The DOJ's new favorite move.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

And he just stands there...

So emblematic of Trump's deep concern for all Americans.

Same, lieutenant. Same.

😬

“Apres moi, le deluge.”

Same.

Recent purchase while traveling for Baltimore Comic-Con: "Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy." Recorded in 1954, the album has been remastered with bonus tracks. Incredibly, it was made with Handy hanging out in the studio, while the band played songs he wrote at the start of the 20th century.

“They call it ocean murder.”

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

In the latest "Untold Stories with Adam Philips" newsletter I talk about how I landed my client three new distributors in the past few weeks, and more! open.substack.com/pub/adamphil...

The asshole doesn't fall far from the tree, it seems.

It still drives me crazy that the Dire Straits box set "The Studio Albums 1978 -1991" does not include their 1983 four-track EP, which memorably includes the song "Twisting by the Pool."

C'mon, you guys. If you're flipping through back issues of Fantastic Four looking for the lord of all Latveria, you're Doomscrolling.

How would the horse even know?

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” -Article 1, Section 8, US Constitution Not a "norm" violation. A legal and constitutional violation.

I am currently about halfway through rewatching the original 5 seasons of SNL on Peacock, and most of the way through season 3 I found a weird post-Monty Python cameo. Michael Palin is the host, and there's a filmed bit where he's playing an actor who can't remember his lines.

It’s been 11 days since the government shutdown started. Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

Good job, woman!

…

Swear her in!

If we had anything resembling a functioning Congress, he would be impeached by lunchtime and convicted and removed from office by the close of business today.

🚨This isn’t gridlock. This isn’t compromise failing. This is Trump and Republicans choosing to hurt Americans. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

Seriously?

She is really giving "ready, fire, aim!" there.

"What's that? Vlad is on the phone? Oh, hello, Vlad. What's that? You didn't like what I said about Russia? You didn't like what I said about Ukraine? That's okay, I'll send out a statement backing Russia. 100%. No, it's not a problem. Okay, you take care now. Bye!"

There's a lot of bad juju in the air these days - but this right here made me smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOAL...

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

Nobody makes loving fun anymore and that’s sad.

This is what a hero looks like.

Today I went to a sale at the Earth-2 Comics warehouse and picked up these fine books: • Wimbledon Green • Ragnarok: Last God Standing • Black Science Omnibus • Fab4 Mania • Hellboy: Seed of Destruction • DC Graphic Novel: Frost and Fire • Girl • JSA All-Stars • Marvel Romance (more)

I took a break from posting about Marvel Age last week due to illness, but now I'm back with issue #139, as the most surprising character ever makes the cover: Batman! makeminemarvelage.blogspot.com/2025/09/just...

I’d say it’s only a matter of time before he starts saying that tariffs are bringing in “quadrillions of dollars,” but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know that word.

Coming tomorrow in my "Untold Stories with Adam Philips" newsletter: "What I Read – August 2025," a new feature. Turns out it was a lot! open.substack.com/pub/adamphil...

have they tried unplugging Trump and plugging him back in? no, wait. have they tried unplugging Trump and leaving him that way

Nothing will ever satisfy the bottomless maw of his soul...

Tomorrow in my newsletter: "Stop him, he's got a pencil!" - in which I talk about a new writing project. open.substack.com/pub/adamphil...

I don't always listen to music while I'm writing, but today's subject matter seemed to demand it. So, I'm listening to albums by André 3000 and Kamasi Washington so far.

Damn! I am writing a proposal for a science fiction comic book series that's in many ways outside my comfort zone, but I love where it's going so far!

Seizing the means of production is his next step on the road to totalitarianism.

Marvel Age #138 is here, with a major tribute to Jack Kirby, plus the Punisher meeting two non-Marvel icons, and more! makeminemarvelage.blogspot.com/2025/08/marv...

And there it is. Color me excited! youtu.be/lWIEFnbjuvE?...

Name a non LOTR character who could resist the one ring.
