The government is shut down, and Russ Vought, the OMB director, "has been dreaming about this moment since puberty,” according to Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. Kind of creeps you out, does't it? #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpRecession #trumpslump #Oligarchy #Project2025

Feel like a hamster on a wheel? No wonder! And it'll only get worse. Trump's Big Ugly Bill ramps up inequality, gives the ultra-rich a massive tax break, and makes working people much worse off. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpRecession #trumpslump #Oligarchy #Resist

A figurative hail storm is hammering American soybean farmers, and it's all the result of Trump's ridiculous tariff policy. #TrumpTariffs #TrumpRecession #soybeans #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #FarmEconomy #TradePolicy #Agriculture #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

As Benjamin Netanyahu wreaks havoc in the Mideast, I hope he doesn't give Trump any ideas. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

The more Trump and his Republican lickspittles desperately try to cover them up, the more the people are demanding that the Epstein files be released. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

In a surprise development like a plot twist in a slasher movie — and about as believable — Mike Johnson has asserted that Trump was actually an FBI informant in the Epstein case. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

In a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee today, RFK Jr. came off as wacky and inconsistent. His policies will cause needless suffering and death, and he needs to be fired. #RFKHearing #RFKJrResign #RFK #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #Tump

#TBThursday A color version of a cartoon in June 2017 that had originally been done in B&W in 1993. That earlier version ran in the Sacramento Bee and the L.A. Times, and perhaps some other California papers.

Like many in Colorado, I've found Gov. Jared Polis' support of RFK Jr. baffling and cringe-inducing. I wondered what would happen if Bobby Kennedy's extraordinary diagnostic powers were applied to the Janus-faced governor. #RFKjr #copolitics @coloradopols.com

Did you relax over the long Labor Day weekend? Trump thinks hard-working Americans get too many holidays. He shouldn't talk. Trump slammed President Obama for his golfing frequency and, although he promised he would be different, he golfs much more than Obama.

Putting a quack such as RFK Jr. in charge of the CDC, America’s preeminent disease-fighting agency, will guarantee avoidable illness, suffering and loss of life in America. Trump must be held to account. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

#TBThursday This is from October 2017, after the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest shooting that killed 58. With the NRA in disarray, a new organization, the NSSF, has stepped into the breach. Primarily funded by the gun industry, it espouses the same extremist positions.

#TBThursday This appeared in the Fresno Bee on Nov. 4, 1995. On Oct. 24, 1995, Newt Gingrich predicted that Medicare is “going to wither on the vine...." Americans should not forget that blackhearted Republicans have always sought to achieve Medicare's demise.

Trump's flunky, William Pulte, has accused the Fed's Lisa Cook, Sen. Adam Schiff and New York AG Letitia James of mortgage fraud. But Texas Republican AG Ken Paxton declared three Texas homes as primary residences, and Trump hasn't gone after him. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Trump's dictatorial power grabs are done brazenly, without even the faintest hint of shame or embarrassment. And he hypocritically condemns California for responding in kind to his Texas gerrymandering. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Autocratic baloney clumsily served in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and coming soon to a city near you. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #sandwichguy

#TBThursday This "City on a Hill" cartoon ran in the Fresno Bee on Sunday, Aug. 6, 1995.

History will judge Trump harshly for the ghastly acts of genocide in Gaza that continue to be supported by billions of American taxpayer dollars. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #Gaza #GazaGenocide

Kristi Noem said Tuesday that the entire U.S.-Mexico border wall will be painted black, per Trump's order, to make it too hot for people to climb. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to whitewash U.S. history. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

I did this one back in July 2016. After Trump's obsequious performance in Alaska, rolling out the red carpet for the brutal dictator, it's clear that Trump is still Vladimir Putin's bootlicker. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

#TBThursday This is from 10 years ago this month. Nothing has changed, as recent high-profile shootings in Austin, Fort Stewart, Chicago, Baltimore, L.A. and Montana demonstrate. Every day in the U.S., 125 people are killed with guns, and 200 more are shot and wounded.

