Daily Kos (/kz/ KOHZ) is a group blog and internet forum focused on the U.S. Democratic Party and progressive[1] liberal American politics.[2][3] The site publishes blog posts,[4] polls,[5] election and campaign fundraising data,[3][6] and is considered an example of "netroots" activism.[7][8]

Daily Kos was founded in 2002 by Markos Moulitsas and takes the name Kos from the last syllable of his first name, his nickname while in the military.[3][4]
