New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

If we had real journalists.. they'd roll this clip when "who pays the tariffs" is mentioned...

This footnote to Illinois and Chicago's lawsuit against Trump is an important reminder: * There is no Department of War or Secretary of War, which are make-believe names for the actual agencies created by Congress. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. REPOST to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

We know who lynched Trey. There’s blood on those white hoods! #notohate

Trump: "I call them Democrat layoffs. We have a record setting economy. We have a record setting country. Prices are way down. We're doing better than the country's ever done.”

Jasmine Crockett: "Stop believing the lies they are putting out there. The only person that is harming you right now is the old white nepo baby that is sitting in the White House that is causing all the destruction, pain, and problems you are enduring"

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital. “He has Constitutional rights.” “No.” ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

I'm Canadian, but it fits worldwide. “It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.” - Susan B. Anthony

Trump is playing king, and Republicans in Congress are bowing down and letting him do it. Republicans want Democrats to let Trump continue to shut down whatever he doesn’t like and destroy our democracy. To play along with that farce is a betrayal of the American people.

Oh, I found it! That one time Donald said something true.

The founder of a Texas megachurch who resigned last year after a woman in Oklahoma accused the pastor of sexually abusing her in the 1980s pleaded guilty to five counts of lewd and indecent acts with a child, authorities said.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

My quote of the day Jane Goodall

An email issued to federal workers on Tuesday blatantly pinned the shutdown on Democrats. trib.al/6vv3Ogu This language violates the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch. It could also violate the Hatch Act, designed to limit partisan messaging from federal employees.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

Republicans will bend over backwards to pass tax breaks for billionaires. But stopping your premiums from doubling? They would rather shut down government than do that. And that's exactly what they are doing.

Q: Do you think these tariffs are worth it? Laid off John Deere employee: It's really killing us. We were told that they were going to do everything we could for the American workers, and we're seeing quite the opposite

Kudos to Newsom for this!

Where are the House Republicans? NOT in D.C., that’s for sure. Speaker Johnson won’t even seat Rep. Grijalva because of the Epstein files.

Oh, that’s a good one.

OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. This government shutdown is on them.

Call Congress's switchboard at (202) 224-3121, give zip code 71111 to get Mike Johnson's office. Tell him to "SWEAR IN REP. ADELITA GRIJALVA NOW!!!"

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

This is interesting. Especially the lutnick part! 😳 We know you're in the files krasnov! Can't sue everyone! Can't silence everyone! Can't shut down any more governments! Can't attack any more cities! We're not distracted It's coming out Donald! Drip drip drip! #ReleaseTheFiles FFS!!

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

This was always the plan. Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

History has many painful lessons.

Don't just take it from us, take it from 42 judges: President Trump's continued targeting of his perceived political opponents endangers everyone's civil liberties.

"[The economy] looks like it’s going in the wrong direction...and that’s why we need this data now." Multiple crises at the Bureau of Labor Statistics are colliding just as a critical jobs report, which is all but certain to be delayed, is needed more than ever.
