I want to take a moment to thank Drew for taking an interest in my work and putting together such an excellent profile.

Most of what I do focuses on highlighting prominent figures and their statements, so being the subject of a profile is a new experience—and a meaningful one.

New: Here's a chart of the top conservative / liberal accounts on X. See that small blue dot? That's @acyn.bsky.social. His fast-cut clips of political combat get hundreds of millions more views than major news sources - and basically no one knows who he is. So I profiled him. wapo.st/3RpEvJ7

Mockler: Did he ask Garland to go after someone? Trump sent a dm to Pam Bondi. This is unprecedented.

Downey: Garland, who sent the parental rights memo

Mockler: Biden, asked him to do that when?

Mockler: Trump on his first day issued a historic and he has been subverting congress… He has absolutely been consolidating power by appointing loyalists

Jennings: All presidents appoint their supporters…

Mockler: Do they then ask their supporters to indict people…

Mockler: You said that Democrats are dying on this hill, but a lot of Republicans are climbing up the hill right now. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been outspoken about it. Mike Johnson got confronted on C-SPAN the other day by a Republican…

Mockler: Zero evidence whatsoever of any weaponization. I've asked you this multiple times and you have no evidence yet, Trump tried to send Pam Bondi a dm. This should be embarrassing that you are defending this

Mockler: I think we need to spend more time talking about phase two and the actual peace deal, rather than some Nobel peace prize, when that hasn't been achieved yet.

Hobbs: He ran on lowering costs.

He’s doing exactly the opposite.

Whether it’s these insurance premiums that are going up, or the tariffs…

It is exactly the opposite of what he ran on. And the Republicans in this primary against me are the biggest cheerleaders for these failed policies

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

@meidastouch.com is reaching people because they elevate voices that may be hidden in established media circles. On healthcare, they embraced frontline nursing & medical voices from the start. Congrats on your success this far! @meiselasb.bsky.social @bmeiselas.bsky.social @meidasjordy.bsky.social

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors
