Once again, time to kick the dust off this 2017 cartoon.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

The Trump Org is currently looking to hire 31 foreign temporary workers for its winery, working from February through mid-October, per a listing with the Labor Dept.

Calls for civility are meaningless when her colleagues Mike Lee and Bernie Moreno are lying that the assassin was a leftist. They’re fueling hatred on the right while she’s taking the high ground.

"If you’re among the vast sea of Americans who remain enthusiastically grateful for vaccines, the time for pushing back against Kennedy isn’t later, when he’ll likely be ratcheting up his program to 'reevaluate' longstanding pediatric vaccines."

It’s not just Mike Lee — Bernie Moreno is pretending that a registered Republican evangelical anti-abortion Trump voter who assassinated a Democrat and had more on his hit list is a representative of “the extreme left”

Saudi Arabia has executed journalist Turki Al-Jasser after seven years behind bars. He was arrested for his posts on Twitter exposing the corruption within the Saudi regime. apnews.com/article/saud...

Canadians are overwhelmed by US media and we see *everything* Americans do. I watched it all, including Trump’s fake Bastille Day, live. A dismal, ridiculous parade is described as “spectacular” while *5 million* people protesting barely registers. Y’all have a problem.

The Port of Los Angeles processed 716,619 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in May, 5% less than last year. After 10 straight months of year-over-year growth, overall cargo volume slowed due to the impact of tariffs on both imports and exports. www.portoflosangeles.org/references/2...

Florida Sheriff Who Threatened to Kill Protesters Has History of Corruption, Racial Profiling and Bribery Accusations

If you’re protesting at small places, get the moms to @ local news orgs to get coverage. (Keep faces out of your pictures if possible, but let’s be real there are differences in protesting in big cities and charged places and smaller ones.

It was the Grease 2 of military parades.

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers? I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

There's no bottom for Trump, Musk, Cernovich, or any MAGA influencer referenced below. They'll lie for profit daily, without concern for the pain they cause or the deaths their words could incite. Anyone reading these animals simply put _wants_ to be lied to.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join. Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard” It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.

It’s just there in black and white if you want to see it.

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

"Experts say the FAQ's citations distort some legitimate studies and cite others that are disputed and unpublished. "In two instances, the HHS memo makes claims about dangers to pregnant women that are actively refuted by the papers it cites to back them up..." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

Sherrod Brown and his wife, Connie Schultz, are currently dining with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer at the Guild House in the Short North.

The Trump admin just figured out why Voice of America, who they want to eliminate, has served us well for many decades.

Senator Grassley's new version of the budget bill would limit the power of judges to block President Trump's unconstitutional actions. They're trying to sneak this in behind our backs — but we're not backing down.

🚨New: “Trump Org Keeps Bringing In Foreign Workers To Staff Its Clubs And Winery” It’s sought to import 1,880 foreign workers since 2008, per Labor Dept. records—including 31 farm workers for its vineyard this year. me, for @forbes.com 1/

NEW: In a letter to the Senate, the U.S. Postal Service says a proposal to auction off 7,200 USPS electric vehicles and rescind Inflation Reduction Act funding for more EVs would hurt its ability to deliver mail and "waste crucial funds for no reasonable purpose" about.usps.com/who/governme...

This is bad. Republicans have fixed the contempt provision in the billionaire bailout bill so bond has to cover the costs. It can’t be $1 anymore. This will neutralize the court’s ability to hold Trump in contempt, and only rich people will be able to file injunctions against the government.

The ignorant and shameful displays continue by our highest officials. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

OMG!!!!!!!!!
