Toad:
The Department of Defense changed the number of service members killed in action in the Iran War from 18 to 14.

Orange Meanie:
It's a different war now.

Toad:
Are you just changing the name of the conflict to play keep-away from Congress?

Orange Meanie:
We've had 40 different Iran Wars this year and we've won every one!

Toad:
I see. You're just running up the score.

Orange Meanie:
Well, it's not like it costs anything.

Hyena:
The Pentagon needs another $67 billion in addition to the $1.5 trillion we already asked for.

Senator:
What did you do with the $920 billion we gave you last year?

Hyena:
Biden spent it all on social experiments and globalist appeasement! We need to move away from all the woke priorities of what Biden was pursuing!

Senator:
Biden hasn't been president for over a year and a half.

Hyena:
But...Biden! Biden!

Senator:
not the Iran War?

Hyena:
Testosterone!

The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.

The Curiosity rover on Mars. At about $2.6 billion, it buys you about ten days of Iran war.

Jack and Ben are walking.

Ben: Hoo boy, you try and do something fun for people.

Jack: You had to know what you were getting yourself into with this crowd.

Ben: I wasn't expecting it to be easy.

Ben: But I did expect people to help more instead of getting in the way.

Ben: I guess the real obstacles were the friends we met along the way.

These are not mistakes. These are not lapses. This is what I.C.E. is for, extrajudicial killing.

Mr. Blank Toad, are you and President Trump friends?

Blank Toad:
I'm his lawyer. Oops, was his lawyer.

Senator:
Is it okay for I.C.E. to violate the Constitution?

Blank Toad:
It depends on the circumstances.

Senator:
You've sworn an oath to defend the Constitution more than once, is that right?

It depends on the circumstances.

Good news for us! We'll have plenty of work!

Big Missile:
I guess this is what happens when your president only knows threats and name-calling.

Small Missile:
Did Trump expect the Iranians to give up because he called them scum?

Big Missile:
The U.S. has also added another $100 billion to the $300 billion they're giving to Iran.

Small Missile:
You forgot backing down, Trump also knows how to back down.

New WTFA: Real tortoises, at least, have charisma. wtfacomic.com/wtfa.2026070... Support me on Patreon! patreon.com/crywalt or ko-fi! ko-fi.com/crywalt #MitchMcConnell

Narrator:
The lazy political cartoonist way of handling the questions surrounding Mitch McConnell these days -- is he alive? is he dead? -- is to draw a tortoise, have it say something horrid, and call it a day.

Narrator:
But often we hear that whatever creature we're using as a stand-in for a Republican doesn't deserve that treatment. So this, this here, this is just a regular tortoise.

Narrator:
It's pretty interesting, though, isn't it, that you can't tell if it's dead or just sleeping? Like, it's a tortoise. It doesn't move that much. You can't see if it's breathing.

Narrator:
Anyway, there's no way a tortoise would approve of keeping word of its demise out of the news long enough to prevent the governor from appointing its replacement.

Tortoise:
Make...this death...count

Ben and some other elderly people are still holding book club. Ben says, "Since most of you didn't read the book, what else should be talk about?"

Joanne: I think my sister took my Sony Walkman.

Ben: Well, I enjoyed the book's theme of romance.

I got a new 2026 quarter in my change today and wow this is strikingly ugly currency. The portrait of Washington looks like someone dropped their baggie of dogshit and the type on both sides is illegible. One positive: US coinage finally has one coin with its number on it.

But now you're saying birthright citizenship is going to destroy the country?

It's not a real win until we get rid of all the non-white people.

Orange Meanie:
What if we just cover everything with a tarp?

Kennedy Center Façade:
THE REGIME IS PETTY & WEAK

Judge Cooper:
ORDERED that Defendants shall, within 14 days of the date of this order, remove all physical signage on the Kennedy Center building and grounds, including the front portico, that purports to rename the Kennedy Center after President Trump or any other individual besides President Kennedy.

Orange Meanie:
But what if we miss the deadline?

Kennedy Center Façade:
THE COURTS ARE COMPLICIT

Judge Cooper:
The parties are hereby ordered to file a joint status report by July 31. The report shall indicate the purpose for and status of the tarp and scaffolding that Defendants have erected on the front portico of the Center.

Keep setting new deadlines, but don't bother setting consequences!
