Exposing the corruption they want you to forget; Trump’s billion-dollar grift, GOP complicity, and the courage it takes to fight back when democracy is on life support.
I admire you, Michael Cohen, for how you've dragged yourself out of the swamp and are doing your best to drain it. You will go down in history as a hero; the others as Quislings, Nazi enablers. The more concrete suggestions you give us for action the more able we are to respond. Thank you.
Michael, your words always inspire me and admire how far you have come. Thank you for speaking out and if we all do whatever we can, large or small, we will make a difference.
The collateral damage that the Trump organization is wreaking on the rest of the world is also considerable .
Perhaps the Dems should draw up a bullet point list of their crimes to date and the perpetrators involved who will be brought to justice when the tide turns .
This list could be exhibited Everywhere … in the media on demonstration placards etc. Name names . Not all of the Trump politicians share his level of narcissism … many may fear being called out publicly .
I’m weary of all this BS myself! I’m 76 and never ever thought we’d be going through this horror show! I will ever give up! This is our country! Make America OURS again!
your words are what the Maga cultists (who are starting to have some doubts and shame about their beliefs) and all the others who know that what's going on is wrong, but are starting to feel numb and inert because they are protecting themselves, well, that's exactly what they need to hear.
'Courage is going on when you don’t have the strength ' but you persist, you let the fire within you burn, you don't let the embers cool down, but feed it, with your persistance and determination.
Have you read the book 'Navalny?' He's such an example of what you are calling for. And when you scream at the top of your lungs (or on your Substack ;) 'Never give up' - Well you remind me of him. So you go Michael. Speak - Preach - Don't stop... And don't forget to have some fun/peace somehow while doing it (okay, I know that's hard - but I'm sure you can do it.)
Us North Americans need to be all in this together.
Michael, I will be honest. When I first learned of you, you were the lawyer working for the person I detest most in the world who paid off a porn star for his boss. When you sat in front of congress and testified for hours under oath and subsequently accepted your punishment, my opinion completely changed. You gained my admiration and respect. I’ve read both of your books. I can hardly wrap my head around everything you’ve experienced because of your former boss and still you fight. Your voice is extremely important to The Resistance. No one knows Trump like you. You are uniquely able to tell America how he thinks. I hope you can make in roads with MAGA and help them exit the cult. We are all in this together. We can overcome the destruction currently being inflicted upon the US!! Thank you for everything, Michael!!
Thank you for all you are doing. Since you came out of the cult, you have a good insight of what to expect and it's not pretty. We all know what he is doing because he, himself is telling and showing us. What we never expected was the Senate turning their backs on us. We know that most of them are as crooked as the regime and are probably making $ off of his crimes. To me, that is the only way they would turn their backs on America. This isn't just about politics anymore. It's about fighting crime. They should all be deported. This country has more crime than it did before tRump took office and it comes from within. Those that are supposed to protect us, have turned against us. They are so far reaching with their crime spree. It's like a fungus. Just keeps spreading. Let's get rid of this fungus and rebuild our country.
I agree so much with the first commentator Anne. Your courage is admirable and I don't think you are to blame for anything because you were in the thick of poison, and yet, managed to get out, escape while paying a horrible price. When he, the ogre, said " retribution" I believe he meant particular people, but also on the American people in general, because we voted him out. That is the chaos that is revenge, plus in purpose to disorient us, as you describe. Once out of this mess, I think you will go down in history as a key element of our being saved . Thanks, Michael
I’m so proud of your fight Michael. I supported you and this cheez turd in ‘16. I now am proud to support you. I’m embarrassed but redeemed. Fight the fight man. We are here with you. Kick his ass!!!!
This was so beautifully written, Michael, and SO powerful. You pour your heart out. You HAVE lived that, and that speaks volumes. I wish that MAGA could see or hear this testimony to understand "the man behind the curtain" and the smoke and mirrors that surround 47. You clawed your way out, facing the jeering Romans in the Colosseum while the wannabe king watches and nudges them on. You have my respect, so keep standing up and speaking out without fear. Republicans don't want to hear Dems and Independents talk, but they should listen to "reformed Republicans" (haha) or as Kinzinger says, "principled Republicans". But even if we can't reach MAGA, there are still a lot of centrists out there (I convinced my husband to vote Dem for this one election). We may just win them over, just one vote at a time. I am an Independent and a DAR foot soldier awaiting command. I am stepping up my game!
Michael, you’re truly incredible! Love the spirit. I never miss your posts and video on Substack. Though I live in Ireland the fight for the truth is ongoing here, too. Lots of people are misled, inclined towards Putin propaganda and support Trump deeds. I try to push against local MAGA supporters, it takes plenty of effort to convert them, but sometimes I succeed. I find inspiration in your daily fighting alongside with great fellows like Jim Acosta, Joe Walsh, Steve Schmidt and others. I firmly believe the America will be back. ❤️
I fear that fighting this takeover will come to violence in the streets. If they don’t follow the Constitution and the laws of the land, how will we succeed by following the law? We have been numbed into inaction. We need the ability to have an enforcement arm of our resistance. They are jailing judges and ignoring all our attempts to stop our capitulation into authoritarian rule. The SUPREME COURT is toothless and useless to us. What if we find law enforcement and military personnel who are on our side? Is this possible? This is a coup in progress! We also need the ability to protect resistance targets.
I felt like that. Defeated, sad, gave up. Then I followed Jim Acosta to Substack and got reenergized because of all of you fighters. I know this will end and hopefully it won't be to late. I still don't know why he's not being held accountable for treason. Maybe some day.

Yep. The Republican Party is dead.

“Good Trouble” great quote from John Lewis.
Hopefully, the Republicans will be crushed in the midterms. They have enabled the orange conman 🤬
The collateral damage that the Trump organization is wreaking on the rest of the world is also considerable .

I’ll start the list with a few Republican cowards from Texas. Cancun Cruz, John Cornyn and Greg Abbott et al.
So proud of you always, Michael! 🫶🏻🩷

You're so right - It is about fighting crime now.

Thank you Michael, keep up the spirit and devotion to and for all of us who agree with you. This has gone way to far already!
Love your spirit!
