It’s Sunday. What a week it was. Let’s have some coffee together—or a cup of whatever you prefer to drink this morning—and let’s talk about it.
Also, before getting into it, thank you to all our subscribers here.
We are 1,300 subscribers away from hitting our May subscriber goal already, so please subscribe today if you can. We’ve become the number one most-watched digital news network in America and beat Fox News thanks to our subscribers here. With your help by becoming a subscriber, we can keep growing and keep our lead.
Let’s face it: we need to recognize that as Trump and MAGA and Fox get more desperate, they are coming for us. They want to shut us down. And they want to cause us harm. It’s the reality. We also recognize that our strength is the strength of this community. It’s the Meidas Mighty.
I’ve posted a lot about this situation this week, so I don’t want to be repetitive here, but as you know, it’s gone from threats against Meidas to calls to be arrested to threats of prosecution to dangerous doxxing of MeidasTouch Network host Aaron Parnas.
We were told that the attacks and efforts to shut down Meidas by Trump and MAGA would accelerate this week, and it certainly appears our sources were correct.
We expect it will get worse.
What Trump and Fox don’t realize is that when they sue us, or doxx us, or threaten us, it doesn’t make us run away. It has the opposite effect.
It had the opposite effect this week. The Meidas Mighty rallied more than ever.
It makes us more resilient, forces us to strengthen our infrastructure, and motivates us even more to grow.
The latest doxxing by Fox has led us to talk with Aaron Parnas even more about deepening our partnership and collaborations we will roll out.
This upcoming week will mark a major time in the history of the MeidasTouch Network.
My brothers and I are in New York right now for the Webby Awards on Monday because the MeidasTouch Podcast won the top Podcast of the Year (across all categories and genres). This is the highest award given at the Webbys for any podcast in America. It’s incredibly important we keep this momentum—so please remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and leave a 5-star review if you haven’t yet.
It does not surprise me that MAGA and Fox used this week to launch their latest attack, given the importance of this week for the network.
Just think about it.
Fox is funded by right-wing billionaire oligarchs, and they can’t beat our scrappy network that our subscribers helped build—and we got Podcast of the Year and not them.
They are pissed and squirming, and they are lashing out.
This is happening at the same time Trump is looking weaker than ever, and now he is panicking as the ticking time bombs he’s unleashed domestically and around the world—in the form of reckless and malicious plans and policies—are blowing up and backfiring in his face.
Folks, the pressure we are applying to Trump and MAGA is working.
You can see it every single day.
The relentless volume of our content—giving people the facts and connecting it authentically with the human condition—is crippling to MAGA.
The momentum is on our side, so of course MAGA is going to lash out in desperation.
We’ve got to keep growing and expanding this independent media network and all of the other channels we partner with and help grow.
Your subscriptions to this Substack are invaluable to that growth.
So please, if you can, subscribe today and help us hit that May subscriber goal. Thanks for subscribing.
In addition, we will continue to provide the critical interviews and content that is exclusive to MeidasTouch, which you love here on Substack.
Finally, to all the moms out there, I want to wish you all a very Happy Mother’s Day.
We are so grateful to all the Meidas Moms out there!!
Thanks for sharing this cup of coffee with me today.
Let’s go out there and keep fighting together!
A question for all Republican elected officials: Did you run for public office to support and advance a criminal oligarch, or to be a hero for the constituency that you represent?
If your answer is the former, congratulations, you’ve succeeded 🤬
If your answer is the latter, you are failing, MISERABLY!
For all of you Republican elected officials that, deep down, want to do what’s right, stop thinking about yourself and your Republican political future. Because, there isn’t one. Your best move is to leave the Republican Party. If not to switch to a Democrat, then switch to an independent and caucus with Democrats.
