Before I go any further, I want to thank all our paid subscribers. At MeidasTouch, we don’t chase access and we don’t cozy up to power. While others are dressing up and pretending everything is normal at ritzy parties in DC with the Trump administration this weekend, we’re focused on telling the truth—plain and simple. We’re not here to protect Trump or play along with his allies. We’re here to hold them accountable. If you’re already a Meidas+ Substack member, thank you.
