Kagro in the Morning - November 13, 2026
Can you feel it? That stately aura of "distinction" emanating from today's KITM? That's right, David Waldman again welcomes SUNY Distinguished Professor of Historical Studies at Empire State University of the State University of New York, author of Riling Up the Base: Examining Trump's Use of...

Kagro in the Morning - November 12, 2026
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin get us almost to the weekend, but after all, it's not the destination, it's the journey through the insanity and chaos that's important. Pete Kegsbreath is not in the habit of maintaining silence or paying respect to soldiers and thus needed reminding on Veterans…

Kagro in the Morning - November 11, 2026
We won! Time to get used to the disappointment, frustration, and anger. Today, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin arrive to quell the mob. Yes, eleven Democrats missed voting on the referral of eight articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth, thus giving Pete complete vindication and permanent...

Kagro in the Morning - November 10, 2026
David Waldman has so much… too much to tell you today! Between lessons from him and AOC, you will learn a lot! Donald K. Trump called in to C-SPAN accompanied by a tittering Stephen Miller… or perhaps that was Lauren Boebert just giving Donald a hand recount? That's unclear… however Trump has…

Kagro in the Morning - November 9, 2026
David Waldman isn't yet sick of winning and hopes to load up on some more this week. Dems won, Gops lost in so many ways that Greg Dworkin needed two rafts for all of the stories today. What a card! Donald K. Trump was pretending to make the "Dana White" that he knew for years as his new press...
-
Kagro in the Morning - November 6, 2026
It turns out that David Waldman finds his hands just as full disseminating the good news as he did with the bad! The National Capital Planning Reichstag has rubber-stamped the Donald K. Trump memorial arch & guard tower, which was blocked just before the bulldozers could warm up. Trump then…

Kagro in the Morning - November 5, 2026
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring us good news and cheer for the second day in a row! It turns out that the polls were wrong as usual, but in a more pleasant direction this time. Oh well. You win some, you lose some… and Dems sure won some! Dems won huge, in big ways and small, from over here…

Kagro in the Morning - November 4, 2026
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, together again! And our headline story is, for once, not horrific! Hey, we won! Red riptide turned to a blue tsunami last night. Not just a tsunami, but tsunamis, a tsunami of tsunamis. Historic wins, historic winners, rights won, rights protected, big wins with…

Kagro in the Morning - November 3, 2026
It's the last day of voting! Because you have, in all likelihood, already made your decision, we will defy Greg's designation of this election as a persuasion election, and just talk about the various ways in which Donald Trump is a total dumbass. First, he made a total dumbass speech yesterday....
-
Kagro in the Morning - November 2, 2026
David Waldman weaves a tight KITM today, with a day before midterms. The polls say… well, you know what the polls say. Polling hopefully weighted the morons correctly this time, but you never know… well, you probably know that too. You know you should vote tomorrow if you haven't, right? Dan J....

Kagro in the Morning - October 30, 2026
David Waldman ends the week we'll probably be fondly reminiscing about, marveling at the peace and harmony of those halcyon days… The DOJ is charging California state and local officials with something; it doesn't really matter what. In Alaska and California Trump's point isn't to win in court,...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 29, 2026
David Waldman returns to straighten out this mess, two hours at a time. Normally astute, eminently sagacious Greg Dworkin can't shake that Elon monkey on his back. A sad, dirty habit, not to mention that it took me 20 minutes to find substitute links. Sorry, but a couple of those roaches still…
more -
Kagro in the Morning - October 28, 2026
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin deliver a KITM with only a week to go before the election denying begins! in the meantime, we have polls, early voting, and other bone throwing to parse. Things are bad, so that's good. Dems are voting like there's no tomorrow. If Gops don't vote tomorrow, Democrats...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 27, 2026
David Waldman gets us within a week of election day. Let's keep going! 0 days since a Trump rally didn't mention ass. This time at least, it was Trump's fat ass… JD likey! Not a KITM summary goes by that we don't point out the connection between Russia, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Kompromat…

Kagro in the Morning - October 26, 2026
Election day is next week! David Waldman reviews the weekend and previews the week, and finally Greg Dworkin returns hauling another Raft O' Stories dropping only a few tips into the mega-MAGA donor's tip jar. Polls. You shouldn't rely on them, even when they aren't fake. Early voting results,...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 23, 2026
David Waldman meets our admittedly high expectations with today's Friday KITM. Shocker! There are people in the world who purportedly believe that Jared Kushner acted as a "diplomatic envoy" at some point during his life and now want him to quit! That's insane. When would Jared Kushner have the...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 22, 2026
David Waldman is back and solo again, as Greg is still out supervising construction on the east wing of KITM World Headquarters. In Ohio, few people were fully aware of what a prick Vivek Ramaswamy is. Vivek himself finally got the word out this week with the help of Amy Acton's own rape...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 21, 2026
David Waldman deflects the information firehose our way for a couple of hours. What an ass! Donald K. Trump never studied the body of a man before, but now that he has, it's the only thing on his mind. It could be ass-envy as Donald's is more machine than ass at this point. Yesterday, Trump was…

