On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: It was a brutal day in the markets after Donald Trump declared it a “great day to buy” — and then everything tanked. We break down the apparent pump-and-dump scheme, ask who knew what and when, and examine the ripple effects as the bond market implodes, mortgage rates shoot past 7%, and China mocks America’s instability. Meanwhile, Trump’s authoritarian regime continues to “disappear” people, a supposed MS-13 leader has charges dismissed in a shocking turn, and a leaked clip shows Trump bragging about how rich his friends got after his stock scheme. Plus, the SAVE Act, the GOP budget, and a Supreme Court update in the Abrego Garcia case. Ben, Brett and Jordy break down that and more on today’s episode.

Trump is the one who needs to be incarcerated in El Savador.
Yes, bald and bent over, criss cross apple sauce on the floor butted up against some big stinky and gassy man... just like him!
Trump, Vance, Musk, Trump's Cabinet, GOPs, J6s, are the ones who should be incarcerated in El Salvador.
As an individual, I have been part of protests for years but this is on another level. Going to Los Angeles for the Town Hall with Bernie, AOC and others. IT WILL BE HUGE! I know this because we are all having trouble getting a ticket for the trains to L.A. because they are completely booked on a Saturday morning. No one wants to drive to LA but this tells you there will be thousands there. Can't wait to have my voice heard!
Joan Baez representing for some of us older folk!
It will be a great event to be part of!
Give a hearty yell for me! I wish so much I could go from up here in the middle of WA.
Great job Meidas Touch
I took all of my retirement account out of the market. Doesn't matter what the market does. I don't trust any of them if ever. My money will be out of the market until Trump dies....just hoping.
I wish you the best, Michele. Dump is the kind of psycho in the Oval Office who will NEVER die. (Sorry to be so negative here!)
Love Jordy's passion. He says what we're all feeling. Trump is psychotic.
Keep being loud!

WHY Isn't Dictator LYING Conspiracy Theorist Nutjob Donnie In PRISON? This Filthy Lying POS POWER HUNGRY PIG!
Trump is the one who needs to be incarcerated in El Savador.
Because he’s a filthy rich POS !
I am so tired of having to wake up every morning just to be met by whatever idiocy has occurred,
I think all the people in Trump's sphere that profited off of insider trading, off of stealing from our 401Ks, this market manipulation should definitely be arrested. I think their punishment should be that all their funds and assets are frozen for 5 years and until that 5 year period is over they'll have to live off of $3600/month. I know for some that's more money than what they make in a month and for others they make more... but the crooks, it would be horrible. Let them eat Ramen because that's all the budget will allow! Let them pass up the fresh produce and meat department for the frozen and canned isles!
Make it $100/month or less.
You should ALWAYS remind people that Drumpf is the oldest person ever to be elected President and that he's in visibly mental decline.
He was even in decline the last time he was in office. But then again, he was, still is, and will ALWAYS be a mental case.
He has his physical ( he really enjoys the part where the Doc puts on the rubber glove) today so expect a flurry of BS tweets about how he has the health of a (insert your favorite noun or adjective here)
Impending impeachment followed by incarceration for the 34 x charged felon/rapist/fraud
...and he needs to be there for life.
Everything I read and listen to regarding the market manipulation is only half right. Yes, we should try to find out who bought with insider knowledge but the BIG money was made on those who took SHORT positions right before the tariff announcement last week.
If they would just do their jobs and have all of them arrested all the US problems would be over.
...and especially arrest Dump and put him in prison for life.

One of those 4 democrat representatives that voted for the SAVE voting bill is Marie Glusenkamp-Perez from WA state. She won't allow anyone from outside her district to contact her. What a coward!!! How she can call herself a democrat when she has voted more times with the Republicans is just shameful!
Then she’s not really a Democrat…
She wants in on the money making schemes and corruption like the rest of them. She's really a maga loyalist.
I live in Washington State and unfortunately, you're right. She belongs in a CON state, not in "my" state. So embarrassing.
Okay, guys, how much do WE hate him?
To me, he ranks up there with the guy who ruled Germany from the mid-1930's through 1945.

