Git-mo, which, even to MAGAT Cubans, should not be in US hands.
I keep sayin' that one size does not fit all. We need all kinds of Democrats. Biden and especially Bernie Sanders said stuff that was taken here to support a totalitarian dictatorship and the word on the street was that Harris was a communist. We could not rebut it. Due to effective psy ops, even Democrats voted for Trump.
The letter from super MAGAT Elvira Salazar, below, should give the Democrats an opening .... I remember when Congressman Mario Diaz Balart's brother Lincoln, flipped from a Dade County Young Democrat to the Republican Party. Republican MAGAT Congressman Carlos Gimenez had once been a Democratic county mayor. https://files.constantcontact.com/1849eea4801/cd2e90be-43c8-4171-b3c6-a357621f7db9.pdf?_gl=1*uo1jgf*_ga*MDMwMjhjMzctZTFlNy00YzExLWE3NTEtZGUxMmY1OGY0YjEw*_ga_14T5LGLSQ3*MTczNzc0NTk1My4zLjEuMTczNzc0Njg2Ny44LjAuMA..
FL 26th Mario Díaz-Balart (Miami)
FL 27th María Elvira Salazar (Miami)
FL 28th Carlos A. Giménez (Miami)
Same should go for Republican members who oppose a Russian takeover. MAGA Mike Johnson fired the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, Ohio congressman Mike Turner, who supported Ukraine. How many others strongly oppose Russian imperialism?
Maybe Hakeem Jeffries can convince them to flip
Truth is, voter suppression prevented 3 million people of color from voting in the 2025 national election.
Got that right! The Trump MAGATS were aided and abetted in their efforts by Blacks For Trump. Stupid is as as stupid does.
His last term in office should have been his last term IMHO. The idiots who put him back in the driver's seat FAFO. Let's see if they join the resistance. Also, I'm wondering about job prospects for the freed JAN6 thugs.
They are in for difficult days ahead; "Like nobody's seen before," one of Frankenstein Trump's favorite expressions. He is a liar, an adulterer, a convicted felon, and a predator of the highest order.
Somebody should have Baker Acted him eons ago.
As his one time friend Howard Stern said "he needs a mental health Councilor". As I Psych Nurse level 3 step 8? I think he is admitable to a locked Adult Unit! Donald Is a risk to self or.otbers!! Due to his history of a 34 time convicted Felon? He may fit the Criteria for a locked Forensic criminally insane!! Tell me why not?
There are a lot of people in New York, when we shut down the flow of electricity to New York, that will help get the attention of tRumps Game, sooner rather than later, it’s COLD out there
We should totally 💥DO IT💥
Mission accepted. The undoing of Trump's edicts is in progress as we speak.
I think it sounds good but I'm not really in favor of bearing his actions while he is golfing all day executive time!! I'd sooner rather stop and pick up some rotten oranges not picked due to iasis.cleaning and dump the load upwind Doral! Or just park it there for a hot sun day
Yes!
I hear ya. I'm a North Country Democrat myself. It's frustrating as hell tho. And the reason I'm a tiny blue dot in Clinton County is because I moved to Champlain for two yrs before moving to Canada. So my last U.S. address is where I'm stuck voting.🫤
Yes we did. And they live next door to me. High school not critical thinkers, their Hill Folk trailer trash!! I don't think they see it yet actually!! Prices go up might help with that!!
Nice people though,, just they respond better listening to a 5th grade bully
I am so sorry for your loss and that you are having to deal with this psychotic bullshit on top of grieving. 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Yes, Ma'am, you're right. Trump and his gang of thieves will not be permitted to overthrow the USG. His EO's are going to be rendered null and void due to the legal pushback and the tenacity of MTN and the Meidas Touch Community.
He may think he's home free but, he isn't. What he may want to consider is his stupid move on the FAA and the Air Traffic Controllers. Otherwise, the next air tragedy is likely to be him. Hopefully, his current and future flight plans will be "lost in the shuffle."
As stupid as he is it's highly likely he's already shot himself in the foot (figuratively speaking.)
Totally support what Canada is doing. Don’t back down to this abusive bully.
It's been a frustrating month for Canadians. I've been feeling totally betrayed by your country. Like a best friend stabbing you in the back. I just joined Bluesky two days ago to stop supporting that asslicker Zuckerman. It makes me feel so much better to read these comments by Americans supporting Canada. Nice to know we still have allies. Now please go complain about these idiotic tariffs to your members of Congress.
