Seth, your efforts are inspiring and I am glad to be in your PROOF network. Good information takes an incredible amount of time to curate and patience is a necessity. I’m in “for a pound” and keep doing what you do! And I’m encouraging anyone who isn’t a subscriber to become one. My dad was a journalist and he never made a lot of money but he definitely made a difference. Thank you.

It's despairing to read major media accounts these days. The choice of words is often careless, the faux equivalency is alarming, and the lack of depth maddening. I look forward to Proof's 2023 contributions to our knowledge base.

Thanks so much Seth. I joined twitter in 2007, and was lucky to stumble upon you early on. My feed was filled with optimistic world views, art, music and politics but slammed into a deluge of politics when Trump ran for office. During his disgrace and my disgust, I've been so happy to follow you and feel so up-to-date. Proof not only delivers facts ahead of the curve, but does so by opening spaces for intriguing new avenues of inspection and thought. Let's hope your work helps lead to justice served and a healthier country down the line!

The wheels of justice move way too slowly when they now have to work around the political calendar.

I. Thank you for your Muckracking contributions. For Stage 2 I believe it is important that Proof “follow the money .” The Brennan Center wrote about industrialist support for Adolf Hitler when his party faced bankruptcy.

I read recent Forbes articles on billionaires and multimillionaire in fossil fuel, real estate casinos etc financing Trump, Cruz, Santis, Abbot and other white supremacist neofascist authoritarian movement.

Thanks for all you do, Seth. I hope you continue to take care of yourself and balance your personal requirements for R&R with saving our democracy--one long article at a time. We need you, and this new stage is Proof of how important your work is to the survival of the great American experiment.

I've been reading some of the released 1/6 transcripts and really wanting to read the experienced analysis you provide to understand if my impressions of them are accurate. For example, Ali Alexander's verbal word salad appears to simply be a long way of his saying "I don't recall" to nearly every single question, and Ginni Thomas is either a very unsophisticated simpleton or is doing a good job of impersonating one. I'm definitely looking forward to your breakdown of these transcripts and text messages.

How appropriate (as you have observed) that your "dog with a bone" persona is sharing information on Proof.news = "dog site"!

While I eagerly consume the tid-bits that others are publicising from the transcripts and evidence that has been released, I knew that the definitive analysis would come from Proof! There may be some obsessive nerd out there who sits in his/her basement, communicates with no-one but has absorbed and remembered every detail known about Jan6 (before & after), but so far no-one in the public arena matches you, Seth, for being able to connect obscure references & comments together to reveal hidden facets of it all.

I hope that your subscription base grows enough to take care of your legal expenses - otherwise I know some of us would also contribute to a fund to help with that particular problem - just sayin' ....

I absolutely love you, Seth! You are amazing. I'm so happy to help support you. Your in-depth, curatorial, "dogged" reporting and analysis is what we need.

Like I needed more to read... but this essay made me unwilling to miss the next, and the next. So here I am - I guess for the next year.

It boggles my mind that the largest group of traitors in world history is still roaming freely and one of them is about to become Speaker of the House! Give me a break! Our country is lost if they are not prosecuted led by the former President! It has to be extremely frustrating for Seth because he has produced all of the evidence necessary to convict them. I have never in my life seen anything so thorough! Seth has boggled my mind throughout this entire process. Sometimes I could swear he is a super computer posing as a journalist. Good Netflix series, huh? LOL