"The sickening secret sauce to Trump's political success."
"THE ANSWER: Racism.
THE QUESTION: How in the hell did we get here?
There is no other way to explain the American-attacking Trump’s rise to power, and most important, his ability to hold onto it despite being easily the stupidest, most dishonest, and openly bigoted man to ever step foot in our White House.
Just four years after trying to take a blowtorch to our votes, he is busy incinerating our life’s savings, and making measles great again, yet tens of millions of Americans are still stubbornly standing in his corner no matter what.
And I am not talking about the millionaires and billionaires who have gobs of money to gain while these markets are intentionally shorted, either. I am talking about Joe and Jane America, who are watching their retirement savings go up in smoke. I am talking about farmer Fred, whose Trump sign that he has defiantly planted in his field is now worth more than the crops he is growing at a loss.
I am talking about people who you know, and maybe even live with.
Go ahead and say what you want about this wretched, burnt-orange monster (please), but it's your friends and family who still support him who are to blame for this terrible, terrible mess we are in right now.
Without them, there is no him." (Raw Story)......

Meanwhile this poor man rots away in an El Salvadorian prison, and his family suffer here in the U.S. So horrible in so many ways.

This is gut wretchingly awful. Seeing these people fawning all over this narcissist idiot is just so disgusting.
There are so many reckless things occurring with trade, immigrants, Federal programs,our food chain, and impacting everyday people. The impact of the reduction in national security from looking away from hackers, to the five eyes not trusting us to share information. This is a very dangerous point in time for our country both financially, and militarily. The brain drain from our most important positions will be devastating for decades.
Great job guys. Keep up the great work you do each and every day.
Most corrupt president ever!
"The Social Security Administration spends a lot of time and money making sure that it finds out when people die. Now, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are using that work to attack legal immigrants, by declaring them dead in Social Security’s Death Master File.1
Because Social Security’s Death Master File is used by banks, credit bureaus, and other financial institutions, Trump and Musk are claiming the power to legally declare their enemies dead with a simple keystroke―with no oversight.
We have stood up to Trump and Musk before, and we’ve won! We can do it again! They have backed down when we pushed back on stealing our sensitive data and on slashing services Social Security allows you to access over the phone. We can win this too."

There has never been any question about that Donald Trump is an immoral clunk fuck felon, woman hater, cheat, liar, assole., orange assole dumb fuck.. Everybody knows that. That was common knowledge and he still won the election It does absolutely no good to keep dwelling on this assole. Where are the Democratic candidates?? That should be the focus, and please do not drees up another worn out leftist clown, put an apple in her mouth,and deny that she is still a pig
He did NOT win the election. See Election Truth Alliance for proof musk rigged the election. They STOLE the election. See Vigilante Inc - doco details how over 4 million + votes were lost due to suppression.
When the people are scared they are easy to manipulate. Its hard to see a positive future outcomes when your getting your chain yanked , you get depressed and the feeling of hopelessness.

Their plan to destroy the American economy will end in the Decertification of Convicted Felon47 and all of these GOP members will be thrown out eventually. The law will come bearing down on this administration. The AIM strategy will turn things around. The ETA using the AIM system is almost ready with the last part (M) of their investigation. The exposure is around the corner. Democracy will eventually win in the end but it will also have a lifelong lesson in exposing the Heritage Foundation. It will be part of the cleansing of the entire unhealthy part of the American system. The American people who have been brain washed by Fox for years are waking up. The amount of people protesting in the streets are proof. Thanks to the Dems, Bernie, MTN and other podcasters for democracy. There still is HOPE.

