If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

So, the so-called President who “accidentally” sent Abrego Garcia to an El Salvadoran gulag doesn’t “have the power” to bring him back, and the President who imprisoned him there doesn’t “have the power” to send him back? So who the fuck does? The Care Bears? Batman? What the actual fuck???

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Today is the 93rd birthday of Angelo Torres, born April 14, 1932. The last surviving artist to do work for EC Comics, he is probably best known for his several decades with Mad magazine.

Interesting isn't it that people like Cody Balmer, who sets fire to the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania gets their legitimate due process under the law but Albergo Garcia, who committed no crime gets none. This is America now.

Cartoon: Are you being served? Sometimes I feel bad that I seem to have no grand stories to draw, no epic scenes, no transcendent imagery. And then I'm giddy that I can have a silly idea and bang it out in a half hour. Each to our own strengths I guess. The world has room for both :) Enjoy!

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.
