By Ben Meiselas
I’ve done a lot of interviews, but this one with Senator Elizabeth Warren hit different.
We dove into what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest financial scandals in modern American history. Donald Trump, who’s turned the presidency into a pump-and-dump scheme for his failing media company and billionaire friends, posted “great time to buy” while signing it DJT—his own stock symbol—just hours before a sudden tariff “pause” announcement. The markets surged right before the announcement. Coincidence? Yeah, right.
Senator Warren laid it out clearly: someone made billions off that timing. If those trades were based on inside info, that’s not just unethical—it’s criminal. But as she reminded us, under the Trump regime, the DOJ and SEC are too busy disappearing migrants and chasing MAGA fantasies to investigate obvious white-collar crimes. That’s why Warren and a group of lawmakers are demanding state attorneys general step in and investigate. Because someone has to.
And if that wasn’t enough, she torched Trump’s economic policy for what it is: chaos. The kind of chaos that drives consumer confidence off a cliff, sends treasury yields skyrocketing, and forces everyday Americans to check the futures market before bed like we’re living in a dystopian financial thriller.
Warren didn’t hold back on Elon Musk either, calling out his bizarre role in Trump’s cabinet reality show and his laughable math on supposed “savings” from gutting public services. The punchline? Firing veterans, teachers, and financial watchdogs while pretending it’s “fiscal responsibility.” Give me a break.
What we’re witnessing isn’t leadership. It’s a billionaire boys club strip-mining the country while they cackle over champagne and pink slips.
But there’s a path forward. Warren and Sen. Ron Wyden have introduced a resolution to strip Trump of the fake emergency powers he’s abusing to impose these catastrophic tariffs. If just a handful of Republicans could grow a spine, they could put an end to the chaos—today. But we know how these folks operate.
In the meantime, if you ever wanted to see what real leadership looks like—leadership that stands up for working families instead of billionaire cronies—watch this interview. Keep spreading the word and add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify today.
That day was nothing more than a pump and dump scam. Thank you for all you do.
Ask Congressional Republicans to support removing Trump tariff authority.

Thank you for your integrity and courage!!!
She is just as compromised as Trump. Both Congress and the Senate are exempt from insider trading laws. They invest based on bills they know they will pass in the future, this is why almost all of them become millionaires within a few short years on a 180K salary.
Washington DC is a nest of whores and vipers. Trust none of them or be played for a fool.
You have receipts for this accusation against Senator Warren?!?
Kathryn, great question. So show us the receipts. 👍
WRONG! It was signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 4, 2012. The law prohibits the use of non-public information for private profit, including insider trading, by members of Congress and other government employees.
In April of 2012, the United States Congress passed the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act) which made it clear for the first time that the laws against insider trading also apply to members of Congress and their staff members (Belmont et al., 2020).
@ Tritorch. "Both Congress and the Senate are exempt from insider trading laws." is bullshit.
As a matter of fact they have to file monthly reports of all trades and are audited.
All of Congress is exempt from insider trading laws. AOC just recently said that it has to stop. But since they're the ones who have to vote it out (and they're the ones getting rich off it) it'll never happen! I wonder who in congress took advantage of last week's downturn. AOC asked congress members to fess up now before an investigation ensues. It'll be interesting to see what comes of it.
MYTH: Members of Congress are exempt from insider trading laws.
FACT: Both a Congressional Research Service Report and House Administration Committee memo indicates that Members of Congress are subject to the same insider trading rules as the general public.
If you have to lie to make your point, your entire premise is suspect.
Incorrect. Everyone is subject to insider trading laws. AOC's point is that anyone in Congress INHERENTLY has insider information (and power) which is why they should be banned from trading individual stocks. For example, bills that help individual industries/corporations come before congress all the time. If a Congress person knows that a bill is likely to pass and that Corp A will likely benefit from it, they can buy the stock of Corp A ahead of time, enriching themselves in the process. That's just wrong. And that is not even to mention the fact that if a Congress person owns stock in corp A, which stands to gain from proposed legislation, are they going to vote against it even if they believe it is bad for the country overall? Allowing congress to own individual stocks just invites corruption!
Those of us who worked for the government (at a certain level) lived in a fishbowl. We had an annual financial filing and monthly reports if we were traders. Those reports were subject to audits. You can find the financial statements on the internet. Many government employees volutarily use a "blind trust" or use a trustee to manage financial affairs.
The House Ethics Committee currently has several cases that they are investigating.
I agree that Congress (for that matter judges and some others) should not be permitted to trade common stock.

