Trump knows he is now losing the information war to Meidas. The White House is aware Meidas is beating Fox News in views and Rogan in podcast downloads. Trump launched a podcast initiative to boost MAGA podcasters and get us off the top of the charts this week. He failed. Trump created a section in the White House called “podcast row.” This initiative failed miserably. Our numbers grew, and the MAGA podcasts shriveled—just like their dear leader. Yesterday, JD Vance attacked MeidasTouch host and Army vet Fred Wellman for calling out Vance’s Greenland stunt. This follows multiple other attacks by Trump, Vance, Fox, and others at Meidas...

  Dispatches of alarm and hope, on politics and society, democracy and justice. Because silence is not an option. We may read and write alone, but we drive change together. Reveling in Terror Tactics The sociopathic Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem flaunts her rejection of justice by proudly promoting the illegal removal of refugees Steven Beschloss Mar 28   Who are the real terrorists? Kristi Noem made a video in El Salvador Wednesday. (Photo by Alex Brandon/AFP via Getty Images) The last time many of us  paid close attention to Kristi Noem, we learned that she shot her own dog because she didn’t like the way it was behaving. She likely included this charming anecdote in her book because she thought it would increase her bonafides with certain people who admire a killer instinct. Noem’s cruel, grotesque behavior—what  she described  as her readiness to do what’s needed of her no matter how “difficult, messy and ugly”—may have derailed her book tour, but it s...

  Support our nonprofit journalism   March 26, 2025 Fraud, waste, and abuse: Those are the things that inspectors general across the federal government are tasked with investigating. These watchdogs have been a key layer of oversight for decades, so it was alarming that one of the first moves President Donald Trump made in January was to  fire at least 17 of them . That’s why I wanted to  sit down with Larry Turner, one of those fired watchdogs . Larry was inspector general for the US Department of Labor and had been an IG at the Department of Defense and the Army before that. Larry says the mass firing of IGs like himself was about power and politics more than anything. He finds it impossible to believe that  DOGE , which Trump has tasked with finding fraud and waste, is uncovering these issues within days when, in actuality, it took his office up to a year to properly investigate similar claims. I talk with Larry about all this and more  on this week’s episode...
