El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
✌️😏-I have 2 bottles of champagne waiting for 2 occasions: when ALL of the Epstein files are made available to the public, and the 2nd for when the current 'occupant' no longer occupies the people's house. As the popular statement goes: 🫵🤨-"You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!" 🤣👍
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

Pardon me while I gas myself on a Tuesday evening: Imagine all these comics publishers treating me like I'm not a factor. 3 Eisner noms, 1500+ published pages, writing/drawing/painting/coloring/logo design, made all the right connections, etc. Timely, strong work ethic. Well-liked. BUT, Arab...
Cover WIP I might make an alt identity à la Akira Yoshida where I pretend to be a white guy or a South American and see if that guy gets more opportunities to draw big blue 😂
An old cartoon. I’m embarrassed by how competent I made him look.
This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
DOJ is now 0-20 in cases to obtain state voter files. Here is the list: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin
Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.
ICYMI: We took our message directly to Texans in the first statewide debate of the election. This campaign is about putting working Texans first & taking on the Greedy Few who rig the rules for everyone else. Texans are proving that organized people can beat organized money when we stand together.

This is so true. Texans you have to turn Texas back to blue. You have to want better.
In "Steve Canyon," Steve's spitfire cousin Poteet Canyon first appeared 70 years ago, on August 3, 1956. Here are the strips from her debut:
Today for lunch we went to Little Bad Wolf in Andersonville. It was our first time there. They are known for their burgers, and did not disappoint. Just now I saw they are #12 in Time Out top 20 burgers in U S. Ted had tacos. He was less impressed. His G&T he couldn't taste alcohol nor tonic.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is once again trying to impose his disastrous and illegal tariffs. So we’re taking him to court — again.
easier to say on Bluesky than elsewhere, but Pittsburghers: you don’t need to root for the Steelers as long as this bum is the QB. JUST WALK OUT. you can leave!!! I hit da bricks last year and highly recommend it.
It’s August 2026 and Aaron Rodgers is having a full blown meltdown about Anthony Fauci.
NEW: Jake Taylor from MSNOW says Jeanine Pirro just arrived at the West Wing. Uh oh! Methinks her days are numbered!
Let's protect Texas jobs, support our farmers, and trust Texans to make their own choices. Sign our petition to protect Texas hemp >> www.claytontuckertx.com/hemp #Texas #Hemp #LocalBusiness #Freedom
Hemp
As Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Clayton Tucker supports the right for every farmer to raise hemp, and adults to consume hemp products, without undue interference from government or corporations.

Texas got hemp wrong because this law hurts local businesses without giving Texans more freedom. We should trust adults to make informed decisions, backed by strong testing and clear labels instead of unnecessary bans.
Enten: "This is the best looking polling for Texas Democrats in a Senate race since really the 20th century ... Talarico is doing 9 points better than O'Rourke [in 2018] ... this could be very, very real. Democrats have a real shot in Texas."