What I would really like to know is 1) how much money did MTG, for example, have before she was elected versus 2) how much money does she have now. Besides her daddy's business that she inherited, it appears that she owned a gym? Most people who open gyms do not become milionaires. Where did all her money come from??
It's laid out in her annual reports. She had to file one when first elected, and filed every year after that.

Tri torch, which one are you? A viper or a whore? Take your maga BS and lies to those that believe them, and it's not MTN
YOU are full of it and you obvioously do not know the first thing about Senator Warren. Of course, you are probably just MAGA on here spreading the same 'bothsidism' lies that led us to this disaster. DO NOT TRUST THIS POSTER!
Actually no. I'm not maga. Why would AOC have said it if it wasn't true! Check out SB 3405. It was introduced in Jan 2022 and deferred. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3504/all-info
This was in response to the poster TriTorch who said that "<Warren> is just as compromised as trump", which is just objectively false. My other comment regarding insider trader explains that AOC said that she does not believe that congress should be able to trade stocks at all because they are, in effect, inherently insiders hearing about and making decisions on laws that affect industries and corporations all the time. It is illegal for anyone to insider trade and Congress is not exempt.
Ok, I apologize. I guess it’s not always a good idea to reply when you’re distracted, lol.😅I’ll remove my comment asap. Have a good day I hope!🙏🏼🌷
No worries. This type of conversation makes it difficult to see who is responding to who. Have a great day and thank you for your efforts to be an informed citizen and to fight the good fight.
Everyone knows by now that this is just a sorely sad and VERY overused “Republican” response (excuse) bc u really have no TRUE or LEGIT defense (as whataboutism isn’t one) against your “party’s” blatant monumental hypocrisy…so please, go do better. The pure refusal now by GOP/Maga to even TRY to create or participate in ACTUAL solutions absolutely shouldn’t get them right to criticize, nor should it even further ALLOW them a seat at the “grown-ups” table anymore. It used to be that to GET respect, you had to EARN it, not demand or try forcing it.😉

TriTorch, this comment is broad, baseless, and in my experience, misapplied..
i think that's mean.....it's like saying biden is a crime family and tRUMP's is not--i don't think elizabeth warren has it in her.........she doesn't care about money, i do think she wants to be secure, don't we all but she wld never insider trade......i wld put my money on it, and i dont have much............who does inthis country except these creeps who want AND GET more and more?
Attacking the investigators! Good one!
She owned property in Cambridge, Ma BEFORE she became a senator. It's almost certainly worth $millions now!
Wrong. Misinfomation.

Trump, Vance, Musk, Trump's Cabinet, GOPs, J6s, are the ones who should be incarcerated in El Salvador.
I dream of seeing the dump chained , shackled, head shaved and forced to perp walk bent over at his fat waist, headed for Getmo.
I'd vote for that! And should be able to 🤬
Totally agree!
Yessssss
Stay on this Sen. Warren!
When are some of these self-proclaimed, self-absorbed, so called macho men, in the GOP and MAGA, going to stand up to felon, predator, traitor Trump, FOR OUR COUNTRY, DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTION, RULE OF LAW?!
So far they have proven to be lying spineless cowardly traitors, who continue to kiss Trump's ass for a buck, and for Iawless unlimited power!
How do they even look their children, families, and constituents in the eyes, while betraying them all every day.
They will all be recorded in history, as a complete corrupt disgrace, traitors to the United States of America, who chose to turn their backs on the USA, betray us, and team with wannabe dictator Trump, communist murderous Putin, and for stomping all over our Constitution, laws, and the people of the United States of America. This is their legacy.
TRUMP + GOP + MAGA = TRAITORS
Turns out we've had a lot of history glossed over. For the sake of all generations, we better not let it happen again.
Another FELONY. FINE AND IMPEACH
Criminal trump is the worst of all time just manufactured a stock market crash to provide bribe and grift opportunities! How much did Apple pay to the felon to get cell phones exempt from the tariff tax?
History repeats itself: Democrats build and rebuild and Republicans destroy. Some things never change. Special interest always go to the Red party because they what they want and the red party want power and control.
That's why I couldn't believe so many thought Trump would be better than Harris on the economy.
That's why I wear this "Don't blame me, I voted for her" shirt every day 👇
https://libtees.dashery.com/products/74030236-dont-blame-me-i-voted-for-harris-t-shirt
I think racism and misogyny had a lot to do with it. And no matter how much they screamed about cheaper eggs and gas, it was really all about their insane need to "own the libs" (whatever that means) and their preoccupation with "wokeness" (anything they don't like, i.e. anything not Christianist, white and male), DEI, and their hysteria against immigrants, legal or not (you see all these articles on immigration and they're on line, posting "GET THEM OUT!" (their caps not mine). Cheaper eggs and gas had little or nothing to do with it.
I am so beyond frustrated that actual Americans have zero values of America. It is beyond despicable. They must be tried for treason!

