Kagro in the Morning - August 27, 2025

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin regroup here at the top of the week and help work out our next move.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged on my birthday, thus making that date easier for everyone to remember.

Pseudo-president Trump is crypto-president from now on.

In happy news for crackers, the cracker barrel returns to Cracker Barrel. Could a one-week feint towards a clipart logo be a publicity stunt to replace their dying customer base with MAGA hardcore? If so, expect Red Lobster’s rebrand as “Red State”.

OK, Doomer. ICEISIS may feel like it’s around every corner (because that’s the intent) but that doesn’t mean that you have to give up. Democrats lead the U.S. House generic by 8 points, and in real-life very-red Iowa, Catelin Drey won by 11, in a district Trump carried by 11. It happened there, and it should be happening everywhere.

The US might be involved with attempting to destabilize a sovereign democracy! Shocking, right? Greenland might be asking for it, but that doesn’t mean it’s giving Donald consent to grab it by the windfarms.

Delulu DOGE dropped skibidi Social Security numbers… AnD fanum tax bro!
