Okay, campers, rise and shine — and don't forget your booties 'cause it's coooooold out there today! Wait, it’s not so bad this year… Maybe that’s a symbol we’re turning a corner, a new Spring of understanding, empathy, a blossoming of… Or, global warming. Either way, you know David Waldman and KITM will always return. When the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, staff tried the “That locked door behind the dresser? Oh, that’s nothing.” gambit, and it worked. That was some Obi Wan move by Trump valet Walt

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin start the month off right, or more or less “left”, which is a pretty good place to start. Our top news story for today: Taylor Swift, or as I call her, “Tay-Tay”, because of her Japan-Nevada Superbowl body double... It is tough coming up with better/worse conspiracies than the ones MAGA have. Those folks would be pretty hilarious if some of them weren’t killing people. Not only with beheadings either, but drownings have been becoming popular recently. As long as he can

It’s Wednesday! Not a post-primary Wednesday, but aren’t they all post-primary Wednesdays from now on? Not if Greg Dworkin has anything to say about it, and he has a lot to say about it to David Waldman on today’s KITM. First — MAGA goes full incel by Taylor Swift-boating the Superbowl, the Music Industry, Americana, love and all that is good in the world. Many great men, tears in their eyes, reassured Donald that he’s at least twice as F’-able as Taylor. But I digress. Back

I know we don’t really care about Lauren Boebert very much, but it’s funny that she moved from the 3rd district to the 4th district, and came in 5th. And this despite having some other, equally f*@k3d-up Republicans as her opponents. On the 14th Amendment front, former MT Gov. and RNC Chair Marc Racicot argues for disqualification. Meanwhile, the guy who would be disqualified is outraged that the court trying him for fraud was worried that he might still be committing fraud, and was of course

Well, apparently there was no news this weekend other than Taylor Swift and the football guy. But Greg Dworkin was convinced that other things happened. Oh, here’s some news: Trump is terrible. I mean, just the worst. Only slightly worse than his supporters, of course. Speaking of those terrible people, they are — with no sense of irony — headed to the border in their own caravan of chaos. Meanwhile in Washington, Gop officialdom won’t take yes for an answer. Of course, if the courts say it, they

Today, David Waldman reveals one weird trick that will shock you, or he will read and comment on the news. Find out which on this Friday KITM! California Assembly Bill 83 is titled “Political Reform Act of 1974: contributions and expenditures by foreign-influenced business entities”, but might be better known as the “Money Out, Voters In!” bill, designed to defend democracy by closing the Citizens United loophole allowing foreign money to flood elections. Representative Jamie Raskin likes it, you

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin deliver us to the weekend! Almost! Give us another day or two, we’ll get there! Speed demon Donald Trump kicked into high gear lately when posting about E. Jean Carroll, then Nikkki Haley. Who knows what his next sleepless night might bring? Sure, we would all want Haley to stay in the Gop primary. Donald Trump might blow a blood vessel on live TV, and Nikkki is happy to remind the whole lot of them of their recent shrinkage. Alas, we don’t pay her bills. On the other

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin returned to this morning’s KITM with the very latest in news and punditry. So, if you had that in the office pool, congratulations. Another primary down, (ok, the last one was a caucus) another set of losers. Ok, they’re all losers, but who’s the biggest loser this time? Some say Nikkki Haley blew it. Some say that, allowing for her lower vote total, Haley did just fine. Donald Trump begs to differ. Sure, Donald Trump can be a pretty poor loser, but he really is a

It’s Tuesday! Time for David Waldman to welcome Joan McCarter to talk of many things… but first the upcoming Gop primary, as tomorrow it’ll be outgoing and what’s the fun in that? With Ron DeSantis out, where does the coveted incel gamergate vote go? Now it’s become a pulse-stopping two-person race! (But only if Donald Trump’s pulse stops.) It’s bold outsider Nikkki Haley Hare vs. the steady reliability of Tortoise Donald Trump... A Trump vs. Haley debate will require subtitles, though. Pedophile

Monday, David Waldman, Greg Dworkin and KITM. Here we go again! Oh, so close! Ron DeSantis called off his presidential run in second place! What did he do wrong? Was there anything that Ron did right? In his campaign DeSantis was a cruel, stupid, egotistical authoritarian to a fault, so everyone knew his heart was in the right place, MAGA-wise. His body count was second only to the Donald’s. It’s just that with prime Trump still on the menu, who needs a meatball sub? Well, it’s up to Nikkki Haley

