Trumps DOJ is targeting Daily Kos

President Donald Trumps Department of Justice is coming after us.
Thats not a metaphor. Its real.
I wish I could tell you more, but Im not allowed to say anything further. Convenient, isnt it? A perfect gift for an authoritarian regimeusing the power of the state to silence dissent and debate, all while shielding Trump from criticism.
Weve watched them go after ActBlue. After Media Matters. I guess it was inevitable that wed get our turn.
But you all know me: I dont back down from a fight. This is what Im built for. Mounting a vigorous legal defense doesnt come cheap, though. And as you all know, independent media isnt flushed with cash these days. We certainly arent.
Youour supportersgot us through our legal fight with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Im counting on you to help us now. Im not exaggerating when I say that this one is existential.
So please contribute to Daily Kos legal defense.
Honestly, we were planning to fundraise for something entirely differentthe next great version of Daily Kos. A new platform built for this community, with the features youve been begging for over the last two decades.
I cant wait to tell you all about it. Im downright bursting at the seams!
But first? Weve gotta deal with this bullshit.
Here are other ways to support us in this fight.
As always, thank you for being here. We couldnt do this without you.

No need for spies. Everything you/me/we post is already scraped and ingested and being analyzed.
