By Ben Meiselas For those new to our Substack, each Sunday I deliver this message while I have my first cup of coffee of the day. I ask that you drink your coffee with me, or have some tea, or water, or pick your drink of choice while we chat. Let’s get into it. I always like to start these Sunday messages by thanking our subscribers. You have made the MeidasTouch Network the most watched news network in America, beating Fox News. You have also officially made the MeidasTouch Substack the fastest growing channel on all of Substack. We got informed by Substack of this great honor yesterday. We would love for you to subscribe today if you aren’t yet subscribed (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify). Moving on… This has been a very busy weekend. Three major things happened this weekend already. First, Trump caved again on tariffs to China and is now giving exemptions for laptops, iPhones, and chips from his tariffs. Trump previously said there would be no exemptions. This is obviously a favor to Trump’s billionaire funders and also appears to be more market manipulation. Second, Trump is defying the Supreme Court’s 9-0 order requiring the return of Abrego Garcia from the El Salvador gulag back to America. Trump’s DOJ refused to tell the federal district court what steps they were taking to secure the return of Garcia as they were required to do. Thereafter, Trump made a social media post saying that the migrants in the El Salvador gulag were under the “sole custody” of El Salvador’s authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele. We are now in uncharted territory for our judicial system when the executive branch refuses to abide by a ruling. The right-wing Supreme Court enabled this hellscape with their past rulings giving Trump immunity and blocking his criminal cases from proceeding expeditiously. The MeidasTouch Network will have this story covered with every last detail. Third, the Fighting Oligarchy tour led by Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman AOC continues to grow. Their Saturday speech in Los Angeles drew a crowd of 36,000, and thereafter Bernie Sanders spoke to the massive crowd at Coachella. The Coachella crowd loudly booed Donald Trump. As usual, the MeidasTouch Network streamed the full Bernie Sanders / AOC event live.  By now, you know the MeidasTouch Network provides coverage of all the things the media suppresses. That’s why we’ve grown and are now the fastest growing Substack by subscribers. We cover all the protests. We cover all the shadow hearings. We cover all the Bernie rallies. We cover many of the town halls. Our coverage is relentless. I have done around 70 major interviews in the past 3 weeks—or nearly 4 interviews a day with top leaders. Moving on… Trump is not known for his patience. He’s lost all pretense that he’s anything other than an authoritarian madman. Things are speeding up. His authoritarian machinations have ratcheted up. At the same time, the opposition and resistance grow and accelerate. More than ever, we need you in the fight now. Against all odds, we are still here fighting together and we are stronger than ever. We didn’t bend or break as Trump and Musk wanted. We must work harder now than ever. We will be tested and challenged. Trump and Musk will try to destroy our spirits and joy. They are getting more desperate. Just as the cornered rat (no offense to cornered rats) is dangerous, so too is Trump and his Musk-rat. Let’s hold the line, Meidas Mighty, and push forward. We are armed with the power of people. We are armed now with the most viewed media network in the world, the MeidasTouch Network. We’ve got the numbers. We’ve got the message. We’ve got the distribution channels (finally!). We’ve got the momentum. We’ve got the truth. We’ve got each other. I’m finishing up my coffee. I am going to make a video for YouTube now. Please subscribe now to this Substack and help us grow and stay number 1 on digital, number 1 on podcasts, number 1 on Substack, and number 1 on YouTube. Your subscriptions have made this all possible. Let’s keep the momentum and keep meeting the moment. Thanks for letting me have my coffee with you and thanks for subscribing. |
