By Ben Meiselas

It’s Ben Meiselas here. I am the co-founder of the MeidasTouch Network. I’ll keep this short.

As always, let me start by thanking our subscribers to this Substack. MeidasTouch remains the fastest-growing Substack in the world and the most viewed digital network in the world. We are 200 subscribers away from our June goal to grow our independent network, so subscribe right now if you can to this Substack.

Next, I wanted to address something many of you have been bringing to our attention. We have indeed noticed the threats, attacks, and harassment toward us by Trump supporters increasing. We do our best to moderate the comment section on this Substack when people start harassing us. Thanks for flagging those for us.

We recently gave interviews on both MSNBC and Fox LA and received comments telling us to “drop dead” and other things that I don’t even want to repeat here. You’ve flagged them for us. We are addressing them. Yes, they are vile and disgusting. But we will not let them slow us down in any way.

We know the Trump supporters want to shut us down. They’ve made plans in their 4CHAN meeting spaces to attack our business and our advertisers. They’ve tried to hack us. They’ve engaged in death threats. They’ve tried it all. It’s just part of their playbook.

I’m reminded of the cowardice of Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, who said recently at a town hall that she fears retaliation from Trump and is scared to do her job. She just voted to proceed with the disaster budget bill, by the way, after saying how “concerned” she is that 23 percent of people in her state will be kicked off Medicaid.

My view of this all is simple. It’s okay to be scared, but don’t pretend to lead if you are scared, and don’t make decisions that impact the lives of others based on your personal fear. We run the MeidasTouch Network fearlessly. We are not afraid of legal or physical or personal threats. We’ve accepted that this is part of what it means to be the top independent news network in the world and the fact we focus on exposing Trump. There is nothing that Trump or his minions can do to make us slow down. It only inspires us to grow the network and pursue more strategic partnerships and acquisitions.

As this month comes to a close, we can reflect on major accomplishments together. We led all coverage of the No Kings Protest and the War in Iran. We were the exclusive digital network for Governor Newsom’s address to the nation and for the Democrat Budget Committee’s speech on the budget bill. We still beat Fox and Rogan. We lead all Substacks as the fastest-growing in the world. We average 33 million views on YouTube every 48 hours.

I want these numbers to increase. We have goals to double these metrics, just as I’d like to see the size of protests double as well. We can’t get complacent just because we are first in views and beat cable news.

We’ve built the network with zero investors. Our competition is backed by right-wing oligarchs pouring in billions to try and destroy us. They won’t, and let me tell you why. We are built by subscribers to this Substack. We are responsive to you. By subscribing, you get great content here, but you also support the independent reporting we do and our expansion as we partner with and acquire other channels and expand our coverage.

Help us hit our Substack subscriber goals for June and help us make a major statement to all the Trump supporters who threaten us that their attacks only make us grow faster and stronger.
