I also watch posting by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Justice Matters speaker Glenn Kirschner, Senator Adam Schiff and Hakeem Jeffries. Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Raskin. All these are stalwarts, people who stand for justice, democracy, truth, equality.
I too, watch all of the above but could I also add Aaron Parnas to your list of 'must watch' independent news sources? He, like Meidas, is young, enthusiastic & tireless in his pursuit of truth. Well done everyone & thank you.👏
Heather Cox Richardson's Letter is the very first thing I read in the morning, apart from the time on my alarm clock ⏰️. Twice alarmed within ten minutes. What a way to wake up to the world. But we must be awake to all of it.
I also watch all of these. Also Bryan Tyler Cohen, and Heather Cox Richardson for really illuminating historical/political perspective. I'm counting on all of you to stay connected with each other if only in good spirit - we need all the hands on deck that we can get, and the democracy we're fighting for includes every voice, especially friendly and supportive ones. Thanks for all you do, Meidas Bros - important (might I say crucial) work.
Hey he did better than Schumer. Jeffries kept his caucus together and as a bloc, they voted NO. Schumer is a Vichy Dem and a total invertebrate. Time for new Senate leadership!
Schumer made the mistake of not stating his position and the reasoning behind it, right up front from the start. Although I don't agree with him, his flip flop has destroyed his credibility and looked weak.
And Schumer planning a personal book tour while the United States is burning down is really idiotic and tone deaf. He is old and out of touch and appears to be more interested in cashing in on his "prominence" in the Senate instead of working for the "little" people of the USA. I guess he wants to be remembered as Leona Helmsley.
I totally agree. Who would want to LEGALLY give unencumbered power to Trump in a shutdown??? It's been hard enough when we have legal recourse on our side. I think his big mistake was not getting that message out early and often. It was almost like he didn't want Trump and the Republicans to realize the power they would have if the government shutdown, because then Republicans would shut it down themselves. It was really quite tricky to navigate.
I don't understand this comment, and it pops up everywhere. What specifically is it you think he is failing to do? He speaks regularly, appears on multiple platforms, objects to Republican policy and advocates for the American people. He did not want to vote Yes to the recent CR in front of Congress.
So what in your opinion would be "effectual"? Particularly given he does not control any of the executive branches of power.
Canadian here. Why does everyone expect Democrats to be effectual in the Middle East? It is a complicated war between two nations that has been burning in the pot all my life...but there is this constant expectation that America, and specifically Democrats, can step in a fix it up overnight. And what specifically did Jeffries fail to do that would have been effectual.
Always find at least 10-15 minutes a day for IHIPNEWS. Jen and Angie are my #2 go too each day........Stephanie Miller has been the Liberal anchor for years and is plugging MTN often......same with IHN.......Women Power!!!!!
CBC as well. Which is why the Conservative party wants it defunded! What is it about right wing populists, that they cannot abide anyone calling them out or questioning their policies??
I agree. I have seen way to many folks using bait headers. I know with Midas I’ll get news as advertised. I do watch and listen to others. Midas it the top out there in my opinion
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau acting Director Russell Vought Wednesday ordered the bureau's employees to eliminate "any and all" activities related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
Russell Cought sounds like one of George's orders to his generals who are in America fighting the Revolution. Will it take another Continental Army to be rid of this treachery that now is destroying our freedom and democracy. Any thoughts?
March 12 : "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau acting Director Russell Vought Wednesday ordered the bureau's employees to eliminate "any and all" activities related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility."
Keep Up The Good Work Thanks For All You Do. And Let’s Bring Fox And Rogan All The Way Down.You Guys Keep Me Wanting To Fight Against These Lies. And Give Me So Much Hope. 💯💯💯💯💯
Oh my goodness your comment reflects just what I feel...when I feel hopeless and get that "what's the use" feeling, I pull up a MTN youtube and/or email and get rejuvenated...as much as by what Ben et al have to say as by the comments of other Meidas Mighty folks. I never realized the power of being a part of a group like this. I've donated to tons of things over the years but never in my life have I felt like a true member of a group and I do with this group.
Thanks so much, Ben! I have been spreading the word about the MeidasTouch Network with everyone I speak with. Many people have been very grateful to learn of another news outlet that speaks facts! Keep up the great work!
Love your coverage! Wondering if you could help to boost protests/ boycotts/ resistance? I noticed it's hard to find coverage of it and the more people see it, maybe the more others would join in
I would like to see interviews with Republican members of Congress. Especially those elected by thin margins. It would be illuminating for us and a potent reminder to them of the ephemeral nature of "being elected".
I wish you would interview AOC and Jasmine Crockett. They are wonderful and you promoting them and they promoting you is great for the Democratic Party.
Hey Ben. I am a 63 year old grandma. I am not adept at posting anything other than this written messaging and I am not alone.
What can I/we do to pull older folks into this who had trouble like me even finding and getting on this Substack? Some of us want to add more than just written content. We want to add to this important challenge with wisdom and support, not just fight-fight-fight.
Some of us like me need an education about social media. I am in this for the poor, confused, hurting people who believed the lies the present regime has spewed who need a safe place to heal. I believe, Ben, this can be that place, and is to an extent.
There is an emotional element connected with these issue of lies that needs something deeper. Maybe a group show with a professional talking about deprogramming. And tutorials on how to use social media to be more effective to getting the message of freedom out.
I’m not a great writer, but this is just some of the issues I see and asking for help to help others, that’s all.
Thank you for giving your life for our country in the ways you do.
I am a 79 year old grandma, and I was already on sub stack to follow folks like Heather Cox Richardson and Dorie Greenspan since the orange turds first term. Now I get so much sub stack stuff, there's no way I can keep up with it all!
Yes! There are lots of older people who “turn on the TV” for news who don’t have Substack on their radar and don’t go to YouTube for news. Reaching them seems critical.
Midas! Congratulations! You’ve earned this through hard work, adherence to your values and dedication to providing fact based reporting. This is a network that has grown to meet the needs of the public who want the evidence based information without heavily biased and compromised reporting that is funded with agendas. Finding reputable media and timely reports of data the world needs to combat the growing misinformation and disinformation climates that impact everything from foreign interference, elected government, economic policy and global safety, is vital to the public. Your efforts provide a great service. It’s NOT A SMALL TASK AND YOU’VE PROVEN YOUR WORTH AND THE INVALUABLE SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC. THANK YOU and congratulations! 🎉 .
People of America and the world are now sick 😫 to their stomach of seeing and hearing the lies being spilled from the White House and fox news and it's broadcasters so it's only fitting for us all to be listening and watching MTN, independent media is the way to receive truth.
Meidas is where we come for news! We know what we saw/heard 1/6 and what we see/hear on a daily basis. You all tell it like it is, whether it's being critical of Trump or critical of weak dems, like Schumer who seem to take our voices/votes for granted. Thank you for all you do!
Midas is my only news source. You guys are the only place to get the truth
I also watch posting by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Justice Matters speaker Glenn Kirschner, Senator Adam Schiff and Hakeem Jeffries. Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Raskin. All these are stalwarts, people who stand for justice, democracy, truth, equality.