Senator Warren is an admirable, intelligent and honest person. She works for the betterment of the citizens. She is not compromised.
BTW, not all of them use insider knowledge for investing, elected officials stock investments are tracked and available to the public if you care to look.

Time to remove the menace and charge him with treason. Let’s deport Musk as well.
Musk absolutely can and should be denaturalised and deported. DEI--Deport Elon Immediately!
Trump is bankrupting the country. He's acting like a hedge fund that's killing a company.
While he costs citizens a fortune playing golf , every day
Sick of him and his golfing at our expense. At least Obama used government courses or Camp David.
Ben, will this revelation finally get trump and the rest of his followers kicked out of our government and label them fascists? Please God, help.
It take a village to investigate this stock market manipulation but please do it.
It takes just a tiny shred of courage actually.. bullies always crumble when truly confronted
Sadly nobody has any guts anymore..
Yes, the line must be held & we have to back leadership DOING it!
So proud and thankful to be a citizen of Massachusetts and to have Elizabeth Warren as my Senator
Thank you Sen Warren,, Unfortunately this is how a Oligarchy works. We are seeing it in action! And only the American people can stop it. We need more representatives like you to help us fight. God bless you 🙏
Anyone that studied even the most basic of economics in high school could see through his scam. Organizations creating programs have gotten prosecuted for these same stock moves. He called all the oligarchs to action and they know exactly what to do to help boost their riches. And once again, he will not pay any price for ripping off average Americans who struggle and can't really join the sell and buy routine to maybe make more money or defend themselves from huge losses. Besides we have investments that will charge heavy fees that we can ill afford/justify. He is a con artist to the extreme and needs to be STOPPED.
My parents built up a portfolio meant to see me through my last years (I have FASD and Asperger's) and I'm terrified.. If I end up out on the street, I'll die.
It isn't much reassurance, but many of us would. You are not alone. I keep wondering what the hell they think they're going to do with all the bodies. I honestly think those in power don't care, but it will get pretty uncomfortable for the majority.
Sadly, you are right.
So STOP IT!! Why do they get to continue dismantling our country with impunity?!
I never have thought of Americans as cowards, but they are. The ones who have the power will NOT deal with Trump. Fear of insults? Loss of money? Loss of office? The voters seem not to know what US citizenship means.
Yeah, we're going to find out if courage has been bred out of us, I think. I think there are young people that get it, but man, corruption has been going unchecked a lot.
Another possibility is that he has kompromat on at least some of them.
The shadow hearings are the right way to go. You need to point out every lie with the credible brave whistleblowers and make these scammers put their reputation on the line so they grow a spine by a building view of the fear these republican senators. There is strength in numbers and is not acting worth the demise of the country you apparently work for ???? Career in the toilet for any politician that goes along with lies.

why does everything take so long? why will it be several weeks to stop him from using tariffs? why not just do it tomorrow?
Congress is on recess I believe starting April 15. They will be back in their districts so a great time to confront them and demand action on this and other pushback!
So nice to hear an intelligent voice of reason.
First I get upset, then I get furious … she is such a gift, and this is exactly the kind of media, newscasts, interviews, discussions that illuminate and uplift.
She is so clear and so vibrant and what a great co-host she would be on these podcasts. But mainly I just want to thank you for this great interview and commentary. I learned SO much, and that’s what we all need, to get educated about economics etc. We let the grifters take control decades ago and here we are.
I hope the resolution passes, though I have zero trust that King Con would obey it. But I DO feel that people, even some of his supporters, will tire of the chaos. Especially business owners and farmers … and if these constituents can influence elected officials, then some, hopefully enough, Republicans will join with Democrats and stop the rampage off the cliff.
Because we are, already, definitely, alarmingly, already a fascist regime. We would be a shithole country except for the likes of the Meidas Mighty and all the people protesting and all of us who are truly fighting to save a democracy worth saving. And a better world. No one has even mentioned the nuclear codes …
What’s anyone going to do about it? Nothing as usual!
Sadly the status quo, is no status quo. Do nothing, talk a big game