It was inside trading! Lock up the Trump Regime!
Those disgusting clips from the cabinet meeting is JUST like his first term! Anyone else remember that first cabinet meeting where the first part was filmed and televised, and the cabinet members one by one would make remarks of praise and thanks and groveling to Trump? Up to now, that was one of the most horrifying and North Korean-style obsequiousness displays I had ever seen! It literally made me nauseated. But now we have a new cabinet with even more groveling than in Trump 1.0. How do these people justify to themselves, their families, their friends that they are willing to prostrate themselves and give verbal worship to this ignorant, hateful, and venal person?? Unless your family would face a firing squad otherwise, WHAT is the justification for this sickening behavior?
Follow the money honey. They're all benefiting from King Con and his get rich quick thieving schemes.
Look at the clip w Elon Musk in the cabinet meeting again - Trump is not happy. Soon it will be YOU'RE FIRED ELON MUSK!
Inflation is on the horizon; big inflation.
Trumps revised Gettysburg address: 'Government of the Rich, by the Rich, for the Rich, shall not perish from the Earth.'
I am encouraged by a couple of the Supreme Court rulings in the past two days. I have been emailing them and asking them where their integrity is and how they are supporting the Constitution. Since, for now, the Supreme Court is the only thing Trump seems to listen to, let's hope they keep making the choices to protect our democracy and Constitution.
Trump should get more prison time than Martha Stewart.

I love you guys , thank you for everything you do ! When a dictator takes over , the premise from what I read is to normalize lies, manipulation is key. Keep lying , telling population what they are seeing, knowing is not a lie is a lie , deny , lie and continue shock and awe antics , look there not here. Creating doubt and chaos and confusion is the goal. Submission comes as the divided country starts to draw the boundary of the “ supporters “ and non supporters. Martial law next. ?

Trump is a convicted felon (34 counts I might add) so it is to be expected that he likes to do things that white collar criminals do to keep in shape like broadcasting thats its a good time to buy stocks just hours before he decided to cave on his tariff scam once his handlers told him he could throw the whole shebang into a grand old depression by cratering the bond markets. He really has no idea how things work even though his compliant gang of Media and GOP operatives ,who actually know better, keep trying to a gaslight the Country into believing the guy is some kind of business genius while he runs his shakedown scheme. His WH web site had in all caps the other day “DO NOT RETALIATE ,YOU WIL BE REWARDED” seriously wtf is that ? Sounds like something you would whisper to your dog while giving it a bath
He even got his head buffoon Mike Johnson to say “its a good time to buy stocks” with a smile after passing the disastrous bill aimed at destroying many benefits enjoyed by his low information red State magas. Those billionaires have to get their investment back somehow.
Mike Johnson is a closet case. He definitely isn’t Christian.

On the other hand, three major firms are suing Trump’s administration for their efforts to intimidate and extort them (my words, not theirs), including Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale.
And over 1600 attorneys who work for the big firms, that have bowed down to Trump’s intimidation, have signed a letter demanding they do better.
They wrote: “When we are united, we cannot be intimidated. These tactics only work if the majority does not speak up. Our hope was that our employers, some of the most profitable law firms in the world, would lead the way. That has not yet been the case.”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, yelled at Fox News host, Bill Hemmer, for asking if President Donald Trump's administration would return a man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador.
During a Monday interview, Hemmer wondered if the Trump administration would follow a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said it must "facilitate" the return of Maryland resident, Kilmar Abrego Garcia."
"The Supreme Court says you have to facilitate that," Hemmer told Miller.
"So I want to correct, I hate to do it, Bill, but I got to correct you on every single thing that you said, because it was all wrong," Miller argued. "A district court judge said unconscionably that the president and his administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one of their citizens, an El Salvadorian citizen, so that would be kidnapping, that we have to kidnap an El Salvadorian citizen against the will of his government, and fly him back to America, which would be an unimaginable act, and an invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty."

"President Trump says CBS and ’60 Minutes’ should ‘pay a big price’ for going after him."
"President Donald Trump bitterly attacked “60 Minutes”, shortly after the CBS news magazine broadcast stories on Ukraine and Greenland on Sunday, saying the network was out of control and should “pay a big price” for going after him.
“Almost every week, 60 Minutes ... mentions the name ‘TRUMP’ in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend’s ‘BROADCAST’ tops them all,” the president said on his Truth Social platform.
He called on Federal Communications Commission Chairman, Brendan Carr, to impose maximum fines and punishment “for their unlawful and illegal behavior.”
The network had no immediate comment.
Trump has an ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against “60 Minutes”, for how it edited an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris last fall. The president claims it was edited in a way to make Harris look good, something the newscast denies. But there are ongoing reports that Trump’s lawyers and CBS’ parent company are involved in settlement talks." (AP News)......

