Trump didn’t win the lawsuit; he won the leverage. Democrats flounder, media giants fold, and democracy becomes negotiable in the fine print of corporate deals.
Michael, I really enjoy you explaining “how things are”. What I would really like to see, from you-someone who was in the trenches up close with trump, is how the hell the Dems SHOULD DEAL WITH TRUMP. A laid out plan on how to stop this rotten egg! You tell us what we know, please, TELL US HOW TO FIX THIS! Get with the Dem leaders and teach them! Please! REAL TIME SPECIFICS.
Right now, WE have important work! Reach out to as many members of the House right now to tell them how you feel and encourage them to vote NO for all the reasons we all know at this point! Sign up for Indivisible, Mobilize, Move ON, or all of them. There are online events, and links to make all of this easier for everyone! It's now, or NEVER. TICK TOCK.
We can cry and bitch all we want, but what is needed, IS ACTION. JOIN ME TODAY! Let’s reach the constituents of districts with reps who voted YES. Inform them of what’s at stake, and encourage them to reach out to their reps and ask them to say NO. HUMANITY. MATTERS.
Hi G.J., While I agree with your point, the problem is the party has lost its way for some time now, and sadly, won't take in Cohen in any way, shape, or form. It's very frustrating.
Why won’t they listen to someone who has been in the swamp with trump? I agree that they are all stumbling around with their eyes closed, but seems like Cohen could lead them out of the dark!
As soon as trump came on the scene, mainstream media pulled out of the game and have been tripping over each other to be his game show hosts. It's all about the money game for them, nothing more. Our legacy media has become a reality game show, fake and full of shit.
Has anyone bought the land adjoining tfg’s library site? If not I suggest we the people join together to purchase it, after construction is underway of course.
Your reply, while the frustration is understandable, is wrong. It is "dead end" thinking, and it is a result of exhaustion and the tidal wave of MAGAtrump LIES. The worst Dems (as a party) can be accused of is naivete and stubborn adherence to "norms" developed during their too-long tenures. The DEMOCRATIC PARTY is the only choice if you are interested in saving Democracy. But, once you CHOOSE, YOUR WORK HAS JUST BEGUN. Carve out some time to join your LOCAL CHAPTER, and be active. Attend meetings, organize PROTESTS AND JOIN. Run for local office or GET SOMEONE TO, AND CAMPAIGN FOR THEM. Find and elect people who have BOLD ideas, and attend the meetings where VOTES HAPPEN. SPEAK in Town Halls, and PROTEST on street corners when GOOD change is NOT HAPPENING. Yes, you (and I, and everyone) should have been doing this already since you turned 18 years old, but every day from today forward is the best day to start, and continues to be the best day TO DO MORE. Stop complaining, and DO SOMETHING. (And I challenge Michael Cohen to do the same thing....if he REALLY wants to stop Trump, he should PERSONALLY run for office--Senator? Congress? School Board? Doesn't matter what...). You CANNOT use the excuse "I don't have time", and keep complaining here or anywhere. And if you don't choose DEMOCRAT, you have already chosen MAGATS.
Agreed, and I already asked, but after the fallout of his experience with Baron Von Shitsinpants, the Cohen family will not support any campaigning. The family has been through too much for now, and Mr. C. is focusing on other efforts for the cause because we need to encourage the 75 million people who didn't vote to come out to the polls next time.
You are correct & on-point. It’s getting to be pretty exhausting though. Sadly 😰 it’s like I don’t seem to see the end of the tunnel! I’m trying to stay optimistic… hopefully things will finally turn around. They say, baby steps! I hope that for now, this “big, beautiful bill” does not pass! This is going to be a wrecking ball, literally!!!
The end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. Blam. In the past 5 or 6 days I have sensed a creeping pessimism in the comments. I hope I'm wrong. The exuberance immediately following the pathetic birthday parade and protest marches seem to be trickling away. Is it me?
My husband and I made the decision to cancel all of our streaming services due to their poor and irresponsible content or lack of. Our news source: Right here on Substack. And Michael's being my first stop every morning. Once you've experienced the incredible content here, it's too hard to go back to mainstream media, which to Michael's point, so beholden to Trump and corporate interests. We all have so much work to do these next couple of days with reaching out to both potential supporters and subscribers here, to get them in the know, and to members of the House of Representatives to try and convince them to vote NO. If we don't, it's over.
What else is New ? Corporate Media is out for their Bottom Line $$$ not Truth or the Facts ! Thanks for reminding me, Michael, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍

