IMPORTANT Message from Meidas Founder
By Ben Meiselas
Hey Meidas Mighty, it’s great to be here fighting alongside you as always.
This moment demands pressure on the Trump regime. Not just pressure, momentum to counter their threats. And that is exactly what this movement is building. Before I forget, remember to subscribe and become a paid subscriber today to help grow this network.
Yesterday, we covered Donald Trump’s disastrous press conference from the Oval Office, where he falsely claimed the Epstein files totally vindicated him. They did the opposite. He also insisted he knew nothing about the roughly five hundred million dollars his company received from the United Arab Emirates, a claim that only raises more red flags.
At the same time, Trump was posting photos of himself with Steve Bannon, even though Bannon appears in the Epstein files as frequently as Trump himself.
Let’s be clear. Donald Trump is referenced more than thirty-eight thousand times across roughly five thousand separate documents in the Epstein files, in some of the most disturbing and grotesque ways imaginable.
Around the world, leaders resign over far less. Yet the epicenter of this cabal sits in the Oval Office.
Our reporting yesterday uncovered something even more troubling.
We were contacted by multiple survivors who have been retraumatized by the Trump regime’s reckless failure to properly redact sensitive information in the Epstein files. Some bravely shared their stories with us. Others have now filed an emergency motion in federal court after their personal information was exposed and their safety put at risk.
This was not an accident. It was cruelty. Cruelty is the point with this regime.
And it is exactly why the MeidasTouch Network is not backing down.
We are expanding our reporting.
We are growing our Washington, D.C., bureau with new team members joining soon.
We are increasing our on-the-ground coverage across the country. And we are continuing to expand internationally.
A special thank you to Meidas Canada for the incredible work they are doing.
The forces of authoritarianism are global, and the truth must confront them on a global scale.
As always, we have a lot more to report this morning, and I am about to jump on camera to break it all down.
But I want to be direct with you.
This network is under attack because we are the largest independent pro-democracy news network in the country, if not the world.
We are beating corporate media.
We are breaking stories others will not touch. And that is why they want us silenced.
If you believe in this work, please share this Substack and the MeidasTouch Network with everyone you know.
And if you are not yet a paid subscriber, we need your support now more than ever. Paid subscriptions are what make this reporting possible and fund the expansion you’ve seen at the MeidasTouch Network.
Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for fighting for democracy.
Let’s keep fighting together.
Thanks for subscribing.




Enough is enough already. Everyone is thinking about November, but even winning in November won’t do anything. We need marches on Washington every day until the orange thug and his associates are impeached, removed, and convicted.
TY for your honest reporting. 💙
