David Waldman ends the week, begins the month, concludes business and gets this party started. The Senate passed a spending bill, pushing the shutdown down one week. After all, when Joan McCarter comes to KITM each week, it only makes sense. The Boebert crime family is perhaps outscoring the Palin crime family… the math part would be tough on either set... but Tyler Boebert might soon have MVP locked up in felony convictions. Tyler’s stealing from a woman saving up for brain tumor surgery might not

Happy Bissextile Day! Wave your Bissextile Day flags! Had David Waldman just ran KITM a little overtime for perhaps fewer than only 9 minutes each day we wouldn’t have had to do today’s show, yet here we are. And a good thing, too, we need a whole new show, with Greg Dworkin and Armando on hand just to describe and dissect the Supreme Court’s worst dick move since... well, it probably is their worst dick move ever. “Hey, what about Donald Trump’s other immunity claim?”, you might ask, and so has the

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin’s Wednesday Raft O’ Stories™ must have had some kind of boiler explosion. Bits of news are raining down everywhere: A chemistry teacher in New Mexico passed out swords to students (who no doubt still pronounce the “w” in swords) and had them fight. Probably for the first time in her class, lessons were learned. Donald Trump coughed up almost $400 thousand to the New York Times. Donald is too just rich/poor, and that cough isn’t getting better. For most anyone, the

It’s Tuesday and David Waldman has some stuff to lay on us, KITM-wise. Don Jr. received death threats and a suspicious powder in the mail, but who would guess they’d both be in the same envelope? Elon Musk hasn’t killed many, at least as evil billionaires go, but it’s still pretty early. Hyperloop tunnel chemical sludge, for instance, might take years to make a real impact actuarially. Sure, Clarence Thomas’ shameless avarice and evident corruption is hilarious, but isn’t it also illegal? Of

Unfortunately, there is plenty for David Waldman and Greg Dworkin to talk about today, Fortunately, we get to hear them say it. Today, if you find you’re still having difficulty deciding on whether your trolley would be best routed over 10,000 frozen zygotes or a baby, you just might be a Republican trying to figure out how to hold onto your job, because of course, no actual normal human would have this quandary. No normal people attend CPAC. Nex Benedict’s death following Libs of TikTok rhetoric

In a flash, David Waldman appears, vanishing again two hours later. Where does David come from? Where does he go? Some say… the living room couch. Nevertheless, with each visit Mr. Waldman will present to us a mysterious, yet valuable gift… let’s open it, shall we? James Comer and Jim Jordan may seem like idiots now, and they are, but they are smart enough to know that Democrats will let them and Russia Russia Russia get away with it yet again, because as they and Putin are well aware, most of us

It’s Thursday and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back, with not just one, but two topics for today! James Comer and Jim Jordan are having a tough time impeaching Joe Biden, as the President committed no impeachable offenses, convincing anyone that he did would require someone to lie convincingly, and James and Jim remain quite the dunces. Somehow those two seem positively perspicacious compared to TV’s Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. Certainly, they are all Putin’s useful idiots, but at what

Hope you like the nitty-gritty. Today on KITM, David Waldman welcomes Greg Dworkin and Armando to really dig into it: Boom goes Burisma! Joe’s brother James Biden arrived in Washington today to laugh in Gop faces as their most corroborating star witness Alexander Yakov Smirnov was indicted by the DOJ and described by the FBI as a serial liar, and has been revealed to have had extensive contact with Russian, Russian, Russian agents. Republicans assure us that outside of all the evidence that they

David Waldman marks the 20th day since, well, since February started, on today’s special KITM. Here we are, counting down the days until another government shutdown. Would Republicans know one was coming if we didn’t keep track? Would anyone notice if they just shut down the Republican half? The Republican National Committee is following in the clown shoes of the Michigan Republican Party, except even Trumpier. In fact, the goal is to make it 100% Trump. We are all victims of Trump’s fraud. It’s

There goes the neighborhood! Explosions get ever closer to KITM World Headquarters, yet David Waldman is undeterred, debuting Kagro’s Poetry Korner on KITM. Today’s KPK recounts Solomon Grundy and Baseball's Sad Lexicon, the latter in wistful homage to Wisconsin Democratic Govenor Tony Evers’ decision to sign new legislative maps, ending years of Gop gerrymandering, assisted by the Gop legislature who wanted to avoid Democratic gerrymandering... which is certainly one way to achieve fair elections

