Daily Kos

Daily Kos is a digital media platform and progressive political community that serves as a hub for news, activism, and political analysis. Founded in 2002 by Markos Moulitsas, the organization has evolved from a solitary blog into one of the largest liberal online communities in the United States. The platform functions as a hybrid news organization and activism center, providing a space for both staff writers and community members to publish content related to American politics, elections, and public policy. Its editorial mission focuses on empowering readers with information and resources to influence government and win elections, maintaining a strong commitment to factual, ethical, and unapologetically progressive coverage.

The company operates as a remote-first organization with headquarters in Oakland, California. Daily Kos distinguishes itself through its unique community-driven model, where registered users can post diaries, comment on stories, and participate in grassroots actions. In addition to its news and opinion content, the organization manages an activism team that coordinates petitions, letter-writing campaigns, and organized protests. Daily Kos also owns Civiqs, a polling and survey firm that conducts public opinion research. The platform is funded through a combination of reader contributions, advertising, and email list-building for political campaigns, ensuring its independence from corporate influence.
