Hey Meidas Mighty. It’s like clockwork with Trumpers and MAGA.

After we hit a major milestone or big win, they attack us and call on their dear leader to try and shut us down.

Following the announcement by the Webbys that the MeidasTouch Podcast won Podcast of the Year, we were hit with more attacks and calls by Trumpers to shut us down.

We were also targeted by an account on this Substack that tried to steal our identity and harass our supporters here. Thank you to everyone who brought this to our attention so we could report and ban that offending account immediately.

It also seems that during our live shows, the trolls and harassers have picked up in a coordinated effort since the Webby win. A special thanks to our moderators for banning all these accounts that try to interfere with the viewing experience. We appreciate your help so much.

I’ve only been working off a few hours of sleep since I’ve been in New York, so I hope you don’t mind if I keep this post short. I want to thank you all for having our back throughout all of this. This is a fight we must win—and will win—together against Trump and his fascist regime.

Your subscriptions to this Substack have allowed us to become the most viewed news channel on YouTube and the most downloaded podcast in America (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify). With the Webby Award, we expected to get more threats and attacks, and as Kurt Vonnegut said, “and so it goes.”

To anyone who hasn’t yet subscribed to this Substack, we need your help more than ever. Please subscribe today. Our Editor-in-Chief Ron Filipkowski writes the best and most comprehensive daily bulletins out there.

We post the top exclusive interviews here with Democratic leaders. And most importantly, subscribing helps the MeidasTouch Network grow and allows us to continue beating Fox and all right-wing podcasts combined.

So please subscribe now if you can and help MeidasTouch independent reporting grow.

Meidas+ is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
