  MeidasTouch Is in the White House Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Jun 10     Hey everyone, it’s Ben Meiselas here from the MeidasTouch Network, and I have some exciting news to share. MeidasTouch is now in the White House. That’s right. We’ve officially expanded our reporting team and hired our   White House Correspondent, Luke Radel, who is now credentialed and reporting from inside the White House. Luke will be there asking the questions that need to be asked. He’ll be attending White House press briefings, covering Karoline Leavitt’s press conferences , and bringing the same relentless accountability journalism you’ve come to expect from MeidasTouch on Capitol Hill directly into the White House. This is a major milestone for our network and another step forward in our mission to hold those in power accountable and deliver independent reporting that puts the people first. When he’s not reporting from the White House, Luke will also be covering Capitol...

  Sisters and Brothers - THE BAD NEWS: Our campaign finance system is totally corrupt, and billionaires can spend as much money as they want to buy elections. Super PACs from AI, crypto, AIPAC and other special interests will be spending many hundreds of millions of dollars in the midterm elections to buy elections and protect their interests. THE GOOD NEWS: Poll after poll shows that the progressive agenda is incredibly popular with the American people. They are disgusted with the massive level of income and wealth inequality that exists and want the billionaires in this country to pay their fair share of taxes. They understand that healthcare is a human right for all and not a privilege, and want to lower the outrageous cost of prescription drugs. They understand that we should not be spending huge amounts of money to fund unconstitutional and illegal wars, and they want to end U.S. military support for Israel. They want AI to be regulated and benefit all Americans, not just the ...

  It’s Elizabeth Warren. It is impossible to overstate how absolutely critical the midterms are going to be for the preservation of our democracy. That’s why I’m asking you to support Jon Ossoff’s reelection campaign today. I’ll explain more in just a moment, but first, can you chip in $50 — or whatever you’re able — to help defend Jon’s seat? Donald Trump and his extremist allies in Congress are wreaking havoc on our nation’s most vital institutions and engaging in corruption on a level this nation has never seen before. Pillars of our democracy — like the rule of law, a free press, and the ability to voice dissent openly — are being blatantly targeted by this administration’s top officials, all while Trump caters to the billionaire class. Republicans in Congress have the power to put a stop to this. It would take only a handful to vote with the Democrats and say that Donald Trump has to follow the law. But it seems like the Republicans in Congress have all had their spines remov...

  SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION!  WHISKEY PETE IS A DISGRACE WHO IS UNDERMINING THE US MILITARY!  THE EXTREMIST PASTOR DOES NOT BELONG IN A PRESENTATION TO TROOPS!  FIRING BASED ON SEX OR THE COLOR OF AN OFFICERS SKINS UNDERMINES  THE NEED FOR EXPERIENCE AND TALENT! THERE ARE PUBLIC CALLS FOR WHISKEY PETE TO BE FIRED OR IMPEACHED! When Pete Hegseth isn’t daydreaming about illegal bomb runs or texting out classified military strike plans in a whiskey haze, he is showing the world just how unfit he is to wear the title of Secretary of Defense.  Not long ago, the man running the Pentagon decided to amplify a preacher who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote, blasting that garbage from the same office that commands thousands of women in uniform.    Hegseth is an open disgrace to the armed services and a black eye on the leadership of our military. I have fought beside women who have more courage and conviction in their pinky than Hegseth h...
