Trump pardoned over 1500 January 6th insurrections his FIRST DAY in office.

One of them, my constituent, is now back in custody for threatening to assassinate a Member of Congress.

Trump DOES NOT want this story getting attention.

So let's make sure EVERY AMERICAN sees it.

In which comedian John Oliver does the fact checking journalism you and Caitlyn Flanagan refuse to do and systematically dismantles the imbecilic grift that is Bari Weiss.
Call it a ratio if you like. But it uses Weiss's own words.

I’m sure Donald Trump being up to his eyeballs in this pedo ring has nothing to do with this news.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown.

Inmates say she's getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.

A few other notable Dr. Seuss political cartoons:

Cartoon: Two men stand on a platform with an intertwined beard. One says "America First" and the other wears a swastika. A circus manager announces to the crowd:

Caption: And on this platform, folks, those most perplexing people... The Lads with the Siamese Beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds in the land!

Cartoon: a woman with an "America First" sweater reads to two children from a book entitled "Adolf the Wolf"

Caption: and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones... But those were FOREIGN CHILDREN and it really didn't matter.

Cartoon: A man with a "Profiteer" emblazoned coat sells umbrellas during a flood to people taking refuge on rooftops. A swastika can be seen in the torrential rain.

Caption: Beware the man who makes a fortune in a flood!
