I heard MTN mentioned on Kimmel and was thrilled for you. I followed MTN on Twitter years ago during trumps first go around and migrated to your YouTube channel. I’m so proud for you and your work. Thank you for keeping up and keeping us informed!

Thank you for all you have done to try and call out the hypocrisy that is Trump

Saw a comment on substack that said the media should not be saying that trump has Appointed someone. He has Nominated them. Remember the Senate has to Confirm the Nomination. That is our democratic process!

That's a part of the MSM's task of sanewashing Trump for the ratings and another reason I have stopped watching MSNBC, CNN, and almost all TV "news."

They apparently are planning to bypass all 'normal' paths for appts & just let trump have all his preferred people anyway. So try & MAKE them do anything - they will just ignore you ! No penalties exist for not toeing the normal channels.

You’re on your way up Ben, in the most humble way, of course. And it’s beautiful to see your little baby girl with you on daddy-duty. The TRUTH always prevails. 💪🏽

Thank you! Democrats need to go after Trump, NOT Joe Biden. Let’s see a strong opposition party, not a bunch of whiners pointing fingers at each other. We have a great group of governors and some excellent young legislators in the House and Senate. Welcome, Senators Gallego and Slotkin!

Also Senator Andy Kim from NJ. A man of honor, and a very hard worker. He cares about his constituents.

I just want to note that the President can't actually "create a new Cabinet position." That is a far more complex process, involving an act of Congress and various other procedures. What he has done is create a meaningless advisory position with an idiotic name. It's all a joke to these a'holes. But that will ultimately be their undoing, too.

What absolutely slays me is that it's supposedly about "efficiency" yet he's got two people doing the job. It is a joke to him. It's all about raising up those who raised him up, and destroying those who didn't. I hope anyone who's ever stood against him remains safe under this impending government mafia.

I thought with the emergence of Trump's "election" (some are still in doubt that it was hacked by Musk-- I'm not there YET) that I would be very active in defense of our democratic agenda and even write some things about what we need to do next.

Then the reality of the situation set in, and I realized that the amount of new information about how much damage Trump and his loyalists can and probably will do to our (secular) government is overwhelming. There is too much bullsh*t, and it is causing me to disconnect and tune out.

That is not what we need.

Give me some time to gather my thoughts and to decide what are the most important things to talk about and expose, and I will try again to be a voice of reason and facts. Until then, hang in and remember that we are the majority and we are going to have to use that with more conviction in the near future.

Hurry hurry hurry to come back! I don't know if there are already folks who have pretty valid action plans for how we can reach those who need reaching rather than preaching to the choir, but we need everyone on board right now whether you are one of those folks who know stuff or someone like me who has no clue how to reach other but will contribute however I can. Believe me I understand your pain (I'm down to one friend and am a blue speck in a red sea) and I felt the same way about tuning out but have decided to engage, but just less...follow one or two folks not the several I was. And I'm really going to try to not make any negative comments like on stories that Yahoo posts from CNN, the AP, Huff, whatever. On the contrary I'm going to make an ever bigger effort to try to find at least 10 posts a day that I can make an uplifting response to. I am not at the point to follow the Dalai Lama's advice be kind whenever possible it is always possible, but I think I can seek out situations that give me an opportunity to be kind.

I don't understand the insistence on getting Trump's medical records. They're going to be written by Trump himself, and he would never consent to having a legitimate exam by an unbiased doctor/team of doctors. What's the point of reading another fiction about how fit he is?

Thanks to everyone at Meidas+ for your unrelenting efforts to expose Donald tRump for the crook and con man he is, and for how dangerous the next four years will be. I am with you, and will continue to be with you, as we #KeepResisting.

How soon after inauguration can we impose the 25th amendment. If Trump is physically and mentally unable to fulfill his duties- it should be done. Question is who will be the brave souls to stand up and provide the evidence and will our Congress actually represent the people who elected them.

President JD Vance is much, much scarier.....

Very much so

Biden needs to resign and Harris needs to call Marshall law.

Wondering under Marshall law if she can call a real election

Felons, adjudicated rapist, couch rapist need not apply.

Can Trump just make up departments? I thought that was the senates job

There absolutely will not be any Republican who has the courage or integrity or morals to do this. Maybe Susan Collins if she is absolutely sure her vote will not make any difference. Now maybe in two year when the country is in the toilet and all their constituents are begging for health care, some fruits and veggies they can afford and all those jobs cut when he put a freeze on infrastructure monies, a few might stand up but I doubt it.

If JD Vance was complicit in hiding it- then??

You've done the good work the main media fails to bother with. Just a note on the topic here; while I am NOT a conspiracy minded person, I have a feeling Vance, and others have figured out since the start to use the orange stain to gain the white house then 25th him into nowhere. My guess is sometime between January 21st and end of February of 2025. Ben what do you think on that?

If the evidence points to him being unstable before making certain decisions - does that invalidate them?

They will only spin their excuses and try to not infuriate their Maga cult while moving forward on their agendas. Just think how Putin decided to air on RT1 and laugh at Mel just a few days (totally deserved in my opinion). They already have seemed to start the process of making Donald into the afterthought he will most likely become to them.
