We’ve been busy since Tuesday parsing the polls and combing over the data, but now it’s time to groove on the vibes of the election. And basically, it’s this: Everybody is sick of these wackadoodle idiots. (So sick, in fact, that even where there are elected seats all but reserved for Republicans, they still can’t win them.) The wackadoodle idiots, of course, have learned nothing whatsoever, though their consultants think they have. But those guys are just egghead coastal elites! So, let’s stay

It’s Thursday on KITM, and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin aren’t even the least bit sick of winning. Democrats are still tallying up their wins from Tuesday, right down to the small towns, local elections and school board races. It is, however, hard to separate the Dem’s big wins from the Gop’s devastating losses. Republicans are reaping a horrible ROI on their culture war. Glenn Youngkin now has a warehouse full of red fleece vests that he doesn’t know what to do with. (He might be able to unload

The collective sigh of relief here at KITM World Headquarters probably delayed our first local snowfall by weeks. Host David Waldman and Guest Star Greg Dworkin are here today to do whatever the opposite is of “fret” … (We might not have a word for that.) We won. That is, we the people of the United States who care about democracy and what not. Dems romped, Gops flopped, pretty much everywhere, notably in Ohio, as voters knew Republican gaslighting by heart after seeing it being used to failure in

If you listen to this show, or read these summaries, you want to vote today. You don’t need David Waldman and Joan McCarter to explain why. (We’d be happy to, though. We kind of live for this stuff.) You don’t want Republicans to take over, or for the United States to become the next Israel, do you? The present bunch of Gops are already bad enough. The government continues to teeter on the edge of their fiscal cliff while MAGA Mike’s funding ladder to nowhere hangs out over the abyss. Perhaps the

ELECTION DAY! ...Is tomorrow. It is, however, the day that we will be talking about today, and tomorrow, and at least for a year to come. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin can barely talk about today, because tomorrow is just all that. Tomorrow is all that important, and yet a poll has got everyone’s mind on the next election. Yes, Joe Biden is in trouble, and yet Joe Biden knows what he’s doing,,, BUT! What can Biden do? Tomorrow’s election hasn’t even happened, but those pundits sure know doom when

David Waldman hopes to beat the rush and start saving daylight later this afternoon, but first made sure to get today’s KITM out on time. It’s simple. Mike Johnson is a moral Christian. And if you aren’t Christian, you aren’t moral, and you just wouldn’t “get” what he and supporters need to get done in the United States. Mike’s covenant wife Kelly can counsel you on the five ways that you are naturally inferior while work is being done to codify your status. Kelly could professor at Trump

David Waldman wishes us a soulful All Souls Day, also known as… erm, Eastern Orthodox “Saturday of Souls”… Greg Dworkin has no holiday plans other than hanging out with us this morning. Not that there’s nothing to celebrate. Unions are back in a big way with the U.A.W. scoring huge wins for regular workers and a huge defeat for faux-populist demagogues. The House finds it isn’t so easy to scrape George Santos off their shoe, and they’re stuck with Miss Congeniality, Marjorie Traitor Green as well

First of the month, middle of the week, and David Waldman is here to explain how that happened, and more! Greg Dworkin flipped over his calendar page and noticed that election day is next week. The prognostication out there is foggier than usual, but it looks as if Democrats are doing well. Dems have two big governor races in Trump states, tough but doable. Kyrsten Sinema is at a distant third, but at least she seems to be taking Kari Lake votes. Democrats want to see Joe Biden give ‘em hell

Horrors! David Will-o'-the-Wisp Waldman, dressed as “MAGA Mike” and Joan Macabre McCarter as a “Looming Government Shutdown”, scare the bejeebers out of us for two hours. Mike Johnson is going full MAGA on Democrats, but also Senate Republicans and Ukraine with his Israel funding bill. After picking up a Bible, Mike realized the ONE THING that has caused all of the evil and suffering in the world and… could it be… Satan? Nope, it’s actually all due to women who won’t listen to their husbands… or