We love you, Canada!
We love you, Canada.❣️🇨🇦💙🇺🇸
Y’all have been supporting us too!! It’s what friends do!! 👍
We should be turning off the power today, that’ll get their attention
Canadians should also boycott Florida for the winter and head to a blue state. I say that as a blue dot in red Florida.
Me too.
I thoroughly love that Colombia put him in check by joining, as well as Nova Scotia!
British Columbia 🇨🇦🇨🇦😀👍
Don't understand when you say as well as Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is a province of Canada.
Yes, I know! In my comment, that you did not see, I stated this.
Note that the province is British Columbia and referred to as BC for short.
I understand that. People know nova scotia, but thanks!
I agree! Extremely hopeful the rest of the world lines up behind Canada and Mexico in unity to fight off this bully and put him in his place. Thank You! The costs will be painful, but if the world backs down, then they just green lighted this monster. I hope they don't. I'm sorry for those who voted for Kamala, but those who voted for MAGA... FAFO. However, we will welcome you back whenever you wake up! (except my sister)
Thought they made bulling illegal?
Even though I live in a red state, I, too, am impressed with Canada's precision hits on Red States with some of their key exports. It won't be good to live in a red state, but then again it hasn't been for some time. Think Ryan Walters.
Me too
The contrast between Drumpf and Trudeau is obvious and striking—that of a buffoon and a sophisticated, bilingual, world leader.
I am enjoying the retaliation from Mexico and Canada. We are going to suffer tremendously where I live, but, the people around me put us in this position. The only MAGAt who I worry about is my Mama and Daddy. 84 and 86, he has Alzheimers and is a 24 year Veteran. Everything they live off of comes from his pension and veteran benefits, they will suffer.
Good luck for your parents from a retired Vietnam Veteran.
Agreed. I’m in North Carolina so I’m preparing for the pain but I stand with Canada. Watching the world stand up to FOTUS has given me the smallest shred of hope.
Also in NC, Asheville area. As if the hurricane wasn't enough, now this.
At least there was still FEMA to help at the time. If it happened this week can you imagine? Funds are now being cut off to Habitat and other federal helping agencies
I guess if there are any slivers of silver linings in this shit show, that’s one of them. Had it happened now… I’m terrified to imagine how much worse it would be.
I live in eastern NC in a very red town - I feel like chicken little. I sell building materials (work should be interesting this week) and Habitat is one of our customers. I hadn’t even thought of them yet - I wonder how this will affect their current projects?
There was an article in Asheville Citizen Times, various agencies here very worried. Yes it will be like the poisonous strands of a jellyfish...impacting just about everyone if he isn't stopped.
We are in our 70s retired, depending on VA benefits and Fed retirement benefits...not to mention Medicare...things about to get really ugly for all of us. We feel trapped here
We feel trapped as well. Mid 40s, three kids 10 15 and 17 (one a girl), two incomes but not enough for any kind of savings. We can’t afford to get out so we are settling in and preparing for the worst. I can’t imagine the unease you must feel, and my heart hurts for you. I hope you at least have a strong support community around you?
I guess we really do have to hit rock bottom before we can work our way back up. I'm feeling the rocks scratching me now. Let's not lose hope.
Nope. We ain't waiting for nobody's rock bottom. The Resistance is active and growing daily. Trump's time in office has an expiration date and it's sooner than 2028. He just doesn't know it yet.
The PM of Canada reserved tariffs for products imported from red states. Blue states are unaffected.
Makes sense, but a lot of red states only narrowly voted red, and visa versa with blue.
But I’m glad Canada is making a point!
I am reading very little news - too upsetting. I do read most of MeidasTouch and always Ron Filipkowski headline newsletter. So, forgive me. I take it Canada and Mexico have instigated tariffs that directly affect Red States more than Blue States? Yes? How soon before those states start feeling the pain? Do the MAGAS even understand what's happening?
Cindy, our Prime Minister announced $150 Billion in retaliatory tariffs targeting red states (🇨🇦we never asked for a trade-war but Trump forced our hand - Canadians will defend ourselves, sorry/not sorry). A portion of or retaliatory tariffs go into effect on Tuesday…the bulk of them go into effect 3 weeks later, to give our industries time to find new markets for our goods. We are also looking at ways to terminate procurement agreements and contracts with the US, and will start excluding the US in future procurement deals for the things Canada needs. And Canadians were urged to boycott American goods and services and start supporting Canadian and local businesses wherever possible, and start choosing to travel in Canada rather than into the US. It’s so sad it’s come to this, but here we all are. 😞🦫🍁🇨🇦
JoJo thank you for explaining and good for Canada. It is sad that it has come to this, but people and countries have to stand up to the tyrant.
