What’s happening right now should terrify every American. We’re sliding toward empty shelves, broken systems, and a government run by chaos. This week on @meidastouch.com, I break down how close we really are and what we can do to stop it.

I spoke to the hardest working man in podcasting: BEN MEISELAS of Meidas Touch, who's taking the fight to Maga (and beating Joe Rogan in the ratings), and doesn't mince his words about the state of US media, and its failure to meet the current moment.

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle

His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

Only one political party is actually expressing any empathy and concern on the way this shutdown is immediately impacting tens of millions of patients nationwide.

The tragic irony is most of these patients live in states that support the current party in power. That party remains silent.
