Jack,

The government is shut down. And predictably, the right-wing media machine is in overdrive trying to pin it all on Democrats. That’s their playbook: cause chaos, blame us, then flood the airwaves so no one else can cut through.

Meanwhile, our side? We don’t have billionaires underwriting propaganda outlets. What we do have is this community, this site, and the power of truth. But that only works if we keep it strong, keep it growing, and keep it fighting.

Daily Kos is where progressives get the information and context they need to fight back. But truth doesn’t defend itself—we have to defend it together.

We need you to chip in. Right now.

P.S. The shutdown is real, the blame game is rigged, and the only way we push back is together. Please donate now to keep our side strong.
