White House Approved Programming

Paramount needs federal approval for a merger, so they’re bending over backwards to appease the administration (it won’t work, they’ll just demand more obedience) by neutering CBS’s autonomy in its news coverage. Other corporate media giants have done the same to pre-emptively appease an administration that barely squeaked out a win and is already underwater in every conceivable poll.

That might work for some industries, but the media requires appealing to audiences bigger than one demented individual in the White House.

Hegseth’s Texts

After two month’s of what would be the end of any other administration’s scandals, the one that seems to have stuck is Pete Hegseth communicating war crimes through insecure channels. The war crimes themselves are the same stuff we’ve been doing for a quarter century, but the Department of Defense at least tried to wait a while before letting the media know about it.

Hegseth was grossly unqualified from the get-go, and his boozy stink should be on every senator who voted to confirm him, or anyone in this fascist cabinet. Another thing this leak illustrates is how little Trump is involved in his own administration. These goons are free to do whatever freak shit they want while the demented president golfs or watches TV.

Events at the Trump Center for the Performing Arts

Trump firing the board of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts is hardly the most disastrous thing this administration has done in its first month, but it has the potential to be one of the tackiest. Trump is a bitchy NYC musical theater fan who was never welcomed in that world, so he’s remaking the Kennedy Center into Branson on the Potomac.

The measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico is the latest in what will be years of lessons that the federal government actually did stuff before an apartheid guy was allowed to dismantle it for the LOLZ. The wrecking of our meager medical infrastructure and safety net are going to have even worse outcomes the longer this goes on, and if 2020’s covid response is any indication, people are going to get even crazier.

The MAGA Zone

Three weeks in and things are looking pretty bleak. Democrats are still acting like they can wait this out until the midterms, but who knows what’ll be left of the federal government by the time Elon’s done stripping it for parts and lining his already bloated pockets.

On a positive note, a lot of the original Twilight Zone episodes hold up incredibly well over 60 years later. I stuck with the ones everyone knows, but I watched “Night of the Meek” for the first time over the holidays and it got me back to revisiting some of the more obscure ones.

2025 Corporate Media Style Guide

After less than a week of insane (and illegal, if laws were still real) executive orders, the mainstream media has rolled over and showed its belly to the second Trump administration. The publishers and owners signaled this move was coming throughout the election, but to see them all become state media apparatuses overnight was jarring.

When these policies were first introduced to the public with coverage of Project 2025, the public recoiled, because it’s unpopular Nazi shit. The media gave Trump a boost by letting him claim he disavowed it, but now that he’s practically signing copies with each executive order, they’re desperately trying to spin their audiences into favoring it or pretending it’s not happening.

Unfortunately, mainstream media’s not the only one doing it. Democratic leadership seems to be using this same playbook instead of acting anything like an opposition party.

Evergreen Trump II Cartoons

I’m not going to repeat my 2017-2021 comics with weekly renderings of this bozo and his rotating cadre of fascist flunkies’ every outrageous move. Since the election, a lot of editorial cartoonists have almost gleefully returned to that era with nonstop “Can ya believe this?!” comics, and yeah, we believe it. It’s happened twice.

Pointing out the awfulness of the imminent administration is probably the most well-covered topic of the past decade. I’m almost as bored with the subject as I am terrified of what’s to come. I’ll highlight mutual aid and direction action, but will probably make more jokes about things unrelated to current events to give myself, and hopefully readers, a break from this shitty human being.

The Plutocrats

Oligarchs, plutocrats, whatever you want to call them, they’re all breaking their necks to be the first to lick Trump’s boots before he’s even sworn in for the second time. Something really is wrong with billionaire brains because they’re the one class that doesn’t have to think or worry about the guy at all. They’re gonna be fine!

They’re each uniquely awful in their own ways, but Zuckerberg’s latest move to explicitly throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus might be the most craven. He’s so convinced people won’t leave his platforms that he’s copying what Elon Musk did to Twitter and not expecting half its userbase to leave.

Maybe there are enough people addicted to Facebook and Instagram for that to succeed, but I won’t be posting anything there besides links that no one sees anyway.

Unqualified Cabinet Candidates

Read the comic on Patreon.

The second transition of this administration is even more unprepared than the first one. It’s almost like they wanted and expected to lose. But Democrats snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once again, so here we are.

Seems like every creep, freak, and weirdo that was too bonkers last time is all that’s left to be make our lives miserable for at least the next four years. Focusing on the freak-of-the-week is largely a distraction that the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation are fine with so they’re doing the real work of dismantling the country and selling it for parts in relative obscurity.

I’ll get to them, but sometimes a face like Matt Gaetz’s comes along that’s just begging me to draw it.
