R.P. McMurphy was Jack Nicholson’s character in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Seems appropriate since the world has gone nuts.

🔥 WATCH: “Republicans in Congress cut all THIS (Medicaid, SNAP) so they could pay for THAT (tax cuts for the rich)… follow the money.”

@warnock.senate.gov joins Coach Sully to use the cups to show who Republicans are really fighting for — the richest among us.

In a new measure of judicial performance, Trump judges “dominate” Biden judges… except the study doesn’t prove that at all.

The Scorpion and the Frog
One day a scorpion was walking along and came to a stream. It wanted to cross it but knew that it could never swim that far. The scorpion then saw a frog and asked "Frog, can you carry me across the stream?" /1

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland.

Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found.

just boosting this. ruben’s work is so, so good and his early stuff is a delight. he sort of sprang forth fully formed, as a cartoonist.
hey don't sleep on my buddy @rubenbolling.bsky.social 's KS. he's been doing a complete collection of his work in reverse chronological order, and these are the first two volumes. His early work was non-political and as such, a lot more timeless than mine was! www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

literally every single day I write about some consumer protection standard it took a decade to build getting destroyed by weird Trump zealots

yet, for some curious reason, the idea that Republicans are corrupt liars maliciously undermining the public interest isn't a dominant narrative in media

This is quite a hed/subhed.
1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex.
2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands
3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.
