Well… an endless war, a trade war with Canada, contaminated beef about to flood US markets from Argentina (refused by China so T saw a deal,) and now our Supreme Court voted against the right of all Americans to cast mail in ballots. Bright spot, I just got a banana bread matcha latte. 🥤

Our new puppy. No news for a while, just snuggles. There’s still good in the world 💕 we needed to remember that. Helps us get stronger as we resist the corruption of this regime.

There are folks struggling each day just to live here. Freely. A militia now has authority to gun down these neighbors. Shooting them dead, not even “offenders,” innocents. This cruelty, is it who we are now? Don’t accept it This is no longer the country that raised us. Vote accordingly.✊🇺🇸

🅾️Hey Ohio, Compare and Contrast: 1. MAGA Granny' Rejects Trump's Pardon Blasts Him On Jan. 6. Admits she was guilty. 2. Contrast with recent ICE killings, Could be you or your neighbors. Calling representatives helps. Voting for Dr. Acton and Sherrod Brown will make this illegal killing STOP! ✊🇺🇸

We’re expecting… Two days of watching puppy videos has relaxed me. I’m even humming as I puppy proof our place. Two days without hearing about gross incompetence, unqualified, morally bankrupt WH officials or how the American people have been made to suffer TODAY. It’s been wonderful. 💕🐶

California firefighters and anyone else who can help, please assist Canadian firefighters right now. Like they helped us last year. A better solution than finger pointing and much more efficient. So many of us with asthma are suffering. Green energy technologies would also help. 🍁💕🇺🇸🍁

Watched The American Revolution by Ken Burns. Highly recommend. It’s tough, not the patriotic dream we were told about as children. Explains a lot about where we are now.

A bit of love from a sidewalk artist in Boston. This July 4th let the dream of a democratic republic give you the courage to resist the current kleptocracy. Rather than name calling let’s make connections with patriots of all ages and backgrounds. We need everyone, just as we did in 1776. ✊🇺🇸

Our daughter at the opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center. I’m watching it live. Seeing the Bush family next to the Obamas had me tearing up. So grateful to President and Michelle Obama for creating a Center for all Americans. Worthy of our 250 year anniversary.🇺🇸🎈

I asked AI if humans should ask it for advice: “No, humans should be cautious about asking AI for advice** as it can reinforce harmful beliefs and decisions, leading to negative outcomes. It's better to seek support from real people who can provide empathy and understanding.” 🤣🤣🤣 So now you know.

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power. Meidas Touch coverage

Andrew Solender A second House Democrat, Jasmine Crockett, sends Vance and the cabinet a letter urging them to invoke the 25th Amendment: 50 Democrats signed. (Couldn’t copy) search his name. Someone is doing something.✊🇺🇸💕

CBS Sunday Morning didn’t have any coverage on No Kings today. They have had previously. Anyone know what happened? I’m really disappointed in them.

Mr Nobody vs Putin, featured on CBS Sunday Morning, just won best full length documentary at the Oscar’s. What courage. May we be inspired by “Mr Nobody” to stand up to oppression, injustice, corruption and state media in this country.

This regimes support of AI is responsible for electronic bills going up and lost entry level jobs. Green technology has created jobs. Stand up to the billionaires pushing AI, robbing our children of their futures. Tell your elected officials to regulate AI and support green technologies. ✊💕🇺🇸

Shout out to our organizers in Columbus, Ohio! We were featured, with the rest of our state, by Rachel Maddow on MSNBC last night. We The People have risen, even in ruby red states!✊🇺🇸🎉🎶

No Kings in Columbus, Ohio. Organizers estimated we had at least 15,000 patriots there. We’re a little blue dot in a red state. A joyful, peaceful boisterous rally for democracy.🇺🇸✊

Philadelphia DALarry Krasner is fiery in how his city will rise against unlawful military occupation. Powerful. Hopeful. Check it out! ✊🇺🇸 Trump BIGGEST FEAR Arrives as City Ready to ARREST ADMIN?!! 183K views · 3 hours agoThe MeidasTouch Podcast

Chicago is proudly standing against tyranny today. Clearly calling out Trump’s political stunt. Deploying the National Guard, without any reason or request is illegal and against the constitution. We can stand against this corrupt administration. Chicago is showing us how.✊🇺🇸

Protests in Cbus, Ohio, day of unity. Miles and miles of folks who are sickened by Trumpism, the cruelty, lack of fiscal responsibility, disregard for the rule of law and our constitution. We The People are taking back OUR democracy!✊🇺🇸🎈

Art can open our eyes, even eyes that have been tightly closed. “Sermon on the Mount,” from the creators of South Park, is causing some in magaland to question the choices of this corrupt administration. I haven’t always been a fan, but I am now. If you haven’t seen this episode, check it out! ✊

My sign, drawn and painted for tomorrow. Spent more time figuring out the message than the lettering but I’m good. Putting it together tomorrow for our protest at the Ohio Statehouse.

What type of “persuasion” was used on Republicans to make them vote “Yes” on a bill that betrays their own constituents? We The People will hold them accountable in 2026! Patriots like Attorney Marc Elias will help us keep our elections free so we can remove the mad king and his enablers.✊💙❤️🇺🇸