Cordial hypocrisy does not build trust. We need people who can face accountability and demand accountability. The collapsing in fear is a poisonous virus that continues since congress and mainstream journalists do not lead with moral courage. The outcome of collapsing into frozen fear is a contamination of truth and increasing apathy.
If we Democrats had leadership all they had to do today is ask all of us not to watch CBS or ABC anymore. The sponsors would leave and CBS wouldn't have to worry about a merger because who would want to merge with a station that doesn't have an audience? The number game worked with destroying Tesla and this would be even simpler, no effort. Just stop watching them!
Here's a link to make calls to constituents who live in districts with reps that voted YES yesterday. Constituents need to know what's coming if they allow this! We need to encourage them all to reach out to their reps and say NO. The links give you all the help you need to do this. PLEASE consider this link, or go to Indivisible's home page, or the home pages of MOVEON or Mobilize. WE ARE THE WARRIORS WE NEED. Let US be the community that makes a difference!!
I have noticed that news outlets that I generally consider truthful, like PBS, have also taken to softening what they present and opinions. They don't want to cross the orange one, and so, instead of telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, they tell the sugarcoated truth. I've also seen commenters giving opinions that wouldn't upset the orange one but anyone with intelligence knows they are soft selling. This is why subscribing to MeidasTouch and Mr Cohen is so important. We don't need to stinkin' sugar coating. We want the truth.
The only way to save America now is for the Blue States who make all the big weapons like tanks, fighter aircraft and drones. Is to take over those factories along and start making tons of white phosphorus, land mines and cluster mutations. Than declare themselves the "Real America" siding with NATO or defect to Canada.
Michael, I agree 100% on what you’re saying, but the main problem is you have a Congress who has no Balls to hold the MORON accountable for the Constitution Rules he has Broken and a Supreme Court that’s useless so with both of theses factors working against use, and let’s not forget the Senate Passing that Bill, let’s hope when it gets back to Congress they will work together in the Political fields that ( US ) their Bosses Elected them to work for The Americans do the right thing before it hits the Desk of the MORON.
Keep up the good work, we’re not finished yet 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Isn't that one of the first steps of authoritarianism? Silence the media? In his case he profits off them as well. I saw that Jul 4-7 is a strike again against companies like Walmart, Target, Amazon, corporate media, etc, another shop small if you have to weekend. But we definitely need a general strike too! See above www.generalstrikeus.com! Let's get this organized and share with friends!

See former Sen. Lynne Cheney's detailed plan laid exactly for that purpose.
Google it.
I believe that was found to have NOT been written by Cheney.
Getting the dem leaders to listen is key.
Yes do you think the Democrats will ever get their act together?
As soon as trump came on the scene, mainstream media pulled out of the game and have been tripping over each other to be his game show hosts. It's all about the money game for them, nothing more. Our legacy media has become a reality game show, fake and full of shit.
Agree!💯💯💯💯💯🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Has anyone bought the land adjoining tfg’s library site? If not I suggest we the people join together to purchase it, after construction is underway of course.
Cohen needs to realize that the wealthy donors control both political parties.
One party plays the aggressive role and the other the passive role.
It is a game played upon the American People for the benefit of the Financial Elites.
Then shouldn't we organize the NATIONWIDE STRIKE ?

Yes!! And thank you. Doing nothing is not an option no matter the outcome.
Good cop-bad cop…same police force
