I’m no gushing fanboy, and I don’t need your autograph or your attention, but sometime today I hope you lift a glass of something nice and toast yourself, in the name of all of us, whom you may never meet, whose lives you make better and more interesting, for not selling out, not telling lies, and never losing your sense of humor.

Happy thanksgiving to you Matt, and thank you for your work.

It's courageous and so necessary right now. You, Glenn, Bari and Sasha, I hope, are the beginning of the new fourth estate, replacing the old, broken mess that's devolved to nothing more than advocacy and click bait.

Go Lions and Go Blue!!!!

Thanks for the laughs, style and outrage. You’re moving to clean-up now that Jonathan Swift has retired. Had to shuffle Mencken and Orwell but they know it’s for the good of the team. Enjoy T-Day...and always remember that we’re counting on you to knock the hell out of any garbage pitches they throw your way. This game ain’t over!

If I had to pare my Substack bill down to one journalist, it would be you (well, maybe you and Greenwald). And extra credit for hooking up with that brilliant Walter Kirn. Best wishes to you and yours, and THANK YOU.

Thanks TK! Remember to print out Klain's "Biden's Top Accomplishments" T-day talking points, and add "whored the jab for Big Pharma".

Matt - When you link to an external article it would be helpful if you would note when it's behind a paywall, like Walter Kirn's Thanksgiving post today.

Please and thank you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

One of the things I’m most grateful for this Thanksgiving is true journalists like Matt Taibi and Walter Kirn among many others on Substack. I have no idea where we’d be without them. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Matt and crew! 🦃🍂🍁🧡

Happy Day and football to you and yours. I was hoping you'd get a mention of your Thanksgiving talking points directive in and wasn't disappointed. They really have fully lost the plot.

Happy Thanksgiving back at you. Unfortunately, the Kim article is behind a paywall. I am thankful we have journalists like you.

Walter 's great, but why doesn't he just go for $9.99 a month instead of just $9. But either way it's too pricey for me...

Thank you, Matt. Your writing is well researched, eloquent and insightful. So rare these days.
