Republicans know they can’t win on a fair map.

So they’re redrawing the rules to stay in power. Literally.

This is modern day voter suppression.
Call it what it is: rigging.

Elizabeth Warren went to CNBC today and destroyed Donald Trump on the economy. Trump is trying to bury this appearance with a tantrum on his failing media site.

Make sure this goes viral instead.

Sometimes i get tired of feeling like Cassandra, not just because i feel like I've predicted so many horrible things since 2016, but also because when you try to point shit out to people in real time, they never even learn their lesson once they're proven wrong, they just double down.

i spent a literal decade being told that i was overreacting and that no way no how Roe was going to be overturned.

I'm getting the same reaction when I tell people that Obergefell v. Hodges (same sex marriage case) will be overturned sooner rather than later.

Far Side cartoon depicting the Midvale School for the Gifted. A student pushes with all his might in vain as he attempts to open a door with a label reading "pull"

All five kids in my family were in our school's gifted and talented program, and I think my mom saw each of us in this one. Clipped it out of the paper the day it ran and had it tacked up on a bulletin board in our house for at least a decade after.

He lied????

Here’s a 2019 story about the “model”, explains how she was pulled into Epsteins orbit, eventually raped, taken to the private islands, etc. This seems around the same time she was passed on to Trump. just say mid-90s. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncn...

Potentially very exciting news.

I’ve never hated any of the live-action Spider-Man costumes (although that gold trim Iron Spider one from Infinity War thru No Way Home was pushing it) but it’s wild that it took them almost 25 years to just do the one from the comics. And look, it’s perfect. It never needed to be anything but this

😕

a lot of boys don’t know how to interact with other people so the only thing they end up being able to bond over is being an antisocial shithead

There was an actual tapestry. Inside the original double album cover is an image of the needlepoint I worked on when I wasn't playing or singing. You can see where I stitched the words "thank you" before I gave it to Lou.

Democrats need to understand the anti-trans backlash is almost entirely about shifting anger away from the oligarchs and onto a powerless minority.

Dems response should be: the most powerful people in the world are robbing from you and want you to blame someone else. Trans people deserve freedom.

Americans Say No As Terrified ICE Agents Flee from Angry Citizens "It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming. Every day, anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!" a rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in Kansas.

"Did you not realize what this would be, being f*cking Gestapo? Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming...anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in #Kansas. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/americans-...

Fun fact about me is I only spoke French until I was in Pre School/Elementary school. While doing ESL I realized pretty quickly the language everyone was speaking was puppet. You see I'd learned English by watching Sesame Street on PBS. My teachers? Ernie & Bert. Please support PBS if you can.

Senate delays August recess for now as Trump presses for more confirmations A stalemate over the pace of confirmations has delayed the Senate’s yearly August recess for now as President Donald Trump declares that his nominees “should NOT BE FORCED TO WAIT.”

Thread. An explainer of what just happened, and what will happen after the Senate returns from recess.

Thank you!

Spider-Man foe The Lizard wears a big white lab coat, black shirt, and purple pants. Hmm...

Who wore it best?

Planning to make them available through the @cartoonart.bsky.social bookstore soon. I'll keep you posted!

Hot dog spill shuts down highway in Pennsylvania commuters' wurst nightmare By Associated Press UPDATED: August 1, 2025 at 5:16 PM ET SHREWSBURY, Pa. (AP) - A truckload of hot dogs spilled across a Pennsylvania interstate Friday after a crash that briefly clogged the heavily traveled artery in both directions.

A writer waits a lifetime for a moment like this.

"IP" was a big part of that pitch meeting.

Urinal cake/insert that says "Not streaming anywhere; only in theaters August 1; The Naked Gun"

Saw these at Comic-Con! Didn't take a photo because I figured someone else would, and it's also not the best place to take out your phone and start snapping pictures.

Here's Philly rap legend Freeway canvassing with LeVar Burton singing the Reading Rainbow theme. You can see how much it touched Burton.

National media loves to hate Philly because of the Eagles fans from the Northeast, but fuck all that noise Philly is the best.

Trump is whining that the job numbers were “rigged” to help Biden then Revised downwards AFTER the election… but this revision happened BEFORE the election.