As a UK citizen, I'm kind of confused by these publicised cabinet meetings. Did these always happen? I'm 56 but I don't ever recall seeing these publicised - at least so often in the UK.
Were these always so Soviet Politburo/Charles Lovely Corp (Paradise PD)/Dr Evil (Austin Powers) styled, "We love you, Mr President! Thank you for telling me how to breathe!"/ "Before you came along, I didn't exist" kind of affairs? I ask as I wonder why no one seems to comment on the downright weirdness of these in the US media (aside from yourselves). Maybe it's just a US thing?
I’m confused too as I don’t recall these meetings ever being televised, but I probable wasn’t paying attention before. They are ridiculous and I love your analogies. I think the Austin Powers reference really rings true. I can just hear DonOld saying, “Wow guys, I just made 100 million dollars today”, and the cabinet members will all clap and giggle. Then they’ll go around the room and express what a smart boy he is and how happy they are to be in his presence. It’s creepy, disgusting, and downright un American.
I want to see one cabinet member not tell him how smart he is and how lucky they are to breathe the same air, just to see what happens. Do they instantly get consumed in a burning pit of hell? Or does MTG set upon them?
It has never been like this, the COMPLETE lack of dignity & lack of even pretending to hold to principles & ethics. There may be some "theater" in politics, but it has never so blatantly staged as cheap reality show/WWE entertainment. It's not a thing for most of us who want fiction, drama, & farce OUT of our government. There is comment on it by good journalists that have left mainstream media. The fact that journalism isn't holding to standards of integrity & that media has been so influential is a huge problem. There's so much to comment on...but this is why many of us are right here, supporting independent media. Mainstream media has been largely taken over & any not complying are being targeted. It's disgusting!
"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)......

The con is on. Don’t be a sucker!
What good does a declaration by Congress saying there’s no emergency, so trump “can’t do these tariffs” when trump ignores all laws and legal judgements, plus he’s immune from any prosecution? 😡
Anyone can look at Trump's rap sheet. His history. I guess the Supreme Court doesn't have enough common sense when it comes to criminal behavior to do that? How do these justices rationalize this crap? Do they believe their oath of office is anything more than a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Absolute clown show at this level of government. No wonder the world is freaking out at this political circus! Disgusting bunch of high-end political operatives!

I'm also calling our Attorney General requesting an independent investigation of Trump’s stock manipulation.
She is one of a handful of politicians who I am sure is primarily motivated by trying to help the American people and her country. I cannot say that about even the majority of Democrats. Republicans it is the opposite. I'm not even sure there is a handful where helping the American people or their country is ANY motivation for them! It is not on their agenda AT ALL.

Why is it that nobody is putting out arrest warrants for the Orange Turd's closet allies (Example Marjorie Trailer Trash Greene) for insider trading, or kidnapping citizens without due process, hacking into the Treasury Department, dismantling U.S.A.I.D., Signalgate.... these are actual crimes that are being committed in broad daylight and nobody is doing anything to stop this crime spree!!! Get a Federal Grand Jury started and send in the U.S. Marshall's to arrest and detain these criminals now!!!
What trump said to his friends: "buy, buy, buy" ...
What we will say to trump: "bye, bye, bye" .....
Great ideas trump! Chinese will continue to fabricate computers and smartphones, while Americans will get back to producing nails and hammers, stakes for spades and rakes, t-shirts and other similar assorted goods and of course, each household will be breeding chickens.
And kill CHIPS act, since US doesn’t need semiconductor and computer industry - Chinese and Taiwanese will do it, while US will engage in fast track production of spades and garden tools. This will make America Great Again! Brilliant!
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that this could happen with that brilliant man in the White House. Oh, I forgot, he did it for himself and his billionaires buddies. Now, it all makes sense. And the Financial Rape of America continues.......... "Everything Trump Touches Dies"
So happy to have Senator Warren reaching out by filing complaints against this obvious stockmarket manipulation. Thank you Senator Eliza Warren. 👍
I'm also glad to see M. Taylor Green is being investigated for her insider trading buying @ one week before this dump!...
What's laughable is only one stock she bought was a positive thing for her... the rest of her buys failed miserably! 😂😂🤣😅.. Serves her right, and perhaps she'll finally be kicked out of the House!
Another CHUMP MAGA follower bites the dust!!

