Trump is Coming After Meidas…We Need Your Help MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas Apr 26 By Ben Meiselas We expected this moment to happen. As Trump gets more desperate and weaker, we knew his attacks on the media would accelerate. Of course, we are one of his top targets. Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi revoked a policy shielding news media from secret government requests for phone, email, and other records. This means the Trump regime will try to get into our phones, our emails, our text messages, and our sources and methods. On Friday, I interviewed a former DOGE staffer-turned-whistleblower in an interview that went viral, and she revealed secrets about Musk and Trump’s dysfunction. We expect Trump to target us first on things like that. After Trump’s policy to target news media leaked on Friday, we received thousands of messages from supporters like you telling us they thought he would target us first since our platform is now the biggest out there. Some people suggested we tone down our reporting on the protests, the whistleblowers, and the shadow hearings to avoid being targeted. We appreciate your concern, but nothing is going to deter us or slow us down. At all! We are going to work harder. We are going to expand our network and channels. Trump’s announcement doesn’t scare us in the slightest. Its purpose is to intimidate us. That’s all he has—fear. We refuse to be intimidated. We will cover even more protests. We will support more independent reporters and help them launch platforms. We will continue giving a voice to the international resistance. We will cover more town halls and shadow hearings. We will accelerate our investigations into Trump. We will ensure more whistleblowers have a voice to warn the public. We will not be stopped. We will not be silenced. Of course, we have taken precautions to guard against hacking and intrusions from the Trump regime. We have a legal strategy ready to go if we are arrested or targeted like the judge in Wisconsin. We have planned in advance for this as we’ve grown the MeidasTouch Network to be the largest independent news network in the world—with more views than Fox News, more downloads than Joe Rogan, and the fastest-growing Substack. (Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify now.) We are ready to meet this moment, as always, and defend our turf. That doesn’t mean this will be easy. We will need your help, of course. Now, more than ever, we would love for you to subscribe to this Substack. You get access to great content here on the MeidasTouch Substack and, equally important, you help us grow, expand, and fortify against attacks. So if you can, please subscribe now to this Substack. It will go a long way. As I write this on Saturday morning, I reflect upon what a terrible week Trump had and how his approval has plummeted to the lowest ever in modern presidential history. His recent attacks and threats on news media are a sign of desperation and weakness—not strength. Stay in the fight. We’ve got this! And thanks for subscribing if you can.
