Lawsuit (please read)

Friend, bad news for anti-vaxx extremist and "Democrat"-turned-independent spoiler presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: A federal judge just threw one of his bogus lawsuits out of court! A quick recap in case you're just tuning in: - A pseudonymous Daily Kos community writer wrote about RFK Jr.'s appearance at a COVID conspiracy rally hosted by a group with links to neo-Nazis. He [sued Daily Kos]( to expose the writer's identity. We fought him in court. - RFK Jr. discovered the writer's identity through other means and sued him for defamation. He just [lost]( that suit, though he could appeal the decision. - Along the way, RFK Jr. decided to run [against President Biden]( for the Democratic nomination, became a "star" witness for [House Republicans](, used his new platform to push his [quack conspiracy theories]( to new heights, and then [dropped out]( of the primary to run as an independent. Daily Kos is still fighting Kennedy in court, in his original case against us. Unlike Kennedy, Daily Kos doesn't have a vast family fortune upon which to draw. As a progressive, independent news outlet, our biggest source of income is donations of just a few bucks at a time from readers like you. At a time when news outlets are coming under extraordinary financial pressure, with [hundreds]( of layoffs already in 2024, fighting this frivolous suit has been a terrible expense for us to bear. [That's why I'm asking you to donate $5 to Daily Kos right now to help offset the cost of this lawsuit. We should be using our resources to cover real news, debunking right-wing lies and misinformation, and informing voters of the issues at stake this fall, not beating back junk suits from anti-vaxx quacks.]( [DONATE]( Thank you, Markos Moulitsas, Founder Daily Kos If you wish to donate by mail instead, please send a check to Daily Kos, PO Box 70036, Oakland, CA, 94612.
