MeidasTouch
MeidasTouch (pronounced "Midas touch") is an American progressive media company. The network describes itself as doing "pro-democracy" journalism.
Previously, the MeidasTouch name was used by its founders for a liberal American political action committee formed in March 2020 with the purpose of stopping the reelection of Donald Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election. The SuperPAC aligned with the Democratic Party in the 2020 United States presidential election, the 2020–21 United States Senate election in Georgia, and the 2020–21 United States Senate special election in Georgia.
The PAC changed its name to Democracy Defense Action in 2023. The MeidasTouch name continues to be used by the MeidasTouch Network, the news organization.
The committee was founded in March 2020 by three brothers from Long Island while in quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the brothers, Ben Meiselas, is an attorney who represented former NFL player Colin Kaepernick. Another brother, Brett Meiselas, is an Emmy-winning video editor who worked for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The third brother, Jordan Meiselas, is a marketing supervisor living in Brooklyn, New York.
The group name and slogan come from their mother and father, combining their surname and their mother's maiden name, Golden, alluding to the mythological Greek king Midas known for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold.
On July 21, 2023, MeidasTouch filed paperwork to rename itself to Democracy Defense Action, and later that year, news reporting indicated the MeidasTouch name was being used for a news network called MeidasTouch Network.
On April 22, 2020, the committee released their first video, titled "Are You Better Off?", an allusion to Ronald Reagan's famous line in the 1980 general election presidential debate, which criticized Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States; The committee shared the video in a Twitter reply to George Conway, which was then retweeted by him.
On June 6, 2020, another video was released, called "Bye Ivanka"; it took parts out of her commencement speech and focused on her relation with China and criticized Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her Wichita State University Tech speech was canceled due to student and teacher pressure.
