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.

Blight at the Museums

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.

America’s Pest Threats

Once eradicated in the United States, screwworms are back thanks to this administration. I only knew about botflies previously, and apparently they’re nicer than screwworms, since they typically don’t kill their host.

I was already squicked out by bugs thanks to my blister beetle encounter (May’s exclusive comic for $5/mo patrons), and this screwworm news will be keeping me far away from any county fair livestock this summer.

Does this cartoon have any nuance or satire beyond “These guys are gross and they literally suck?” No, but I had fun drawing it and I think I captured RFK Jr.’s true form.

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.

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.

Future Supreme Court Decrees

All three branches of government are rubber-stamping a demented pedophile’s whims. The Supreme Court has gone out of its way with the shadow docket to overrule lower courts who have been the only check on this year’s rapid descent into fascism.

They intend to rule over us from their gaudy temple in their silly robes, free of consequences, while the public is expected to just be civil as they go about the demolition of the last century of progress. I don’t have any solutions that don’t count as incitement, so I’ll stop typing now.

There are still residents, including citizens, getting exiled (deported ain’t the right word), but Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership have decided that members of Congress visiting them in gulags to highlight their plight is a distraction from the important work of their latest stunt. Impeachment and obstruction are also considered “distractions” so the Democrats’ message is clear: We’re on our own, until the fundraising texts begin again.

David Zaslav makes $50+ million a year to make decisions that everyone knows are dumber than dogshit. Dude is very lucky Luigi Mangione wasn’t a superfan of any of the shows he abruptly cancelled.

AG Sulzberger recently published some self-indulgent op-ed about preserving democracy and press freedoms that are under attack, presumably while wearing Tim Robinson’s hot dog outfit from I Think You Should Leave. This “Just-Asking-Questions” nepo-baby’s paper recently did a glow-up profile of Curtis “Moldbug” Yarvin, an internet forum crank and white supremacist from the early aughts who has somehow captured the imaginations of the racist dullards who are ruining everything.

I’d recommend an actual good book here, but I’ve been self-soothing by reading the dumbest pulp sci-fi books on my nightstand lately. So unless you’re a teen reading this in the late ’60s or ’70s I don’t think they’d be your thing.

Camp Corruption

Another session of the Federalist Society’s judicial junta struck down affirmative action, the racial equality kind, at least. Rich legacy white failsons are still able to get admitted.

I’m not sure how many years of being screamed at to “VOTE!” I can take when these fascists strike down anything nerds like Leonard Leo and his billionaire donors don’t like. The courts have to be packed before it’s too late, if it’s not already.
