If you want to support me right now, there are three simple things you can do: like this post, share it, and subscribe to Endless Urgency. But this is about more than supporting me. We’re building an independent media movement that won’t be intimidated, won’t look away from corruption, and won’t stay quiet when people in power abuse it. Every like, share, and subscription helps us reach more people, tell the stories others won’t, and build something powerful enough to fight back.
Hey folks,
This one is personal.
A New York Times story just dropped detailing how the Trump administration has been targeting my company—and I sat down with Adam Mockler to talk about what that actually looks like when you’re living through it. The legal bills. The threats. The toll on my family and my team. And why I refuse to let any of it scare me into silence.
Here are a few moments you don’t want to miss:
[00:01:58] I break down how this started, from a conspiracy theory and a House Judiciary Committee subpoena to an ongoing fight involving Trump’s DOJ.
[00:05:11] Why I decided that if they were going to drag me into this fight, I was going to speak out—and why I see this as part of a much bigger pattern.
[00:09:05] The part people don’t see: six-figure legal costs, endless calls with lawyers, disruption to my business, and the mental toll that comes with it.
[00:14:39] We get into the broader strategy behind Trump’s politics: convincing Americans that everyone and everything is corrupt so his own abuses start to feel normal.
[00:19:37] Why independent media matters so much right now—and why attempts to intimidate people speaking out can end up making all of us stronger.
This conversation is bigger than what’s happening to me. It’s about what happens when political power is used to intimidate critics, what fear does to people and institutions, and why we need independent voices willing to keep showing up anyway. We also talk about corruption, accountability, the changing media landscape, and the kind of democracy we’re trying to build together. If you value honest conversations like this—and independent media that won’t be scared into silence—help me keep building it.
