Wife, mother and extremely excited, new grandmother. Lifelong northeast liberal, I've lost faith in mainstream media, and so I seek out mainly independent content providers such as Meidas Touch.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled: Voters as “Votors” Emergency as "Emeregency" United States as "United Staes" And, it included a non-party in the caption. These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Just the reminder… Do Not Obey in Advance means acting now. Not waiting for midterms. Find a protest, use your economic power, call your representatives, file complaints, support a strike, cancel subscriptions.
THE BIG BEAUTIFUL
DELAY
Why You're Not Feeling the Bill - Yet
H.R.1 (The "Big Beautiful Bill") was designed to delay the damage until after the 2026 midterms.
Here's what's coming... but not just yet:
CUTS COMING AFTER THE ELECTION:
X Medicaid work rules
Dec. 2026
X Food aid restrictions
Late 2026
X Clean energy credits end Mid to late 2026
X Student loan changes Gradually by 2026
X Affordable housing cuts Phased in post-2025
X Rural hospital funding declines Starts 2026
WHY IT'S DELAYED:
• Politicians want your vote before you feel the impact
• The harshest parts are hidden until after ballots are cast
• By then, it's harder to stop.
STAY ALERT. SPREAD THE WORD, KNOW WHAT'S COMING.
Watch what's delayed - not just what's announced.

This is not a joke. This is beyond horrifying. Foxs Brian Kilmeade’s casual invocation of euthanasia for the homeless is not just dehumanizing—it is genocidal thinking. You can't make it some slip. Let’s not pretend it was hyperbole. It's everywhere to replay. Listen for yourself. Maga are insane.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