Trump does not care. All he does is eat, play golf (cheats), lie, and spend taxpayer's money. He is lazy! He delegates everything, so when something goes awry, he claims not knowing about it, or blaming someone else. He doesn't accept responsibility or accountability, that the buck stops at him. He is a weak, feloneous, vile, lying piss poor definition of a man, let alone a president. He is the devil incarnate, and is intent on destroying the United States, plus wreak as much havoc as he can on the rest of the world. Trump is absolutely as insane as Hitler was.

"Pam Bondi melts down over questions about deportation of innocent men."
"U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi briefly stopped to answer reporters’ questions outside of the White House on Tuesday, but she floundered then fled when challenged on the hundreds of immigrants the Trump administration shipped to a notorious prison in El Salvador.
When asked about the “60 Minutes” report revealing that 75% of the men illegally deported to the maximum security CECOT prison have no known criminal record, Bondi delivered a bizarre rant in response.
“Well, they’re not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country, who are committing the most violent crimes,” Bondi began. “So if you committed a murder in our country, we're going to keep you here and we're going to seek the death penalty, and we're going to keep you in prison because our victims’ families deserve that,” she said, contradicting the administration’s repeated claims of deporting only the most violent criminals.
“But we don't have to charge them with average crime,” Bondi added nonsensically. “We can deport them and get them out of our country and save room in our prisons, because they should have never been in our country to begin with.”
Well, that’s as clear as mud.
“So you confirm they didn’t commit a crime?” the reporter asked, and Bondi could not get away fast enough." (Daily Kos)......

"House GOP passes budget that guts Medicaid to give tax cuts to the rich."

Republicans passed the budget by a vote of 216-214, with all Democrats and two Republicans—Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Victoria Spartz of Indiana—voting against it.
The fate of the budget blueprint was in doubt, as Republican hardliners wanted assurances that the budget would require the steep cuts to federal expenditures—which will most likely come from Medicaid and food stamps. But they all fell in line under pressure from House Speaker Mike Johnson and Dear Leader Donald Trump." (Daily Kos)......

"Tell Congress: Revoke Trump’s Tariff Authority."
"Donald Trump just pushed the global economy to the brink of a trade crisis — and even though he’s now announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs, the damage is already being felt.
After unveiling a sweeping and incoherent tariff plan with no clear economic justification, the stock market tanked. Trillions in American wealth were wiped out almost overnight, with major indexes plunging and retirement savings evaporating. Leading economists have described Trump’s approach as reckless, erratic, and deeply destabilizing for working families, small businesses, and the broader economy.
Now, after triggering a financial shockwave, Trump is trying to walk it back — but a 90-day pause does nothing to resolve the underlying chaos. His decision to unilaterally impose and then delay tariffs exposes a dangerous truth: America’s trade policy is being dictated by impulse, not strategy.
Congress has the authority to intervene.
While presidents have historically had broad discretion over tariff policy, Congress can revoke or restrict that power through legislation. And there are already signs of growing bipartisan concern. On April 2, the Senate held a vote to reverse Trump’s tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Although the resolution did not pass, it was supported by four Republican Senators — a clear signal that even members of his own party are alarmed.
The stakes are high. These tariffs are driving up costs for consumers, undermining global supply chains, and threatening the financial security of millions of Americans. If Congress fails to act, there’s nothing to stop Trump from resuming — or expanding — this economically disastrous approach once the pause ends.
Please add your name to demand that Congress revoke Trump’s reckless tariff authority and restore responsible, stable oversight over U.S. trade policy, before the damage gets even worse." (Action Network)......

