Does anyone know which 2 media companies moved behind a paywall? I haven't seen any new paywalls, but I probably don't read nearly as many sites as Ron does.
It will be almost impossible for the Democrats to deal with the massive cons that the trumpsters have committed. They better have a staff listing the wrong doings now as it will probably run to several volumes.
Check out The Moral Majority. A list of elected officials in this country charged with sexually abusing a child will be (hopefully) published soon. So many maga/republicans. smdh
I'm in the same boat, squeaking by on social security and food stamps, with help from a relative. I managed to scrape together enough to pay for a Meidas subscription when they offered a 40% discount, but that's it.
These bulletins are absolutely a must read. I’m a subscriber, and a fully support making them free for all until the elections. Thank you so much for all the time you devote to compiling these.
Great idea to make it all free until the midterms! Excellent that everyone can stay informed in the most crucial time before the election.
I personally can’t thank you enough for everything, Ron. Keeping up with all the insanity put out by the Trump regime every day is exhausting. Your bulletins are not exhausting, they’re informative and also hilarious in the sarcasm. Your Uncovered podcast is my favorite of the week. You and Anthony are such a good combo.
Totally agree as love Ron’s bulletins as they are an excellent recap 5 days a week. My Wednesday’s are planned for watching Uncovered live or later in the day. Ask the Editor is also an excellent show as I enjoy the questions and listening to your insight.
Ron: thank you for your generosity and work. I'm a DoGE victim so have had to cut way back as I've looked for another job in a terrible market. I'm freelancing now pretty steadily now so I'll be a paid subscriber once my finances stabilize. I admire your posts and look forward to them. I was a journalist for a long time (old school) so I'm well aware of how gifted you are! I'm in a position to judge! Thank you for your work ... I absolutely love your podcast with Anthony on Wednesdays. It's informative and often darkly hilarious.
Of course they "cut the best public servants". Rump et al do not want anyone around with knowledge and experience to recognize what shenanigans they are up to
That alone makes you the best. I've noticed (and research supports this) that the most intelligent people are more apt to underestimate their intelligence while those with less to crow about overrate theirs.
Have you read Michael Lewis' book "Who is Government"? If not, it's a great read about several outstanding civil servants, unsung heroes all.
I’ve not read it but listened to podcasts he appeared in to promote the book. Government isn’t perfect by far, but there are (were in my day) a lot of unsung heroes, no question. I would support smart and well-thought out cuts but DOGE was a hammer that smashed agencies without ANY thought or analysis.
I’m so sorry to hear about being a DoGE victim! It was beyond sickening how they just took their chainsaws and cut up some of the best employees, departments, and companies. Please know there have been people out here caring about all of you, this whole time!
that’s lovely and thank you - from all impacted. it just thrust a lot of people into terrible financial insecurity not to mention being made to feel like a criminal…
Awesome making the bulletin free until midterms. I subscribe - worth more than every penny - and am forwarding to all my friends. Thank you for the work you do. Also, Uncovered is my favorite show … plan my Wednesdays around it!
Ron, I need these bulletins. They are my lifeline to the truth. There’s no comparison to the milquetoast, both-sides pap The New York Times for example puts out every day. History will bear out that the work you and the brothers are doing is key to saving our democratic republic from fascism. Proud to be a paid supporter of Meidas. Thank you so much.
I am a paid subscriber, and I look forward to these bulletins every day. So many people, under this terrible administration, are suffering financially to the extent that they cannot afford to subscribe to much, if anything. Thanks for making as much information available as you can..especially this fraught period before (and probably during) the midterms.
Ron, I rely on your bulletins for news (and your insight) almost exclusively at this point because you are so thorough. I also appreciate your snark! Thank you and everyone at MTN.
HEY! I'll have you know that the Republican House of Representatives under Squeaker PedoMike has worked VERY HARD in the 71 days they've worked this year (October starts Thursday): almost as hard as they did working nearly HALF of last year (151 days)!
And just LOOK at all they've accomplished for the American people in that time! All those legislative accomplishments that will move American forward, improve our lives, make us more competitive! Just LOOK at this list of all those accomplishments in JUST 71 days in 9 months!
In 2026, the Republican House accomplished:
Awesome, huh? And each one of those 435 reps "only" makes $174,000 each, plus taxpayer funded staff (to help them with all the accomplishments listed above), so about $2M per year per hardworking Congressman (or a paltry $2,451 per day for each Congressman's 71 days of hard work, multiplied by 8 to 12 for their staff, so about $25K/day per rep. Your tax dollars at "work.")
To be honest, I don't mind. My wonderful congresswoman works hard and when Liddle Mikey recesses the House, she comes back to the district and is everywhere. I will probably see her a dozen times in the next month. (Obviously, she is a Democrat.) But Liddle Mikey is working hard to be the laziest, weakest and most ineffective speaker in U.S. history.
Haha, they'd get better audience response if they propped up a mop with eyeglasses at the podium. 🤣 Who actually *wants* to hear Mike Johnson say anything at all?
Mealy mouthed little rat faced weasel. I got corrected though, that the titles were insults to rats and weasels. I think pond scum was the last suggestion I saw
I agree. Both are ugly af inside and out. The ugliness inside enhances the ugliness outside. Although I don’t think it’s right to criticize someone’s appearance I make an exception for them.
Ron, thank you for the amazing job you do on a daily basis. You go through very meticulously and pull the truth and straight facts out on this regime for the entire country and world. You keep us well informed. In my opinion, you cannot be thanked enough.
Thank you so much! I have been rearranging bills and such to subscribe to more independent news channels. You are really helping to get the world news out and we need it now more than ever.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME): "One of my concerns, which unfortunately has been borne out, was that he would fire a lot of very capable military officials, and he has done that."
I'm concerned for the US if she is not voted out of office. We're counting on you Mainers. Please.
You're a treasure - all of you at Meidas Touch! Sanity in a Category 5 shitstorm. Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊 as a person on a limited income I can’t pay for all these Substack apps, Even though I would like to!!
I'm in the same boat, squeaking by on social security and food stamps, with help from a relative. I managed to scrape together enough to pay for a Meidas subscription when they offered a 40% discount, but that's it.
And, if we join one, then the others we read [when we can] are deserving, too!
I believe one of them is MSNOW. Not sure about the other one.
Well said, Debbi!
Thank you to all of you at MTN for the free bulletins. Thank you💜
These bulletins are absolutely a must read. I’m a subscriber, and a fully support making them free for all until the elections. Thank you so much for all the time you devote to compiling these.
I agree. I’m also a paid subscriber, but the information Ron shares is too important to be behind a paywall at this time.
Ron's my hero.
Great idea to make it all free until the midterms! Excellent that everyone can stay informed in the most crucial time before the election.

