The Supreme Court completed John Roberts’ lifelong dream of rolling back the Voting Rights Act and ending the United States’ extremely brief tenure as a true representative democracy. Immediately after their decision last week, former slave states eagerly redrew their maps, and their Black populations out of the electoral process.

The New York Times did another one of their idiot safaris and profiled a bunch of regretful Trump voters. I drew something similar last year when one of these was making the rounds on social media.
I wrote a longer post about this focus group phenomenon on Patreon. Become a free member to see stuff like that when it becomes public, or see it as soon as I post for just a buck a month!

Gross slob and Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently released a fascist manifesto on X, the app that loves that sort of thing. As the AI bubble begins to show cracks even its boosters can’t ignore, the CEOs are becoming increasingly belligerent, having spent years surrounded by yes-men and yes-chatbots telling them everyone loves having the entire economy propped up by vaporware no one wants.
I could’ve easily included Google, Microsoft, and Apple CEOs in this comic too, but the one’s featured here are all-in on Al and fascism and have yet to contribute anything beneficial to society. You could make the case that Musk and Zuck used to make things, but you’d be wrong, dummy. They bought (or stole) already existing things and then took credit for it. Even I could do that if I had apartheid emerald mine money.
Anyway, I’ll continue hammering away at the idea that AI rots your brain, and the only proof you need is its loudest proponents.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is still happening next weekend, despite Trump constantly wiping his doo-doo ass with the First Amendment, threatening to jail real journalists, and in some cases having his goons actually follow through. The preening bozos who will be attending and hosting this thing are more gossip columnists and state propagandists than the journalists Trump is targeting, and none of them are even good at the job like Leni Riefenstahl.

The week started with the President threatening to annihilate Iran in a deranged post on his vanity website. That didn’t happen, which is a pleasant surprise! Despite claims of a ceasefire, we’re exactly where we’ve been for over a month now: Lots of people are dead in Iran and lots of boats are stuck in the Strait of Hormuz.
While we were all contemplating our mortality Tuesday, Congress was away on vacation, doing nothing to exercise any constraints on this madman. Of course Republicans are largely to blame, but Democrats also overwhelmingly approved of this stupid war in a retroactive vote that occurred after the bombs were already falling on schools and hospitals.
The plan since January 2025 was to give Trump enough rope to hang himself in the midterms. That’s a lot of rope, and a lot of people are being hanged while we wait for them to actually be seated.
While in the minority, they could gum up this idiot fascist machine by refusing to fund it, or confirm Trump’s unqualified and dangerous flunky nominees. I know this is possible because I remember Mitch McConnell. He practically single-handedly ruined the last quarter century by wielding every bit of power available to the Senate minority.

After starting a war without a plan, the United States may be about to end it without one, while leaving Iran with more leverage that it had before it began now that it’s collecting tolls from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The administration’s attempts to spin this as a victory aren’t landing with the MAGA crowd, who usually will eat whatever Trump serves them, but apparently even they have a limit and it’s $4+ gas.
Thousands of innocents killed, billions wasted, and turning the United States into a pariah state all because a sundowning pedophile got bored and thought some explosions would liven up his TV time. Now he’s bored again, and we all have to sit helplessly and wait for him to pick his next target. Unless you’re in Congress. There’s a lot of things you could be doing to put an end to this, but none of them read my comics.

TSA workers remain unpaid during the DHS shutdown, while ICE agents are fully funded to be the demented President’s personal dipshit army and now are deployed to stand around airports doing nothing. To be fair, wasting time at a terminal Cinnabon is better than roaming the streets snatching people up, but these bozos were given so much funding, they can do both all while collecting overtime.
I haven’t flown in 13 years. Some of that is because I’ve been spoiled by Amtrak’s meager offerings. While terrible compared to the rest of the civilized world’s trains, Amtrak boasts no security lines, a decent selection of beers, and if you’re in Boston, you don’t have to go anywhere near Logan Airport.