Kagro in the Morning - October 20, 2026
A clear Tuesday calendar (with the exception of a note from Scott Anderson that he's out-of-pocket today) left us with a stark choice: dive into just a few key stories, in-depth, or; a flurry of lightning round treatments of a dozen or more stories, all figuring into a more complete understanding...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 19, 2026
David Waldman kept today's KITM going until his last UPS died. Listen on Libsyn! Bert Mizusawa might have what it takes to win an election, but not in David's county, they're picky there. Gops are struggling and Elon Musk needs every penny he can get to give to them. Greg Dworkin does what he can...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 16, 2026
David Waldman presents another KITM under the cloud of another mass shooting. This time, a teen shooter killed four people in an elementary school before apparently encountering some bystander cleaning their gun. He was stopped before he made it to the Nurse's Office, where Trump was aiming him.…
more -
Kagro in the Morning - October 15, 2026
David Waldman bides his time and ours till the election, by releasing another fascinating KITM. Elon Musk is a supervillain who has actually chosen to kill millions, not because of profit or ideology, but by whim. He owns a microblogging propaganda website that Greg Dworkin visits in order to...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 14, 2026
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin take us one day closer to Election Day. And Halloween! Probably a few others we wouldn't want in a hurry, but Election Day can be ASAP. Horoscopes and polls predict the future about equally well, yet the day after with a bad horoscopevdoesn't hit quite so hard. The...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 13, 2026
David Waldman brings us the newest about the latest on KITM. Donald K. Trump opened his Circle of Hell in Youngstown, to praise John Husted's impressive "data center". I don't know how Husted should take this, as Donald was probably lying. Apparently, kickbacks were running thin and Kimberly...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 12, 2026
David Waldman congratulates Hitler Mussolini, one of the "good ones", on today's jam-packed KITM. For several months, Greg Dworkin has brought us polls which we understood were really probably not portents of anything to come. Well, those days are done, that cake has sailed, we now have early...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 9, 2026
David Waldman treats us to another KITM beforeanother jerky weekend. Did you hear? There's talk about impeaching Donald K. Trump and Pete Kegsbreth! So much so that the two of them teamed up to introduce a frankly compelling alternative. Yes, it is impossible to underestimate the depravity of…

Kagro in the Morning - October 8, 2026
David Waldman fixed his KITM audio problems! Now, if he only knew how he did it, he could try to remember it for next time. Greg Dworkin brings us joyous polling with great tidings of Democratic leanings! Double haters will smite the Gops as we head to the promised land of November 4… Ok, polls...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 7, 2026
David Waldman keeps waking up with computer problems that he previously solved yet can't remember how. Henceforth, future tech solutions will be tattooed somewhere on his body. Greg Dworkin rounded up the punditry and the polls. The polls show voters heading towards to the blue everywhere, no...
-
Kagro in the Morning - October 6, 2026
David Waldman does it again! We will continue until we address all news stories and read all words. Praise the Lord! Denny Hastert yesterday, Jim Bakker today. Voting/prayer lines are jammed for tomorrow's third pick. Donald K. Trump suggested letting Iran "Take Out" Los Angeles and San Diego…

Kagro in the Morning - October 5, 2026
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back! Actually, we only turn the microphones on weekdays, they talk continuously. Almost any way you look at it, a blue wave… could… be coming. Trump voters are already beginning to forget that they were Trump voters. Donald K. Trump's popularity is at an…

Kagro in the Morning - October 2, 2026
David Waldman ends the week and kicks off the first weekend of October and its October surprises. Money to go to Europe and Ukraine gets shuffled to Latin America. Money from the Minority Health Office gets shuffled off to RFK Jr. Everyday, Trump's shuffling money to his crew but also starving…

