Jack,

It didn’t take long for Donald Trump to go after his perceived enemies in media and politics, launching a blitz of lawsuits and government actions against PBS, NPR, ActBlue, progressive law firms, and eventually, Daily Kos itself.

We held firm. We won.

But the fight exposed something critical: our 15‑year‑old infrastructure is vulnerable.

That’s why we’ve launched a capital campaign to rebuild Daily Kos from the ground up—stronger, smarter, and Trump-proof.

What we’re building:

• A modern, open-source platform that’s faster and cheaper
• Technical security against hostile hackers, both domestic and foreign, as well as government efforts to violate our community’s First Amendment rights
• A resilient legal and financial foundation, designed to withstand the full force of a hostile DOJ.

This is no longer just about growth. It’s about survival.

If you believe in independent media that refuses to be silenced, this is your moment. Contribute to the capital campaign now.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

With gratitude and resolve,
Markos Moulitsas
Founder, Daily Kos

P.S. This campaign isn’t optional — it’s essential. Help us finish the rebuild before the next wave hits.
