We need a little humor, but it’s still 75% true.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

See No Nazis, Hear No Nazis: Is the Media Covering for Trump’s Fascist Base? Why are Republican leaders echoing Hitler’s symbology and rhetoric — and getting away with it?

Why do Republicans support a president who allows a person to gather information and sensitive data about EVERY AMERICAN. And a naturalized citizen at that. For years, Republicans have opposed legal immigration too, not just illegal immigrants.

Whenever we talk about air traffic controllers, they’re always understaffed, overworked and underpaid. So…it’s probably not a good idea to pink slip 200 of them.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Trumps MO has always been…appeal, appeal, appeal. He did that with contractors, union workers, banks…anyone he had an “agreement” with. He’s like the kid that doesn’t get their way and keeps whining until they get what they want. But now he’s doing it with the Constitution.

Anyone who says they have ALL the answers to your problems is the most dangerous person you’ve ever met. Or haven’t met. We’ve all met people like this. You know this to be true.

I didn’t know we were going to take over Gaza and turn it into a tourist distortion. I didn’t know Musk would try to decapitate our FBI, CIA, and other government workers. I didn’t know Trump thinks he has a mandate for change dictator with less than 50% of the vote.
