It’s getting to that late part of the week where some of the really interesting stories are “on the bubble.” Will they get air time before they become stale? Or will we be buried under the constant avalanche of outrageous GunFAIL stories, something extra bonkers that Donald Trump did, or some horrible violation of constitutional norms suggested by an obscure Republican state legislator?
Well, if the usual sources of breaking news cited above fail us (or perhaps just bore us), I think we can leverage a few more instructive points out of the events of the last week or so.
Yes, other media outlets can do nuance and layers. But you’re into KITM for the fractals.
Listen LIVE right here at 9:00 AM ET!
From now on, it will cost you $1,000 per episode to listen to the Kagro in the Morning show on Daily Kos Radio. But for loyal readers of Daily Kos, we’ve reduced that price to... absolutely free!
Why would we make such an amazing offer? Reasons!
But perhaps you’re concerned that such a fantastic deal is too good to be true. That it’s unsustainable. Well, worry no more! We here at Daily Kos Radio will do anything to help set your mind at ease about sustainability, up to and including accepting your PayPal donations, or even recurring, monthly support! For you hipsters, we offer the same monthly option, but with a fancier name, through the KITM Patreon account!
There are thousands of you downloading the podcast and listening to the show live each day, five days a week. That’s about 20 shows each month, so on a per-show basis, mere pocket change from each listener is all it would take to turn this from a pleasant pastime into something my family wouldn’t shake their heads and sigh about.
Give it some thought, won’t you? Thanks!

David Waldman congratulates all of you who enthusiastically went out to vote yesterday, and hopes your voting machine was as turned on as you were. What is Greg Dworkin’s diagnosis after looking at poll results? Not so good for the Sanders campaign, but a sunny prognosis for his ideas. Bernie nabs Rhode Island, Connecticut goes to Hillary, and guns are a significant factor. Hillary Clinton gets more votes by addressing voter priorities. John Kasich face plants even where people should like him. Cruz rides the FU train out—and has something to say to you! Time to look towards the election. How did those states get those crazy shapes? Joan McCarter returns for her regular Super-post-Tuesday visit: Remember, every election is critical, don’t lose focus on the down-ticket. Bob McDonnell argues that Citizens United means he’s not corrupt — thanks Scalia? After losing to Donald Trump, Ted Cruz pulls out a tape measure to reassure his followers. Arianna Huffington is now the Uber of optimistic leadership we need. Donald Trump demonstrates the art of the deal on himself. Moms again and again buy a gun to protect their family, stick it in their purse, and leave the purse with their kids. A toddler shoots himself, barely reaching adulthood before doing it again.
