    Wed 3:59pm By David Waldman
    Are you on Bluesky yet? That’s where all of the serious political players have been going lately. David Waldman came over on the Mayflower. Greg Dworkin looks as if he might hold onto the last bit of flotsam sinking into the ex-Twitter vortex, but…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 19, 2024

    Tue 3:27pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman delivers the Tuesday KITM. We’re still calling it “Tuesday”, right? It feels like we’ve already begun our 4-year long day of chaotic sludge. Perhaps if we didn’t make it all about him, but about what he’s doing, we would be able…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 18, 2024

    Mon 3:57pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman is back, like Mondays, but more pleasant, except that it is still Monday, with him in it. Greg Dworkin floats in on his Big Raft O’MFG X links! Nope... I won’t. Blue Sky, Threads or Daily Kos. Somebody’s techwiz has to fix this, not me.…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 15, 2024

    Fri 2:54pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman delivers us to the weekend, which is back to being just another day of chaos before the two days of chaos before he returns. Ever think about Donald Trump’s… future after politics? Following his election loss in 2020, D would have…

    Nov 14, 2024, 2:19 pm By David Waldman
    The Onion outbid us for the rights to Alex Jones’ InfoWars. It would have been nice, but we’re not bothered. Everyone knows that Kagro in the Morning is a much better name. Anyhow, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin wanted to rechristen…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 13, 2024

    Nov 13, 2024, 3:40 pm By David Waldman
    Well, at least another day brings us closer to finishing the vote counting. And that brings us closer to usable analyses. And because it’s Wednesday, Greg Dworkin can collect these analyses for us. There have been a sea of post-mortems, including several…

    Nov 12, 2024, 2:37 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman is back again plowing through another KITM cold bedraggled, and as all of us, undermedicated for the task at hand. David was out with this cold on Friday, and I wrote a summary to an imaginary KITM. The summary to that summary: Tech bros created…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 11, 2024

    Nov 11, 2024, 5:21 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman, brought to you by Cold-EEZE®, brings us a Monday KITM. How have we failed? Here, let Greg Dworkin count the ways. Turns out that we were all kinds of stupid until a few days ago, but far too dumb for it to dawn on us until now. We were…
  • Kagro in the Morning "Encore Presentation" - November 8, 2023, airing November 8, 2024

    Nov 8, 2024, 12:04 pm By David Waldman
    Not a great time to be stricken by a nasty cold, but that’s among the many unfortunate turns we’ve been dealt this week!   But we haven’t been carted away in irons just yet. We’ll be back on Monday. But until then, it’s another time-travel episode.…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 7, 2024

    Nov 7, 2024, 3:03 pm By David Waldman
    Let’s see… We lost Tester and Brown. We kept Greene and Boebert. And soon both Biden and Trump will be spending more time brushing up on their golf. Why does it feel like the math isn’t right? David Waldman and Greg Dworkin try to help cypher it…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 6, 2024

    Nov 6, 2024, 4:34 pm By David Waldman
    The good news is that we won’t be reading all the Post and Times articles telling us it’s time to reach out to MAGA, across the aisle to Gops, pardon Trump to unite the country, etc. Otherwise, you know, it sucks. Our bubble was fun and all while…

    Nov 5, 2024, 3:34 pm By David Waldman
    Want to relax, and escape the stresses of today? Take some time out with KITM and listen to David Waldman talk about politics for a couple of hours! (Sort of a “hair of the dog” solution.) If 2 hours aren’t enough, check out our archives! (Probably…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 4, 2024

    Nov 4, 2024, 3:32 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are on the air today with a new KITM, instead of quietly slipping across the border, a development that can only be interpreted to portend positively. Have you heard? Pollsters actually receive paychecks for what they do! Now,…
  • Kagro in the Morning - November 1, 2024

    Nov 1, 2024, 3:16 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman counts down the days until Thanksgiving and Christmas… both due in about 4 days if all goes well… Gops cut the money to monitor elections, making it much easier for MAGA to create problems. Trump’s Supreme Court skips Congress, the…

    Oct 31, 2024, 3:10 pm By David Waldman
    Happy Halloween! Even David “Wooooo” Waldman and Greg “Disquieting” Dworkin can’t scare us any more than we already are. For Halloween, Donald Trump appeared in Wisconsin sporting his unwiped butthole face accessorized by a reflective…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 30, 2024