Boo! David “Cobweb” Waldman and Greg “Disconcerting” Dworkin treat us with a Halloween Eve KITM Special. Be safe! How hard can it be? Want to talk scary? Let’s talk Mike Johnson. The thing is, nothing scares Mike Johnson. Ask Johnson any question you want, and between the Lord and the law, Mike can find the answer he needs and make it fit. Ken Buck likes Mike’s law answers, Mike’s mom and WaPo like his Lord answers. How long will MAGA and Republicans like Johnson’s answers? Who knows, but don’t

Today David Waldman serves up your KITM Friday Special, fresh out of our news fryolator. Mike Johnson might not be the “unity candidate” most would have come up with, but considering his dogmatism, election denialism, misogynism, authoritarianism, provincialism, fanaticism and mass shooter boosterism, Mike maintains a comprehensive appreciation of Republicanism. Some of Mike’s best friends might not be Black, but his son, who was born less than 10 years after his wife, is. Mike sends his hopes and

Here we go again. Let’s join David Waldman, Greg Dworkin and the whole KITM gang under a cloud of another mass shooting. 18 dead so far, as the shooter is still a well-regulated militia out there somewhere. Dude seems to have plenty of personal demons. Some were handed to him, most he hooked up with on his own. Tucker Carlson has been looking for him for years, but may have missed his chance for an interview. David held his first in a series of debates with wannabe podcasting kingpin Mike Johnson

The Wednesday KITM can’t come soon enough today. Coast to Coast, people are demanding to know, “Who is Tom Emmer?” and “Does Tom have what it takes to pull this nation out of...” Wait… Wait. The KITM control room is contacting me to say… David Waldman and Greg Dworkin will now address the turmoil that Democrats have caused through their insensitive attitudes for their brother’s and sister’s plight... For now, the Republican House Speaker nominee will be held by a generic MAGA placeholder who they

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin present Monday’s KITM, free of any beat sweeteners, containing only their naturally occurring sugars. Jim Jordan reminds some people of a wrestler. The kind of wrestler who looked the other way when fellow wrestlers were victimized. The kind of wrestler who insurrected against the United States in 2020. But not the kind of wrestler that anyone would elect as Speaker of the House. Ruptured rudderless Republicans sure could use a leader, or even some followers right

Is there a doctor Speaker in the House? Nope! Not yet. And it doesn’t look like they want to let the Acting Jerk Pro Tem take care of business for them, either. There’s certainly less appetite for Gym Jordan than ever before, too. Maybe because his people are deplorable. Meanwhile, The Current Guy was taking care of business, with what was by most reports a real humdinger of an Oval Office address. That’s no malarkey! But that’s not to say there isn’t any malarkey to be found. As we heard yesterday,

Don’t be concerned, the Virginia/DC area is still standing this morning. That was just David Waldman and Greg Dworkin’s “Hey, Where Did the Last Half Hour Go?” KITM Special’s special ending. That missing show segment would have gotten more done than DC at the moment. The only ones who can stand the job ruptured rudderless Republicans are doing are Republicans, and what do they know? Jim Jordan is sent back to the lockers, after losing the House Speaker vote that no one ever believed that he would

Isn’t it time for Jim Jordan to just throw in the towel and hit the showers? Well... not in so many words. But that’s why we have David Waldman and Greg Dworkin. David and Greg do have so many words, which they have deftly laid end to end to create today’s KITM. Sean Hannity insists that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez somehow had the power to frighten Republicans away from voting for Jim Jordan as House Speaker, but maybe the real reason is that moderate Republicans can only squish so far before they

Today on KITM, David Waldman andJoan McCarter count down the days until the government shutdown, which if Jim Jordan gets to be House Speaker will be assured, if we make it that far. Ruptured, rudderless Republicans don’t really want to go with Jordan, but that seems to be the direction that they are heading. (With their hearts and minds in tow, of course.) Gym isn’t the guy Republicans want. He isn’t the guy they need. He might not even be the one they get. But they shouldn’t expect Democrats

David Waldman soothes our post-Friday-the-13th jitters with his elixir of useful information. Greg Dworkin is also here with the pundits and polls, though not just any poles, but Pole polls. Opposition leader Donald Tusk... no, you read that right, Donald Tusk has declared victory in Poland, which is a defeat for Law and Justice, but a victory for the Gay Empire, women, and most everybody else. The Hamas attacks on Israel might finally, finally, finally shake Bibi Netanyahu’s authoritarian rule. OG
