As things continue to fall apart, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are here to put it all together.

Pam Bondi, She-Wolf of the DOJ, went attack-dog as expected at her DOJ oversight hearing yesterday. Her mission of gaslighting, lying, intimidating, and blowing it all up was certainly accomplished, but… Newsmax… and no doubt Donald K. Trump believe that she didn't do enough. And after all the spying she did for him too!

Miss Joe Biden yet? Of course you do, but so does everybody else, once they get to know Trump. Even Donald's recent score of the coveted "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal" award probably won't sway them back.

There might still be midterm elections. The Trump administration wants your state's voter registration lists. Don't ask why, it is embarrassing for everyone to hear them try to explain. Hopefully, Democrats are taking notes.

Who, other than Chris Christie, would think that it would be a political plus to threaten to shut down a bridge they didn't even own?

The White House fired the guy who replaced John A. Sarcone III after 5 hours. Jeanine Pirro might have another dance photographer-lawyer she can offer.

We have known for a long, long time that ICE thuggery would be a bad thing. Now it is up to us, and them, to make it stop.

Ok, who decided to give stormtroopers ray guns? El Paso's airspace was closed and almost closed for 10 days when the Border Patrol shot lasers at a birthday balloon.

David Waldman delivers another KITM under the cloud™ of a mass shooting... a Canadian cloud, but as gloomy and awful as the ones we produce.

Greg Dworkin popped in, but soon buckled under an ice onslaught, or at least his internet did. The other, more toxic ICE Is spreading across the US, along with their concentration camps. They are thugs and pansies.

The FAA closed the airspace over El Paso for 10 days, ok, maybe not, nothing to see here, move along.

Howard Lutnick confused Epstein Island with 6 Flags. Bipartisan nausea over the Trump-Epstein files has the mop & bleach crews working overtime, except for Karoline Leavitt, who only wants fun questions from now on. Peter Thiel wasn't there for the girls.

The House has voted to take whacks at Trump's tariffs as if they were a piñata. Tariffs remain one of the best methods of tracking Donald K. Trump's dementia. Trump says it's time for traffic problems on the Gordie Howe Bridge, while tariffing the imaginary prime minister of Switzerland's attitude.

None of the 6 Democrats who Trump ordered killed have been executed. In fact, none of them have been indicted.

Oklahoma's State House District 35 Special Election flipped Dem… by 75 points. Trump's job approval is so low that Gallup has given up trying to even measure it.

Georgia ballot inquiry originated with an election denier who of course became an election integrity officer. Roger Stone returns for 2026.

David Waldman wouldn't miss a KITM even for a lunch date with Stanley Tucci and the US women's hockey team, probably. That's how important you are to him!

Everyone from Thomas Massie to Jamie Raskin figure that at least a half-dozen men are being protected in Epstein files. Ya think? It's driving some Democrats to vulgarity! It's driving MAGA to bellow, "HO HUM!" After all, as Donald K. Trump has been saying since 2006, everyone knew about Jeffrey Epstein and that Ghislaine Maxwell was evil. Bad Bunny is the pressing issue today.

The only thing more boring to a Gop than Epstein would be ICE. Why are people so obsessed with those guys? Let's talk about something more pertinent, like the 2020 election, which may be due to uninterest them again soon.

Listen, if you want something new to cry about, Trump always has something cooking. Time for some traffic problems on the Gordie Howe bridge, the international bridge Gops refused to pay for and now want half of.

If you want to talk about tariffs, Gops can put you in exactly 4 to 6 months from now. Or how about never? After all, Trump's man in the Fed says, why worry? Anyhow, Trump's pick to head the Fed, Kevin Warsh, will have the economy growing three times faster than any time in history soon, why not?

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back! No one is sure why, but it seems like a good idea and they're having fun.

Yesterday, Super Bowl LX made a lengthy appearance immediately preceding and following a well-received short concert-history/anthropology/geography/civics lesson by world renown wedding singer Bad Bunny. People who hate learning anything did not have the best time, but they still watched it, because nothing else good was on.

At least you were allowed to watch it. Only overseas viewers could enjoy listening to JD Vance getting booed at the Olympics. You are also allowed to see Melania, especially when you don't want latrine duty. That movie will take a Chinese-sized army to make break-even.

Washington Post layoffs will continue until morale improves, and for those laid off, it might. The remaining will watch democracy die in darkness. Fewer people watch the CBS Evening News since they cut back on the news.

Pssst… there might be a... blue wave coming. Chasity Martinez wins the special election for Louisiana House District 60. Another win due to Latinos coming around.

Louise Lucas does not mince words.

