Thank you for joining Substack on the very same day you left CNN, where you were one of the last strong voices willing to stand up for democracy instead of bowing to Donald Trump. Your reporting has never wavered in the face of threats, smears, or corporate cowardice, and I have no doubt that your next chapter will be just as fearless.

I’m grateful for your friendship and beyond excited to see you take on this platform. Independent media is where the fight is now, and there’s no one better to lead the charge.

Looking forward to everything that’s ahead.

Truth is all I want. Jim, I didn't like the shift in CNN's broadcasting and was tuning into other channels. I discovered, the best and most accurate news was from Substack and the Bulwark. Welcome to the real, unfiltered by CEOs, world.

Glad to join you here on Substack! While I still watch a few reporters on CNN, as a whole the network’s shift to capitulation is painfully obvious. Congratulations on becoming untamed and unmuzzled!
