Jack, Donald Trump is officially the president again. I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard this loud ticking clock counting down to the moment we once again have to face a Trump administration and all of the oligarchic, discriminatory, hate-filled things to come.

Now the moment is here, and we’re still standing. We’re ready. I think back to the first Trump administration and how you, the Daily Kos community, stood strong in the face of it all. I remember the thousands and thousands of letters, calls, and signatures from all of you who wanted to fight back. I remember reading Daily Kos stories that held NOTHING back—calling out Trump and his MAGA loyalists for exactly what they are every step of the way—because we don’t answer to the billionaires who run Trump and traditional media.

So today, on Day One, remembering what we did and WILL do together again, we face the road ahead. Daily Kos is ready, but we need your support.

Daily Kos is ready for Trump Round 2—ready to hold Trump and his MAGA loyalists accountable every step of the way. Readers like you fund almost all of what we do. We rely on you, report to you, and fight with you. Can you donate $5 or $10 today to help launch our fight against Trump 2.0?

We’ve already had a hard launch into 2025. The California wildfires have been nothing short of devastating. But in true inspirational fashion, you stepped up and helped raise over $150,000 in support of organizations on the ground and their relief efforts.

THIS is the community I know and love. And this is the community that I am proud to face Trump 2.0 with. We came out of the first administration together, united, and we remain so heading into Round 2.

Daily Kos is ready to keep you informed and provide ways for you to fight back—this is the work we will do together! Really, the energy I remember feeling before and the readiness I feel now … let’s do this!

We cannot do this without you. We are ready to keep you informed and engaged, but we need your support to do just that. Support one of the best lines of defense against Trump—independent news and united action. Please donate today.
