Despite yelling about "fiscal responsibility," Republicans have exploded the deficit for the past 50 years. By contrast, for two generations, Democratic presidents have diligently brought down the deficit, only to have their work undone whenever Republicans seize power.

It’s easy to trim a budget when you don’t care about American healthcare, about American laws, or about the needs of the American people. Everything’s easy when you ignore the responsibilities and commitments of elected office.

This is from years ago but brought to mind by Trump’s new labor secretary saying they’d do away with DEIA policies. “A” stands for Accessibility, which means no disabled.
Tell me how Trump’s GOP aren’t Nazis. I dare you.

This is a brilliant editorial cartoon and the Washington Post killed it. Dark times ahead.
I wanted to share my friend and cartooning colleague Ann Telnaes's news that she titled, "Why I'm Quitting the Washington Post." Here are her words:

“Privatization” never saved people a dime. It did, however, make rich people richer.
When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.