Trump's pick to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics, E.J. Antoni, is a partisan MAGA hack who has been criticized by economists on both the right and the left. #BLSdata #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption

Trump's budget bill cuts healthcare and rural hospitals, and blows a billion-dollar hole in Colorado's budget. It balloons the national debt and devastates hardworking families — all to give hefty tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. #Trump #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #copolitics

It's constant drama with this reality TV president. First he takes over Kennedy Center, then he takes the show to the streets when he grabs control of the DC police. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption

Trump's regime has been nothing if not an ugly war on children. I'm sure there are more examples, but I had limited space. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption

#TBThursday This was in the Sacramento Bee on Sept. 14, 1995, but it could have been drawn today. Trump's "One, Big Beautiful Bill" includes a $156.2 billion increase in defense funding, while slashing education, foreign aid, environment, health and public assistance programs.

Today's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. In 2013, when SCOTUS gutted the act, effectively ending the "preclearance" provision, Chief Justice Roberts justified it by claiming, “things have changed dramatically.” #VotingRightsAct #votingrightsact60 #restorethevra

Trump barks orders, like he did in the infamous call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and those proud, independent Texas Republicans sure do behave like a bunch of lackeys. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption

The setting of Grant Wood's iconic 1930 painting, "American Gothic," is Iowa, but the effects of Trump's drastic cuts will be felt acutely across much of rural America, including Colorado. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #copolitics

#TBThursday Another postcard from the past: This was drawn in late 1993 and appeared in the Fresno Bee on Feb. 5, 1994. At that time, in California, it probably seemed a bit hyperbolic, but isn't so far-fetched now, under the current Trump/Stephen Miller authoritarian regime.

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, long a champion of whistleblowers, knuckled under to Trump and spurned the whistleblowers on the Emil Bove nomination. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption

I did tsunami graphics a few years ago at the @latimes.com . A tsunami advisory was issued for the entire California coast after an 8.7-magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean about 78 miles east-southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. www.latimes.com/california/s...

“This is Trump’s famine,” said a representative of an NGO in the Mideast region, according to MotherJones. #GazaStarving #Gaza #GazaHolocaust #Gaza_is_dying_of_hunger #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Lewis Carroll, author of "Through the Looking-Glass," described Tweedledum and Tweedledee as “looking ... exactly like a couple of great [big] schoolboys.” Or maybe like leering frat boys. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Trump, who is easily the most brazenly corrupt president in U.S. history, campaigned on promises to "drain the swamp." #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption #GriftInChief #griftersgonnagrift

"Ahh, but the strawberries! That's - that's where I had them." Pete Hegseth's paralyzing paranoia at the Pentagon sounds a lot like Captain Queeg. Everyone can see that Hegseth is utterly incompetent. @PeteHegseth #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early for the summer to spare his idol, the Tangerine Tyrant, the embarrassment of votes on the Jeffrey Epstein files. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

#TBThursday Long before Trump advisor Stephen Miller appeared on the scene, there was California's Prop. 187, a.k.a. the "Save Our State" (SOS) initiative. This cartoon ran in the Fresno Bee on Sept. 2, 1994. Miller was 9 years old at the time.

The U.S. Supreme Court keeps ruling in Trump's favor and enabling his vile agenda without a bit of explanation, using its emergency or "shadow" docket. #Trump #Resist #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNOW #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #SCOTUS

Who's your daddy? NATO's Mark Rutte called Trump “Daddy,” and so do the MAGA conspiracy theorists. Trump nurtured the monster that has latched onto the Epstein case. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

#TBThursday This ran in the L.A. Times in August 1997 with an opinion piece by Claude Steele, a professor at Stanford. The Citadel, in Charleston, S.C., was in the forefront of sexual politics in America that year. Prop. 209, which passed in 1996, banned affirmative action.

Trump's Jeffrey Epstein scandal just keeps going. #EpsteinCoverUp #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinClientList #Trump #Resist #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNOW #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpCorruption

A whistleblower reported that Trump's judicial nominee, Emil Bove, told subordinates at the DOJ to tell the courts, "F*** you!" Trump's sentiments exactly — and not the kind of guy America wants on the federal bench. #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNOW

By stoking MAGA Epstein conspiracy theorists' expectations, Trump and his bunch have built a little Alligator Alcatraz on the Potomac for themselves. #EpsteinClientList #EpsteinCoverup #Epstein #Trump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNOW #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #magamoron

A federal judge ordered the LAPD to stop shooting journalists with rubber bullets, the @latimes.com reports. It's a recurring problem. “The press weren’t accidentally hurt at the immigration protests; they were deliberately hurt,” said attorney Carol Sobel. #LosAngelesProtests
