Thank you for all the work that you do! I’d like to know how those idiots thinks they’re going to keep Ebola and Hantavirus and other diseases out of the United States?How are they gonna screen people when they’ve dismissed all the medical and research personnel ?This shows even Dr. Oz who has a medical degree is an idiot!
Thank you, Norm, and to all the Democracy Defenders who help. I joined The Contrarian in the first week you and Jen began publishing. I am proud to support the great work that you and your team do. I grew up in D.C., and my father worked for the federal government for the majority of his career. This was in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, and my parents are "spinning" in their graves over all that is going on with this regime. At 78 years old, it is so hard to watch all that is happening. We, those who believe in democracy, will keep fighting. Thank you again for the good work you are doing.
At 78, I too grew up in D.C. Both of my parents, now late, are spinning as well. I'm thankful that they did not live long enough to see what is happening to our democracy.
I now subscribe to a TON of "associated" substack publishers, and it all started with The Contrarian, which I also joined in the very first week, angry as a wet hen at what the Washington Post had done. So grateful for what Norm & Jennifer started, AND the results they have been achieving. (Chickens coming home to roost now....)
Now is the time to say a great big THANK YOU to you, Norman Eisen, and your co-founder of The Contrarian, Jennifer Rubin. With all your subscribers, you two could sit back and get rich.
Instead, you both engage (and seemingly over-extend yourselves) as well as using a possibly huge part of The Contrarian's earnings to fight those legal battles for us and this country. And your subscription is lower than most of the other ones.
You both are totally amazing aand, again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Bravo! Bravo!! Bravo!!! So glad to support you and all you do. Makes me feel a little less guilty for the concentration camps---but only a little. Still----thank you! And---I know I needn't say it but---keep up the good work! (So many exclamation points, so little time.)
My one Substack subscription that does more than just handwringing and bitching and moaning. I'm proud to support your efforts and glad to see your efforts coming to fruition.
Alexander this is so true about a Contrarian subscription being so well spent in the personal fight to up hold our democracy!!! May I repeat, so well spent! So thankful for what Jen and Norm are doing for us everyday. Friday's wins are a reason to celebrate!! Trump has gone whimpering to his next Big Mac as he gives the Kennedy Center back to Congress!! And to WE THE PEOPLE.... who he tried to steal it from, no less.
You present quite the summary this week. The success of the restoration of the Kennedy Center name and the continuing resistance to the $1.8M slush fund is rewarding. The bricks are getting knocked out of Trump's wall, one by one. Thanks to you and others who are intent upon restoring freedoms and democracy, we are paying attention. The best we can do is all that we continue to do to end this regime.
Many thanks and many congratulations on the big court wins. Thanks so much for holding their feet to the fire in the illegal racist maps in Alabama. 🥂🥂
Must be highly satisfying to not only write about the news but to create the news. That’s power exercised for the good of all. I’m so happy I could contribute to these outcomes by being a paid subscriber. Grassroots support can make a difference when entrusted to good-hearted, brave, intelligent organizations. Thank you for all the good work you’ve done and continue to do.
While we're on the subject of great legal victories, I want to point everyone in the direction of an amazing book I just finished reading last evening:
Liar's Kingdom - How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America, by Andrew Weissmann.
Although Mr. Weissmann is a law school professor, a legal analyst and has been involved in huge legal cases in the past, this book is easily understood even by dummies like me and, unlike so many books coming out these days, Mr. Weissmann has some GREAT suggestion for two, possibly three, new laws, to end all the lying in politics.
Democratic "leaders," are you listening? Especially you and really everyone who lives in this country and values our democracy MUST read this book. Of course, Mr. Weissmann's suggestions won't go anywhere in the current congress - and most likely not in the current regime - but they give great hope for the future.
I appreciate your review of Liar's Kingdom. I am waiting for my copy. I have seen two interviews with Andrew Weissmann regarding his new book. I was very glad to hear that he is not shy about championing getting truth and honesty back in our political system! And that includes in things like political ads! Can you imagine a run up to a presidential election that does not allow lying ads?!? Or, getting corporate money out of all elections, federal or state!?!? These things alone would change the political landscape.
I’m very proud to support you. Keep up the great work. The opposition is fierce and a lesser person would shrink from it. Thank you!

"Dr." Oz abandoned the practice of medicine to peddle snake oil and misinformation, and of course, to play in politics.
And may I add Oz makes very lucrative land deals.
That's a new one on me, but of course he has the funds and the contacts to do it.
Google Dr Oz property for a property glimpse. :-)

Norm, your team and associates are warriors of justice. Truly appreciate it more than I can express.

As always, Norm,I am in awe of all “we” accomplish because of you and The Contrarian team. Thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you! Your court wins provide me with some hope…

After reading your post with a huge smile on my face (something that rarely occurs when Trump is the subject) I upgraded my subscription to PAID.
Keep up the great work toward saving our democracy!
Ditto here 🤗

Thanks for the tip; I cannot WAIT to check out Andrews ideas, so desperately needed!
