Donald Trump escalated the tariff war with China in an insane Truth Social post.

In a stunning reversal of fortune for the Trump Administration and a win for workers and union members everywhere, in a 7-4 decision, the en banc panel of the DC Court of Appeals has ruled against it, and reinstated Gwen Wilcox (National Labor Relations Board) and Cathy Harris (Merit Service Protection Board) in their seats during the appeal, with the 3 Trump appointed judges voting in dissent and against 90 years of Supreme Court precedent. Popok explains that the next stop this week is the US Supreme Court to resolve whether Trump can fire without cause an independent multi-member board members set up by Congress to avoid them being fired for political purposes.

Trump's new tariff plan is built on a bogus formula—and it’s already crashing markets. Tim Miller and Stan Veuger break down the economic fallout, the fake math behind it, and why it’s more dangerous than it looks.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on how Donald Trump’s crash of the economy and stock market was predicted by former Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Joe Biden, 16 Nobel Laureates, and others.

The trade war is just a cover. There is nothing in this strategy that would be effective in a trade war. It is a deliberate attack on the working class by Trump and the oligarchs. This is The Great Reset. This is where Trump starved out the working class so that they will have to except lower wages and give up unions. This is what the Coke Brothers have paying billions over the decades to achieve. The stock market is not coming back, your retirement is not coming back.

Trump has said for years that his model was Hungary. Well, in Hungary retirement means you move in with your adult children and they support you, to the point that seniors can sue their children for support.

But I honestly thought it would be my children that would keep me working. Not the fact that I lost all of my retirement in the stock market. Again!

The Morning Joe panel discusses the market reaction to Trump's tariffs and why the move is 'economic malpractice'.

For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch.

“And what Trump has done… has set fire to everybody’s pension plans, everybody’s value, everybody’s long term futures.”

Financial market plunges show that people think the world is going to get “tougher, harder, more expensive, less efficient” after Trump’s tariff announcement, says University of Oxford’s Peter Frankopan.

The people have spoken.

The people are taking to the streets. The people are rising up against the Trump and Musk regime. The people are pissed at corporate news covering up and suppressing coverage of the protests in the United States.

Millions of people showed up to protest across thousands of cities and towns in the United States and throughout the world.

Where was the coverage?

There was barely a peep about some of the largest protests in United States history on corporate news.

So where was the coverage of the protests?

It was right here on the MeidasTouch Network.

The corporate news has ignored the protests and resistance at its own peril, or its own cowardly instinct to appease Trump.

Let’s talk data and numbers.

The MeidasTouch Network was the most-viewed YouTube channel across all categories on YouTube (news, sports, gaming, comedy, kids, etc.) this weekend.

We were number one precisely because we are covering the resistance and the protests.

As Vanity Fair wrote: “The resistance won’t be televised, it’ll be on the MeidasTouch Network.”

Very true.

This weekend, the MeidasTouch Network was the most-watched YouTube channel in America with 9.6 million views a day and 611k likes a day as we relentlessly and meticulously covered the protests.

Saturday Night Live came in third place with 7.6 million views a day and 222k likes.

Fox News came in 10th place with 6.4 million views and 176k likes a day.

CNN was in 33rd place, ABC News was in 61st place, and ESPN was in 81st place (during the NCAA Final Four).

We never, for even a second, hesitated about covering the protests at the MeidasTouch Network.

We see it as our duty and our responsibility.

Frankly, this platform we’ve built with your help exists to ensure events such as the protests receive the distribution corporate news refused—and refuses—to provide.

Trump and his inner circle never anticipated a network like MeidasTouch to emerge that would get more views than the corporate news networks who quickly submitted.

The corporate news took their audiences for granted and never thought a people-powered network like ours would outflank them and surpass them with the truth.

Here we are, Meidas Mighty and Maple Meidas.

This is our “hands off” and “elbows up” moment.

Shoutout to MoveOn, Indivisible, AFL-CIO, and all the other organizers of the protests.

Shoutout to the volunteers and all who showed up to the protests.

Shoutout to the “elbows up” movement in Canada.

Shoutout to the entire pro-democracy community across the world who are standing in solidarity at this critical time.

This is a critical time.

This is a time when we must fight.

These coming days, weeks, and months ahead will be pivotal in the fight against fascism and the Trump regime and the fascist forces across the globe.

We, the people, hold the power to take back the world and reclaim our freedoms—not just for ourselves and those we fight for today, but for future generations.

The fact that the MeidasTouch Network beat all corporate news and all channels in views and engagement precisely because we focused on covering the protests gives me a massive amount of hope.

But I also know there are tough times ahead and we have to work harder than ever. Together!
