Both Schiff and Kim won their elections, and were given gubernatorial approval to be sworn-in early due special circumstances, allowing them to gain seniority and participate in key Senate hearings. Kim is replacing disgraced Senator Bob Menendez in New Jersey, and Schiff is filling the seat once held by Dianne Feinstein, who passed away in September of 2023.

Schiff, known for his prosecutorial background, has been a favorite target from MAGA for his role in leading the impeachments of Donald Trump. His early swearing-in has the MAGA trolls making fools of themselves; crying foul while not understanding this process is completely legal. Andy Kim, a friend of MeidasTouch, delivered a heartfelt statement to his constituents pledging to serve with integrity, and a focus on healing the country; a poignant and powerful statement from a man who will be replacing the crook Bob Menendez. The U.S. Senate, as well as the American People benefit having Andy Kim step into that office early to gain seniority. Meiselas also played a touching video you’ll only see on MeidasTouch, with Kamala Harris meeting Kim’s family during his swearing-in ceremony, and telling his kids that she knows her dad is a good man and up to the challenge and hard work of being a U.S. Senator. Meiselas also highlights Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s efforts to secure Democratic control of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) by advancing the nominations of Lauren McFerrin and Joshua Didleberg; a move to shield the Board from figures like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and other Trump allies, who want to weaken the NLRB's power to protect American workers. People are turning off legacy media and are turning to MeidasTouch. Help us keep this momentum going so we can continue bringing independent pro-democracy reporting to the nation.
