    Thu 3:32pm By David Waldman
    Greg Dworkin helps launch us into the weekend, with a rapid-fire roundup that somehow made a detour to Madison Square Garden. There’s a new terrible Surgeon General nominee in town (who may or may not be into the raw milk thing), the old one having been…

    Wed 3:08pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back on the Wednesday KITM, and probably still aren’t AI generated, although honestly, have you ever actually seen them? Are Jesus and Buddha space alien lizard people? Trump TV is as unglued as Trump. AI chatbots will…

    Tue 5:37pm By David Waldman
    It’s Tuesday, time for David Waldman to freestyle the Tuesday Freestyle KITM! Anyway: Donald K. Trump is an idiot, but he is also the President and shouldn’t use his stupidity to avoid responsibility. Nevertheless, Trump is incredibly irresponsible,…

    Skype or no Skype, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin remain ready to entertain and inform us for another week or so, at least. What incomprehensibly stupid thing did Trump do or say this weekend? What incomprehensibly stupid thing didn’t he say or do? Trump…

    David Waldman gets us to the weekend, normally the time the crazy really cranks up.  Anymore, it’s normally crazy, crazy is the new normal, and you don’t want to be caught acting normal, or people will think you’re crazy. Donald K. Trump wants the US…

    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin discuss the first 100 days; the next 100 we might need to take a day at a time. Virginia’s Abigail Spanberger kind of leans Democrat, as so does her race for Governor in the state. The Senate almost stood up to Trump on…

    The Frick and Frack of facts and fun, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin close out the month with today’s KITM. Hoo boy are the next 100 days going to be awful. The Trump Tariffs Tsunami has begun to reach landfall and will be lapping over our hairlines in only…

    It’s Taco Tuesday, the day that David Waldman gives you something to taco ‘bout. You know that anything called the “crown jewel” of the justice department would soon become the “urinal cake” of the Trump administration, and that’s just what’s…

    Busy day today! David Waldman has not one, but two days of Trump embarrassment to cover while Greg Dworkin hauls in not one, but two big Rafts O’ Stories™! Donald K. Trump is a weak loser and everything he does sucks. The yutes that thought they’d love…

    If Paul Krugman can do a video podcast from the inside of a cargo hold under a bare lightbulb, David Waldman can from the KITM World Headquarters Bluebird Aviary and Bistro. Law student economic analyst boy genius Nathan Tankus can stop by any weekday…

    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin stand athwart chaos yelling Stop. But chaos never listens.  Pete Kegsbreath wasn’t allowed a phone in the Pentagon, so he had Signal installed on his computer. For our national security we clearly need to find the 5th grader…

    Apr 23, 2025, 2:13 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin catch us up on the previous crazy: Tariffs on! Tariffs off! Whose idea was it to put the world economy on Donald’s Clapper?  Trump doesn’t really care that what he said actually effected the economy or people. He just…

    Easter candies and matzo crackers go on sale this week! No white smoke yet though, so David Waldman and Greg Dworkin were both available to work on today’s show. The Pope met with JD Vance, then… Marjorie Taylor Greene rejoiced, but not hardly as much…

    On today’s KITM, David Waldman delivers us to the weekend and parks us right under the cloud of another mass shooting. Well, you can’t say this shooter was the quiet type who always kept to themselves that you’d never guess… Senator Chris Van Hollen…

    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are here today, with a 50% reduction in staffing projected for tomorrow. You don’t even want to know what is planned for Saturday. Hey, any human system will produce simple clerical errors, amirite? And afterwords, lie about…

    The weekend provided no respite from tariff whiplash. And the tariff whiplash (and attendant cheerleading) just drove the rest of the economy that much further down. Greg Dworkin even titled the APR with a warning. And of course, when you’ve lost Ross…

    Happy Going! We’re all getting punchy heading into the weekend, as if the weekend will be a breather for any of us. David Waldman effectuates our weekending KITM, and I facilitate that with this summary, I hope. Donald K. Trump pardoned a corporation, yet…

    Today on KITM, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back! Of course, you expected them to, but how often do things go as expected anymore? If you thought it was profitable lurking on Pete Hegseth’s signal chats, just think of being on Don Jr. or MTG’s alerts…

    A thunder of jets in an open sky... A streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"! A loop, a whirl, a vertical climb, and once again you know it's time for the adventures of David J. Waldman, his pal Greg Dworkin, KITM and friends! We are at the dawn of the Trump…

    Are you back in high school? Have your pants disappeared? Yes, you are in the middle of a nightmare... Lucky you. Waking nightmares are much more frustrating. At least we have David Waldman on KITM to explain some of the horrors befalling us. Bette Midler…

    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin return to today’s KITM. You didn’t think ever miss this, did you? For those of you keeping a tally, Donald K. Trump also does not understand what the word “beautiful” means.  The stock market continues to crash here…

    Why pay more? For far less than the hourly rate of a psychiatrist, David Waldman can address much of the anxiety that you, and he, suffer beneath the surface of each day. Dollar for dollar, KITM sooths and informs better than most barbers, bartenders,…

    Because The Donald waited until after the markets closed yesterday to announce the “details” of his tariff “plan,” Greg Dworkin had to wait until this morning to chime in on the results. And even though in the modern age there’s trading done at all…

    David Waldman is not April fooling. Why devote a single day of our year to cruel jokes when with Donald K. Trump, every day can be one? The real April Fools’ day is tomorrow when all, none, or some of Trump tariffs go into effect. Europeans have a…

    David Waldman delivers us to the end of the week. Anyone not detained this weekend for acts of dispatriotism can meet back here on Monday. Russia seems to use David’s random country generator to pick out its disinformation targets. Today it’s Austria!…
