Democrats’ Midterm Messaging

Republicans are tanking in the polls, a Democratic midterm blowout seems more and more likely despite voter suppression, but instead of projecting strength, or even competence, Hakeem Jeffries meets with Jared Kushner and attacks Democratic Socialists. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is all Democratic leadership knows how to do and it’s up to voters to save their asses again.

Apologies for linking to someone on Substack (Seriously get off there, Marc Andreessen pays Nazis to post.), but this article about Democrats targeting the elderly to fundraise is infuriating. It was spiked The New York Times and The Bulwark, and is further proof that leadership of the party needs to change.

For the handful of people who’ll say “YOU’RE HELPING REPUBLICANS BY ATTACKING DEMOCRATS!” Ok, boss. I draw 48-50 cartoons a year about shitty Republicans. If the Democrats can’t survive a few poorly drawn comics, that’s a them problem, not mine.

Democratic Defense

Chuck Schumer announced that he’d vote for cloture (which is effectively a yes vote for its passing) on a continuing resolution to avoid a budget shortfall. He and other feckless Senate Democrats will claim this is necessary to avoid a government shutdown. But those of us with eyes and two brain cells to rub together know the federal government is already shutdown due to the illegal withholding of congressionally appropriated funds by the White House and Elon Musk’s DOGE. Causing a budget impasse was the Democrats’ best shot at having any leverage and they blew it.

To Hakeem Jeffries’ credit, he called out Schumer’s move as complicity with the Trump regime. Not sure what else he’s been up to for the past two months that disproves his depiction in this cartoon, though.

Before anyone gives the ol’ “They’re the minority! There’s nothing they can do!” razzle dazzle, there’s plenty of parliamentary shenanigans that can gum up the works of the Republican bulldozers. These two are choosing not to use them for reasons that get more dubious as one crisis after another happens every week of this nightmare administration.

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.
