Friends and colleagues have asked me why I still subscribe to the print version of The New Yorker. Besides the great journalism, you get awesome art and cartoons like Barry Blitt’s “War-A-Lago.” Hilarious! What a great magazine!

If people want to disfigure themselves, that's their business. But somebody should tell them the truth: Botox makes your LIPS bigger, not your BRAINS.

Now and then — for no reason in particular — I like to post an old illustration by a sweet guy who worked for me when I was graphics editor at The Times NWI. Stacy Curtis did bears and birds and pigs playing banjos better than anyone. And he drew the picture of me I use in my avatar. Hey Stacy!

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed. She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone. Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

During this press conference, Sec. Alfalfa called on a "correspondent" from Lindell TV. Really. A credentialed "reporter" from the Pillow Guy network. And then he throws a tantrum because nobody takes him seriously.

Listen to Pete Hegseth. Instead of the calm, mature leadership we used to know at DOD, he sounds like a sugar-high Secretary Alfalfa praising Great Leader President Spanky for their decisive (adjective, adjective) victory over Enemy Girl Darla with the World's Best Most Lethal Water Balloons.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

At 93, The "godfather of vaccines" observes the results of vaccine skepticism. As a young intern, Stanley Plotkin witnessed the death of a 3 yr old from Influenza B infection. The boy's epiglottis swelled, killing him. Plotkin went on to develop the rubella vaccine & others. 🧪 archive.today/T5rft

THIS is the reason for all the discord, for the hours of mis and disinformation. This explains the decade of Election Hoax and Voter Fraud claims. Because America wouldn't GIVE him the votes he wanted, now he's going to TAKE them. And to hell with the Constitution. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Sadly, bone spurs are a hereditary condition that prevent privileged billionaire offspring from participating in military conflicts waged by their fathers to distract from pesky sex scandals. Please give generously to Gutless Nepo Babies of America . Together we can find a cure.

Yeah, just watch what Obama does. Oh, wait ...

Remember: Only believe those scummy hoaxes approved by the Chairman of the Board of Peace, the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize.

Yes, of course, and we know this is true because he won the FIFA Peace Prize.

Project much?

Netflix loses. It's throwing in the towel. Paramount wins the bidding war for the Warner Bros. empire. The president is thrilled. So much winning. Who else loses? Bugs. Bogie. CNN. And the American people.

I want those withheld Trump-Epstein documents. And I want them YESTERDAY.

JUST IN: Advisors to Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s closed-door deposition has been paused after it was revealed that Lauren Boebert shared an unauthorized photo from the hearing with Benny Johnson, who then posted it on social media, as seen below.

In 1977, David Frost asked Richard Nixon why he didn't "burn" the incriminating Watergate tapes that ultimately sealed his fate. Fifty years later, a cynical reporter might wonder if the Justice Department has been busy for months destroying Epstein files incriminating Donald Trump.

I thought of this sweet kid again after last night's State of the Union speech. Just a sweet, innocent little kid. You want to hug him and tell him, Son, we're not all like that. I promise.

This item on the front of today's Washington Post could be one of the most important stories of the day.

Just when you think the president's cabinet couldn't get more unqualified, along comes Casey Means, candidate for surgeon general. • Inactive medical license • Not board certified • Questions vaccines • Serious conflicts of interest

While touting prescription drug prices during the State of the Union, Trump said his second term "Should be my third term. But strange things happen."

🔵🔹️Rep. Massie 👉🏽 “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files 📂 Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.” 🔵👇🏽🇺🇸✊🏽

Like… the White House?

On CNN and MS NOW: Blockbuster coverage of an alleged DOJ coverup of interviews with an Epstein victim involving accusations against the president. Meanwhile, on Fox News: An in-depth discussion about whether Gavin Newsom has "It." Whatever It is.

The president says his economy is "the best in history." But most economists say the post-WWII boom was vastly superior. Huge manufacturing. Sustained GDP growth. And unprecedented surge of a new middle class that lasted from 1945 to the early 1970s. How's the middle class doing these days? Hmmm?

Dozens of missing Trump-related Epstein files? Possibly doctored, tampered or withheld/deleted files involving the president? Who could have predicted THAT?

Number of times Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files: A gazillion. Number of times Trump will mention Epstein or his victims in tomorrow's State of the Union speech: Zero.

I've been in the office all weekend — and going back in a minute! But I want to acknowledge tons of #Bluesky love, much of it from Giants who make this platform awesome. @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social @annettebeebe.bsky.social @chaserbaybe.bsky.social @eileennjflns.bsky.social @moberzan.bsky.social

Gosh, I wonder why Judge Cannon would want to cover up a prosecutor’s final report on Trump’s classified documents case? Hmmm.

An Ode to Cosmo the Shaggy Dog! On social media, one thing is clear: Among canine creators, Cos has no peer. He's a scholar, an athlete, a helluva dancer. A poet, a pilot who's sure to cure cancer. Look at that face — you'll never forget him. Ladies on Bluesky just can't wait to pet him.

This is NOT the business of government. This is what dictators do — just before they rule they have sufficient grounds to take control of the nation's broadcast media.

Hey, Austin Smith! Thanks for proving once more that with Reich-Wingers, every accusation is a confession. #ElectionFraud #AustinSmith #TPUSA

An amendment to a Tennessee bill would allow prosecutors to charge women who have abortions with fetal homicide, punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty. Performing an abortion is already a felony in Tennessee. It's also a felony to deliver or fulfill orders for abortion pills by mail.

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

In the old days, seasoned mobsters would always cover their faces with a fedora or manila envelope. They understood PR — and they knew what guilt looks like. The ex-prince looks guilty because he is. Next time, wear a hat.

The American flag comes down under a Trump banner amid stormy weather at DOJ.

On CNN and MS NOW, they're talking about potential repercussions of today's Supreme Court decision killing the president's tariffs. Meanwhile, on Fox, they're talking about space aliens.

Justice Kavanaugh openly worries that refunding billions in illegally collected tariffs will "be a mess." The Court wasn't worried about the mess IT created when it struck down Roe. And the Court wasn't too worried about the mess IT created with the half-assed Citizens United decision.

Meanwhile, on the president's friendly channel, the Fox Team is tying itself in knots trying to soften the blow of the Supreme's 6-3 decision on tariffs. It's not convincing.
