Plus: Another DOGE operative allegedly has a history in the hacking world, and Donald Trump’s national security adviser apparently had way more Signal chats than previously known.
Sharing war plans in an unsecured group chat “is the latest in a string of self-inflicted wounds by the new administration that are squandering America’s strength and threatening our national security,” writes Hillary Clinton.

5 things Trump did this week:
1. Invited an MMA fighter fined for rape to the Oval Office
2. Waited on hold for Putin, then talked about hockey
3. Set up a fake classroom in the White House
4. Kept the Epstein files safe for another week
5. Left town to play more golf
We watched: The Story of Pearl Girl; The Double; Kill Me, Love Me; The Princess Royal; and so much more. What got me hooked was watching “My Mister” several years back. But truth is, been into Asian dramas since I was a child. Dad (rest his soul) was enjoyed dubbed Asian films.
I should/could be working out. I’d rather watch an ever so addicting Asian drama. Currently watching #Kdrama I’m watching right now: Love Next Door and my brothers and I are watching #Cdrama The First Frost together.
When folks don’t understand something, they try to destroy it. When freedom loving folks don’t understand something, they try to understand that something.
🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥
But Make America Great Again…
FOR SOME!
If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.
After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."
This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

You’re the US Marines band at the White House and Mavis Staples 👑 walks into the room so you start playing "I’ll Take You There" and this happens👇
Literally none of the headlines about the woman burned alive on the subway include the fact that at least one NYPD officer looked on and did nothing. So a reminder:
- Cops feel zero obligation to protect you
- Press can't be trusted to hold cops accountable, they're effectively the police PR wing
It was the honor of a lifetime to interview President Biden in the the White House. The growth of the MeidasTouch Network is only possible because of you. I truly hope we made you proud and showcased the potential for independent media to replace corporate media. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Germans need to take this very seriously.
Musk has 2 months to sway the German election for Putin and he's shown he can do it. If it's not taken seriously now it's over.
