    18 June 2013, 12:43 pm by: David Waldman

    17 June 2013, 12:57 pm by: David Waldman

    NSA remains at the top of the charts this week, with things only becoming more confused the more articles are written on the subject. A CNET story relying on reactions from Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) to a Congressional briefing stirred the hornet's nest over the…

    12 June 2013, 1:00 pm by: David Waldman

  • Kagro in the Morning - June 10, 2013

    10 June 2013, 11:58 am by: David Waldman

    Total media dominance by a single, giant story has its advantages. One, it makes it easy to decide what to discuss that day on the show, and; two, it makes writing the episode synopsis relatively simple. Greg Dworkin and Armando both joined in the early…

  • Kagro in the Morning - May 31, 2013

    31 May 2013, 12:50 pm by: David Waldman

    We started off this morning with a look at the startling National Journal article, "Gun Deaths Since Newtown Now Surpass Number of Americans Killed in Iraq." But as startling as that is, it's based on Slate's crowd-sourced and "necessarily incomplete"…

    29 May 2013, 12:00 pm by: David Waldman

    Greg Dworkin was back with us, but only for today. Busy week for him! But he was on hand to discuss the Bachmann retirement, today's somewhat laughable Tom Friedman article, GMU's Center for Media and Public Affairs' analysis of Politifact, and the quarter to…
  • Kagro in the Morning - May 28, 2013

    28 May 2013, 12:22 pm by: David Waldman

    Seems like the context of the IRS story is changing bit by bit. The White House tees up a filibuster fight over judicial nominations, preparing up to three appointments to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Since that was the court that stood the last century of…

  • Kagro in the Morning - May 21, 2013

    21 May 2013, 12:07 pm by: David Waldman

    The day's news was obviously dominated by the Oklahoma tornado situation. In addition to providing our morning news and punditry roundup, of course, Greg Dworkin's an expert in disaster preparation, so we dove into that as well. And once again, disaster…
  • Kagro in the Morning - May 20, 2013

    20 May 2013, 12:44 pm by: David Waldman

    Greg Dworkin confirmed for us that the weekend political world was pretty much frozen in place in the middle of last week, so we'd have to look elsewhere for political news not involving Republicans making breathless but unfounded comparisons to Watergate.…
  • Kagro in the Morning - May 17, 2013

    17 May 2013, 12:09 pm by: David Waldman

    Wrapping up the week with Greg Dworkin, it seems the embers are dying in the "scandal" fires, one at a time. The Sunday shows always run a few days behind, though, because guests and topics are typically locked in by mid-week. On the radar today: Kevin Drum's…
  • Kagro in the Morning - May 16, 2013

    16 May 2013, 12:34 pm by: David Waldman

    During Greg Dworkin's morning roundup, we wondered whether maybe the biggest casualty of this week's scandalpalooza has really been the Benghazi hoopla. Conservative fire remains concentrated on the IRS story, though that seems to be the one that offers the…

  • Kagro in the Morning - May 14, 2013

    14 May 2013, 1:05 pm by: David Waldman

    Washington's focus on "scandal" continued today, to no one's surprise. Armando called in on the IRS, Benghazi and AP stories, plus the truly astounding Washington Post "fact check" of the "act of terror" versus "terrorist act" flap. We expanded the discussion…
  • Kagro in the Morning - May 13, 2013

    13 May 2013, 12:35 pm by: David Waldman

    Death panels! I mean, Demon Pass! I mean, Benghazi! I mean, IRS! Yeah, we probably shouldn't feed this, but there's so many tangential issues tied up in how we treat charges of politicization of federal agencies, we just had to take a look. Greg Dworkin…
  • Kagro in the Morning - May 10, 2013

    10 May 2013, 12:03 pm by: David Waldman

    Drawing on the information from past #KITM shows, you can convert frustrated WalMart shoppers into anti-WalMart evangelists, one at a time! Jonathan Chait on "Why Left and Right Economics Can't Just Agree." Catholic hospital ditches Catholic doctrine when it…

    7 May 2013, 12:19 pm by: David Waldman

    The day's hot stories kick off today's show, from Chris Christie to the Cleveland kidnappings. But the bigger picture dominated, as Greg Dworkin filled us in about new studies suggesting enormous savings to come from pretty much exactly what health reformers…
