Kagro in the Morning - January 20, 2026

David Waldman counts the years of this administration and… wait for it… we are beginning... year… Two! Donald K. Trump is a sick puppy. Barack Obama's Nobel prize wouldn't cure him. Obama's inauguration cake couldn't cure him. Nothing that Barack has would make Trump better, really. Every single person everywhere knows exactly what Jonathan Ross did to Renee Good, and why. So, of course, top dollar is being spent to alter those memories. Mom-and-son grifters Nick and Brooke Shirley have surely hit the bigtime. Meanwhile, it's been a bear market for truth, with another wave of resignations from the US Attorney's Office in Minnesota expected. Trump's "roving patrols" are closing in on Americans. Then there's Europe's Minnesota, Greenland. Minnesota and Greenland are exactly the same thing to Donald K. Trump and Vladimir Putin, who are exactly the same thing. Republicans are equally liable to oppose either. Vlad's got an invite to the new Diet United Nations, the BOP, along with anyone else with a GDP in their wallet. President Emmanuel Macron learned never to text capricious tween Trump, who put Macron's text on blast to all the cool kids, and put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes… are snails and frog legs next? Back in DC, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer utmost priority remains to advance President Trump's agenda by belittling and bullying staffers, funding extramarital affairs, committing fraud where possible and dropping her crew off at Mar-a-Lago West, aka Angels PDX.
