Kagro in the Morning is LIVE at 9 AM ET!

4 days ago | dailykos.com | David Waldman

Oh, no! It’s Monday again!Actually, I suppose that should be taken as a relief these days, because weekends are Trump’s most chaotic and dangerous days. And obviously, this weekend was no exception, as we’ve had a little bit of a war while we were on our break. At least he had the decency to wait for a regular weekend break, rather than start a war while I was on vacation. I really would have felt odd about that. But this is not really about me, is it?

And I really need it! Sure, I was off all week and just came back yesterday. But I foolishly decided to try to learn a new editing program yesterday, to step into the shoes of my production staff, who’s now on vacation from our vacation. And it took me all day!It better not take me all day again, today. Because it’s the longest day of the year!Anyway, editing a Friday show should—in theory—be easier than editing a Thursday show.

Wow. It’s time to return to the “air” LIVE today… and I don’t know why I didn’t just give myself a little more time to adjust!Of course, I actually do know why I didn’t, and it’s because a week away from the microphone is an eternity in the Trump era, and we’ll be returning to an entirely different world.
Kagro in the Morning IS THINKING ABOUT USING THE SAME HEADLINE AGAION at 9 AM ET!

This Wednesday feels like a Friday, but also like a Sunday. It feels like a Friday because I’m exhausted… from being on vacation!Maybe your family is like this, too. Relaxation is exhausting! But at least I won the competition for the best vacation, or whatever!It’s also like a Sunday, because it’s the last day off before reporting back to “work,” and now I have the jitters. Even though all I have to do is have a Zoom call with Greg.
The unhinged rant that again displays Trump's dangerously insane delusions

1 week ago | dailykos.com | Frank Vyan Walton

A couple of days ago Trump let loose a rant on Truth Social that was exceptionally demented. It’s worth it to take a moment and examine just how loony toons this shit truly is. Yet again, Trump is floating his “stolen election” theories that the only reason he lost in 2020, and that he generally loses in California, Illinois and New York, is because of Undocumented Immigrants who are voting. It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal or state elections in the United States.

Never did a Tuesday feel more like the Tuesday it actually is. Usually we’re running into the kind that feel like Fridays. But this one feels quite Tuesday-ish. Even though I probably recorded Tuesday’s show on a Friday. • None 106 days until the “legal” funding for what’s left of the US government runs out… again!• None 504 days until the midterm elections, if we have them• None 565 days—if we have those elections—until we seat a new Congress.

Well, it was a Trump era weekend, that’s for sure. Maybe it’s for the best that I’m still out of town and away from the microphone. I’m not sure I’m going to recognize the world I’ll once again be forced to pay attention to on Thursday. But it’s looking and feeling largely the same, from here in the sand.
Right-wing media manufactures false connections in Minnesota shooting

1 week ago | dailykos.com | Kaili Gray

Right-wing media outlets are trying to manufacture a meaningful connection between the alleged gunman who killed Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman on Saturday and the state's Democratic governor, Tim Walz. They are wrong. Multiple media sources have identified the alleged perpetrator of what Walz called "a politically motivated assassination" as Vance Boelter, an employee of a private security group in the Twin Cities.
We need your help against ICE on a couple things

I’m from LA. Born and Bred, however, I don’t live their right now. I have a good friend, Rocky Torres, who does still live there who is from the Boyle Heights Community. He’s Latino, second-generation Mexican and he called me up at 1:51 am last night to talk. It was a wide-ranging 2.5-hour discussion that started with what going on today in Downtown LA with ICE and the National Guard and ranged back to Cortez, Columbus and the Conquistadors delivering diseased blankets to the indigenous.
