Paxton won’t agree to debate Talarico, and we all know why. He doesn’t want to answer these questions: “Why did you give an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator? Why were you impeached… by your own party? Why do you own 15 homes on a government salary?” James Talarico
I noticed he didn’t answer her question. “Mr. President, two-thirds of Americans don’t think the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will it end?”
No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.
This is true, that's what makes it both funny and sad.
Good morning ☀️! Sorry I am late. But if there is fresh coffee, I will take a gallon. Fall has arrived as my cartoon fir today indicates.
Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.
After banning CNN, MS NOW & Politico from the White House, he installs State-Run television, just like they have in so many other countries... Sieg Heil, ya'll. #38Days 🌊

In the richest, most powerful country in the world, it just shouldn't be this hard to afford groceries, pay your mortgage, or see a doctor.

I don’t think this, not fake news, story is getting enough attention. So, here’s another cartoon lampooning the supreme leader’s weaponization of his Triumphal Arch.
Fawn-breasted Waxbill The fawn-breasted waxbill (Estrilda paludicola) is a common species of estrildid finch found in central Africa. Small, pretty waxbill of lush habitats. Note the red bill, black tail, olive-brown back, and red rump, which is conspicuous in flight. 📸: @kenyanbirder
As Health Director for Wayne County, we put vending machines with free Narcan and fentanyl test strips in 100 locations. We hoped to make even a small dent in offsetting the opioid epidemic that Mike Rogers made even worse by voting with the pharmaceutical industry his entire career in Congress.
