Kagro in the Morning

David Waldman presents today's KITM, sadly under the cloud of yet another mass shooting as part of the ICE shooting spree across the United States. Five people are dead so far, and the killers are still on the loose. There might not be many suspects however, because there really aren't that many ICE. Nonetheless, good luck catching any as they move from town to town.

One day after the fifth anniversary of ...

David Waldman has two hours to tackle the previous 24 hours of news. Can he do it?

Greg Dworkin reports that the administration's mask is slipping, amidst things that are going sideways. Reality remains far from a bipartisan concern, in fact it is officially rejected for Jan 6. CBS devoted an entire segment to Marco Rubio.

To say that Donald K. Trump's attack on Venezuela is illegal and unwise would be an understatement considering...

David Waldman delivers another dispatch from and for the reality-based community. 2026 and still no video on this cast, because we know what you would do with it.

Speaking of reality-based, we are back around to another anniversary of January 6. Keep it in mind, tightly, because they will always try to take that memory away.

It was only a matter of time before Stephen Miller expanded his master race weltanschauung to other countrie...

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin don't need a hastily prepared PVC pipe and black draped tent to deliver the action KITM listeners crave. 

Today's apocalyptic earth-shattering black-swan event is the abduction of the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Nobody is really certain why we did it. Maybe Maduro is involved with Jeffrey Epstein, or the Nobel Prize committee? Maybe he just wanted ...

My mind was rarin' to go again today, but the rest of me wasn't having it. The smart thing to do was to use the Black Hole Week down time to answer a question the last couple of re-runs might have put you in mind of: What the hell did KITM sound like on January 7, 2026?

Well, now you'll know! And if you'd like a preview, here's Scott Anderson's summary of that fateful day… after the actual fateful day.

David...

Time to give the voice a rest, using the convenient excuse of the holiday!

That's right! It's Arbitrary Metric Day, the annual festival celebrated by making dad jokes about writing the wrong dates on things called "checks," whatever they might be.

To mark the occasion and keep some number of you company today, we continue on our Christmas re-run timeline, presenting our January 1, 2021 episode.

Back then, it was a brand...

David Waldman wrings out the old year with Greg Dworkin on today's KITM.

Chuck Schumer will be delivering the most harshly worded letter to 2025 today but vows to take the fight to 2026 and to persevere to the very moment that he doesn't.

Donald K. Trump, who lost his right hand in a botched gender-affirming surgery late in 2024, might have to disclose this and other medical and psychological records in future lawsuits.

It is said ...

Donald K. Trump purported, claimed, fantasized, pulled out of his ass the claim that the US bombed "a building from where the boats leave" in Venezuela. Good enough for the New York Times! And perfect news to break on lunkhead-billionaire John Catsimatidis' radio show on his radio station. John is in Epstein's little black book, so we might actually discover if his face actually goes to his toes.

Donald K....

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin help us through this black hole week of the black hole presidency.

Let's return to the Trump Epstein files. Only an idiot could deny how many might be getting their first taste of justice, if the Justice Department was not fighting against that. Of course, there are still a lot of idiots out there. Julie K. Brown is a journalist targeted in the war against justice.

The New Yo...

Battling an oncoming cold, we—by which I mean me—present our Boxing St. Stephen Day extravaganza!

Despite the cold, I couldn't stay away from our preferred form of social media. And neither could "our president." Two hundred or so unhinged wackadoodle posts for Christmas. And a bombing!

The netroots lost an OG over the holiday, too. Howie Klein, known to us as the proprietor of Down With Tyranny! passed away. Turns out (as if we ...

'twas the day after The Night Before Christmas, and all through the house, nobody really wanted to be responsible for making other people work. So I didn't. Uh... not even a mouse, or whatever.

Today, we'll all take a moment to relax--whether you have reason to or not--and think back to a time when Christmas meant the impending departure of Donald Trump. A simpler time, when we didn't yet know that someone had blown a city block of...

David Waldman takes a short break in his otherwise completely normal day to bring us news of all of the abnormalities of today.

Greg Dworkin comes down the chimney with his Sack o' Stories™, attached to that unfortunate sack of Ex-Twitter ex-crement.

Jeffrey Epstein is the gift that keeps on giving, and on the third day of Epstein, the DOJ gave to thee a myriad mentions of Trump, 8 Lolita Express trips, 3 criminal co-conspirators, ...

David Waldman is making his list and checking it twice, which is what, a 300% increase over this administration?

Donald K. Trump has not yet renamed Christmas because he's still negotiating for the biggest beutifulest cloud. Until then, his goal is to name all contents of this temporal sphere "Trump". That now includes Trump-Class battleships, which are not literal battleships, but littoral combat ships, and yet are probably litera...

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have returned, and already it feels like there's more sunshine today.

There! The DOJ released less than a percent of the Epstein files. Happy now? Apparently, dumping 500 pages with black lines over previously accessible documents and removing photos that even they had released previously fails to meet the spirit of the Epstein Files Transparency Act… Ok, the law of the Epstein Files Transparency Act,...