I am an “American” who despises the criminal Trump. I admire Canada. I think I would support Canada taking over over the U. S. Government.
The red states won’t be getting a bail out from the blue states this time!
Who are we kidding, if someone doesn’t grow a set and do something about Prez Musk, he will just take blue state funds and give them to all the maga moron states.
In his dreams. The MTN and The Meidas Mighty are Frump's worst nightmare. And, as his appointees and supporters continue to misstep we aren't missing any opportunity to pounce and deflate the orange buffoon.
I’m hoping you’re right. I’m still stunned by the cowardly, corrupt moves of legacy media. Thanks MTN !
Legacy media is dying a slow agonizing death. They don't appear to be aware of their impending demise. All credibility is lost. They are no longer reporting the news. They are an extension of a stupid egotistical criminally insane pretender to the throne. All fall down? It's already beginning to happen.
Recieved and understood, here's hoping the EU may target with accuracy, the States with apparent disregard of the people and their constution. But there's no way Britain and the EU will be enabling an insurrection to destroy our ally.
Me too. Listen to Angus and company on YouTube. Their speeches were wonderful. If I could sign their pledge, I would.
We know blue states don't want this we have brains unlike Maga there is a reason we are number 1 in the world for post secondary education
I concur, Although it’s going to hurt many democrats and independents in those red states.
Enjoying the MAGATS now complaining about Trump betraying them. "I voted for you," claimed one (Hispanics For Trump) after is wife was collared and deported. He and others like him are collateral damage as far as Dumpty and Moron Musk are concerned.
The world hates Trump. To Vlad, Trump is a useful idiot.
As bad as the news is these days, your news is a bright spot because it gives me hope that one day sanity, safety and real governance will return!!
I read yesterday that a Canadian politician proposed a 100% tariff on Teslas. Is there any way that we can let Canada know that we support this and that they should go ahead with it? And is there any other way that we can show our support for Canada and for Mexico?
We need to start a boycott here in the U.S. and not just Tesla. Companies are getting away with caving to Trump/Musk, because they can. But the most important thing to companies is their customer base. I don't know all the companies that are caving and those standing up to Trump and a single boycotter is not effective. We need a website (created by MeidasTouch?) that lists the companies that are caving on DEI, etc. and doing worse things along with those who are not caving. Remember the Bud Light boycott? Budweiser was not happy. We need to advertise the number of people supporting the boycotts. We need to go online and say we are supporting the boycotts. That's something easy all of us can do. I'm one of the ones that cancelled my subscriptions to the NYT and WaPo and lots of others did too. We also need to return to MSNBC (which I have done). Enough with pouting (which I did) and time to return to action and supporting those companies and media organizations that are doing the right thing.
People need to march! Walk off the jobs, Bring the country to a standstill! How soon will those who voted for the felon hurt enough to stand against the felon??
Yes agree! But remember Musk fired the ones that tried that at his Tesla plant! Donald will hit the unions I bet like he did last time! Last time he neutralized afge and the seiu! He will try it again. Oh then gut the eeoc for fed employees making a stand! Yep
Musk Rat will remain in power as long as he keeps paying Conald. my opinion! Look whos being extorted and sending funds to the Donalds "LIE brary?"
If we know someone who was fired unfairly, we could help them out by making sure they have food. If you are financially able to help with bills, then do that. Don't let people suffer because they stood up to the evil ones, I want them to know they aren't alone.
yes! I was also thinking of our Canadian Friends that the Donald wants to break, ha ha on my Moms side of the family there is a blood line of Scotch Whisky smugglers? yep McCleod Clan I've been told.. I don't mind mailing care packages to my friends in Cananda
Great ideas. You're right. Money talks.
Love your spunk! TO Medias suggestion on DEI is a great start. Keep up with suggestions Nancy. I cancelled Amazon membership, weakened and reopened. Will cancel today. Why don't you start a Resistance Substack?
