Important Message from MeidasTouch Founder

Hey everybody, it’s Ben Meiselas, founder of MeidasTouch. It’s great to be with you on this Saturday. I wanted to send you this important message as the week wraps up.

Before I go any further, please make sure you’re subscribed to this Substack and, if you can, become a paid subscriber. I don’t love asking, but your paid subscriptions have fueled our growth in a way that’s undeniable. You’ve seen what we accomplished this week. If you believe in this work, now is the time to step up and support it.

Now let’s talk about what just happened.

This was a week of accountability around the world. Leaders resigning. Executives fired. People criminally charged. Across business, politics, the arts, and academia, individuals tied to Epstein faced consequences. Everywhere except the White House.

That contrast says everything.

I told you going into this week to watch Attorney General Pam Bondi’s hearing. It was one of the most absurd, unhinged performances I have ever seen. It would have felt like parody if the subject matter were not so serious. It summed up the cruelty, incompetence, recklessness, and moral rot of the Trump regime. When your top law enforcement official treats accountability like a joke, that tells you exactly what they fear.

And while the regime tries to deflect, the American people are not blind. The jobs numbers for 2025 were revised down by about a million. Prices are not going down. Families feel it every single day. You can spin the press releases, but you cannot spin reality.

They are getting more desperate, and it shows.

Meanwhile, here at MeidasTouch, you helped power one of the biggest weeks in our history. Our Washington, D.C., bureau racked up half a billion views with interviews that drove the national conversation. Our coverage of the Epstein files has been first-rate, careful, survivor-centered, and relentless. We beat Joe Rogan again on the YouTube charts. He was number two. We were number one. We beat Fox. We beat CNN. We even beat the NFL on YouTube during the week of the Super Bowl.

That doesn’t happen by accident. That happens because this community shows up.

We spoke with many survivors this week. They trusted us with their stories. That trust means everything. We take it seriously. We will continue to fight for accountability and transparency, no matter how powerful the people involved may be.

We are winning this fight because we are united. We are winning because we are relentless. And we are not backing down.

If you’re not yet a paid subscriber, now is the moment. Help us expand our reporting. Help us grow our D.C. bureau. Help us keep pushing when others cave.

We’re just getting started.
