No Russian Cash. No Corporate Bosses. No Fear.
I'm fired up this morning.
Hey everyone,
On this Monday morning I am feeling awfully fired up. Why? Well, I look around at the media landscape and can’t believe what I see.
On one hand, you have conservative influencers like Benny Johnson who have been proven – by US investigators – to have taken “unknowingly” millions in Russian cash to spout their anti-democracy (and, in my First Amendment protected opinion, pro-Russia) views.
And then when I turn my head just slightly, I see corporate media bowing to the Trump Administration. The damage that Bari Weiss has done at CBS will take years to fix.
The situations may not be perfect mirrors of each other, but they sure do rhyme.
The simple truth is that it’s never been harder to know where to get your information. And I am so grateful that you have placed your faith and your time in me and this Substack.
I want to be abundantly clear: Trump and MAGA have and continue to do their worst to me for telling the truth about what the GOP has become. But I’m still here telling you exactly what I think every day.
No Russian cash under the table. No corporate bosses telling me to take it easy on the White House.
But most importantly…no fear.
Because they already tried to take everything from me and only ended up setting me free.
And you are the reason I can do this work. Plain and simple. And today I am asking you, if you can, to become a paid subscriber.
Paid subscribers keep me fighting, no matter what they throw at me.
Paid subscribers give me the freedom that so few journalists have right now.
Paid subscribers allow me to take care of my family in what is, candidly, a dangerous environment.
The cost is about what you’d spend on a sandwich for lunch, per month. And you get access to exclusive content, to me, and other benefits.
If you can’t swing it, I understand. Trump has done his best to make this the least affordable economy in a generation.
But if you can, I am grateful if you’d consider joining today. It’s the best way to tell the thugs trying to destroy this country that their intimidation tactics won’t work.
Again, thank you for being here.
