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, or even Uber drivers. Try some today! While you’re doing that, do something else! There’s plenty to be done and you’re the one to do it. You have to do it, no one else is going to do it, they are too busy doing their part. Don’t make us tariff you

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 hours, all around the world, we still had to wait until 9:30 for The Old Man’s version of “the market” to open. But we knew it was gonna be bad. For everyone and everything (except Russia). How could it have been otherwise? Still, there are always those

Today let’s join David Waldman in bidding adieu to yesterday’s co-host Charlie Kirk. We at KITM wish him well in his future endeavors. Greg Dworkin, who is 100% available on Blue Sky, felt possessed to post his analysis of where we are, post yesterday’s events, on the execrable X... At least he didn’t dock his Raft O’ Stories ™ over at the Tesla dealership. When will Democrats say or do enough to counter Donald K. Trump? Yesterday, and for more than 25 hours previously, Senator Cory Booker said

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 plan for handling whatever Trump brings on, Americans, well, not so much. The Trump administration is warning companies throughout Europe to cut out their DEI, CRT... whatever they call it in their counties, or else. America paid El Salvador just to take

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back for yet another week of KITM! How do they do it, what is their secret? No one knows! We begin the week with the White House embroiled in scandal. Which scandal? All of them! There’s SignalGate, the main culprit of which has been finally determined to be JD Vance, or the news media, or an unspecified Democrat yet to be announced. JD Vance is also guilty of blowing the art of the deal in Greenland. Like Canada, Greenland has a lot to offer in both material and

David Waldman delivers us to the end of the month, and yes, the end of the week. KITM’s superpower is to not work on weekends. You don’t see Donald K. Trump work weekends, or weekdays. It’s too much work for him to remember what he said yesterday. Elon Musk is the go-getter, destroying civilization, trolling billions, uploading federal grants with one hand and downloading IVF deposits with the other. Or perhaps the “real power” behind the autocoup is the “husband” and “wife” team of Stephen and

David Waldman gives us a few more things to think about, laugh about, get kind of grumpy about, on today’s KITM. Guess what? Dr. Greg Dworkin says America’s got a fever! And the only prescription... is more F-bombs! Covid “alarmists” were closer to the truth than anyone else. (IMO, “alarmist” has been pretty much the way to go for around a decade.) DOGE douches unplugged our healthcare ventilator and were surprised after the heart wouldn’t reboot. Oops! Ebola prevention was shut off… There! Fixed,

Right pukka, innit? Another KITM today featuring the brilliant púcaí doodlebugging of David Waldman and Greg Dworkin! The Gop big beautiful awful bill passed the House last night. Clever and feisty Dems were clever and feisty but not quite successful... yet played a great game. Should Democrats strategize and triangulate and stick up for minorities while appealing to the majority? Yes! Or… they could just pick out some principles and hills to die on and take those damn hills or find themselves

David Waldman counts down the days until our national apocalypse, yet with so many tied down the backstretch, this race is a tough call! For supposed “auditors”, nothing about DOGE adds up. Monday, Elon gave federal workers until three to… Uhm, today Elon gave federal workers until three to… Tomorrow, Elon will give federal workers until three to… Trump could barely get a semi-fired up today, as his EO has ED. Musk was able to cut 20 DOGE staff today who couldn’t look themselves in the

To no one’s surprise, the excuses the Trump White House is issuing for Elon Musk’s attacks on USAID are not true. Eleven of the 12 offered are just flat lies or inaccurate. The twelfth is just dumb. Meanwhile, Trump continues to insist on the dumbest possible reading of everything, including his claim that USAID subsidized Politico. Which, duh. Although maybe Politico thought they could get subsidized by the Trump “administration” if they licked his boots enough. Nope! Not only that, but Trump now