You can do it. I cancelled my Prime membership and I will boycott anyone that supports tRump and his maga toadies. From now on, my shopping will begin with ‘Are you a tRump supporter?’ and if the answer is yes, I say bye. If no, I say BUY.
I am just a "bookish" university professor/engineer who never even did social media until after this election (one of the few people on Earth who never had a Facebook or Twitter account). I have no idea how to start a Substack. But I will work with and support others.
Download the App Buycott
Thanks for this. I will check it out. I, currently, use Goods Unite Us app.
Look for the "Goods Unite Us" app in both Apple and Android. Use your dollars to support the businesses that support you are your values. It has been an amazing tool in divesting from maga funding companies.
Also, has anyone else noticed that dumpf appears to be reading from a script when he’s doing news conferences now? That’s what makes me think that musk is writing the script.
He can read?
Yeah. He reads the label on his adult diaper packages. 😂
only when they use the bouncing ball chyron under his teleprompter speech...😵
It's either Musk or Miller. Trump is illiterate, prideful and ignorant. He can't put a sentence together as evidenced by his word salad nonsensical statements and responses to reporters questions. He cannot "fly" without a script.
Or somebody
Musk will sue saying it's illegal
Who gives a shit. Let him. We, the Americans, ALLOWED HIM TO GIVE HIMSELF HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF OUR DOLLARS. (not sure HOW that wasn’t stopped to begin with) That wealth belongs to us - the working class! And we do care about EQUITY. Many Americans totally support Canada’s response to tariffs and hate Trump and Musk.
We warned them
They laughed at us. They didn't listen.. We told them so.. Who's laughing now
Yeah, but think of the money of the attorneys will make and trying to win that argument. We need to focus on musk. He’s pulling Donald strings and if we don’t start focusing more on what he’s doing in the background, we’re gonna be in even more shit.
Focusing on mush is very wise .. the actions must be loud and quick.
How does he have any authority?? People should call security when he shows up
If Maga thinks Trump is dojng a "fantastic job" why would they care about Musk.. They go together... And Trump thinks Musk is doing a great job
How much is Steve Bannon playing a part in this crap?
I don’t think so much but I do believe Stephen Miller is very involved… From what I understand Bannon is on the outs with T-man. I should say T baby.
Why not a major lawsuit over Musk?
He is exerting powers that are not in his authority
He is being given obviously social security numbers and data that he has no power or right to have
His, whatever it is dodge(sp) is not an official government agency
He has not been vetted
Nor approved by the house or senate
Why is no one filing a lawsuit over all of this ?
He has no right to treasury or HR information.
Otherwise if lawsuits don’t work, we know he is a ketamine abuser.
Right there should deny him clearance.
I can’t I am not a lawyer
Someone do this!
Musk is also here illegally.
Deport him and confiscate his billions
Think it is time to even things up don't you? In business they have groups that go on different projects.
What if we the people fight back the same way? Start a business to go after the corporate groups each targeting Republicans that are kissing the ring. It's an idea!
If Maga thinks Trump is dojng a "fantastic job" why would they care about Musk.. They go together... And Trump thinks Musk is doing a great job
Orange turd can’t think for himself. Musk is pulling his strings and telling him what to say. Dumpf doesn’t know how to think for himself. There’s somebody else that’s got more pull and that has to be musk.
Frankly, he appears to be Stoned or half Drunk now, every time we see him. I cannot help but remember an episode of “Star Trek”, when they find that a former college professor has started a new Nazi state on his new planet, mainly because his immediate advisors drugged him and gave him a script to follow so THEY could take over. Far Fetched? I don’t think so. I know a stoner when I see one.
I honestly think that his dementia is getting worse. Have you noticed that when he talks, his speech is flat and monotone? And your analogy to that Star Trek episode is very appropriate. Not far fetched at all. Musk is the puppeteer pulling the Felon's strings.
Yes Donald would say that for anyone that gave him millions! And Musk is likely still paying him!
Someone should start a class action against Musk Rat meddling with the FAA, and Airline Safety Board he helped Gut! Musk Rat is not above the law like Donald is! 67 people are no longer with us due to Musk wanting to avoid a FFA 600k lawsuit! And Threatening 180 senators to vote to de-fund the FAA or they will be primarried? Elon should have jail time for what he did! His actions is why 67 are no longer here!! He has no guilt! Nor does Conald!!
Let him. I don't think that Musk holds any sway in Canada like he does here.