"DOGE won’t comply with the Freedom of Information Act. So we’re suing."
"Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency are taking a battle ax to Social Security, the Department of Education, health research, environmental protection, airline safety, NPR, foreign aid, nuclear security, and more.
Much of it is likely illegal, and virtually all of it is happening behind closed doors and with zero oversight from Congress, creating unimaginable potential for self-dealing and corruption.
Our message to Elon: No more.
The Intercept is suing DOGE under the Freedom of Information Act to demand it hand over the documents that the public is entitled to see, so we can finally uncover exactly what’s happening, who’s in charge, and what laws it may be breaking.
Elon Musk has imposed major cuts on the Social Security Administration, which keeps 22 million people out of poverty. He effectively shut down USAID, which saves an estimated 3.3 million lives a year around the world, through disease prevention and humanitarian relief.
But for his sweeping, indiscriminate cuts, there’s one major government contractor that hasn’t seen a single cut so far.
That would be SpaceX, the space technology firm owned by Musk himself.
There’s plenty to cut, if they wanted to. Musk’s companies have 52 ongoing deals with seven government agencies and have received a total of at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits, with most of that government money going to SpaceX.
That’s why we’re fighting so hard to bring DOGE’s operations into the light of day.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, the public has a right to access the kinds of documents that would shed light on DOGE’s operations, and The Intercept’s legal team has filed a series of FOIA requests to do just that.
But instead of complying with the law, they’ve stonewalled us, claiming that the Freedom of Information Act doesn’t apply to DOGE. So we’re taking them to court.
STAND WITH THE INTERCEPT.

The J6ers/insurrectionists that Trump pardoned, are the ones who should be incarcerated in El Salvidor.
"Privatizing the post office is a way to lay off 80,000 union workers."
"During his first term, Donald Trump installed a Postmaster General who wanted to privatize the USPS, along with enough members of the Postal Board that that Postmaster could not be fired by Joe Biden.
Now, Trump is back in the White House―and his plans privatization are so extreme that even Postmaster General Louis DeJoy wanted no part of it. DeJoy resigned, and now there’s nothing holding Trump’s privatization scheme back.
Our mail is sorted and delivered by more than 500,000 union members, mostly represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers and the American Postal Workers Union. If Trump succeeds in privatizing the USPS, those workers would be laid off and replaced with non-union contractors. We can’t let that happen!
Congress has a new resolution with support from both parties, standing up to Trump’s USPS Privatization plan! Tell Congress to pass it!
During DeJoy’s tenure, he rolled out a system of price increases and delays that make the mail slower, less reliable, and more expensive. Now, Trump is crashing the economy and could try to roll USPS privatization into any recovery plan, as a “necessary hardship,” even when that was his intention all along.
Privatization wouldn’t just mean lost jobs―it means higher costs, reduced access, and the total elimination of mail services in areas where private companies refuse to deliver. For rural Americans, this isn’t just inconvenient, it’s catastrophic.
The United States Postal Service is one of the most treasured things our country does. Demand Congress protects it!"

"Social Security on the brink of "total system collapse".
"Elon Musk's indiscriminate cuts to Social Security are pushing the entire program to the brink of "total system collapse."
"Dozens of Social Security field offices have been closed. The website keeps crashing. Calls to the Social Security customer service phone line are being left on hold for over three hours.
Now Trump is pushing Congress to eliminate nearly all the payroll taxes that fund Social Security, which would force the program to shut down virtually overnight.
This is an all-hands-on-deck emergency, and we're fighting back by mobilizing tens of thousands of people to contact Congress.
Social Security lifts over 27 million Americans out of poverty each and every year.
But Elon Musk — the richest person in the world — calls Social Security the "biggest Ponzi scheme of all time" and shared a post calling Social Security beneficiaries a "parasite class."
Musk falsely claims that there are tens of millions of dead people collecting Social Security checks and that 40 percent of the phone calls to Social Security's customer service line are from people trying to scam money out of the system.
These are all flat-out lies — but the more that people believe them, the easier it will be for Trump and Musk to kill Social Security.
This could be the greatest threat to Social Security that we've ever faced, but a major backlash is brewing. Last weekend, people all over the country joined Hands Off! rallies, and we're helping to flood Capitol Hill with phone calls and petition signatures.