Gluttons for punishment or eternal optimists? David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back, and so are you! Be on the lookout! Someone has stolen 100,000 eggs, and the suspect is still at large... grade A, extra-large! Alas, there are worse cartoon supervillains on the loose. Elon Musk is attacking his enemies, USAID and USA, while his chief henchman Trump finally breaks the Senate, orders America to check the undies of 9-year-olds, weaponizes government against the first female Coast Guard commandant,

There is nothing wrong with your media device. Do not attempt to adjust the sound. We are controlling transmission... Well, we were for a while. On Libsyn and Patreon versions of today’s KITM David Waldman might have recorded a sign off, on others though, if you aren’t hearing anything after 1:42:18, that is not a very dramatic pause, you’re just out of podcast until Monday morning. Anyhow, are you feeling shocked and awed? That was definitely the intent in Trump’s freezing of federal loans and

David Waldman, Greg Dworkin and we are under the cloud of a domestic commercial airline disaster, just a few days after Trump/Elon fixed it. ON BLUE SKY, experts have predicted something like this for a while in the area. President Why Don’t They Just demanded to know why didn’t they just avoid colliding up there, then realized that black and gay people might be involved, then remembered that Obama and Buttigieg actually were involved. Whew! Disaster averted! Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy

the weekend yesterday…David was just checking to see if you had a calendar! Remember, always ask to see the paperwork! Because today is not Saturday, Greg Dworkin showed up to review the breathtaking amount of FA occurring, with the inevitable FO upcoming. Just because Trump “can’t” impound doesn’t mean he can’t “impound” … or maybe he can’t! That right wing circle jerk might have got the water hose after all. (Follow Aaron Fritschner on Blue Sky, damn it) Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester pointed to the

Two-fisted drinker of breakfast beverages, David Waldman tells it like it is this Tuesday. WAR! Trumpskrieg is in full force, finding the calvaries of MGs Schumer and Jeffries still tamping down their muskets. Of course, reporters aren’t used to the news being so damn “new” either. MAGA forces have already scored massive, albeit imaginary victories in Colombia, California and assorted elementary schools. If Canada and Mexico get tired of Trump, they can just hit the BRICS. The White House

It’s Infrastructure Week! The second week of razing civilization while laying a foundation of chaos, disinformation, and fear. I guess our job, with the help of David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, is to chip some away as Gops and MAGAs lay it down. Tariffs are a bad idea. Does anyone know why… Anyone? Well, everyone knows, but threatening tariffs gets airplay. So does loading up a military plane with shackled immigrants. If the news plays them both as clips hundreds of times each day it will shortly

David Waldman is here with the Friday KITM, and also somewhere else entirely, all through the magic of “technology”… And, now for our discussion of “cryptocurrency”: How big a scam is cryptocurrency? It is so big that Eric Trump promises that his dad will become the most procrypto president in the history of America. Crypto, in fact could be the ultimate pyramid scheme, as it’s multilevel marketing with no levels, just a big pile of cash going to first person who grabs it when the other suckers’

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 Constitution, precedence, whatever, to disenfranchise voters. Donald Trump relentlessly lies, cynically grifts, maniacally rants, and viciously threatens... Every. Single. Day. Donald Trump wants you to accept this as normal. And we are… at least half of us,

David Waldman counts down the days until… until the election, I guess. Liberal Thinking (‘m not sure what his friends call him, but I suspect there are some who call him “Lib”) tells us about the factors in Donald Trump’s “sentencing”. Remember that debate that Donald Trump thought he was going to at Fox on September 4? Donald didn’t find that debate, and the people who tuned in didn’t find a town hall either. The New York Times thought that they attended a discussion on economics, and for some

It’s Friday, so David Waldman brings us the up-to-date and up-to-the-weekend news. Two of the national pastimes of Russia, playing chess and poisoning each other, clashed at a regional chess tournament. Apparently, there were no open windows nearby. Donald Trump… remember him? Yesterday, he held a MAJOR press conference to set the record straight on his crowd sizes. Bigger than Kamala’s! Bigger than Martin Luther King’s! Same real estate, same everything! Nobody's spoken to crowds bigger
