Kagro in the Morning - July 14, 2026

David Waldman, the guy who brought us “pervert glasses” (Well, not the glasses per se, but the concept of, you know…) brings us the Tuesday KITM:

RIP to who again? Congresspeople are dropping like very old flies. Mitch is that one on the windowsill who started buzzing again. Lindsey had done that a few times himself before disappearing into the carpet somewhere. Donald K. Trump noted how much they all were attracted to him, but what’s another fly gone, more or less? Graham had no wife and kids, but did have a sister, which is close enough for government work.

RIP to the State Department, laying off 1,300 employees in order to create the deep state of their dreams. When all is handled from the top down, there need not be a bottom.

The National Guard will remain activated in DC as long as Trump is there, give or take. Who else is there to guard the Lincoln Reflecting Pool/Tractor Pull Arena, the gash of which might soon extend beyond the Washington Monument?

Boosie Badazz is still working on his art of the deal after paying Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman for a pardon.

E Jean Carroll finally received the $5.6m Trump owed her, sadly not as a giant novelty check in front of Trump Tower. She can do that for her upcoming big check.

Corey Lewandowski, who has never once been suspected of propriety, is once again being suspected of impropriety.

A federal judge finally said what federal judges should have been saying, probably since there’s been Trumps in the US. Do you think that could be a bump in Todd Blanche‘spath to confirmation tomorrow? Nah.
