President Donald Trump AP original 
A daily roundup of the best stories and cartoons by Daily Kos staff and contributors to keep you in the know. 
Trump’s spite finally finds worthy target: The GOP 
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. 
Hegseth ramps up discrimination in the Navy 
His plot to resegregate the military is going swimmingly. 
Admitted killer wins GOP governor’s nomination in Colorado 
Republicans sure know how to pick ‘em. 
Getting bills passed 
Under the table is always best. 
By permission of Mike Luckovich and Creators Syndicate 
Excusez-moi? 
French World Cup team’s choice of airline raises eyebrows 
It’s not a great look. 
Will Trump airport branding cause Palm Beach businesses to suffer? 
Millions will recoil at flying into DJT airport—to say nothing of staying and spending their money there. 
Click here to see more cartoons. 
We'll get straight to the point: The financial hardships that Daily Kos is facing this year are tough. 
We continue to be paywall-free. 
We continue to be supported by our readers, not billionaires or corporations. 
But we need to bring in more revenue. 
We are leaning on our community more than ever to help make ends meet.
