Your support has been incredible. As Trump attacks us. As Fox attacks. As Rogan and his supporters attack us. After all the death threats and harassment from MAGA. After the civil and criminal filings. Here we stand. Stronger than ever. Trump looks weaker than ever. We now approach 100 days of the most disastrous presidency in history this week. In 100 days, this community has accomplished so much as Trump is now imploding. A special thanks to our subscribers here (please subscribe today if you aren’t yet a subscriber).
The protests are growing. Mass mobilization is accelerating. Shadow hearings are taking place. Americans are showing up to town halls. Nonprofits and legal groups have filed thousands of lawsuits that have Trump’s DOJ on the ropes. Trump is losing in the courts and in public opinion. An international resistance has formed. We have a huge election in Canada today. I am so proud of you all. When we defeat Trump and this MAGA plague, I see so much hope in the future. And we will win.
Our role at the MeidasTouch Network is to meet the moment every day by reporting on the truth about what’s happening that the corporate news refuses to cover. That includes rapid response and going on the offense with fearless reporting. But also, we must ensure we are building a generational infrastructure to make sure the media doesn’t slip back into the decay and rot that spawned the grotesque, vile, felon beast that is Trump. A special shoutout to our subscribers here who helped us build this infrastructure. We are so grateful.
I’ve spoken to a number of high-level sources who tell me they expect Trump will come after us very soon in more aggressive ways. The Trump regime sees what we have built and what we are building at the MeidasTouch Network, and it terrifies them. The Trump memo attacking sources used by the media seems like a tool the DOJ might use to come after independent media like us. We will see.
This past weekend it was announced that Katie Phang will be working with us. I expect more announcements like this to drop soon.
We’ve built the MeidasTouch Network with the help of our subscribers on this Substack. The Trump regime and Fox thought it was impossible to build a network brick by brick the way we did. They didn’t know the power of Substack. We not only lead all independent news media, but we get more views than all cable news, including Fox, with a fraction of a fraction of their budget.
We are a network made up of some of the top lawyers in the country. We have a legal strategy planned for the moment Trump tries something. I have taken a lot of depositions in my past life as a litigator, such as when I deposed most of the NFL owners in my representation of Colin Kaepernick. I would love to take the deposition of Trump and play that cross-examination on our YouTube channel and this Substack for everyone to watch.
Trump and his regime do not scare us at all. They are jealous and terrified of what we’ve built—an independent media network that uplifts the entire independent media ecosystem, that exposes Trump as we showcase the growing resistance. Trump has spent the past 100 days falling apart, and we’ve spent the past 100 days growing. (Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotifynow.)
Get ready for democracy summer, folks.
As Vanity Fair magazine proclaimed, “The resistance won’t be televised, it will be on the MeidasTouch Network.”
The resistance has a platform that is not scared, that will never bow down and kiss the gangster ring, and that will approach the fight against the Trump regime with the dedication, diligence, and fearlessness that is required.
With the Meidas Mighty by our side, Trump will never shut us down.
Whatever he’s about to send our way—and unless we are ready for it—
We will fight, and we will win!
We will keep beating Fox and Rogan in the ratings. We will keep our coverage focused on the protests, the shadow hearings, the town halls, the press conferences, and the interviews you’ve come to expect from the MeidasTouch Network.
