It is blatantly unconstitutional.
The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

People were frustrated, angry, even scared—veterans, federal workers, parents, seniors. We must be bold and not afraid, especially when policies hurt our economy and threaten the health and safety of ALL.

In the first panel, a man in a suit wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat says, "You better stand up and cheer for a kid with brain cancer." In the second panel, a small child says, "I have brain cancer, please don’t cut my funding," to which the MAGA-hat-wearing man responds, "fuck off." The comic critiques perceived hypocrisy in political support for children with illnesses versus policy actions.
Pretty much, yes.
