    Watch now   Rep. Dan Goldman on Fighting Back as Trump's Plans Backfire We break down the economic fear, corruption, and cruelty of Trump’s agenda—and why we must keep fighting back. Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Mar 16   Hey everyone, Ben Meiselas here. I just sat down with Congressman Dan Goldman for a candid and urgent conversation that every American needs to hear right now. The truth is, while Donald Trump keeps pretending he’s some economic genius, the data tells a very different story: consumer sentiment is plummeting, inflation expectations are the worst in decades, and the job market outlook is starting to resemble the 2008 recession. And what’s Trump’s plan? Chaos. Cruelty. Corruption. Congressman Goldman laid it out clearly—Trump is running the country based on gut instincts, PR stunts, and billionaire wishlists, not any coherent strategy.

Massie — an idiosyncratic, libertarian-minded conservative from Northern Kentucky’s 4th District — has long been a thorn in the Trump administration side, having refused to fall in line behind Trump on several key votes during Trump’s first term. Just last month, Massie was also the only Republican to vote against the  “big, beautiful” budget bill  that the White House was pushing ...

  This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 87 Ron Filipkowski Mar 9 …  JD Vance   made another cranky post whining about citizens bothering him again: “Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of ‘Slava Ukraini’ protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared. I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit person.” …  Ann Henry , who was one of the people talking to Vance, then shared her video of the incident to local WCPO, which showed the JD was full of shit. She said she and others with her spontaneously passed Vance as they were headed to the nearby protest: "No one was chasing him. I just wish he wouldn't have characterized it the way he did on Twitter. We all wanted it to be respectful and calm. We just ...
