Today in Politics, Bulletin 500. I started these one week after the 2024 election, and here we are at 500. What a long, strange trip it’s been. open.substack.com/pub/meidas…

Howard Lutnick: 1. The architect of Trump’s illegal tariff scheme overturned by SCOTUS. 2. Lied about Epstein Island. 3. Devised the scheme to sell visas. 4. Covered up & facilitated the Nvidia scandal. What does Lutnick have on Trump to still have his job?

We moved aircraft from a base in the UK, we are extending troop deployments in the Middle East past Christmas, we are offering rewards to people who can locate Iran’s enriched uranium, Hegseth wants $350B more, & Bessent is moved because he’s afraid. This is winning?

Trump and Hegseth don’t give a shit about the troops. They left them in exposed and vulnerable areas at the outset of the Iran war, keep them deployed for excessive amounts of time, and impose political and religious indoctrination.
🚨🚨 Military families ERUPTED in anger at a Navy town hall after learning their loved ones fighting Trump's Iran war won't be home for the holidays. Families described broken equipment, worsening conditions, and a mental health crisis. One spouse said her husband had contemplated suicide FOUR TIMES and was denied help. ms.now/news/navy-iran-war-us…

Only in the most corrupt admin in history under the most corrupt president in history can Epstein Island liar Howard Lutnick, the most corrupt commerce secretary in history, still have his job after it is revealed he covered up the Nvidia scandal for a year. Impeach Lutnick.

It’s happening again. Hegseth says it is Musk, Musk says it is Hegseth. Where the hell is Congress?

The only thing you ensured is if there were any Democrats squeamish about doing serious investigations using the excuse that they were “distractions” will now be 1,000% guaranteed to be overruled by the vast majority of Dems in Congress. You hardened resolve with your threats.
White House Counsel Will Scharf: "I thought it was very, very important that just at the outset, we set the tone. If there's going to be an investigative process here, it should be a dignified, lawful investigative process."

The only intimidation is coming from the branch of government that controls federal law enforcement and DOJ. Democrats don’t control the means of intimidation - all they can do right now is expose corruption, which this fascist is paid to cover up.
White House Counsel Will Scharf: "What we're asking for is nothing more than that everybody plays the rules and that everybody follows the law. That's the only thing we're asking for. That's the only thing my letter asked for."

There was zero congressional oversight for the last two years of these corrupt thugs while they rob us blind and they want to keep it that way by threatening people with criminal prosecution who try to expose them. We will shine a light on these cockroaches.
White House Counsel Will Scharf: "They can't investigate for the purpose of inflicting pain on governmental officials ... these are blatantly inappropriate uses of Congress's power ... we're ready to fight tooth and nail"

Independent media platforming candidates early to a large audience of activists pays off. We work very hard to elevate people who aren’t getting enough attention. What a fantastic candidate he was and an even better person.
Scott Colom to MeidasTouch in 2025: We’re going to show the country Mississippi matters this election cycle. Last governor’s race, we had a candidate lose against a Republican incumbent by 27,000 votes. We are a competitive state whenever we get the resources to get our message out. And let me tell you about my priorities, my first two priorities. We have to raise the minimum wage. You know, a place like Mississippi, we don’t have a state minimum wage. So the $7.25 that everybody knows nobody can live on, right? That’s the minimum wage in Mississippi. We have to boost that. And for everybody out there that says, “Well, I’m not making the minimum wage, so that doesn’t help me.” Yes, it does, because one of the things that raising the floor does is it boosts all wages. And so we have to do that. That’s going to be one of my big priorities. And the second one is we have to repeal these health care cuts. We have to repeal the health care cuts. We have to save Mississippi hospitals. So I’m going to repeal those health care cuts. I’m going to save Mississippi hospitals. And I want to make one final point for everybody out there who somehow thinks Mississippi is not going to be competitive. The Republican Party is already spending money against me. They know Mississippi is competitive. That’s why they’re trying to stop me from getting momentum. And so what I need is the resources to fight that, because we have to get on offense.

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.

Trump used his Veterans Day email to supporters to solicit money from them. I guess it’s their patriotic duty to honor the troops by sending Trump cash.
