David Waldman brings us the newest about the latest on KITM. Donald K. Trump opened his Circle of Hell in Youngstown, to praise John Husted's impressive "data center". I don't know how Husted should take this, as Donald was probably lying. Apparently, kickbacks were running thin and Kimberly Guilfoyle had to be let go, that is, fed to the wolves. Trump ended the war between Russia and Ukraine with his mind. South Dakota Gop Monae Johnson became somewhat less ignorant, a little less Gop. Meanwhile, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., Archbishop for the Military Services, USA, knew right from wrong pretty much all along. Where was James Talarico? Ken Paxton couldn't find him anywhere. Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar girds his loins as the election and ICE approaches. They say you can't be too young, blonde, or dumb for Trump's White House, yet Katie Zacharia is willing to give it a try. A furious judge halted tree removal and demanded answers on Trump's D.C. golf plan. So far, that has not halted tree removal nor delivered her answers.

David Waldman congratulates Hitler Mussolini, one of the "good ones", on today's jam-packed KITM. For several months, Greg Dworkin has brought us polls which we understood were really probably not portents of anything to come. Well, those days are done, that cake has sailed, we now have early voting results not meriting our credence, many gleaned from the least trustable place on earth. Nonetheless, all pretty good news, if things remotely turn out that way. At least we can see things, at this moment, suck for Gops, and rock for Dems. Trump's illegal ad stole taxpayer money, and makes viewers hate him more. Donald K. Trump is earning the next Nobel prize, which is slated to be a Russian franchise in a few months, by "brokering a peace deal" between Russia and Ukraine, which neither had heard about, and setting up an oil deal that only he and Vlad and Iran have known about since September. Speaking of Jeffrey Epstein, so is Marjorie Taylor Greene. No, you do not have to hand it to her, although sooner or later, someone probably will. Ilhan Omar tops today's vengeance list. Kimberly Guilfoyle accepted bribes and bragged about them. It is unclear what Trump would have against that, unless he didn't get a cut. Katie Miller and Stephen Miller, quiconque a du goût et de l'humanité les déteste. La guillotine est trop bonne pour eux. Pete Hegseth can be first to wherever Democrats want to send him. 500 trees might be removed for Trump's DC public to private golf club conversion…. A federal court orders that tree removal must stop… oops! They're all gone! No one could see that coming. Kansas Gop Roger Marshall has one fewer person booing him now that he paid his bakery bill.

David Waldman treats us to another KITM beforeanother jerky weekend. Did you hear? There's talk about impeaching Donald K. Trump and Pete Kegsbreth! So much so that the two of them teamed up to introduce a frankly compelling alternative. Yes, it is impossible to underestimate the depravity of this administration. Next up against the wall are slated to be Somalis. Not just any Somalis but... no... actually, any Somalis. Tom Emmer went from holding a caucus to holding the Luger. Let's see, following the Somalis will be... Canadians. We're gonna need a bigger wall. Trump also wants criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson, and Lisa Cook, and probably Navi Pillay before the end of today. What about Kimberly Guilfoyle? Kim established a "fake it 'till you make it" club in Greece that did a lot of faking, but not much making. Eric "Honey please" Deters is really in the doghouse with his wife now! Marco Rubio doesn't believe a word of this, except for the part where he takes her out before she endangers his bosses. Don Jr says, "Tell Kim. I want her to know it was me." Set a course for repugnance! Boxcars of migrants can now be simply loaded into cargo ships for deportation.

David Waldman fixed his KITM audio problems! Now, if he only knew how he did it, he could try to remember it for next time. Greg Dworkin brings us joyous polling with great tidings of Democratic leanings! Double haters will smite the Gops as we head to the promised land of November 4… Ok, polls have historically been crap. They are probably crap this time, too. But look at it this way… poll crappiness could be crappy towards Dems, but it's imaginable that they could, this time, be crappy towards Gops, who generally deserve it more. The point is, enjoy it now, and maybe you'll get to enjoy it then too! Donald K. Trump is unbelievably smart, strong, kind, and honest, but mostly unbelievable. No one believes that he'll give them $5000, and everyone is correct that he won't. Trump will remain unbelievable and things will get worse over the next few weeks, which isn't really good news for anybody. The one word voters use to describe Trump is "corrupt", but in the Trump administration there's plenty of corruption to go around. Look at Kimberly Guilfoyle… not directly of course, but you can look at plenty of corruption around her as she plies many mystery men with many side hustles for much money… and it now looks as if Kim has stepped on a few toes. Susan Collins has made a career out of not stepping on toes, which makes her the worst.

