I'm finding so many independent journalists are not really independent at all. Your journalistic integrity and the relentless quest to hold power to account set you apart. I consider it a privilege to have access to an honest endeavor. Keep up the awesome work!

Congratulations on your one year anniversary. I'm looking forward to your future posts and your YouTube channel. On a side note, I moved back to Madison last August after living in the State of Washington for 14 years. It's great to be back.

Madison is so underrated! What brings you back?

Family, friends, and missing the familiarity of Wisconsin.

“…subscribers sent a clear message to the gatekeepers: that the public is not only mature enough…” meanwhile some asshole in the comments keeps posting about Hunter’s hawg.

Thank you, Ken. there are an overwhelming (to me) amount of Independent journalists, but I suffer overload and it's not good for my health and happiness. One of the offerings I'm keeping is yours.

Ken, you're doing yeoman's work. Thank you. Fact based reportage with a diabolical fiend with similar-minded henchmen and henchwomen controlling the Executive Branch. New territory, calling for exactly what you're up to. Bravo sir!

Ken, can you look into this?

"A bipartisan measure to undo Trump's global tariffs fails in the Senate

The resolution to rein in Trump's tariff authority stalled on a 49-49 tie, with two senators missing the vote.

...

Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who voiced support for the measure, were absent for the vote. It needed a simple majority to pass."

Were McConnell and Whitehouse too incapacitated to vote or was it just considered a symbolic messaging bill and not worth bothering with?

My favorite works of yours at the intercept were your big investigations and exposés where you'd report on leaked info and whistleblowers. Very happy with what you've reported over the last year!

Jeffrey Goldberg told us you are a nihilist.

I'd be interested in your and William Arkin's take on this:

"Trump administration plans major downsizing at U.S. spy agencies

The CIA plans to cut 1,200 positions, along with thousands more from other parts of the U.S. intelligence community.

May 2, 2025 at 4:39 p.m. EDT"

Maybe someone should send Trump a copy of this:

Ken, since you keep an eye on the Representatives and Senators, have you heard anything that matches this reporting?