Yes! It idiots laughing in the background aggravates me! The American public wants to see proof not just Musks word.
Someone said to me yesterday, that it is cheaper to bury our veterans, than to provide health care and mental health services. These rapacious, greedy, grasping individuals are taking democracy apart in this country and selling it off for parts. To Elon.
This grateful American for Substack and Independent Truth telling Media with MTN leading the way and holding interviews with the Public Servants who are informing the Public on the Corruption that is lead by #47! Will you please ask how Mass Marching, Historic Length Speeches, Rally's and Elections held around the Country gets the Convicted Felon, Insurectionist, Sexual Assailant, White House Document Thief, Election Interferer Removed from office and put into the Prison Cell he belongs in. The Grifter in Chief has well documented he has broken the law and The Constitution near daily since 1/20/25, however Congress and Judges also have The Constitution to Remove and Jail him and all we hear is We The People need to Fight...When did it become our responsibility to Slam the gavel, order the handcuffs and escort him to jail? When did we get the duty to stop the criminal corruption happening behind The Resolute Desk? Donald Trump proves everyday he's above the law and everyday Congress (while talking about it is not action against it) and Judges are Complicit with him everyday Trump is not in jail. There is no Justice for all and it's NOT because We The People haven't done enough, or had enough...it's because those with the authority to do something choose not to and expect the People they took an Oath to Serve and Protect are called to Do more!
Thank you for the synopsis. And every time you provide one.
Savings is NOT FRAUD AND ABUSE!!!! Why does Trump and his administration equate the haphazardly elimination of jobs as fraud and abuse - DOGE is fraud and abuse!
Uh, manipulating the stock market to make even more money?!? You could knock me over with a feather. Corruption?!? In THIS administration?!? No…. Say it isn’t so…
Thank you Midas and Senator Warren for all your hard work holding the corruption accountable.
Unborn people don't have SS numbers.
Just add his manipulation of the markets as another thing to his long, long, very long list of crimes that
the fat orange skinned, rat fu*k, bloated gasbag, parasite, Freakazoid won't be held accountable for.
ANOTHER FELONY. FINE BIGGLY AND IMPEACH!
Where’s the evidence he and Elon manipulated the election which SHOULD make everything he’s done since he got back in the White House, null and void.
Love you Liz. Never stop!!!!
Was anyone expecting anything different from Trump and his cronies! Donald is par for the course and he cheated!!

Thank you, Senator Warren!!
The laughter is what grinds me most about these mfs, too. My god, our public schools are already barely holding on.
I was not a fan of Elizabeth Warren, but she is smart, has integrity, and is highly competent. I'd take her as president any day over the bloated orange. However, the approach to have state AG starting investigations feels like playing with the rules of ping-pong against someone playing Rugby. The gloves should come off! Strategies to make MAGA republicans lose their primaries should follow. Boycotts of any business supporting Trump or Trump allies should follow.
I love Elizabeth Warren, she doesn't put with anyone's shit.
Love Senator Elizabeth Warren!!!! That day was absolutely a pump and dump day where the Dicktator gave his KKKrowd the wink and nod to make a ton of money in the market.
While I note that the Track record of Republican Politicians retaining a spine when it comes to consequential choices is extremely poor, I fully support the process of bringing bills to the floor that require votes that will force those politicians to be on the record as backing Trump's destruction of the country. The challenge of course is getting the bills voted on. What Democrats need to remember is that if the Republicans publicly make a choice, it does not matter what they say in private, they need to be attacked publicly as completely complicit in the crimes being committed, and I am not just talking SEC violations.
Hate to break the news, but few people really care about stock crimes unless it directly hurts them. But we can put emotional faces on the various other crimes they have done, including deportations without due process, firing people and shutting off funding for aid in desperate countries, Firing staff in the VA... there are hundreds of cases no doubt, of people suffering, even dying due to these crimes, that decent people who made a bad choice in supporting Trump, could see this damage done to PEOPLE just like them, and say 'oops'.
Stop thinking like lawyers arguing the facts of a crime and start thinking like a lawyer persuading a jury that the crime is real and worthy of punishment.