You're right! That's why China got a tariff discount! The entire thing is absurd! I'm convinced Donald and Musk are now feeding their personality disorders with our annoyed remarks!! Or
hey Don Jr? Tell Daddy we wanna see his medical records! Including what you helped him with at the PA. Hospital ER? You know where the top of his ear was shot off and he stopped bleeding in a few minutes?? Was that because of the mcdonalds happy meals? Or that's the reason the bullet trajectory on his right cheek disapeared?
What meds are you taking out from the Whitehouse pharmacy? Dads still taking Ambien for sleep and a stimulant for the day?
One of the signs of dementia is insomnia. He has been tweeting at night for many years. It's getting worse.
I also want our Canadian immigration office to rescind and burn🔥 Musk’s Canadian Citizenship and passport ASAP. He is the antithesis of Canadian values and his complicity in the orange felon’s expansionist agenda is traitorous against Canada🦫🍁🇨🇦.
Fuk Musk!
An american suing a foreign country. Good luck with that one.
I do.
I do.
You go Canada
You could plan a vacation here to support our tourism industry. The Canadian dollar is tanking thanks to Trump so it will be cheap.
WHAT A GREAT IDEA
I think it’s great that Canada and these other countries are standing up to Trump so as a Democrat, my question is when is the Democrat party going to stand up to Trump in a way that really matters and not just lip service?
Yes! We need AOC & Jasmine Crocket to get mad & disbar rump & call the military in to haul is @ss out!
Alas. Democrats have no authority to order the military to do anything. The Republicans own the House, the Senate and the Presidency, as well as the Supreme Court.
That’s why you have to start working on the republicans in the senate and house. The majorities are slim. Surely you can put enough pressure on a handful of them to vote with the Dems.
Well I hear Susan Collins is concerned. Sorry. I don't expect anything from the republicans. I believe we need to continue to put pressure on the Dems in Congress. Maybe enough will wake up to the reality that this is not the old republican party - which frankly wasn't that great to begin with. And I am not talking Lincoln's Republican Party.
Still, Republicans need to hear from all voters so they understand how broad and deep is the resistance. Republicans who are aghast at what Trump is doing need to contact their representatives an Senators to say they will not vote for them in 2026.
She's always concerned but immobile. But hey, at least she's leaning a good way = needs some help. Help, over here please...
If I had a $1 for every time Collins is/was concerned, I'd be rich.
Guess who heads the DOD? Well, the military will just have to walk over DOD first, then go get fatass, Elon and JDbutternuts.
We ALL need to speak out against the illegal AND unethical AND unconstitutional things this rogue and reckless president is allowing to happen, right in plain sight. People need to communicate (free speech) to be heard.
That’s what I want to know. When do the Democrats start a resistance ? I haven’t seen anything yet that even comes close to the uprising that happened after George Floyd was murdered on live TV. The courts aren’t going to help. They’re all in Trump’s back pocket too.
So is the military now
Maybe at the top. My concern is for those just doing their jobs. How many have gone to the other side?
Good question. Their silence is deafening. Could it be they're in an embarrassing spot because if the speak out they're offending the corporations and these same corporations have been putting cash in the Dems pockets. We're seeing a one party system. The party of MONEY! (Chomsky)
As a Canadian, I have little influence on your elected officials, but I can help by voting for politicians here willing to stand up to the psychotic regime you currently have and speak out against the bootlickers. And I continue to do my bit by restacking relevant articles on here. It’s not much but every little bit helps.
Thank you! We love our Canadian friends in spite of what the Orange Turd and Leon Skum
do.
I like the Leon Skum. Used the name myself, as it certainly describes what he is.
...Willing to stand up to... it sure isn't Pierre Poilievre, your very own Dumpty. What an F-wad that jerk is. 😣
Fuckwad indeed. This is a leader who sits down for an interview with Jordan Peterson while running away from political reporters covering the hill. So many of us are hoping what’s going on south of our border hurts him. He’s been deafeningly silent lately.
Well, there’s the silver lining
I am worried that instead, our maniac-in-chief may give him and his ilk new “ideas”. 🙄
Can you tell us what we can do to support Canada?
You’re doing something helpful right now. Uplifting MeidasMTN stories does reach a Canadian audience. Their coverage of progressive voices like Charlie Angus and Justin Trudeau helps counter some of our mainstream Conservative cheerleaders. And don’t get upset if you hear hockey fans booing your anthem. It’s aimed at Trump & Co. Many of us know we’re in this fight together with our American brethren.