For the price of a cup of coffee… or just send him coffee, and David Waldman will deliver an endless (2 hours) supply of entertainment and information. In Putin’s Russia, you don’t assassinate president, president assassinate you! Unfortunately for Alexei Navalny, he never qualified for the 5th floor window express favored by many high-ranking Russian officials and oligarchs. Alexi’s passing steals Tucker Carlson’s opportunity to interview Navalny to make certain that he got both sides of the

It’s Thursday and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are here asking questions that you didn’t know you had, with answers that you didn’t know you needed. But now you do! We remain under a cloud of mass shootings. The Kansas City Super Bowl Parade shooting took place on the 6th anniversary of the Parkland shooting. And it took place on the 16th anniversary of the Northern Illinois University shooting. And 2 days ago, was the anniversary of the Michigan State shooting. And next Monday will be 12 years

It’s Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day! If you thought those holidays would keep David Waldman and Greg Dworkin from the KITM microphone you’d be mistaken. Anyhow, Soros has body doubles stored for just such an emergency. Well, wasn’t that special? Tom Suozzi flips George Santos' district back to blue. The polls were wrong again, but in the right direction, therefore pollsters may be lauded for their wisdom, and so may Democrats, which is even better. The only things certain for Donald Trump are

David Waldman presents a special Mardi Gras KITM! Find the fève, win a prize! Jesus Christ! Super Bowl! Hobby Lobby’s MAGA million mind control! Robert Hur went Comey on Joe Biden last week and the staff over at the NYT haven’t stopped drooling since. Hur is now a MAGA hero, and MAGA is Hur’s cash cow. Facts, conjecture, lies, they’re all cash in Bob’s pocket and blood in the water for “journalists”. Donald Trump is so happy that last week went so well, he’ll hardly notice the $83.3 million bill

It was a big weekend! There was a big football game (and a cultural history of the league), which Joe Biden somehow won, plus just a hint at the collapse of the post-war global order! And I mean, like, the whole thing. That was a lot for Greg Dworkin to round up, but it wasn’t all about the weekend. There’s a very special special election coming too, for the seat briefly occupied by George Santos. Or whatever his name was. There was, of course, more fallout over the Hur report. Or whatever you’d

David Waldman fortifies us for our weekend with an extra dose of vitamin KITM: Yesterday was a good day for Donald Trump, and if it was a good day for anyone else, that would be purely unintentional. TV cameras on SCOTUS would’ve revealed the Justices rolling up their Candy Crush scores as lawyers for whomever said whatever. After consideration and debate they will, of course, rule for state’s rights, or not, whatever. Last year Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled against distribution of the abortion pill

It’s all falling apart for Republicans. They might even be in disarray! But since their voters don’t appear to want anything done, we’re not sure yet whether they’ll get away with it. They may fare worse among Republican Senators than they do with the voters. Those guys just seem to want chaos, and always have, just like Greg Dworkin says. To no one’s surprise, the bluff was called and the “border bill” tanked. There’s just not much about the immigration situation that stands up to scrutiny, even

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin haul in Wednesday’s raft o’stories almost overladen with wacky. First, the thing driving Republicans crazy this morning and for the foreseeable future, besides Taylor Swift, is that gnawing realization that they might not be the smartest people... or even the “smart” people in the room. On Donald Trump’s orders, Gops shot themselves in the foot on immigration, making their one strength their biggest weakness. Their Mayorkas impeachment vote was hilarious. MAGA Mike and

It’s Tuesday, so it’s David Waldman and Joan McCarter put a good half hour into figuring out Republican strategy this year, which is about double what the Gops have done, and they regret even doing that much. Their problem is that they got what they demanded, so now they have no choice but to reject it. Mitch McConnell killed the bipartisan border bill 3 hours after supporting it. Mike Johnson backstabbed the Senate so he could kill it. Dick Durbin cannot do wrong, so Dems cannot do right. Now that

Yes, for maybe a decade now we at KITM have been kind of obsessed. Our entire focus is, it would seem, one name, over and over. You’d think that name was the only one we know... but not today. Last night, Tracy Chapman made the ‘80’s great again. And Céline Dion. And, OK, we should mention Taylor Swift once more. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin try to make it feel like a normal Monday. Oh, and another guy we talk about, Donald Trump, is ahead in the polls… But what does that really mean anyway