C'mon Ben, you didn't ask Warren the hard question about the inevitable retribution any Republican will face for joining any Democrat led resolution. What's her workaround?
Investigations can certainly be done on federal crimes, just as reporters do. States should have the same rights reporters do, and maybe better resources, to investigate crimes the DoJ refuses to.
Unfortunately, prosecuting federal crimes belongs to the DoJ and other federal agencies, but we can always do like reporters do, and publicize the heck out of it and embarrass the DoJ into doing something. Kind of like how the 'Jan 6' committee embarrassed Garland into investigating Trump.

I will start to be impressed when the active disapproval of Trump reaches 60% and will start to see real changes when it reaches 70%.
Trump is used to having a slim majority disapprove of him. His entire strategy works in that zone. We have to reach the people who are not his core supporters. His core supporters are full of hate and have totally embraced the cult, but there are a LOT of people still supporting Trump simply because he is a Republican, the president, rich, says everything will be good, says only he can save them, etc... because Trump LIES and too many fools fall for his lies.
We need to reach THOSE people and stop catering to people like us who are so deeply aware of the politics and laws and reasons for the laws... and reach to the VOTERS who do not want a math lesson or to hear a lot of conflicting claims. So we have to SHOW them, not tell them. Make the FEEL the truth. Remember from the movie "V": "Artists use lies to tell the truth." We are needing to counter a LIAR of biblical proportions, we can not rely on the fools believing him to suddenly learn 'Critical Thinking' skills. We have to HELP them and persuade them to connect with our reality.

"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."

“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.

I have a Midas Touch paid subscription. I am not able to view many of the posts. Not sure why.
LOCK HIM UP !!!
I am furious that these crooks are plundering our lives, our country, for what?.. money?
For news I get the necessary and true information from MTN and Democracy Now, after all the "legacy" or "mainstream" media are a bit too comfy with totalitarianism and self censorship.
love bro
What a great Podcast! Love Senator Warren’s interview - all great info! Please have her again! Thanks MTN!👏👍
Gracious Good Day. Honorable and Respectful Senator Warren. I have been a listener to your trusted advice over the years. (I'm like the chief of the synagogue of satan and get a wabbly going, a side thought) Because of your extensive knowledge I can only wonder what alternative economic models you have studied? We have five (due to division) Common Wealths for a reason. It was the visionary William "Billy" Penn who insured that there are inalienable rights given to the Common Wealths. The original "union" was the states to the Commonwealths. Yes they want their states rights. Though in the card game the FOTUS is playing, it is the Common Wealths that hold the "tRump" card. To do business in a common wealth you have to be a co-operative enterprise where the employees are equal owners. You have to understand I am on the threshold of my three score and ten, so exact details are fuzzy. It was in ninth grade we took the field trip to D.C.. The document was under glass. It was pointed out to us that this is where the "Commonwealth Clause" was first put to paper officially. Now my grandpop, a half breed-n', would say: "That's where the two tongued serpent 'rit it down on paper". We were taught that they were inalienable and we should remember this as we lived in a Commonwealth. I'm thinking the slogan of: States Rights? Hell NO!!! As that's where their to go. CommonWealth Rights? Heaven YES!! Penn's PROMISED LAND. PEACE, Every Blessing be Yours, Distinguished Mx (in Christ their is neither male nor female) Senator (those at Meidas included) and Those You All Love. #PeaceeveryBlessingbeYoursandThoseYouLove
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.

