Michael Cohen speaks his mind on his break with Donald Trump, his prison experience, and how he means to set an example for Americans struggling with how to live in this moment
Question: On multiple news platforms, senior Dem senators are being asked to respond to the Bernie/AOC rallies against oligarchs. I have yet to hear any one word of appreciation or affirmation or recognition of the large scale desire of American citizens to engage with leaders like these two. What's the problem here? Seriously, will Dems across senior leadership not even express gratitude for this excellent endeavor and also give a rip about how much people need them to make it make sense?
I’m with you on this sentiment. Not a word of support from Dem leadership or even Progressive leadership to really support the work Bernie and AOC are doing. The legacy media is doing a better job than senior Dems!
AND why isn’t any other leadership joining them? Maxwell Frost joined them, but I’m not aware if others. What am I missing?
Thanks, Michael. You paid a high price to get to this place. Your comments ring absolutely true - 'the truth shall make you free.' I hope you get to know that freedom as you spend the next months telling your story and helping Americans see where we are in time to chage course. In the past I always wondered why you looked so sad - today I saw a smile, well-earned. I look forward to following you in the months to come.
I don’t think trump will allow a free and fair election, or any election at all- in 2026 or 2028. I think Musk interfered with the last election on trump’s behalf.
Michael Cohen, I know you would hate the idea that anybody might feel this way or I think you would feel this anyway, but you are - a Saint. What you put yourself through for the sake of principle is something that most people in this country would never consider doing. Just say nothing of the emotional disconnect and the trauma and the PTSD you suffered from the relationship with he who shall not be named is another story. The trajectory this life has insinuated itself onto you is something I can’t possibly even imagine although I can see it so I suppose I can’t imagine it. I grew up in a household, where I was lectured at every day of my childhood to never think that it couldn’t happen here and now I witness what happened to you and I know that both of my parents were right.
Sorry about the awkward sentence syntax but I’m trying to just get it out there and not be too precious about it all – – you brought me to my knees in tears. Your courage and indignation, at once, is enough to keep a giant movement trudging forward back to safety. Please keep it up, please stay safe, please surround yourself with enough people so that you never get hurt again and thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️ - my heart is broken for you and your family and at the same time. I’m so incredibly impressed with your ability to keep it all together. I hope you can sleep soon.
Anand, I have needed a break this week, but I want to thank you for this interview with Michael Cohen. Sometimes I have found it hard to listen to him because of the anger. But this vulnerable moment gave me more compassion for him. I have some of the same anger and I cannot live in it because it makes me ill with debilitating symptoms.

Thank you again.
The Zero Sum lie has become so deeply embedded in the “American story” and culture that the current regime can smoothly live it out across the globe.
There is relief from PTSD.
I wanted to take Michael Cohen in my arms and make the hurt go away.