Oh, I don't get upset at the booing at all. Heck, if I were there I would have booed too!!
Canada Please annexe the USA and then put a Canadian in the WH!
Thank you .. I am doing the same .. we must and can be a collective voice to influence others, who can, take action!
THANK YOU Anna, I am heartened in these dark days by how much selfless people like yourself from all over the world are standing in unity with us. It gives me hope that there are millions who care about humanity all over the world. Frankly I am disgusted by 50% of our population, but still hold on to the hope that that number is a lie too!
Thank you!
Thank you!!
Please know that us Canadians still like Americans. We know how to differentiate between good Americans from the orange blob and his minions.
Whew .. I love Canada .. I thank you .. please help us stomp out the orange asshole and his accomplices.
Amen
🔸️NONE of the orange baby man's clown show would be happening if he was disqualified day one after forensic psychiatrist Dr Bandy X Lee's report of the FIVE DANGEROUS MENTAL PATHOLOGIES of Donald Trump.
🔸️The 1973 Goldwater Rule is obsolete. It said a public figure should be personally examined to diagnose. Today, social media continues to record thousands of hours of pathological behavior from the one foot tall orange baby man in diapers for all to see. No personal examination needed.
🔸️Voters.DEMAND mentally fit leadership. It is the sacred duty of Senate leadership to protect American voters from dangerous mentally unfit candidates and to prevent autocratic abuse.

Thank you for sharing the video I just watched.
These countries should aim directly at hurting red states as much as possible. Once they start undermining Trump’s base, watch him cave in as his cult base slowly gets squeezed dry
He doesn't care about them. He never did. All he wanted from them was their votes. He said so. So now that he is in office, he is just casting them aside like he does everyone else who is no longer useful to him. The question is - how long will it take for them to realize that they were suckered?
Agreed he cares about the stock market though because his oligarchs & billionaires do so tomorrow may be mighty painful
This is why I'm hoping the tariff effect hits hard and fast. That will be the time to hit them with the reality. I did today in my red state grocery after paying 20% more for an item, stating that there would be more to come and I had nothing to do with it.
When we go to pay for items that have been affected by these tariffs, we must loudly complain about why this happened and put the blame where it belongs. Seriously, who can defend these tariffs? We must be loud and proud! I know that I am. I was at Trader Joe's a few days ago when a friend called and we were bitching about the Felon. I made sure that my voice was loud enough for people around me to hear. I did not give one flying fuck who heard me say that people who voted for the Felon were idiots. And I will continue to do this.
Good question. It wouldn't surprise me to see them make excuses for him.
Blue states should band together & join Canada!
Or Canada annex the USA and then put a Canadian in the WH!
One thing the blue states CAN do is refuse to pay anything into Dumpty's fascist takeover.
The US has no power to "join Canada" and vice-versa. If we could "put a Canadian" in the WH we'd put an American in there, instead of Agolf Shitler.
The fact that an unelected, unconfirmed billionaire who has government contracts is controlling our payment systems is absurd and dangerous. Why aren't the other billionaires, I'm looking at you Jeff Bezos, saying something? They have competing contracts. Why aren't our senators raising hell? I have written to my senators (Red senators in a bright red state) often and told them they have an awesome responsibility as very special people (1 in 100 people out of 330 Million) to govern and it's time they DO THEIR JOB! The overreach by President Musk and his puppet Trump is astounding. It's dangerous. It's vile. There needs to be more of an outrage and an outcry by the people on this point. Stand up. Speak up. Rise up. Resist.
Resistance is Compulsory!
Thank you, Ben and the gang, Meidas Mighty!
I am learning that any and all news concerning the recent two plane crashes, will only be released to X for distribution to the people in the United States. Anyone who has even a small amount of knowledge about the Nazi in Germany, recognize this as a means to control information. If anyone has any doubts about t/rump and the Rethugs moving us toward fascism, those doubts should be gone. We are facing a clear and present danger to our republic. It’s now time to resist in any way possible! This is why i subscribed to the Meidastouch. It’s a beacon of light in the very dark days of our republic.
