Jack, An anti-vaccine crusader in charge of public health. It sounds like a nightmare, but it’s unfortunately our new reality. Robert Kennedy Jr., known for promoting anti-vaccine conspiracies, now leads a key health department, risking the safety of millions and eroding trust in life-saving science. At Daily Kos, we know Kennedy’s tactics well. He even sued us, demanding the identity of one of our community members—just for translating an article revealing his ties to extremist groups. Kennedy's suit hit us at a terrible time. Ad revenue has severely declined over the past few years—not just for Daily Kos, but for news outlets big and small, whether they be print, digital, or broadcast. This frivolous lawsuit became a major expense at the same time our income was plummeting. Just like he quit the race for the presidency, Kennedy tried to have his own suit against us dismissed earlier this year. We refused, though, because we wanted to make Kennedy pay. Literally. This suit has seriously hurt us financially, so we've continued the legal battle to recoup the expenses that have piled up over the past three years. Make Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pay for the frivolous lawsuit he brought against Daily Kos—literally! Donate $5 right now so we can continue this fight in court and recoup the costs of this nearly three-year legal battle.