It’s Friday, so David Waldman packs 5 days of punditry into our two hour sack: Senate passed a short-term spending bill, Congress cleared it, by suspending the rules. Thanks goes to Democrats without whom nothing could be possible. Ecuador is letting go of its pesky democracy in order to take on the threat of the drug gangs that they had packed into leaky prisons following neighboring El Salvador letting go of its pesky democracy in order to take on the threat of the drug gangs that they had packed

We are LIVE! We salute Justice Putnam, host of the West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy, following this show on Netroots Radio, for climbing the internet pole out back and plugging us back in, or whatever he did. David Waldman’s and Greg Dworkin’s wisdom can again be enjoyed milliseconds after it occurs to them. Lovable jerks! A popular trope in fiction that has a hard time translating into real life as real jerks aren’t really lovable. The completely fictional protagonist of the television program The

Quit tapping your app, David Waldman was not streaming “live” today. He is “here”, though, and as yesterday recording so that you only need to defer your punditry gratification for a short while. Now that Greg Dworkin is here also, we have to talk about the Iowa Caucus again, but only for a moment as the Gop primary quickly moves on to dumber things. Sentimental favorite Ron DeSantis got second, yet you got to hope that cute little cuss survives for a few more states. The big news is that 30% of Gop

Hey, what in the Eastern Orthodox Boxing Day is this? Turns out it was nothing, just something in the intertubes that froze up, so no “live” show. However, David Waldman, cozily ensconced in KITM World Headquarters close to the warm friendly crackle of his kitchen microwave, remained undeterred and pressed on… that is, the “on” button for the recorder: Yes, there was that thing in Iowa. Ron DeSantis lost badly, Nikkki Haley lost worse, and Donald Trump didn’t even win well. When TFFG wins, it just

It’s Monday and David Waldman leads this morning’s charge with Operation “Kagro Morning”. The underinformed won’t know what hit them. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is another holiday that is celebrated through somber reflection, which I guess most of them are supposed to be, with the possible exception of National Nothing Day tomorrow. Greg Dworkin reminds us that if it wasn’t for Connecticut hospitality Dr. King’s dream might not be as inspired. Casaba-headed reactionary Charlie Kirk was recently

Can you believe it? It’s David Waldman, KITM, and Friday, once again. Circumstances are again forcing us to learn about some other country and some other group of people... And as usual, those circumstances involve us dropping bombs on that country and those people. Today, we leaf to the back of our atlas in order to find the country of Yemen, somewhat the home of the Houthis, the latest folks in the Middle East to piss us off. Not that they don’t deserve the back of Uncle Sam’s hand, you know. Once

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin will be allowed to speak on their own behalf today. Annnd they’re rounding the bend! It’s Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, neck and neck heading into Iowa! Now that Chris Christie is out, that race is up for grabs! Gops finely tuned to every nuanced policy detail and scrupulously balancing every gradated point reached their somber conclusions, and it looks like it’s Nikki’s to lose! (Although Donald Trump does maintain a slim lead.) Baby Jesus could personally smite

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin return for a LIVE Wednesday KITM. We’re all getting the hang of it this year! How embarrassing is it to be a Republican? Hunter Biden played with them this morning until it just became boring and sad. Soon, each House Gop will have been Speaker, as each previous member Leeeeeroy Jenkins into the maw of another spending deal talk. As Ace KITM Correspondent Rosalyn MacGregor has often told us, Republican antics in Michigan would embarrass any stooge. In Florida it’s

David Waldman is back, just like Tuesday! You can always rely on those two. President Joe Biden reminds us that Donald Trump is the losingest loser whoever lost, followed exclusively by Lost Cause losers who love losers and losing. Trump is busy losing court cases this week. Judicial Estoppel, John Stossel, Collateral Estoppel… There’s nothing Donald Trump won’t do or say to escape the law. Dick Nixon rolled over in his grave faster than usual today as Trump tried to get a DC court to buy his

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin woke up bright and early to bring us our first Monday KITM of the year! They stayed awake too! Joe Biden delivered a stemwinder-barnburner of a speech centered on January 6, and not just for people who use “stemwinder” or “barnburner” to describe speeches. The events of January 6 are burned into the minds of millions of Americans, though yet to light a single candle in Donald Trump’s dim consciousness. Nonetheless, minions, lackies, and cult members have all been