Kagro in the Morning - October 1, 2026
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin kick off the KITM Octoberfest. "The outlook is good.", say pollsters who rarely, if ever, use a Magic 8 Ball. Republicans now have a 27% chance of holding the Senate. They have a 1 out of 100 chance of winning the House. Don't say they didn't warn you. For instance,...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 30, 2026
At least David Waldman can prove where he was this morning. Eric Schmidt was hoist with his own Jack Smith petard the moment that we all discovered, in real time, his very own conspiracy theory was 100% Schmidt. And to think Eric was so close to the big time too! Greg Dworkin hauls in a huge Raft...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 29, 2026
David Waldman weaves a fine tapestry of stupid news for us today. Donald K. Trump wants more money, more bribes, more gold. "To the victor go the spoils" is the key message of the Constitution, and the Bible, as far as he's concerned. Trump had a pile of Venezuelan gold at his feet before the...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 28, 2026
On today's KITM, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin count down the days until the midterm elections and determine that there are altogether too many of them. Are Democrats going to win the midterms? Who knows! If you were to poll polls, they would tell you that they like "Democrats", and that they...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 25, 2026
Well, David Waldman tumbled out of bed and stumbled to the studio/kitchen, poured himself a cup of ambition, yawned and stretched and tried to come to life… results might have been mixed, but KITM only goes 9 to 11, then there's the weekend! Markwayne Mullin, unmarried, has had a long-term…
more -
Kagro in the Morning - September 24, 2026
David Waldman is here to distract us from the distractions with some important stuff. Greg Dworkin has all the latest pole news and as you'd expect Donald K. Trump is coming up way short, but today we're talking microscopic. Trump is dragging the party so low that even Susan Collins is in...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 23, 2026
Greg Dworkin is back, and so is the Abbreviated Pundit Roundup! We tried to abbreviate it even more today, but only partially succeeded. How bad are things getting out there for Republicans? Bad enough that Karl Rove gives me a run for my money with his own Dotard J. Trump impression. Seriously,...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 22, 2026
Shofar so good! David Waldman topped up his atonement over the weekend and returned today, set to talk about lascivious corruption. Lauren Boebert is always ready to lend a hand with a scandal or two or three… several at a time when she's in the mood. Now there's a complaint filed with the U.S....
-
Kagro in the Morning "Encore Performance" - September 22, 2025, airing September 21, 2026
The vagaries of the lunar calendar has given us a second September Monday away from the microphone, dropping Yom Kippur right at the start of this week. So we'll have to go with a rerun today. I have to begin by asking, "Do you remember the 21st night of September?" Because if you don't, then our...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 18, 2026
David Waldman needs some reeeeeeeest! He and we are tired. Sick and tired of winning. David won't be with us for his two favorite holidays, Talk Like a Pirate Day and Yom Kippur, but we are almost certain to return next Tuesday reinvigorated. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center saved money by...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 17, 2026
David Waldman told Greg Dworkin to go away and come back tomorrow, and he did! Donald K. Trump is not winning and is especially grumpy that Representative Joyce Beatty is a Black woman. That might not be foremost in most minds, but it's been running through Donald's like cyclosporiatic lettuce....
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 16, 2026
David Waldman gets us to the middle of the week, and Greg Dworkin has GOT the polls! Polls really do mean something after Labor Day… Or is that when they become meaningless? Either way, polls are just numbers, a snapshot in time, a glance at the past rather than the future, not a prognostication,...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 15, 2026
David Waldman takes us halfway through September! The leaves are beginning to change, the Senate is wheeling in its potted plants, and the last impeachments of summer flock to DC. Ok, this impeachment effort did not last long. But don't give up on learning your Latin law phrases! As long as…

Kagro in the Morning - September 14, 2026
50 days until the midterms, probably! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin don't spare a minute of the 155 they offer you today to keep you up-to-the-minute on the news. Donald K. Trump guesses that there's more important things in life than being adored, but he can't imagine what that would be....
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 11, 2026
You probably won't believe this, but something super-dumb and un-American happened last night at the fake Republican jamboree, and Trump was the one doing it. But while Trump was busy coercing personal pledges of loyalty from everyone in the room, JD Vance was seeding the New York Times with...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 10, 2026
David Waldman reviews day one of Trumpapalooza. David, of course, saw none of it as no one did. Joining him today is KITM's very own Greg Dworkin. Greg usually tows in a raft o' stories, however today it was a steaming scow of fetid X-links. If you have the time, try plugging each poster's name...
-
Kagro in the Morning - September 9, 2026
David Waldman has another show for us this week! What did Delaware? Greg Dworkin won't say. It's after Labor Day though, and everybody wants to know, now that there's little that can be done about it. Who Rhode Island? Helena Foulkes incumbent Dan McKee. Voters demand new names yet prefer old…

Kagro in the Morning - September 8, 2026
We've made it past Labor Day! Those of us accustomed to picturing David Waldman in seersucker and straw boater should forthwith imagine him in something more seasonally appropriate. Beef? Is it what's for supper? Sure, technically, but with regulation on the "honor" system, you will have to prove...
-
Kagro in the Morning "Encore Performance" - September 8, 2025, airing September 7, 2026
We take Labor Day seriously around here. Which is to say, "off." We take Labor Day off. Not always, of course. Which undermines the earlier premise. But we're not not doing it today, so who cares? What we are doing is re-running our September 8, 2025 show. And won't you be surprised by how very...
