The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine ceases to exist. IF Russia ceases, the war ceases

Real folks talking about #TrumpsGasCrisis and how it is affecting their bottom line. While this corrupt administration keeps making money hand over fist, we the people are getting fleeced at the gas pump. Nobody voted for higher prices and for Trump’s net worth to nearly triple

Even if the strait reopened tomorrow, experts believe it would take a year for gas prices to fall back to pre-war levels. And let’s be clear, the strait was open before the war. Returning to baseline is not a win. #TrumpsGasCrisis

There have been more mass shooters over the last 40 years than there have been non-citizens who have voted.

Every week, we force a vote on the Senate floor to end the war in Iran. While there are signs Republicans are starting to break, so far we can't get to 50. But we will keep trying. Because the Iran war cost crisis is getting devastating for American families.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Historic: More voters blame Trump (77%) for gas prices rising than ever blamed Bush, Obama or Biden. A rare majority trifecta of Dems (95%), Indies (82%) and GOP (55%) now blame Trump. And unlike what Trump/Rick Scott argue, 64% say the war hasn't been worth higher gas prices.”

😂

There’s no pause button in the Constitution, or the War Powers Act. We’re at war. We’ve been at war for 60 days. The blockade alone is a continuing act of war. Failing to seek congressional approval, Trump is breaking the law & betraying Americans.

Trump* in his letter to Congress on May 1st: "The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated. Trump in his rally at the Villages on May 1st: "We're in a war..." *Likely White House Counsel working in consultation with State/L, DoD/OGC, and OLC.

Climate risk to insurance collapse to mortgage meltdown to property values crash. How often have I warned? And so many others?

There was already a world where Iran didn't have a nuclear weapon and it didn't take high gas prices to achieve that.

Union soldiers died to end slavery. Marchers died to secure the vote. The Roberts Court decided their sacrifice didn’t matter.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

Putin likely possesses significant leverage over trump. 🤔👍

Trump is literally paying energy companies NOT to produce clean American energy and create American jobs. And he's using your tax dollars to do it. When you're opening your utility bills this month, remember that.

A Supreme Court where 5 of 6 conservative justices appointed by GOP presidents who initially lost popular vote & confirmed by senators elected by minority of Americans just effectively killed Voting Rights Act, country’s most important civil rights law. This is not democracy

FUN FACT: When producers of "The Apprentice" visited Donald Trump's offices, they realized they were too small and shoddy to convey success. So they build imaginary Trump spaces on a sound stage. Here is the famous "boardroom." Notice how the walls don't go to a ceiling. And the theatrical lighting.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

. @bagleycartoons.bsky.social nails our corrupted Scotus!

The conservative justices talk all this shit about how they are mere faithful "interpreters" of laws that Congress passes. They are lying, but they are never lying harder than when, as here, their response to Congress passing a law they don't PERSONALLY like is "nah, we know better."

I have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said

Doing Putin's Job For Him: The Trump Cabinet's Meme War on America open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. 1/

Good for @moulton.house.gov. The mere declaration of no quarter may indeed be a war crime. From March: www.ms.now/opinion/pete...

"Section 2 [of the Voting Rights Act of 1965] now is effectively gutted. This was a cynical display of judicial cowardice." Marc Elias

Gee...I wonder why?

The Roberts Court continues to systematically dismantle the Voting Rights Act. History isn't repeating itself by accident. Full video here, would love to hear your thoughts in the comments: https://youtu.be/3jJRQY9xTp8

Trump celebrates political violence when it serves him. He mocked Paul Pelosi’s hammer attack, suggested Mark Milley deserved death, posted himself with a bat aimed at Alvin Bragg, and watched for 187 minutes as his mob attacked police and chanted “hang Mike Pence.” This is a monster.

So deeply unserious. We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸

Ohio's mid-decade redistricting targeted Marcy Kaptur's seat, and Repubs are attacking her with vicious ads. Voters need to remember how she's worked to boost manufacturing, invest in infrastructure, and support our military and veterans. Re-Elect Marcy Kaptur Ohio's 9th Congressional District

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Donald Trump and the rest of his administration only now how to tear things down. China is surpassing the US in biomedical as technical research thanks to him. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Obama would like a word!

Donald Trump votes by mail, so do many Members of Congress, and so did a third of the country in the last election.    So why are they trying to take it away from you?    There is no documented crisis of mail-in voting fraud.

If you’re response to yet another act of gun violence in America is to build yourself a fortified ballroom and to not demand immediate gun reform legislation - you don’t actually care about public safety.

Are we really indulging the BS of a man who incited the worst violent political attack Washington has seen in modern memory, fostered hate and division, called for executing his opponents and sent thugs into our streets as he and his minions hypocritically condemn political violence?

When my former party today says the left “needs to tone down the rhetoric,” just pull this one out. It’s one of so very, very many.👇

The best take on the Saturday night non-massacre that I’ve read so far. By @djrothkopf.bsky.social

Trump was interviewed by Norah O'Donnell this morning about the WHCD shooting, and it was broadcast on 60 Minutes tonight. He called her a terrible reporter because she referred to the alleged shooter's manifesto. Why does he continue to do this to female reporters?

🎯

The *intro* to the indictment against SPLC “speaks about millions of dollars….used to pay informants,” but when u get to the “actual charges, the amounts dwindle to…$13,905 [total]… No explanation has been given…4 the huge discrepancy between the introductory language…& what is actually charged.“ 1/

Terrible events at the WHCA dinner in DC tonight. I'm glad no one was injured.