AND Heather Cox Richardson. I listen to quite a variety.
Heather Cox Richardson's Letter is the very first thing I read in the morning, apart from the time on my alarm clock ⏰️. Twice alarmed within ten minutes. What a way to wake up to the world. But we must be awake to all of it.
Belle of the Ranch is great for short videos explaining foreign and domestic policy updates, The Bulwark, Brian Tyler Cohen, Lincoln Square
Thank you. This is so satisfying to know Americans are waking up.
I also watch all of these. Also Bryan Tyler Cohen, and Heather Cox Richardson for really illuminating historical/political perspective.

Hakeem Jefferies has been such a disapointment, so ineffectual.
Hey he did better than Schumer. Jeffries kept his caucus together and as a bloc, they voted NO. Schumer is a Vichy Dem and a total invertebrate. Time for new Senate leadership!

I guess he wants to be remembered as Leona Helmsley.
Will be remembered as a traitor
He did explain his reasoning, and it was credible. But it is not what Democratic supporters wanted to do. He misread the room, bigly.
We'll see whether his strategy works.
He gave into the Republicans. He needs to retire.
I totally agree. Who would want to LEGALLY give unencumbered power to Trump in a shutdown??? It's been hard enough when we have legal recourse on our side. I think his big mistake was not getting that message out early and often.

