    Um. Do they know that the greek guy was named Midas not Meidas? And that the thing with transforming everything he touches into gold, as it turns out, is a curse (i.e when you try to eat your or someone else’s lunch)? (But who am I to lecture people about their questionable choice of name.)

    I stay out of the political discussion. I just wanted to mention the fact.

      The group name and slogan come from their mother and father, combining their father’s last name, Meiselas, and their mother’s maiden name, Golden,[14] while 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,[19] and later that year, news reporting indicated the MeidasTouch name was being used for a news network called MeidasTouch Network