    Oct 30, 2024, 12:16 pm By David Waldman
    We’re under a week to go! Well, under a week until we transition into Trump’s post-election chaos plans. We’re also on Day 3 of fallout from the Madison Square Garden debacle. So it was high time that the Gop attempt to manufacture some…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 29, 2024

    Oct 29, 2024, 2:34 pm By David Waldman
    It’s Tuesday, the day David Waldman reserves to discuss the latest happenings with KITM’s leading political expert, himself. Hey, have you heard the latest jokes from Donald Trump’s New York rally? They’re being told and retold across the US. Some…

    Oct 28, 2024, 3:50 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman counts down the days until it all ends. Hopefully not everything... but hopefully most things. Meanwhile, Greg Dworkin counts how many items he can place onto the KITM story conveyor belt before his hour is up. Sunday’s MAGANAZI rally in New…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 25, 2024

    Oct 25, 2024, 3:01 pm By David Waldman
    Ah, Friday! What a great way to kick off the weekend. Even one we know will likely be kind of stressful! But longtime friend-of-the-show Ian Reifowitz has an abundance of (appropriately tempered) optimism to share with you! Starting with early voting…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 24, 2024

    Oct 24, 2024, 3:09 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman brings us the Thursday KITM which is still mostly preoccupied with election news, even though it’s, like weeks away. Greg Dworkin warns us to not pay much attention to or rely on polls at this point… So, let’s talk polls!  Generally,…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 23, 2024

    Oct 23, 2024, 3:47 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman and Greg Dworkin capture the latest insanity in a bottle and pour it directly into your ears. 13 days until election day, although at least 18 million of us would be ok with it being today. Judges, DAs, sheriffs, lawmakers, ballot measures, AGs,…

    Oct 22, 2024, 2:19 pm By David Waldman
    Listening to David Waldman and today’s KITM is part of your civic duty, but only part. Now is the time to phone bank, or door knock. Enjoy the foliage, listen to us on your buds. Donald Trump mocked minimum wage earners while cosplaying one at a Potemkin…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 21, 2024

    3:38pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman will be presenting only a dozen more KITMs before the election, and this here is one of them! Arnold Palmer is world renowned, and universally admired for a myriad of accomplishments and attributes.  So, you can guess which Donald Trump would…

    Oct 18, 2024, 3:54 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman remains our source for political and cultural analysis and is almost certainly not AI generated. AI bots, as expected, prefer Donald Trump and Gops. Once we create reply-bots, all social media will be just bots arguing with each other, then we…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 17, 2024

    Oct 17, 2024, 3:05 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman brings us a Thursday KITM without Greg Dworkin, who’s still on assignment covering ongoing Canadian Thanksgiving celebrations, most likely. Kamala Harris paid her dues on Fox News yesterday, where today they’re calling her everything they can…

    Oct 16, 2024, 3:36 pm By David Waldman
    On today’s KITM, David Waldman helps Greg Dworkin haul in his huge Raft O’ Stories™, along with a big boatload of helpful polls. All the polls add up to one conclusion… The polling business must pay well. Using polls to make predictions however is…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 15, 2024

    Oct 15, 2024, 2:53 pm By David Waldman
    Today, David Waldman weaves us a cuddly fall KITM. At Donald Trump’s Philadelphia town hall, Trump ceased taking questions, retreated to a corner of the stage, then swayed and waved his arms about for around 40 minutes. Campaign staff rushed to…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 14, 2024

    Oct 14, 2024, 3:05 pm By David Waldman
    David Waldman is back, atoned, rested and ready to take on another big news week with us. Greg Dworkin tells us to take a deep breath as the horses enter the back stretch, as the smell will only get worse from now on. Experts do agree, the presidential race…

    Oct 11, 2024, 2:45 pm By David Waldman
    Did you see the Northern Lights? David Waldman didn’t. Neither did I, and I am further north. Oh well, perhaps some another night.  As with Donald Trump’s farts, there’ll always be a chance to experience another soon. Maybe that won’t sound as…
  • Kagro in the Morning - October 10, 2024

    Oct 10, 2024, 3:22 pm By David Waldman
    Hungry for news? David Waldman serves up the latest, KITM style. Big “They” are at it again, running their weather machine amok in the south, shutting off the power to millions of KITM fans, forcing Donald Trump into reluctantly lying about absolutely…