David Waldman keeps waking up with computer problems that he previously solved yet can't remember how. Henceforth, future tech solutions will be tattooed somewhere on his body. Greg Dworkin rounded up the punditry and the polls. The polls show voters heading towards to the blue everywhere, no matter how red. Where it's blue the lead grows past double digits. Meanwhile, Red regret soars. Texans might vote to tar and feather Bo French. Dems are outpacing the rigging. Gops have a whole lot of money, but only dopes to spend it on. Susan Collins is going to prove she can too eat road salt. Tom Barrett will have to eat a few data centers. You cannot prove that Zach Lahn did not live in Iowa. If you won't let them buy elections, Republicans will just be forced to steal them. Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters are getting the gang together for another heist, while the administration picks off the guards. Voters might not want data centers, but Donald K. Trump can think of a billion reasons to keep them, the first of which is that he needs one to make his legs work. Trump needs another to figure out how to make everything Trump and how to keep everything Trump… and to make you pay for it. Trump mows down trees as old as the Constitution. Umar Kremlev received your check paying him for Don Jr.'s wedding, thank you. CBS remembered that Denny Hastert covered up sexual abuse, but so far has forgotten about his child raping. Megyn Kelly believes the Roger Ailes was too gentle with her.

David Waldman does it again! We will continue until we address all news stories and read all words. Praise the Lord! Denny Hastert yesterday, Jim Bakker today. Voting/prayer lines are jammed for tomorrow's third pick. Donald K. Trump suggested letting Iran "Take Out" Los Angeles and San Diego, and he did not mean on a date. He called Senate candidate, mother of 3, Annie Andrews, "trannie." Stay on the line to get your vote in for tomorrow! Trump can mess with the midterms in ways that are idiotic, ineffectual and illegal… and therefore irresistible. Ed Martin, Tina Peters, and Cleta Mitchell are only some of the brain trust being called to tackle reality in the remaining days. Could an "AI" Trump replace today's "SI" (stupid ignoramus) Trump? Why not? It already operates his legs. Although voters would probably accept a majority AI SCOTUS first… a predictive Alito model would be a cinch to engineer. Trump is sending checks filled with lies to bribe swing voters. That's all paid by taxpayers, but his pro-Donald ads are now paid with MAGA money. Brazil locked up their Trump clone, Jair Bolsonaro, for 28 years, but now his clone/son Flávio is running for president, supported/rigged with your taxpayer money

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back! Actually, we only turn the microphones on weekdays, they talk continuously. Almost any way you look at it, a blue wave… could… be coming. Trump voters are already beginning to forget that they were Trump voters. Donald K. Trump's popularity is at an historic low, because he is an awful president, and an awful person. You know what's even better than winning polls? Winning elections! And we have some right around the corner. Kansas Gops could lose for the first time in 94 years. You'd hope that Trump Disapprovers wouldn't vote Republican, but really deplorable ones still might. Vivek Ramaswamy fumbled a child at the 10-yard line yet still has a lot of money. Susan Collins has 99 concerns, but money isn't one of hers either. Trump has been honing his rigging skills in Brazil in preparation for this month. New assistant press secretary Beni Rae Harmony has all of the credentials that you would expect to work for Trump and then some. Ken Paxton is even a bad puppet. Dennis Hastert is no longer alive but remains disgraced. Denny spent his entire career disgracing himself. Ken Paxton would have given him 60 days. Country singer Alexis Wilkins loves Kash, but enough to wait for parole? The Baltic States prepare for war as the US retreats from Iran, anywhere Iran might be. Kristi Noem's Homeland Security Department bought five aircraft for the price of a dozen from a donor. Noem believes the New York Times just wants to cause her trouble, as her Ex was the only one who wanted to see her screwed this often.

