@claybennett.bsky.social Clay, I have been loving your comics for YEARS! (A favorite is of DJT handing alligators shovels as they emerge from the swamp in 2016)! It amazes and, delights me, that in this climate, you haven’t been run out of red Chattanooga. Hats off to the Times Free Press!

I’m a coal miner’s granddaughter, paternal AND maternal side. An uncle and great uncle were crushed in roofs fall in the mines. Two other great uncles died from injuries sustained working for the mine. That’s not usually going to happen behind a desk, either.

So Dear Leader is embarrassing the US at the UN again. He’s telling other nations to disallow immigrants while we cut money for food aid and burn contraception that would mitigate conditions that cause people to immigrate in the first place. He’s not that dumb. He’s a hate monger.

Mellon presided over the Great Depression. Imagine that.
100 years before Musk, one of America's richest men came to fix Washington. It didn't end well.
Andrew Mellon, treasury secretary to three presidents, slashed government spending but ultimately saw his legacy tarnished by the Great Depression and changed by the New Deal.

On the right we have the tech bros pushing AI and Project 2025 promoting large families. For what? To starve? AI is likely to lead to less jobs, at least good quality jobs. Will we even have a capable workforce by then, as they gut education?

Nimrod thinks that, "This is the most consequential presidency in history.", is a compliment! We’ve all heard: Elections have consequences. This is exhibit A. From the crowd that always says, do your own research, they obviously, did not. CONSEQUENTLY, we’ll all pay for it. Thanks a lot.

So the Heritage Foundation, via Project 2025, is remaking the US into their vision. Why does it get to be THEIR version? Are they the only ones here? It’s a representative democracy. We’re supposed to vote on these things. Are you sorry you didn’t listen when we told you this was coming?

Well, well. It seems the toddler in chief has learned another new word: Groceries. If this doesn’t prove to the masses that he has NO IDEA how people live outside of his ivory tower, that he is oblivious to something that’s an every day part of our lives, then what will? Only simple to a simpleton.

Several groups representing “startup nations” are drafting legislation to create “freedom cities” in the US that would be free from certain federal laws, WIRED has learned.
They say they've met with the Trump administration about the idea and that the administration has been very receptive.
