The art of breaking down the news without breaking down our readers

You know that feeling of being overwhelmed by the pace of news—mostly horrifying news—in the Trump era?

The small but mighty editorial team at Daily Kos lives in that firehose eight to 10 hours a day, dedicated to bringing context, insight, and analysis to the day’s events. Readers often wisely choose to take a deep breath, dip into news, then turn their attention to their own personal lives and jobs.

But for our team, this is their job. And it’s a tough one.

The Daily Kos editorial team analyzes the Trump era news every day to bring you the latest information. We are $123,742 from hitting our fundraising goal. Can you support their work by giving $5 today?

The day starts on the East Coast with our managing editor, Barb Morrill, facing the storm of presidential tweets, more stories about immigrant children in cages, and horrors that range from proposed laws to apply the death penalty to women who seek abortions to gutting protections for the environment as the world burns. From these nuggets, she creates a list of stories for our writers to weigh in on for the day.