Calvin Ball just wants people to follow the rules, so he wants to change the rules. ICE hasn't surrounded the polls yet.

Meanwhile, the tide might be turning on Donald K. Trump. People don't like Trump policies, but in his defense, there are no Trump policies, only scams.

Trump blew up his own deputy AG's reasoning for Tulsi Gabbard's Georgia raid appearance. That's the least of what Tulsi has been up to, however. When she wasn't supervising the dissection of voting machines, Gabbard was up to no good. Really, really no good.

Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein did not just share pastimes, but also business interests.

Blackwater Founder Erik Prince might finally be locked up, although the people that have him don't seem to be the type to have jails.

The Friday pandemonium begins!

First up: The Trump White House's Racist Post of the Day.

Greg wasn't here today, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any special election action yesterday. There was! And we don't know who won! But it was exciting nonetheless, because a Dem "wins" either way. The seat won't actually be filled until April, but they may still be battling over DHS funding at that point. We'll see!

Because today ends in a "y," Trump is trying desperately to name more things after himself. Yesterday, it was "TrumpRx," his Groupon-style website for discounts on a whopping 43 different pharmaceutical drugs. Today, it's Washington's Dulles airport and New York's Penn Station.

Christine O'Donnell was famously "not a witch," but this guy is, and he was at the Clay County, MN Gop caucus earlier this week, laughing at Mike Lindell and casting a hex on the gathering. A two-fer! From Minneapolis, meanwhile, we're urged not to ignore the economic impact of the ICE/CBP siege. And perhaps lend a hand, if we can.

An ancient scroll, from 1987, may contain clues to a path toward accountability for ICE/CBP and other abusive federal "officials."

With so much unsanctioned, un-uniformed "law enforcement" activity going on out there, it was probably only a matter of time until someone tried to take Luigi Mangione's detention into their own hands. It did not work. But on the other hand, neither did an actual DOJ effort to sanction Judge Boasberg. And not just because the effort was baseless and nonsensical!

Have you heard that most Democrats are actually uninterested in shielding Bill Clinton from inquiry with regard to the Epstein files? Well, I guess The Hill hasn't.

And as for things you should look into this weekend: You may have missed this Trump bribe (because it was reported in close proximity to this other Trump bribe). Anyhoo, the Senator that caught wind of that first bribe also wants us to know that something seriously f-ed up is happening over at the CIA.

David Waldman has a lot of explaining to do and does it for a couple of hours today.

Sure, there's child abuse images and deepfakes on Ex-Twitter, but Greg Dworkin only reads it for the polling. Generally, people hate Trump. They really, really hate Trump. There's not too many ICE fans either. There could be a blue wave if Dems play it right. If.

The chances of a blue wave are helped by Trump being a dotarded jerk, and Donald K. Trump has put the pedal to the metal on that one, with no intention of letting up. Even if he wanted to avoid trouble, there's plenty of trouble heading his way.

Senator Richard Blumenthal questioned several Manchurian Federal judiciary candidates and not unexpectedly got the same answers from each.

ICE gangs still menace Minneapolis, but at least the infantry has tacoed for now. Greg Bovino wanted ICE to jackboot even more, but even ICE is beginning to realize that they are the baddies. ICE is losing legal battles, one after another just as they torture their own lawyers into submission. More than 300 former Justice Department attorneys want local investigators to investigate the Alex Pretti & Renee Good killings, because apparently, they haven't paid attention to the last decade.

Why would China fund labs in Las Vegas and Los Angeles? Asking for the several patient zeros… Are they taking the jobs from our homegrown MAHA Listeria farmers?

Steven KG Bannon wants ICE to surround polling places. Steve could be joking, but he'd also laugh if they did it. Tulsi Gabbard went to Puerto Rico to find some private time with voting machines. This voting thing has gone on long enough for Peter Thiel.

Jeff Bezos killed the Washington Post some more yesterday when he discovered that fake journalists have a greater ROI than a free press, and that real journalism can get him into real trouble. Nick Shirley surely knows that modern reporters need to follow the money... wherever it tells them to go.

Steven, Jeff, and Peter should be thrilled to know that since January another 108,000 people have headed into serfdom.

David Waldman has a million things to tell you today… and almost does.

Elon Musk's "X" Paris office has been raided. France, United Kingdom and Spain are charging Ex-Twitter of algorithmic manipulation and the distribution of child sexual abuse content. Hey, it's not a crime to hang out with pedophile content providers, is it? Greg Dworkin is there all the time in fact, mostly on assignment, of course.

