Funny cartoon by Mike Luckivich. Not funny: - Donald Trump has depleted "nearly all" long range precision missiles, ATACMs, PrSMs & 50% of Tomahawk cruise missiles in failed Iran war - US Central Command moved more to Middle East; much weakened vs China etc - Trump boys profit on new defense orders

Political cartoon by Mike Luckovich in which the United States is dropping a kitchen sink (having apparently already bombed them with everything else) on Iran as the Iranian IRGC / Islamic Republican Guard Corps watches, with one of them saying "I think America's low on munitions."
Trump has spent most of America's long-range precision missiles in this war he lost against Iran.
Iran and Oman have reportedly agreed to a deal in which Iran would control traffic at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, clearly showing that US President Donald J. Trump has lost this conflict.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

I wish Republicans cared even 5% as much about President Trump's felony convictions, sexual assaults, Epstein ties, grifting, cowardliness, stupidity, blatant attempts to steal elections and fomenting the J6 revolt at the Capitol... ... as they do about President Obama's tan suit.

Screengrab from Newsmax website newsmax.com. The capture of the headline reads: " telling it like it is: Obama's tan suit part of plot." The site is geared toward Republican, GOP, MAGA News talking points.
The story is by right wing journalist Ed Berliner.

Missed payments. Slashed staffing. Broken security. A patient who froze to death on the roof of a hospital. Inside American Healthcare System, the for-profit healthcare company driving hospitals around the country to financial chaos.

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”

Yes the cyclospora outbreak is a disaster - but you have to remember, by firing dozens of inspectors and shutting down labs and testing equipment, Elon Musk and DOGE were able to save... [checks notes]... okay wtf they cost taxpayers billions.

Just spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes and all his hospital machine alarms are going off and his eyes are glassy and he didn't blink a single time and he's not breathing and there's a very bad smell in the room. #mitchmcconnell #uspoli #politics #senate #congress #gop #dnc #beshear #kentucky

McConnell faces growing questions about absence nearly six weeks after fall

Scant details have not quieted rumors and online speculation about the former Senate Republican leader’s condition.

Donald Trump is charging a 100% tariff on all generic drugs imported to the United States starting August 1, 2026, and increasing to 200% in 2027. This will kill tens of thousands of Americans, but it's worth it cuz a handful of billionaires (and the Trumps) will get richer. #uspoli #canpoli #eu

U.S. President Donald Trump has set his sights on generic drug imports into the U.S. amid the latest bout of trade tensions between Canada and its southern neighbour.

What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.