Republican Congress needs to bring IMPEACHMENT charged against Donald J. TRump.,Trump has done enough to impeach him now.
Trump can't help or hurt any of the Congress or the US SENATE anymore. Be not afraid of the Trump . His days of terror of reins is about Over for Trump . and deport Elon Musk back to South Africa. as soon as Possible.
Such ridiculous liars, such laughing idiots. Evil regime - get them out!!
Just a way for Trump to get more Money. He is crooked as a dog legs
Insider trading - is illegal?? Really?? What about the other thousands of high crimes they all commit daily??
Great let's go to court again. Let's take another 45yrs to deal with this felon??
Get real. Just get them all out of the WH.
We have to get through this dark tunnel, but once we do our Country will be forced to reckon with why so many people didn’t vote, voted for a convicted felon, and viewed Trump as the answer to restoring America? What is the most powerful form of protest is economic pain to the Billionaires who have taken ownership of our Country!
It’s black & white.
Just disgusting that he and his oligarch homies can get away with this illegal BS. As I recall, Martha Stewart went to prison for this sort of thing.
Who will rid us of this usurper? I've never seen America be so cowardly, especially the law.
I love Elizabeth Warren so much! She should’ve been president!
OMG. They made Elon sit down. No more looming of everyone ever one else in the room.
The Felon President gotta way with it his first term and since the supposed Supreme Court Court granted him immunity he is in full force again…He gives obvious clues to his billionaire friends to be ready like he announced on Air Force One, “we’re gonna be real rich” before he announced the 90 day pause after the stock market went high and now has fallen again…Yet he hasn’t been accused of insider trading which that’s exactly what he did…Remember when he summoned his gang of thugs to get ready for Jan. 6… Time for impeachment…Period
That was very informative. I was really excited to learn about the bill that could stop this tariff nonsense. Thank you.
Always need
P R O O F !
Grump is an INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC TARIFFIST !

Thank you Sen. Warren, someone needed to speak up and call it what it is, Insider Trading. DJT, 45/47 is guilty.
So sad that none of these actors will challenge the Trump Reich....🤷♂️
So fun to see you both! Thank you❣️💙⚔️💙

Of course it was stock manipulation and Insider trading!!!🤬 Indict every damn one of them
So insider trading, denying due process and signalgatr. Can we get a dedicated team on each issue and finally make something stick ? Thank you senator Warren for keeping a vigil eye and fighting for all of us. The tariff bill is one step in the right direction thank you meidas touch for all the good information you are sending ti all of us!!
Tx AG, Ken Paxton, was probably in on the insider trader memo.
Senator Warren, speaks in clear and easy to understand words.
Democrats could learn from her !!
Musk is a frikin idiot!
Not if the AG's are republicans, they won't do anything. And I would love to eat my words on that. But I don't believe for 1 second that any republican in office will uphold the Constitution. Despite the oath they All took to uphold it.

What does anybody expect from all these BS'ers one from Apartheid regime and the others from the "screw you" societies
How do we as the people remove little orange man and muskstink? Congress needs to grow a backbone. Sen. Warren is great. Keep up this good fight.
Meidas the best of the best
A must watch
So, so proud that Elizabeth Warren is my senior senator! (My junior senator, Ed Markey, isn't half bad either. <g>)
Don't depend on Ken Paxton he is corrupt and doing his own felonies.
Thank you Senator Warren: In the event these pump and dumpers are convicted of insider trading who will enforce the court orders. The DOJ is too busy right now hunting down political opponents and various staff members Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor.
What a bunch of bobbleheads his cabinet is.
It's definitive proof that you don't have to be intelligent to be a billionaire.
We are viewing the Trump Mafia do insider trading, dismantle our entire nation and destroy relationships globally.
I've always admired Warren.
Love her!
So disgusting, not to mention illegal!!
Yeah, yeah, but what are they going to do about it? My friends aren’t you like me and tired of the talk and the on going “do nothing” of our politicians while our country is burning!!!

Let’s fight fire with fire. Mark Cuban is a successful businessman who happens to be a billionaire. He’s much younger than Donnie. I think he should run for president in 2028! I listened to Alex Wagner interview farmers who are still enamored with adjudicated criminal because “he’s a businessman”. I almost threw up. They erased his past failed endeavors. Elizabeth Warren has always fought for the middle-class and the poor and women. She isn’t afraid of the bully, nor is Governor Mills. Warren’s protégé is Katie Porter, who is running for governor of CA. If Kamala runs and wins, Porter will step aside, but one would hope that Porter would be over our treasury department. We keep on fighting in the streets. Chag Sameach, Meiselas Bros!
How Stupid that was!!!
That’s great, but she’ll never find that mythical handful of republicans.
'"Clear indications that Donald Trump’s presidency is endangered', after climbdown."
"After only three months in office full of missteps, some political observers are admitting Donald Trump's second time in the Oval Office is going poorly with one Washington insider pointing out his tariff plan has turned into a "self-inflicted wound" that has damaged his prospects.
In an interview with the Guardian's David Smith, Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, marveled at how badly things have gone for the re-elected president while admitting it may be too early to call what is going on now a "failed presidency."