So what in your opinion would be "effectual"? Particularly given he does not control any of the executive branches of power.
HJ is bought by AIPAC, his biggest donor, so he completely ineffectual against Israel's genocide against the Palestinian PEOPLE.
When asked if Schumer should be replaced, he could not go against party top dogs.
Top donors:
AIPAC
Blackrock
Lockheed Martin
MetLife.
HJ had no plan to respond in real time to Trump's congressional speech.
HJ has no plan to be a disruptor. Look where there Dems are in the polls. How is THAT working out.
While HJ SAYS that he supports Medicare-For-All, what did he ever do to enact it? The party leadership would refuse to approve it.
Canadian here. Why does everyone expect Democrats to be effectual in the Middle East? It is a complicated war between two nations that has been burning in the pot all my life...but there is this constant expectation that America, and specifically Democrats, can step in a fix it up overnight. And what specifically did Jeffries fail to do that would have been effectual.
He seems more and more uncomfortable in his role. I suspect he’s being pressed to conform.
He rallied his troops, unlike Schumer! Why the constant slagging of Jeffries?
Always find at least 10-15 minutes a day for IHIPNEWS. Jen and Angie are my #2 go too each day........Stephanie Miller has been the Liberal anchor for years and is plugging MTN often......same with IHN.......Women Power!!!!!
22 Republican senators, dozens of Republican House members voted to fund Ukraine. Many of them call Trump a liar about Putin.
Get those Republicans who oppose Putin on the record!
Impeach. Feathers of Hope. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/p/remove-impeach-impeach
When will Meidas cover it?
The Guardian is another reliable source. For investigative journalism The Atlantic is another.
CBC as well. Which is why the Conservative party wants it defunded! What is it about right wing populists, that they cannot abide anyone calling them out or questioning their policies??
As is Ground News
There are other good sources for news and commentary, too. Having only one source is never a good idea. Just saying.
Dworkin is good; Glenn Kirschner is good; Robert Hubbell is good.....Democracy Docket is good for keeping up with judicial/legal issues and cases.
Also the YouTube channels Back Forty, and Parkrose Permaculture.
I agree. I have seen way to many folks using bait headers. I know with Midas I’ll get news as advertised. I do watch and listen to others. Midas it the top out there in my opinion
Ditto
At age 77 I am blue to the corehttps://giphy.com/gifs/art-cute-3d-e7QhlWUjllr7m3VRSi
100%
Same for me
You are the problem
You have authored this Tragedy, go back into your hole
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau acting Director Russell Vought Wednesday ordered the bureau's employees to eliminate "any and all" activities related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
He's a real prince, isn't he! Right up there with Stephen "lose the children" Miller on the goblin level.
Russell Cought sounds like one of George's orders to his generals who are in America fighting the Revolution. Will it take another Continental Army to be rid of this treachery that now is destroying our freedom and democracy. Any thoughts?
I meant Russell Vought
March 12 : "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau acting Director Russell Vought Wednesday ordered the bureau's employees to eliminate "any and all" activities related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility."
And 60 minutes did a story on how the United States Military band is now discouraging minorities from joining.
Is Russ Pus aware that you're using his name to post this chud spam?
People tired of being gaslit and lied to.
Meidas Mighty is the only source of truth!
Sounds like a lot of lost Trump votes! How nice!!!
Thank you, Ben, for introducing me to the Dropkick Murphys yesterday, and showing how they engage from the stage with their MAGA fans!
Yes!!! For an old gal who is still stuck in the 60s with the music of Peter Paul and Mary and Pete Seeger, this was very refreshing!
Hah! Their music has never been so relevant!
That's exactly what I said as I watched, "A Complete Unknown", last night. Great movie! Dylan, Baez, Seeger, Guthrie....
All I can say is THANK GOD for this podcast and THANK YOU for being a massive part of exposing this hideous regime! Cheers
Me Too Thank God For The MeidasTouch Yea 💯💯💯👍👌👍

I know we all in this together I’m so thankful. I didn’t think I would feel like this after the election.
Me too. Never Trumper. No social media in my life. Love America 🇺🇸. MeidasMighty proud. Since 2020

I just learned you guys have a YouTube through this…
Tell your friends!
Same!
Love your coverage! Wondering if you could help to boost protests/ boycotts/ resistance? I noticed it's hard to find coverage of it and the more people see it, maybe the more others would join in
Rachel maddow podcast is great for coverage of protests here and around the world.
I would like to see interviews with Republican members of Congress. Especially those elected by thin margins. It would be illuminating for us and a potent reminder to them of the ephemeral nature of "being elected".
Need more coverage of the protests and town halls going on against Trump and musk Follow you several times a day. Keep up the fight.
Such great news!
I wish you would interview AOC and Jasmine Crockett. They are wonderful and you promoting them and they promoting you is great for the Democratic Party.
Also Chris murphy. He won me over with this speech
