Lucky timing from RAM: This strip ran the morning after Dear Leader announced the tariffs, before the markets could react — Trump had delayed his announcement until after closing — and so was drawn even earlier than that.The markets were already shaky, but nowhere approaching the thundering crash we’re still experiencing, thanks to the jaw-dropping […]
Jen Sorensen starts us off with a plain statement: The Bill of Rights is no longer part of our government, or of our daily lives. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press can be restricted if people speak or write things that go against official policy, and freedom of religion means the freedom to […]
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. ICYMI, our president actually said “An old fashioned term that we use — groceries — I used it on the campaign. It’s such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. ‘Groceries.’ It’s a bag with different things in it.”This is, of course, the same president who believes that […]

Katauskas isn’t exaggerating by a whole lot, and while the current flood of insanity might make it hard for a fortuneteller to go off the rails, the resulting target-rich environment poses a different challenge for political cartoonists.There is, first of all, the question of which event to pick up on. You don’t want to avoid […]
