When Jeff Stein reported on Pentagon health official Keith Bass, Bass sued him. Through Substack Defender, we helped secure local counsel and fight the case.

Today, Jeff won! The case was dismissed with prejudice in federal court.

Independent journalists should be free to do their work, even when powerful people dislike their reporting. We’re proud to back Jeff here, and to help create a world where people think twice before messing with creators on Substack.