David Waldman ends the week and kicks off the first weekend of October and its October surprises. Money to go to Europe and Ukraine gets shuffled to Latin America. Money from the Minority Health Office gets shuffled off to RFK Jr. Everyday, Trump's shuffling money to his crew but also starving out anything that angers or bores him through pocket rescissions. Wait, pocket rescissions aren't allowed, right? Well, you thought that, but you were pre-wrong and just didn't know it. The DOJ is coming to the rescue of Richard Nixon, pre-wronging generations of history books. Trump Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle has judged herself to be pre-wrong. The judge on Olympian vs. Reflecting Pool has difficulty finding anyone guilty before any crime was committed. Another judge is keeping Trump from his prewrongative of firing US Attorneys who aren't his shills. Famously bait-able Donald K. Trump laid plenty of groundwork for Jack Smith, and the work they created together should be released to the public. Donald has been rolling up the miles on his Natalie Harp, and is already beginning to look at trade-ins. Eric Schmitt couldn't resist any conspiracy theory that would boost his profile. Amy Klobuchar was aware of that. John Roberts wanted to take his bubble with him on vacation but those aren't allowed at a rage retreat.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin kick off the KITM Octoberfest. "The outlook is good.", say pollsters who rarely, if ever, use a Magic 8 Ball. Republicans now have a 27% chance of holding the Senate. They have a 1 out of 100 chance of winning the House. Don't say they didn't warn you. For instance, the national bellwether race in the state of Virginia has a Democrat on a narrow edge. So does the battleground New York House contest. Texas is still red… but so tantalizingly close… so inviting to drop some cash now for 2028. Bulletin: Most blame Donald K. Trump for higher prices and are unhappy with how he is handling the economy. Trump blames himself for his awful Supreme Court. And for not banning all journalism and just hiring an ad agency. He told you he had a gun! But did you listen? Most likely, we'll have some sort of midterms though, and Republicans are pretty certain to lose, and pretty certain that they will lose. In Texas, many are voting for a change of face, many because they actually like James Talarico as much as they hate Trump. Many are voting against Ken Paxton, although drowning him would be fine. Gina Hinojosa is doing well with those who ran out of excuses for their education system. Bobby Pulido really makes Quinceañeras great again. Susan Collins probably can't sing but can't do commercials well either. Sherrod Brown really can't sing but knows how to do a commercial. Republicans discovered that there are fewer rich voters than poor voters, so how does 38¢ off a gallon of gas sound, hm? Meanwhile, as the administration makes orphanages and asylums great again, Todd Blanche wants to lock Minnesota's federal district judges up, and Kash Patel wants to tie naughty sheep down.

At least David Waldman can prove where he was this morning. Eric Schmidt was hoist with his own Jack Smith petard the moment that we all discovered, in real time, his very own conspiracy theory was 100% Schmidt. And to think Eric was so close to the big time too! Greg Dworkin hauls in a huge Raft O' Stories™, chock full o' X crap™. Elon has had a tough time recently and we all need to pull together to help. Blue wave, maybe! Only one sure way to know, and it's not polls. Polling and results could end up in a similar place this time, though, mostly because Donald K. Trump sucks so much. Just ask Ken Paxton! Just ask Marjorie Taylor Greene! Just ask AI! ...right before it slits your throat. Of course, "AI" is no match for "SI", or the "Stupid Idiot" who spelled United States wrong in an executive order. Venezuela has spent a decade trying to please Trump and look at what it got them. A federal judge last week ordered the Trump administration to "immediately" notify her if it plans to release federal voter eligibility lists, and now they have to plan something worse. Pete Hegseth will keep firing generals until the armed forces looks completely fabulous. If you are into cuckolds, cosplay, and cages, this is your lucky day!