The fact is that Trump potentially faced prison (or more large $$ judgments) and Musk was facing multiple government investigations (SpaceX safety issues among others) — so they had “a reason to commit fraud” (the election) [one element when considering fraud is pressure]; they also had the opportunity to commit fraud (known vulnerabilities in voting machines and data in transit could be exploited using mass collusion); finally, there is rationalization (just like an abusive life partner, they gaslight Americans who they regard as stupid into believing they are doing it for them — to make THEIR lives better)
Wake up, Americans (I’m no longer referring to Americans as Republicans, MAGA, Democrats, Independents, etc. I believe we need to be speaking to EVERYONE at this moment as “fellow Americans”!!!) and do not believe a con man, no matter what they promise you. A con is a con!
A con man is a con, except to anyone in his cult. The MAGA (Morons Are Gullible Assholes) movement is based on the cult of t/rumpism. Like every member in a cult, the trumpets do not believe they are being conned. Thanks to the saturation of our media with Reich wing propaganda, lies have become truths and truths have become lies.
Read what they’ve done to the Pentagon office and news outlets. You’re absolutely correct. We are on our own when it comes to getting accurate information.
Oh yes it's a replay of the NSDAP 1932-45.
WE NEED A MILITARY COUP!
Adam, I agree. Ever since General Millie’s portrait was removed and his security detail canceled, there must be s majority of those in the military who object to this retribution, and wish to respond. With a weasel sitting in the corner office at the pentagon, perhaps they can remove him, too.
Considering the Secretary of Defense is part of the incoming Nazi fascist regime, I would not count on any help from our current military. Regarding just civilians bringing an armed revolt, I am skeptical. I am skeptical because no matter how many weapons the civilian population has in the United States, going against our current military is a huge lift. I don’t know anyone with a weapon strong enough to stop Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters, F-16 and F-22 jets or a cruise missile. These are the type weapons a civilian revolt will face. Bottom line: the U.S. military is built to take on another super power. I don’t see them having much trouble handling an outright violent revolt by a bunch of civilians.
But will our military actually follow these illegal orders? The PCA outlaws the willful use of the military unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. I know they are shredding the constitution, but the military took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not a politician. If he does this, and declares martial law after the demonstrations start, he will then use an Executive Order to suspend the 2nd amendment and confiscate all guns. Dictators always disarm their citizens.
The military, like every profession, has people that are honorable and those that are dishonorable. The real hope we have in the military, is if the honorable people can control the dishonorable ones. Time will tell.
Rob, you destroyed HOPE for a military coup.
If a military coup occurs, it will be because we have lost the republic.
Well, of course, we will be out of coffee. Already the prices have risen. Trump doesn't give a FF. He doesn't drink coffee, and if he did, we would all be taxed more since we are the ones that pay for everything from his salary down to his socks. By the way, how much are Elon and his cronies being paid to raid the treasury on the backs of American-born taxpayers?
They are also locking OPM employees out of their computers as well.
Elon want's it ALL !
Price of cocaine will probably come down or be legalized in a week or two, considering Moron Jr's 'hobby'.
Currently at the airport and everything is canceled or delayed because they are inspecting planes thoroughly. Trump is a disaster and people are terrified to even travel.
Yes. I’m not even mad. Just relieved that I’m not misreading the signs on this situation.
Found this for you. CNN — Flights across the US could experience “residual delays” Sunday morning as the Federal Aviation Administration works to restore a critical warning system that experienced an outage Saturday night, according to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.
“The primary NOTAM system is experiencing a temporary outage, but there is currently no impact to the National Airspace System because a backup system is in place,” he wrote on X, adding that the agency activated contingency systems to continue flight operations.
“The (FAA) is working to fully restore the system, and there may be some residual delays tomorrow morning,” he wrote. “We are investigating the root cause and we will provide updates.” As of early Sunday morning, there were more than 360 delayed flights within, into or out of the US, and 59 cancellations, according to flight tracker FlightAware.
NOTAM, which stands for Notice to Air Missions, is a computer system that sends alerts to pilots about conditions that could affect the safety of their flights. That could include information about lights being out on a certain runway, or a tower near an airport not having the required safety lights working, or an air show taking place in the air space nearby.
Don’t Fly!!! Boycott flying. That is one BIG way "we the people” can express our power, we can put on the pressure. Money talks.
Unfortunately, some of us have to travel for work. When the destination is a 16 hour drive away, it’s not possible to boycott flying.
Americans need to stop flying on any American flight. Too dangerous. Consider this as similar to pandemic and stay off planes.