"‘Broken promise, abuse of power’: Conservative WSJ editors slam Trump after latest antic."
"The Wall Street Journal’s conservative editorial board eviscerated President Donald Trump in a biting opinion piece on Friday that turned the tables on the MAGA leader for repeatedly vowing to end the “unfair weaponization of the Justice Department.”
But the president did just that with a pair of “extraordinary” executive orders directing his DOJ to launch probes into two members of his former administration he now views as his political enemies, the editorial board wrote.“This is a broken promise, an abuse of power, and another twist down the spiral of politicized law enforcement,” according to the board.
The Journal’s group of editors seemed particularly convinced that Trump is engaging in “precisely what Democrats did to him” by “picking targets first, publicly announcing them, and only then looking for misdeeds and evidence, Mr. Trump is doing.”
The presidential directives came Wednesday during an Oval Office signing ceremony where Trump called former Homeland Security cybersecurity director Chris Krebs “a disgrace” and “fraud.” Trump made similar statements about former DHS official Miles Taylor, who he said was “guilty of treason,” as he asked his DOJ to investigate the two former Republican officials."

"'It’s already in the cards': Trump impeachment urged by WSJ editorial board member."
"In a column published late Friday, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board claimed it would be "desirable" to subject Donald Trump to a third impeachment to make up for the damage he has done to the U.S. economy with his "ill-founded" trade war.
According to longtime columnist Holman W. Jenkins Jr., Trump's on-again, off-again tariff threats almost makes it appear he wants to be impeached, with Jenkins writing, "A future Trump impeachment seemed all but guaranteed by last Wednesday morning. It seems only slightly less likely now. It may even be desirable to restore America’s standing with creditors and trade partners."
As he sees it, the president's last great achievement was being re-elected in 2024, and the damage he has been creating since then belies his promise of a "golden age," so an impeachment is "already ion the cards." (Raw Story)......

"'It's a mess': Trump's tariffs 'not being collected', after major glitch hits ports."
"Trump's draconian new tariffs regime is now being delayed, due to a "glitch" that has arisen at U.S. ports, CNBC reported on Friday, in the latest blow that threw even more uncertainty into how markets and international trade are functioning.
An alert sent out to shippers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection "notified users of a glitch in the system that is used to exempt freight from tariffs, including shipments from China that were already on the water at the time of this week’s whipsaw in tariffs policy, and any trade from nations now under the 90-day pause put in place by the Trump administration," reported Lori Ann LaRocco. "The alert explained that U.S. Customs discovered that the entry code for U.S. shippers to use to have their freight exempted is not working and 'the issue is being reviewed.'" (Raw Story)......

"It didn’t take long for President Donald Trump’s tariffs to hit the pocketbooks of American consumers – and some businesses are making no secret of why new surcharges are appearing on their bills.
That’s according to a new report in Bloomberg, which detailed how a growing crop of businesses – ranging from companies selling shower heads to adult toys – are beginning to slap “Trump tariff” surcharges onto customers’ bills. It’s a “marketing gimmick” that could provide a financial boost to some specialized brands struggling under the steep new tariffs affecting Chinese goods, the report added." (Raw Story)......

"Trump replaces Obama portrait with painting of... himself."
"Donald Trump took his rivalry with Barack Obama to the walls of the White House Friday, replacing a portrait of the former US president with one of himself surviving an assassination attempt.
The 78-year-old Republican moved the picture of the Democrat, the only Black US president, to the opposite side of the famed residence's grand entrance hallway.
The move is a highly unusual one for a sitting president, as most must wait to leave office before getting their portrait hung in the historic 200-year-old building.
"Some new artwork at the White House," the White House said on X, along with a video of people walking past Trump's new picture in the spot by the main stairwell where Obama's formerly hung.
The new painting shows the iconic moment when a bloodied Trump pumped his fist and shouted "fight", after a gunman shot him in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024." (Raw Story)......

"Maybe it's just too soon to tell, but I'm just wondering if any potential customers have expressed any concerns just because of the volatility of the market and the potential impact of the tariffs," said anchor Jake Tapper." (Raw Story)......