Thanks for all you do, Ron and Meidas team!!
I also like the Ask the Editor 5 questions on Monday nights.
I love both the Ask The Editor and Uncovered (on Wednesdays). Two of my favorites.
Same!!

Cheers! Glad to learn you're getting steady work and hope you wear your DOGE cut and recovery as a badge of honor. They cut the best public servants.
Of course they "cut the best public servants". Rump et al do not want anyone around with knowledge and experience to recognize what shenanigans they are up to
thank you for this message! very kind of you… not sure I am the best but many of us really just tried to do our best on the job.

Keep on swinging for the fences, Ron...the Bulletin is an afternoon must-read out our way!

Thanks for making as much information available as you can..especially this fraught period before (and probably during) the midterms.
I keep thinking about how much I would miss out on if not for Ron. Ron and Anthony. Ron and Pablo. So critical now to know the truth.
Ron, I rely on your bulletins for news (and your insight) almost exclusively at this point because you are so thorough. I also appreciate your snark! Thank you and everyone at MTN.
Man, the FBI under Ka$h Patel has become a weapons-grade shitshow.
When Mikey Grindr is your Hail Mary, you are not doing well. Please boo him and ask him why he's given Congress so many vacations.

Don't forget their Cadillac health care and other benefits.
Socialism
Oh my gosh, they would be mortified if they read your comment!! 🤣
We also pay the large majority of their health insurance costs. lol And they are on the premium or gold plan I'm sure.
To be honest, I don't mind. My wonderful congresswoman works hard and when Liddle Mikey recesses the House, she comes back to the district and is everywhere. I will probably see her a dozen times in the next month. (Obviously, she is a Democrat.) But Liddle Mikey is working hard to be the laziest, weakest and most ineffective speaker in U.S. history.
Haha, they'd get better audience response if they propped up a mop with eyeglasses at the podium. 🤣 Who actually *wants* to hear Mike Johnson say anything at all?
loljohnson is a slimy wormy djt-a kisser! Hope he's gone soon
🤣 All I've ever heard is a bunch of white-washing (take that however you want), and mumbling. Then he runs away
He disgusts me!
Mealy mouthed little rat faced weasel. I got corrected though, that the titles were insults to rats and weasels. I think pond scum was the last suggestion I saw
Very funny.....
All expenses paid by We The People
Slight adjustment, 'stolen' from American taxpayers!
Thanks, I stand corrected! Thievery, embezzlement, misappropriation, they have a whole bag of dishonest tricks.
Who’s uglier, Stephen Miller or Katie Miller?
Uglier soul or uglier face? 🤔
Take your pick.
I think they are two halves of the same ugly soul.
I agree. Both are ugly af inside and out. The ugliness inside enhances the ugliness outside. Although I don’t think it’s right to criticize someone’s appearance I make an exception for them.
toss-up
You wear the ugly soul on the face. Both.
Stephen is a shit,skin head and Katie is a lover of that Shit
They say there is someone for everyone - I think I would go it alone if either one of them was the "someone"
Hahahahaha- so descriptive-
🎯
That is a toss-up. I actually think they cloned each other, except Katie has hair.
I thought Katie was Stephen wearing a wig.
lol.
Hard to tell
Both of them have black souls. They deserve each other.

If she wins, I will blame every Platner hater who deep sixed his campaign.
And you don't think Platner would've been crushed by way more?. He is a fraud.
No. I don't.
