Katie Zacharia started as the White Press Secretary this week and even though bar is through the floor, it was rough stuff. The ones from the second term are going to make Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee and Kayleigh McEnany look like the greatest orators of the 21st Century. There was another one in the first administration but I don’t remember anything about her.

After dubious intelligence from the Israelis about an Iranian assassination plot, the Secret Service whisked Trump off of Air Force One in a catering cart and flew his fat ass to the UK on a military plane. Members of his cabinet and the press remained on the decoy plane which is a very funny way to find out you’re not in his inner circle after a decade spent debasing yourself to get in his (quite smelly) orbit.

Trump’s been beefing with the Smithsonian ever since he got back into office. The attacks have ramped up recently, with signs warning passersby that dangerous facts may lurk in the various museums that surround the National Mall. Unlike the National Parks, the Smithsonian has resisted most of his meddling so far, but American Institutions don’t have a great track record when it comes to fighting this latest round of fascism.
These free museums are the jewel of DC’s Federal Zone, which would be otherwise full of nothing but lanyard-wearing dweebs or Nazi dweebs in khakis. I’ve never made it to the Air and Space Museum’s annex at Dulles, or the Intrepid Museum in NYC, so I’ve yet to see one of the retired Space Shuttles. I’ll have to make do with the ancient Gemini capsule replica at Boston’s Museum of Science that’s been there since I was a little kid.
Headlines, and my comics as well, have mostly moved on, but Trump was best friends with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. It’s a real easy way to remember that Trump is the worst without having to get into the weeds about any given week’s controversy.

Like STIs on his island, more Epstein files are slowly leaking out and spreading everywhere. Pam Bondi’s redactions are sloppy, arbitrary, and leave a Donald-Trump-shaped hole in what they omit.
RFK Jr.’s Measles Marathon continues to break records across the country, Mike Johnson’s fine with a few essential amendments getting ignored to speed up DHS’s pogroms, and John Roberts had his flunkies sign NDAs as soon as Trump won, which is something a totally respectable branch of government does.

How is it a week before Thanksgiving already? The holidays are always a mess of early deadlines to accommodate publications that have staff who get time off, unlike myself. This happens predictably every year, so naturally I’m scrambling at the last minute once again to get things out before everyone hunkers down while we wait to see what horrors 2025 still has in store for us before it’s 2026’s turn to kick our ass.

The federal government’s been shutdown for a month and SNAP funding is about to be denied to tens of millions of hungry families. Republicans are threatening to starve people in order to deny them medical care. Real cartoon villain shit, yet somehow there’s a good chance Democrats will blink and throw their constituents under one evil bus to avoid another.
Mike Johnson is a vile little worm, and he’s not even fun to draw. Just your basic Heritage Foundation nerd who’d eat his own grandmother if it gave him a sliver of power. Johnson’s refusing to seat Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election months ago. She’d be the deciding vote to release the Epstein files, so Speaker Worm is refusing to swear her into Congress.
The House has barely been in session this year, so Johnson and his son have had a lot of time to monitor each other’s porn habits while the country burns.

After a fun and inspiring weekend of No Kings protests (which I’ll be posting about later as this month’s Patreon exclusive), it was back to the Trump’s Demented Fascism Show. In the midst of the shutdown, drone-striking innocent people in international waters, and ICE continuing to terrorize cities, this administration demolished the East Wing of the White House to build their Bribery Ballroom, brought to you by corporate sponsors and the failure to enforce the Emoluments Clause the first time around.
Destroying an historic building is obviously minor compared to the daily horrors Trump’s inflicting on actual living human beings, but the symbolism to what he’s doing to the country is so blatant even the media is starting to notice the big ol’ binch ain’t right in the head. Maybe the Democratic leadership will be next to notice.
