What Did They Think Was Going To Happen? www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

This cartoon nicely sums up the future that the tech billionaires have in mind for the rest of us.

Here's a good, detailed analysis of the three congressional districts in South Texas.

Someone found the latest design plans for Trump's remodel of the White House.

This cartoon lampooning the GOP's response to Saturday's shootings by suggesting a ballroom as the solution is hilariously on-target: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Saw this quote from Trump in today's Washington Post. Utterly incoherent -- except for the last sentence, it's impossible to even figure out what the rest of it is supposed to mean. And yet his supporters have the nerve to accuse Kamala Harris of speaking in "word salad".

I think this is so accurate. The elites have utterly failed the moment, while everyday Americans have ended up being the people who are standing up against Trump.

This made me chuckle

How do Americans now perceive Trump. The following is courtesy of YouGov by way of Daily Kos. It's a shame that the U.S. electorate hadn't figured this out back in 2024 when it would have made a difference.

Straight out of the Twilight Zone

Possibly the most accurate description I've seen of Trump.

I've always thought that Trump committed perjury when he took the oath of office.

Absolutely disgusting

David Horsey has been producing great political cartoons at least since the late 70s, when I would see his work in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He still has the gift...

Nice to get confirmation that Ken Jennings is one of the good guys.

This feels all too accurate. Cartoon: The black hole www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

And the motivation would be the same -- Trump would sympathize with Hitler back then just as he does with Putin today.

I've been saying this for a while...

here’s an Elon Musk Christmas Tale. Merry Xmas everyone ❤️

I first saw Horsey's political cartoons in the Seattle PI over 45 years ago. He's still producing great cartoons after all this time, like this one: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Consider that not only did someone buy and wear this shirt, but someone else manufactured and sold it. In the end, I think this perfectly sums up the underlying ethics and morality of the MAGA movement.

Maybe this will get through to people our age about why shooting boats out of the water based on unsubstantiated claims of transporting drugs is such a horrible idea.

This is an appropriate memorial to Dick Cheney. He was massively and incredibly wrong when he was VP, but he eventually did get a couple things right when he recognized the threat from his own party.

I'm sure a bunch of people are posting this, so I'll be one more -- the AI-generated Epstein Ballroom video from the Lincoln Project is well worth a look and it's only a minute long: lincolnproject.us/epstein-ball...

Seems about right...

So glad that they are doing this.

Here's hoping that she ultimately has a happier ending that her WWII-era counterpart.

Simple, but accurate and well-said.

I'd say this cartoonist got it right.

Saw this at the Contrarian:

Yes, please push him into that other universe...

This cartoon accurately describes not just Mike Johnson but most of the right-wing "Christians", including Texas' own Ken Paxton.

So accurate. Abbott, Patrick, Paxton, and the rest of them see themselves as real Texas he-men, but this is what they actually are.

And I have to give Gavin Newsom credit for this one...whoever is coming up with these responses is really on the ball.

This really gets to the truth.

While the NYT still does excellent journalism at times, this bit of mush from today's NYT morning newsletter is a perfect example of what they do wrong. No, it's not "unclear", because there is no way that tariffs will lower prices. None. And they know it, but are afraid to be that blunt.

Worth reading as a reminder of how addled Trump is. Better yet, start following Rex Huppke here on BlueSky because his stuff is consistently worth reading.

Not new, but so very, very accurate:

This is a really accurate assessment of Republican "logic".

Something a little lighter...here's a flyer that I saw posted in Kochel, Germany on a recent trip. My partner and I had a good laugh when we saw this. That said, it doesn't mean what it sounds like -- it translates as "We're looking for you".

This is just so accurate...not just for Trump's press secretary, but for right-wing "Christians" in general.

Cartoon: Change of plans.

This nicely sums up what Trump means when he claims he is keeping Americans safe...

One of those "dangerous gang members" that Trump is supposedly protecting us from.

The latest e-mail newsletter from Senator Cornyn (R-Trump's nether regions) shows that the man has gone utterly insane. See highlighted portion of newsletter wherein he suggests Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Absolutely disgusting.

Here's a good look at what DOGE is doing to one government agency -- the Social Security Administration. The first paragraph mentions an overloaded website crashing four times in just ten days. This is a gift link. wapo.st/4hM5MAn

For anyone who thinks that Elon Musk and his DOGE bros are increasing efficiency in the federal government, here's a gift link to a Washington Post column that shows otherwise: wapo.st/4kLpNcW

And the diagnosis is correct. Unfortunately, it is also incurable.

The last frame sums up Musk perfectly