👀🤯Thanks!!!! Yeah, imma head out here. What’s an extra 3 hours of driving at a time like this. Divine intervention 🙌🏽
You're probably safer in your car than you are in a plane these days. Safe travels.
What? Really? 😲
trump is destroying the country and has made other countries hate us. I pray that we never need military help under trump🙏🏽
I think other countries will come to save us if need be. We need to be protected from him and them. I am reading about WW II. We may need help
We should ALL be against rogue and reckless behavior and authoritarian government. It’s NOT OKAY.
I'm not so sure they will come to save us. Why should they after the way they've been treated by Trump? I just hope its one of the good ones who come to pick the bones after we're destroyed and not Russia or China.
Because it’s the humane thing to do.

Thank you this book looks good
A how-to manual.
Some would say we already do.
I love everything you do but we need to do more. I read Heather Cox Richardson this morning and I am amazed there is not more backlash. He is creating a total disaster. Where are all of the elected officials (both dems and reps) and why aren't they screaming. Some are - like Chris Murphy. I know there are lots of lawyers like Mark Elias, etc working to stop things. I'm just worried that it will all be too late. I'm usually optimistic but I don't feel that way today. Keep up the great work - we need you.
I have mixed feelings about the Democrats reactions or lack thereof. I think that the Republicans are doing a great job of being hoisted on their own petard. The Democrats may be just sitting back watching Republicans implode without any help from them. I read that Jeffries has had meetings with Congressional Democrats on strategy but they are keeping their cards close to their chest. Look at it this way - Republicans can't blame anyone but themselves for what is going on. If the Democrats involve themselves in this clusterfuck, then Republicans, true to form, would skew things around and blame the Democrats. By sitting back and watching what is happening, Democrats know that Republicans can only blame themselves. It actually is a delicious thing to watch Republicans twisting in the wind. The shit is going to hit the fan even worse this week and things are going to get mighty interesting.
I agree. The Democrats need a plan for sure, especially not cooperating or compromising with Republicans. For example, when a vote is called, instead of saying yea or nay, they need to stand and say things like the following:
'I will not cooperate with this fascist government so I will not vote'.
'I will not participate in harming Americans so I cannot not vote for this bill.'
'This bill is illegal under the Constitution so I will not break the law by voting for it.'
'This bill undermines and attacks the Bill of Rights so I will not vote for it.'
'This proposed law will endanger the safety of people of colour (or immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ, or PW Disability, etc) so I cannot and will not vote for this bill.'
'The purpose of this bill is to exact revenge on the President's perceived enemies so in good conscience, I cannot vote for it.'
'This bill stands against every American value that has made this country great so I will not vote it.'
'This bill will irreparably harm the good standing of America in the world. I cannot and will not vote for it.'
'This bill benefits the enemies of America and our way life so I will not vote for it'.
'This bill has the potential to foster hate and violence. In good conscience, I cannot vote for it.'
'This bill proposed by the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight may have dangerous consequences.' LOL
That said, I feel it is not helpful to merely trash the Democrats. I think this has the potential to make people throw up their hands and just not act or vote. Rather, provide ideas for things they can do. Republicans control the presidency, House, Senate and the Supreme Court so what they can do in Congress is limited.
Excellent suggestions and an excellent post. Thank you. Is there any way to send this to our Democratic representatives? I live in Central CA so my rep is a Republican. But those who have Democratic representatives should copy and paste this and send it to them en masse.
Thank you. It can be emailed if you have the email addresses for the Representatives.
If the results were purely economic and easy to connect the dots, I would agree with that strategy. But what Musk is doing has hugely damaging consequences for millions of people that can’t be easily fixed. Cybersecurity is at risk
with his takeover of two agencies without close oversight and everyone’s hair should be on fire right now.
I'd really like to know what you think the Dems can do. Lots of ideas are needed.
Every American, regardless of party or ideology, needs to be vigilant in communicating their opposition to rogue and reckless (and corrupt) actions by this administration. If Zuckerberg isn’t going to “censor” posts on Facebook, then maybe REAL AMERICANS should test that and say what you think (if you use Facebook).
Is leaving Facebook an option?
I read here, and HCR, Timothy Snyder, Robert Reich - its all very shocking.
I too am amazed there's no torches and pitchforks. 🇨🇦
I’m am so proud of my boys n so thankful for you n the Meidas Mighty for keeping it honest,factual reporting the actual truth !
