Hey folks,
This one is personal.
I’m breaking down the ongoing investigation into my company by Trump’s DOJ and the baseless right-wing conspiracy theory behind it. The legal bills. The threats. The toll on my family and my team. But I believe this is about something much bigger than me: using the power of government to intimidate people who speak out. And why I refuse to let any of it scare me into silence.
I have to be careful about what I say while this is ongoing. But I’m not going to be silent.
[00:01:31] How Trump’s threats against his perceived political enemies turned into something very real—and why I believe fear is the point.
[00:04:11] I explain the Laura Loomer conspiracy theory targeting me, how it escalated from internet attacks to a House Judiciary Committee subpoena, and why we fought back.
[00:07:35] What I can—and can’t—say about the ongoing investigation, plus the quote I gave to The New York Times about what I call a baseless “fishing expedition.”
[00:10:02] Why this goes beyond my company: the chilling effect that comes when people believe speaking up could put them, their families, or their livelihoods in the government’s crosshairs.
[00:12:34] A personal message about my business, my staff, my family, and why none of this is going to grind me down.
This episode is about what happens when political intimidation stops being abstract and lands at your front door. It’s about fear, power, accountability, and why we cannot allow threats and investigations to scare good people away from participating in our democracy. If you value independent voices willing to keep speaking out, help me keep this work going.
