I have 2 question why I continue 2 support Meidas Touch if I want continuous coverage of trump I could've kept watching MSNBC. Why aren't U promoting hourly the protests coming up???????? Like Jessica Denson has suggested U have a large platform use it 2 help fight 4 democracy.

mimi707.bsky.social•65 days ago

I agree. Use your platform to help the growing movement happening and less about the First Felon. For example do a deep dive into the town halls Dem State AGs are currently doing.

betterdays331.bsky.social•65 days ago

💯 We've been pummeled 24x7 4 almost a decade 2 the point I personally can't look @ him or hear his voice. We know he's evil & everything he/they do is cruel. I want the people that he's harmed 2 start having a voice & his 2 B silenced. Force the GOP 2 C the consequences of what they've done.

mimi707.bsky.social•65 days ago

Agree. Let’s amplify and support those fighting to save our democracy rather than those who keep amplifying the First Felin.

stanleybigfeet.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yes, nice, lets hope they answer the question.

As Trump was shaking hands with the SCOTUS the other night, he thanked them for the immunity ruling they gave him. Trump v United States (US), 603 U.S. ___ (2024). It brings to the forefront one of the most pressing issues of the current moment. Constitutional Interpretation.

arthurbundy.bsky.social•65 days ago

This is the mission statement of the Federalist Society. “Founded in 1982, the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to reforming the current legal order. We are committed to the principles that the state exists

arthurbundy.bsky.social•65 days ago

to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.” Six of the nine members of the SCOTUS are members of the Federalist Society.

arthurbundy.bsky.social•65 days ago

The key phrase from the Federalist Society’s mission statement is this: “that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.” The key part of this phrase “that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is”,

arthurbundy.bsky.social•65 days ago

comes from Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803). “It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is”. It is important to note that nowhere in the language of Marbury v Madison is the phrase “not what it should be”. This also comes from Marbury v. Madison.

arthurbundy.bsky.social•65 days ago

“That the people have an original right to establish for their future government such principles as, in their opinion, shall most conduce to their own happiness is the basis on which the whole American fabric has been erected. The exercise of this original right is a very great exertion;

THIS IS OUR SELMA! Elected Democrats are asking We the People display our outrage by asking us to protest & put ourselves in the path of danger. THEY MUST WALK THE WALK, NOT TALK THE TALK. This is the time! Elected Democrats and Independents must be brave. WALK THIS BRIDGE WITH US!!!!!!

I read Anand’s book and learned a lot especially that people need to be paid a living wage and that philanthropy is not the answer.

craigm2062.bsky.social•65 days ago

Here’s another person who says he is an inspired reporter but I think an interview with him would be very different.

Now that people are getting a clue about my gov (Mr tough hangin with Charlie Kirk) he agrees with Elon about his lawsuit against the California Coastal Commission. We complain about the endless sonic booms and he's OK with even more. Still wondering why he was almost recalled?

You spent the election failing to hold the Dems to account. You helped give us Trump. Sorry, just telling it as it is. You promote the Dems who are donor owned. You helped the US walk into this nightmare.

nobsnews.com•65 days ago

It was absolutely fabulous! Everyone should hear it. Really spelled things out clearly about what is happening.

Where is the reporting on the Al Green Censure? The Meidas Mighty deserve transparency, truth and reporting on it.

This needed transparency far outweighs any allegiances to Moskowitz.

I bet if he didn't vote for it, you would have reported on it.

Not happy about this.

chadskennedy.bsky.social•65 days ago

Your network is giving me hope in the darkest of times, so thank you. Keep up the good fight!

Appearing on #MorningJoe ScaredBro Scarborough, the owner of 29 hours per/week of air time, commanding a salary of $200K per/week: Plays a clip of a Trump lie, riffs, assembles a gaggle of giggling puppet panelists who riff, concludes with riff and teases next segment.

ctobserve.bsky.social•65 days ago

ScaredBro delivered Trumpism.

ctobserve.bsky.social•65 days ago

Listening. Personally question Anand Giridharadas due to his relationship with #MorningJoe, a decades-long bull manure tosser. On all of cable TV news, there has never been a more destructive on-air personality due to MSNBC's left-leaning 'tag.'

ctobserve.bsky.social•65 days ago

Will not accept those that accept ScaredBro Scarborough.

You're not fearless. You act like a corporate outlet and censored one of your contributions. You're starting to act like Pelosi's minions.

Oh that's what Meidas gets its name from.

scatterblack.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yes @anandwrites.bsky.social has great insights. Highly recommended.

trashiepanda.bsky.social•65 days ago

Thanks so much, the only time I'll purposely watch MSNBC is when Anand is on. Now can we talk about Elon's Rasputin, Curtis Yarvin (?) since we are living out HIS PLAN? I would love to know what Anand (or anyone else) thinks of his plan for eugenics to kill us all, they don't try to hide it.

boulderdaisy.bsky.social•65 days ago

Guys, I know the goal here is to push out Rogan and other right wing perks, but recognize that there are SO many of us who will NEVER patronize Spotify or Apple services because of their support for what is happening to our country.

Publish this to your YouTube channel and we will watch it there.

deathmetalvinyl.bsky.social•65 days ago

We need Meidas to continue to report on the Trump administration without fear. We have to maintain a system for getting the truth out to the people that need to hear it. The first amendment is under attack. Don’t give up the fight Meidas Mighty!

You guys should have @cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social on your show. He is having huge protests in DC on 3/14-3/16 along with Jessica Denson. He is awesome, a great speaker and extremely motivating. You won't regret it. Help him promote the protest!!!!!!!
