Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.
That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:
Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Well done.
We gotta call this shit what it is.
You all need to march to Washington, change your political order and then hold every last one of them to account. If you do not then dig in for possible decades of dictatorship and misery.

We hope it inspires them to continue to cower as our essential liberties are systematically dismantled.

As Global Tetrahedron's CEO Bryce Tetraeder put it:
We are on the precipice of a new economic order, one in which affluent men like myself will be able to select their tax rate from a dropdown menu.

*Really? It's been 5 MONTHS since the felon took office. Just how fast does the U.S. Government employment system work??
& then the so-called 1st World job training lauded by Police academies nationwide?
Hooey
keep up the good work!
This was an amazing idea and we are so grateful to have you.
Thank you 💙The Onion
In entertaining prospect of doing so every day until he breaks
Thank you!
Why should they even bother when the dictator has full throttle with no guardrails and no accountability
I like it from the NYTimes but I LOVE IT from The Onion👏👏👏
But, fuck me, funny.
Saying it has "devolved" into totalitarianism is just you telling on yourself that you've not educated yourself on how it's always been that way.
Here's a smoking gun to show that.
Trump did not bomb Iran, the US did.
The US had an agreement with Iran and killed it in 2018 like most of the deals signed by this nation with others.
The US put Trump in power, not once, twice.
Own your choices.
there are better ways to do this gang!
(Suddenly, a phone rings)
I think it stinks and there’s probably a better way to go about it, dollars and goal-wise, but I don’t think they are a villain or should be cancelled
If he's off by 1000%, that's the figure, and that is astonishingly low for an ad in the NYT.
I take her at her word she didn’t pay $250k
like I don’t like defending it still but I truly don’t believe Lelia was misleading
when we read their next editorial about The Dangers of Letting Brown People Remain Unbombed there’s solace in knowing you only helped pay for *some* of it
I promise I didn’t pull that number out of my ass, and I understand the napkin math of the placement
The NYT has $2B+/year in expenses. The Onion paid about $2500 for this ad.
If you're upset about this, you better be upset at yourself for having a bank account. Or an iPhone. Or for using Google.
if you want to give money to the NYT that’s your business
nyt getting money is not part of the calculus, as that will happen regardless
c.a. is right
if you pay money to Infowars to make fun of Infowars audience, you’re still paying for Infowars
there’s better ways to achieve the same goal
it’s not a victory to pay the people who cause & normalize harm to lampoon them at the same time - it just means you couldn’t think of a better way to do it

Are you saying they should do something? Are you letting the GOP off the hook by blaming Congress?
Especially in this moment, it's pretty absurd to do the "both sides" thing.
It's also counter productive bc you're only pushing Democrats further to the right.
CALL & complain to your Senate offices
__🛑 STOP 🛑 this horrible budget bill
__don't sell public land
__ask your senators to EXPELL Mike Lee
__ask where are we on SignalGate investigations
__Chuck Schumer step down from leadership
DEATH budget is murder
Hand him over!
What do you think Democrats can actually do without the majority?
Honest question.
And Democrats won sweeping majority in the House in 2018 due to what was seen as a sweeping overreach by Republicans after they won in 2016 & passed their tax cut.
Try again.
* To what limited extent they can be, after surrendering their power to a tyrant without a fight.
Well done, Onion.
right up your alley.
Not just..' Congress'.

Can't make out the rest.
Confrontational Stance on Iran: Project 2025 advocates for a more confrontational approach to Iran, including the denigration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and advocacy for regime change.
This was the plan all along
We tried to warn voters...
That’s the skeet.
Tu stultus es.
You are stupid.
ouch!
