When the NFL announced that Bad Bunny will be the halftime performer at Super Bowl LX, the white nationalist MAGA crowd lost their minds. I hope Bad Bunny takes a knee too. #BadBunny #MAGA #SuperBowlLX #Trump #NFL

Donald Trump is trying hard to give birth to his very own autocracy. I hope he has a painful labor. #Tylenol #Trump #medicine #conspiracy #RFKJr #HHS #virus #vaccine #antivaxxer #science #hoax

Trump is using the once independent DOJ to go after his political enemies for imaginary crimes and/or the crime of insufficient fealty. #Trump #Comey #DOJ #PamBondi #retribution #vengeance #dictator #FascistRegime #enemies

Trump is acting like he is shocked and disappointed that Putin is continuing his war against Ukraine. Give me a break. For 3.5 years Trump's been parroting Putin's talking points and rewarding him with praise and red carpets. #Putin #UkraineRussiaWar #Trump #drone #Zelensky #war

Trump is not a physician, but he plays one on TV. He continues to poison America's relationship with truth, science and medicine. #Tylenol #Trump #RFKJr #science #medicine #conspiracy #quackery #poison #truth #lies

Aaah … the perils of drawing in a 24-hour news cycle. As I was finishing up inking this cartoon, the news broke that Jimmy Kimmel was coming back. It doesn’t excuse the mafia-like tactics used by Trump and Brendan Carr of the FCC. #Trump #FCC #JimmyKimmel #Disney #BrendanCarr

Trump is on a mission to end all free speech that he doesn't agree with, including the comedy of late night talk show hosts. Heeeeere's authoritarianism!

Most presidents would be bringing the country together in the wake of a political assassination. Not Trump. He is turning up the volume on his lies and divisive rhetoric. #Trump #assassination #FreeSpeech #doxxing #TurningPointUSA #MAGA #retribution #Hate #partisan #SpinalTap

Political violence of any kind is not acceptable. Period. But neither is destroying a person's life and livelihood if they disagree with you or criticize someone you like. #assassination #MAGA #retribution #shooting #TurningPointUSA #doxxing

Trump continues to call the Epstein birthday doodle a "hoax" despite the evidence. So somebody planted a fake letter in a birthday book 22 years ago? That is some serious planning.

In case you missed it, Trump shared a meme called "Chipocalypse Now", a parody of the movie Apocalypse Now, but instead of Vietnam, the war takes place in Chicago. #ApocalypseNow #Trump #war #Chicago #deportations #immigration #crime #troops #NationalGuard

Trump promised to end foreign wars but he never said anything about all of his own personal wars. Now he's renaming the DOD to reflect his desire to be a military despot. #war #Immigration #DOD #Trump #warmonger #racism #sexism #Chicago #deport #democracy #defense #truth #science

Trump is doing everything he can to deflect and distract from the release of the Epstein files and the GOP is helping him. The cover-up is real. #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp #JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinFiles #CoverUp #Trump #TrumpEpsteinFiles

Changing the logo for a family restaurant is not hurting anyone. Changing the CDC to include crackpot science is extremely dangerous.

Trump is declaring war against fair elections, immigration, democracy, truth, history, the courts, the Constitution and anyone who dares to criticize him. We are watching a political coup unfold in plain sight. #Trump #Constitution #retribution #NationalGuard #ICE #FBI #coup

Yes, President Trump actually said that the Smithsonian is focusing too much on “how bad slavery was” and he plans to set the record straight. Good people on both sides and all ...

Turns out the Alaska Summit and the big White House meeting with Zelensky and European leaders was all just for show. Trump is doing nothing and Putin is back to bombing civilians in Ukraine. #TrumpPutinSummit #PutinIsaWarCriminal #Trump #Putin #Ukraine #Zelensky #war

Trump continues to legitimize a brutal war criminal who invaded a sovereign democracy. By meeting the Russian dictator on U.S. soil, Trump handed Putin a propaganda victory. And, yes, there was a red carpet! #Trump #Putin #PutinIsaWarCriminal #PutinsPuppet #Ukraine #Alaska #war

Here is my 1995 cartoon about an Enola Gay exhibit at the Smithsonian that the GOP-led Congress complained depicted the Japanese as victims. Imagine that! The Smithsonian bowed to pressure and cancelled the exhibit. Sound familiar? #smithsonian #Trump #museum #revisionisthistory