David Waldman weaves a fine tapestry of stupid news for us today. Donald K. Trump wants more money, more bribes, more gold. "To the victor go the spoils" is the key message of the Constitution, and the Bible, as far as he's concerned. Trump had a pile of Venezuelan gold at his feet before the bodies were cold. Amazingly, few refiners are interested in Blood Gold, even though that's been the Venezuelan currency with the US for the last decade. Six or more prosecutors have quit the Trump Grand Conspiracy case being run by Aileen Cannon. A prosecutor also quit on an investigation into former C.I.A. director John O. Brennan. There are still plenty attempting to weaponize government, however. Cassidy Hutchinson feels the intimidation. A group called ShinyHunters hacked into the FBI, gaining personal info on tens of thousands of employees. The FBI hasn't caught any of them, because they aren't that good. Why worry? Not all of them could be into bestiality… Why would Artificial Intelligence… excuse me, Super Intelligence, even bother with instantly killing us all when it's so fun to just troll everyone?

On today's KITM, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin count down the days until the midterm elections and determine that there are altogether too many of them. Are Democrats going to win the midterms? Who knows! If you were to poll polls, they would tell you that they like "Democrats", and that they really do not like "Republicans". That, and several bucks, will buy you a cup of coffee. We do seem to have a blue wave and a red undertow in those polls. The primaries portend well. Early voting is happening a lot. All that probably means many things, much of which will become clearer in retrospect. In New Jersey's 7th congressional district, home of Kean University and future former home of Tim Kean, Kean's incumbency and red district don't look like they'll save him. Maine voters might end up term limiting Susan Collins to five terms. In Texas, John Cornyn isn't going to even bother with Ken Paxton. Ohio has been falling into a red sinkhole for decades, but the data centers issue might actually lift it out. Even lifelong Republican John Fetterman says it's entirely possible that Democrats take back the Senate. As usual, most of the credit has got to go to Donald K. Trump, the least wily of all super-geniuses in world history. Victory in Venezuela, and that dotard still can't keep from spoiling all of his spoils. AI might not be as smart as Trump, but it can FUBAR a million times faster. Meanwhile, Stephen Miller is living the life he deserves, hiding in fear. Miller might not be in danger every moment of every day, but as long as he feels that way, it's okay.

Well, David Waldman tumbled out of bed and stumbled to the studio/kitchen, poured himself a cup of ambition, yawned and stretched and tried to come to life… results might have been mixed, but KITM only goes 9 to 11, then there's the weekend! Markwayne Mullin, unmarried, has had a long-term live-in relationship with Missouri Gop Jason Smith. One thing is certain. Markwayne Mullin is a moron. White House press pool members have regained access… no they haven't… maybe they have… bet they sure feel owned by now! Private security guards will be watching Postal Police officers watching Postal Union members whose jobs are being replaced by AI. Trump hasn't yet replaced all voters with AI, so he plans to send a couple thousand federal agents to breathe on any human voters who might want to vote wrong. Trump goons aren't just watching you, as snitching on each other pays off even more. Don't worry, Donald K. Trump Jr. will pay back Umar Kremlev somehow. Russians do accept all forms of payment. Maintenance projects have been put off around the country and rerouted to more important Trump things. There will always be money to pay for upkeep later, and even more if he never pays.

David Waldman is here to distract us from the distractions with some important stuff. Greg Dworkin has all the latest pole news and as you'd expect Donald K. Trump is coming up way short, but today we're talking microscopic. Trump is dragging the party so low that even Susan Collins is in concerning territory. Even Graham Platner is looking pretty Teflon. Gops might be idiots, but they aren't stupid, as they panic about importing beef and exporting diesel. Any Gop in a +15 district is treading water. Trump is W, but less affably asinine. Democrats are playing this like it's 2006. Democrats just can't wait to make it happen either. Republicans are not as enthusiastic. Trump made the US government into his PAC. MAGA podcasters just don't recall this "Trump" fellow… they pose for pictures with a lot of people, you know. Pollsters are usually wrong, but even Trump can't sue them. Donald hoped to have a few press heads on pikes to show off to Xi but he apparently appointed a TDS woke judge who told him he couldn't do that yet. That judge can't make him obey, though, or maybe he can… Anyhow it's another Trump PR victory, and if it isn't, it's JD's fault. "Why do ICE forget to wear or turn on their bodycams?", should be asked by a judge… especially Judge Brett Kavanaugh. A Massachusetts Lesbian bar almost lifted its KN-95 requirement, but patrons really wanted to keep them on. UPS dropped some F-35 stealth fighter parts off at the wrong doorstep in China.