"Details of Trump's medical exam to be released ‘as soon as we possibly can’: White House."
"The White House on Friday pledged to release a detailed update of Donald Trump’s health, after the oldest president in U.S. history underwent his annual medical examination earlier in the day.
“I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform before the examination, which was performed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
While it wasn’t immediately clear how long physicians examined the 78-year-old president, he spent more than five hours at the medical center before boarding Air Force One, where he flew to Florida for the weekend, the Guardian reported Friday.
But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt promised more details would be forthcoming." (Raw Story)......

"Senior Social Security official removed by security, after pointing out illegal plans."
"According to a new report from the Washington Post, a senior official in the Social Security Administration was marched out of his office, after he confronted one of Elon Musk's outside hires over a change in policy that he deemed illegal.
The report states that "well-regarded" official Greg Pearre raised objections when Scott Coulter, the newly installed chief information officer, detailed his plans to transfer the migrants’ names into a Social Security death database, thereby halting their ability to make a living by working.
According to the report, Pearre told Coulter, "the plan was illegal, cruel, and risked declaring the wrong people dead, according to three people familiar with the event," which led to his being escorted out of his office and placed on leave." (Raw Story)......

"Trump, dementia, and the duty to warn."
"To ensure that the United States will always be led by a coherent, functioning President, the Twenty-Fifth Amendment provides for the prompt, orderly, and democratic transfer of executive power in the event the president is incapacitated, physically or mentally.
Trump’s tariff debacle, where he thrust out his chest, flung economic incoherence at the world, then flip flopped only two days later, was the strongest evidence yet- in a roiling sea of evidence- that he is mentally incapacitated.
Despite inheriting the strongest post-covid economy in the world, Trump keeps insisting that the US economy is broken and in need of saving.
He insists global trading partners who sell us more than they buy from us- even countries that are a fraction of our size- are “taking advantage.”
Trump’s tariff drama was so asinine, he’s either self-dealing or insane. Frankly, although they are not mutually exclusive, I’d prefer the former. I only wish that rumors swirling in the media today, suggesting Trump’s tariffs were a hustle, an insider scheme meant to enrich his backers, were true. Trump being a self-dealing crook poses less danger to the world than him making than no sense at all.
Leaders of the EU are too intelligent to sneer out loud at Trump’s flip flop on tariffs. Aware of his deranged lust for revenge, they are reluctant to utter the truth about his economic ignorance. But the world is aware, even if Americans aren’t, that our president is deranged.
Because Trump’s administration has refused to release his medical records, other mental health professionals have come forward with their own assessments. The emerging consensus is that Trump, showing cognitive decline, is presenting signs of advanced dementia." (Raw Story)......

- thanks for fighting for American and Canada !!!!
We real Americans are so sorry Canada.
We have a big billionaire/dictator problem here and you and Europe may want to think of busting up corporations and taxing billionaires before they do it to you. Definitely ban what they can put into any campaign
China and Japan has a lot of USA bonds. DJT should be scared of the bonds versus tariffs.
E O"S are killing our democracy... Heritage Foundation knew it would... Presidential Immunity is killing our democracy... Thank you supremes....
Thank you for this..
Why are trump's Executive Orders being put into effect seemingly upon signing, when the determination of their legality is in question? We do not have to let the trump regime get away with the wholesale destruction of our government, just because he says so. We need to put SCOTUS to the test and make them declare exactly who they are and what they're doing right now. If there is no precedent for suing a sitting president, the WE, THE PEOPLE, have to set new ones.
How do we file a class action suit against him and his minions? THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES V TRUMP. How can we make this happen?
I hate liars!!! This regime is destroying our beautiful country and how in the hell will we survive this POS and the rest of the clowns. Does any republican have a conscience or even care about the people who voted for them?

The amount of delusional things that come from that mans mouth are absolutely insane!!! I believe he just doesn't know how all the different systems works! Specialized departments have specialized computer systems! I'm concerned about the information he's already stolen for the American people that he can do whatever he wants with! The Social security department has said they have grave concerns about their systems since Elon & the DOGE boys have hacked them! The fact that they are saying Social security is going to be handled on Musk's social media platform is absolutely insane!!! I don't know about others but I certainly don't want my information on X or Twitter or whatever they want to call it now! I certainly don't want to go on that discusting social media platform to do anything especially to be the only way I can access my own social security information!!!
