Dear Jack,

In just 1 month, President Donald Trump has unleashed a series of alarming actions that threaten the very fabric of our nation. Among those:

• • Pardoning Insurrectionists: Over 1,500 individuals who violently stormed the Capitol, including those convicted of assaulting federal officers.
  • Assaulting the 14th Amendment: With aims to end birthright citizenship, undermining a cornerstone of our Constitution.
  • Gutting federal agencies: and gutting the government’s ability function, from firing nuclear weapons inspectors who keep us safe to to freezing the funding that pays out lifeline benefits to citizens.

This is just the beginning. The Trump administration is moving at a breakneck pace to consolidate power, attack democracy, and erase the rule of law. If you are feeling overwhelmed, that is by design. If you’re alarmed by what’s happening, now is the time to step up.

At Daily Kos, we are tracking every move of this administration, exposing corruption, and giving you the unfiltered truth that the mainstream media often softens, normalizes, or ignores. But independent journalism like this doesn’t happen without reader support.

🔥 We need your partnership. Right now. 🔥

Trump and his allies want you to be uninformed. They want you overwhelmed. That’s how they win. But we are fighting back—providing the facts, cutting through right-wing spin, and ensuring you have the information you need to push back against their lies.

If you value real accountability journalism, now is the time to show it.

We need 1,000 readers to step up today—can we count on you? Donate $5, $25, or whatever you can.

We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. Our democracy cannot afford for us to be passive. If we want to stop this nightmare, we need to be informed, engaged, and ready to push back every single day.

Thank you for reading, for staying informed, and for helping us spread the truth.

Keep fighting,