For example, polling. You just can't find that anywhere else. Polling shows that people are beginning to miss Joe and want Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem to go away. White non-college folks are even drifting away. Gops now wonder if they kicked around Latinos maybe a bit too much. Republicans are presently so hated that Democrats are actually beginning to look good to voters. Indeed, Dems might even be considered to be better than the lesser of two evils heading into the midterms. Democrats still have 9 months to ruin things, which is plenty of time.

The House shut down the partial shutdown, except for DHS funding, as Gop John Rose likes them young and is the one vote margin. ICE asks if you and whose army will make them unmask, ID themselves, and generally follow the Constitution, but first, you'll have to figure out who they are.

Marimar Martinez was shot 7 times with 5 bullets, making her the bullet hole pin-up of the DHS. Slaughter of innocents may seem passé at the moment, but the feds still have their ways. Judges complain that so many of them enjoy being petty dangerous bullies, that there is hardly anyone left to do the paperwork.

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today!

Speaking of Groundhog Day, today David Waldman discusses "the filibuster", that is, busting the filibuster, fixing the filibuster and reforming the filibuster. It's now the Gop's plan to kill the filibuster, although they'd much rather be killing democracy, which has become increasingly aggravating to them. Donald K. Trump sees that they got it backward. It's kill democracy and let them keep the filibuster.

Maybe Donald can just shut the place down for a couple of years for renovations. The Kennedy Center had a $250 million renovation in 2019, but that isn't the renovation that Trump has in mind.

Marjorie Taylor Greene sees if telling the truth can make her any money.

Fulton County is going to court over the FBI's elections office raid. Big deal! That's like fining Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for double parking. Tulsi Gabbard just happened to be in the neighborhood… because Trump sent her there. Following the raid, Tulsi put Trump on speaker to talk to the folks in charge of dealing him those 11,780 beautiful votes.

Jean Pirro's coming to take your guns. She'll take the Supreme Court's guns too. The one guy deemed too dumb for Pirro's position, Ed Martin, was removed as head of weaponizing government against the people that made Trump angry. Everybody makes Trump angry, but Ed couldn't find any, that's how bad he was.

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today! That's right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's Groundhog's Day! And the big question on David Waldman and Greg Dworkin's lips... on their chapped lips, is…

About half of the Epstein files have been released, and wow they are gross. Now half of them are gone because they weren't quite redacted yet. Epstein Island, or thereabouts, was the place for the elite to meet, from Elon Musk down to... Igor… who could be this Igor or that Igor but was most likely one of this guy's Igors.

Will there be a Blue Wave? There is definitely a blue swing, and one giant blue swing in Texas. Taylor Rehmet flipped a state Senate seat by 17 points, a 32 point swing, a BFD big enough to push her well-funded opponent, Leigh Wambsganns, right out of Trump's mind. Gops turned out for the election, they just turned out to not like Trump anymore. Donald K. Trump hasn't a chance of getting these voters back, but that doesn't matter if there is no voting.

Minneapolis is being pushed out of the news, but ICE hasn't been pushed out, and its economic embargo is destroying the lives of all the residents. Two Latino gang members shot a white man down on the street recently, but lately the gang has moved to indiscriminate use of chemical agents in the towns that they menace. What kind of chemicals? They don't know and they don't care. If anyone complains, there's always biowarfare.

Trump might not be the biggest crook in the world, but he's the biggest in a democracy, at least in what's left of one. Nancy Mace is giving him a run on who's the craziest.

David Waldman's weekend assignment for KITM listeners is to review the newly released Trump-Epstein files and copy him with notable highlights before Monday's show. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Lovable rogue Donald K. Trump is suing himself for 10 billion dollars, but don't expect that to teach him a lesson, he'll always be a kind of demented jerk, too.

Meghan McCain wants attention… and needs attention also.

Trump tacoed on his own taco, backing out of pulling back in Minnesota, now that there are two instances of Alex Petti not pulling a gun on ICE officers, and AI has been effective at making anti-ICE bad guys seem maybe as bad as his bad guys. Meanwhile ICE still gallop through town like drunken rustlers in a western.

Someone somewhere for some reason decided to arrest Don Lemon. Pam Bondi took credit for taking out not one but two especially uppity journalists.

Judge Patrick J. Schiltz says ICE has violated nearly 100 court orders but cancels the contempt hearing requiring the ICE director's appearance.

We know who raided the Fulton County Board of Elections building, who wanted it done, and why… but what about the paperwork? No, it was not Thomas Albus, the German Muppet dubber, but a guy who might be his son, Thomas Albus, the United States Attorney for the eastern District of Missouri, and the official elections persecutor/prosecutor heading into the midterm elections.

With only hours to spare, Chuck Schumer resolved the Federal shutdown. Ok, that might be a bit oversimplified. There will be a shut down, but Chuck did good.
