MAGA Wants to SHUT DOWN MeidasTouch After Win… Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network May 14 By Ben Meiselas Hey Meidas Mighty. It’s like clockwork with Trumpers and MAGA. After we hit a major milestone or big win, they attack us and call on their dear leader to try and shut us down. Following the announcement by the Webbys that the MeidasTouch Podcast won Podcast of the Year, we were hit with more attacks and calls by Trumpers to shut us down. We were also targeted by an account on this Substack that tried to steal our identity and harass our supporters here. Thank you to everyone who brought this to our attention so we could report and ban that offending account immediately. It also seems that during our live shows, the trolls and harassers have picked up in a coordinated effort since the Webby win. A special thanks to our moderators for banning all these accounts that try to interfere with the viewing experience. We appreciate your help so much. I’ve only been working off a few hours of sleep since I’ve been in New York, so I hope you don’t mind if I keep this post short. I want to thank you all for having our back throughout all of this. This is a fight we must win—and will win—together against Trump and his fascist regime.

A Massive Night for the Meidas Mighty…YOU DID IT!! MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas May 13 By Ben Meiselas Hey MeidasMighty. Last night was one of the biggest days in the history of the MeidasTouch Network. My brothers and I were in New York City to accept the Webby Award for the Best Podcast of the Year, which is the highest honor they give for any podcast in the world. Acclaimed writer Molly Jong-Fast presented the award, and she recognized the importance of independent journalism and the need for clarity in reporting in the face of relentless threats and attacks by Trump and his regime. We dedicated the award to you, the Meidas Mighty. This would not be possible without you and all our subscribers here. The fact that the MeidasTouch Podcast received this award as an independent network that has bootstrapped this entire operation thanks to the Meidas Mighty community is entirely unprecedented. This has been a tough year for sure, but a year we have all persevered against the odds to fight back against the Trump regime. Trump and his stooges thought they’d shut down the resistance and opposition by now, but instead the resistance and opposition have grown stronger and found their voice in the MeidasTouch Network. Sure, there have been constant threats, doxxing by Fox, attacks by Trump and MAGA, and efforts to shut us down. But folks, we’ve grown stronger, and this community is now the most powerful voice out there in all of the news. We kept a seat in your honor at our table at the Webbys and share this award with you. I hope you can see the direct impact you are having. Your subscriptions to this Substack make this possible and have allowed us to build the news network of the future. We are excited to keep on growing with you at our side. We are getting closer to hitting our May subscriber goal on this Substack. If you aren’t yet a subscriber, help us send a powerful message to all the corporate news out there by subscribing to this Substack and supporting the independent news reporting by the MeidasTouch Network. Thanks for subscribing or gifting subscriptions to others. Congrats, Meidas Mighty! Meidas+ is a reader-supported publication.
